Chapter 7: Frightened Mao Chunqiao
"Your eldest brother bought some meat, you can eat here tonight! Mom will make dumplings for you two brothers." Mao Chunqiao said hurriedly.
In Mao Chunqiao's heart, her sons and grandsons are her treasures, and her daughters-in-law are outsiders.
As for the granddaughter...
Although she is better than her daughter-in-law, she cannot compare with her beloved son and grandson.
After all, the granddaughter will get married sooner or later.
In Mao Chunqiao's words, "Sooner or later, your daughter will belong to someone else's family."
Mao Chunqiao would never use her own good things to support others.
So whenever there is something good at home, Mao Chunqiao will call her son and grandson over first.
At first, the brothers Jian Zhongkang and Jian Zhongliang thought this was not a good thing and tried to persuade them, but every time they opened their mouths, Mao Chunqiao would start crying and scolding them for being heartless and forgetting their mother after getting married.
After a few times, the brothers Jian Zhongkang and Jian Zhongliang dared not mention this matter again.
I just bought fish, meat and other things for my family more often in private.
"mother……"
Jian Zhongliang was preoccupied with something and was in no mood to eat dumplings. Just as he was about to refuse, there was a knock on the door.
"Aunt Mao..."
Jian Zhongliang's heart tightened when he heard the familiar male voice.
Instead, Mao Chunqiao ran to open the door with a happy look on her face.
Because Jian Zhongliang was sitting facing the entrance door, the moment the door opened, his eyes met with the person outside.
"Comrade Jian Zhongliang, we are really destined to meet today!" Director Zhou curled his lips coldly.
The sweat that had just dissipated from Jian Zhongliang's forehead returned again in an instant.
He stood up stiffly and smiled at Director Zhou, "Yes!"
If there was a mirror in front of Jian Zhongliang, he would know how ugly the smile on his face was at this moment.
The smile on Mao Chunqiao's face slowly froze the moment the door opened.
Seeing that the corridors and hallways were crowded with people on both sides, she was a little confused at first, but when she saw her son's appearance, no matter how stupid she was, she realized that something was wrong.
"Comrade Mao Chunqiao, someone reported that you sold your granddaughter and said that you had already received the money. Is this true?" Director Zhou frowned and his aura suddenly rose.
It was the time to get off work, and there were a lot of people coming and going in the family compound. The staff in their work clothes were already eye-catching, not to mention that they were followed by the fawning Director Wu.
Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued.
As soon as Director Zhou said this, the onlookers immediately exchanged glances.
They all had an expression as if they had eaten something big.
"No, I didn't..." Mao Chunqiao's face turned pale.
Normally, she only throws a tantrum at those who are good-tempered and easy to control. If she really meets a tough guy, she wouldn't dare to do that.
At this moment, facing the stern-looking staff, her whole body was shaking like cotton wool.
"Director Zhou, this is really just a misunderstanding..." Jian Zhongliang swallowed nervously and defended himself.
"Is it really a misunderstanding?" Director Zhou's voice turned cold. "Then why did I hear that your daughter was forced to jump into the river and commit suicide by you?"
The people around who were watching the fun opened their eyes wide in shock.
Jumped into the river and committed suicide...
Previously, some people had privately spread the rumor that Mao Chunqiao wanted to marry Jian Qingyi to an old widower whose wife had died. Everyone just laughed and didn't believe it.
Even if Mao Chunqiao dislikes Jian Qingyi, she would never push her own granddaughter into the fire pit!
Besides, with Jian Qingyi's looks, she is more than qualified to be a small leader.
Mao Chunqiao really doesn't need to do anything that would harm others and benefit herself.
But when the staff said...
That credibility is beyond doubt.
Jian Zhongliang's face immediately turned pale.
The Jian family kept Jian Qingyi's suicide a secret, but they never expected...
The staff member standing behind Director Zhou took off the "silver bracelet" from behind his waist.
The "ding-dang-dang" sound of metal collision scared Mao Chunqiao to death.
She let out an "Ah" and hid behind Jian Zhongliang, without any trace of her usual arrogance or domineering attitude.
Seeing this, the few people standing in the front watching the fun silently took a step back.
"Director Zhou, it really is just a misunderstanding. We have already returned the money to that family." Jian Zhongliang tilted his head and gave Mao Chunqiao a reassuring look before turning to look at Director Zhou with earnest words.
He felt a little guilty when he said this before, but now that he knew the money had been taken back by Wang Jiawang, he straightened his back a little.
"Just because the money has been returned doesn't mean the incident never happened. What's more, your daughter was forced to jump into the river because of this. If this matter is to be investigated, no one involved will be able to escape." Director Zhou's voice became colder.
If he hadn't been more careful and asked his subordinates to check it out, he would have been fooled.
The color on Jian Zhongliang's face instantly faded.
Mao Chunqiao, who was hiding behind Jian Zhongliang, was so frightened that her legs went weak. If she hadn't held on to the corner of Jian Zhongliang's clothes to steady herself, she might have collapsed to the ground.
"Could there be any misunderstanding?" Thinking of the good cigarettes and wine that Jian Zhongliang brought to his house during the holidays, Director Wu stepped forward to help smooth things over.
"Yeah, why don't we call that girl Yi Yi over and ask her..." Someone who was close to Jian Zhongliang also stood up to help.
"It's okay to ask, and if there's any misunderstanding, just talk it out on the spot." Someone nearby immediately echoed.
No matter what the truth was, they were certain that Jian Qingyi would not do it, and they did not dare to say anything in front of the staff.
Director Zhou was already extremely curious about the little girl Jian Qingyi. When he heard this, he immediately turned to look at the staff member next to him and motioned him to go find someone.
Before the staff member could even move his feet, several young boys nearby rushed downstairs.
Jian Qingyi was lying on the bed thinking about how to earn her first pot of gold when someone slammed the door loudly.
"Sister Yi Yi!"
"Sister Yi Yi!"
…
At the same time, the slightly excited voices of a group of young boys were heard.
The green wooden door made an unpleasant creaking sound as several boys banged on it vigorously.
Thinking that she would have to stay in this small room for the next year, Jian Qingyi got up and opened the door.
"You..." Come and demolish the house!
Before Jian Qingyi could finish her words, several boys dragged her out.
"What are you guys doing?" Jian Qingyi passively followed them out the door.
"The staff from the Public Security Bureau are here and want to ask you about the incident of you jumping into the river." A short boy said first.
"Why are you asking about jumping into the river? They're talking about Sister Yi Yi's grandmother selling her out." The round-faced little fat man who was pushing Jian Qingyi forward from behind retorted.
"Sister Yi Yi, is your grandma really going to sell you to an old widower whose wife has died as his wife?" The fair-skinned boy who was holding her right arm asked with a frown.
