Could it be that her husband really brought bad luck to her family? Glancing at the empty belt on Zhu Hongping's pants, Li Li suddenly thought of something, "Mom, where's your sachet?"
Being reminded of this, Zhu Hongping remembered that she left in a hurry yesterday and left the sachet at her daughter's bedside.
Zhu Hongping lost her money because she didn't bring the sachet. Now, she was more convinced that she was cursed by her son-in-law Ling Jiang.
"Li, we can't go on like this. If we continue to be afflicted by our son-in-law, we don't know how much misfortune we will have to endure."
Li Li couldn't help but retort: "If you don't want to be suppressed anymore, then you can only get a divorce."
Speaking of divorce, Zhu Hongping fell silent again.
Although she looked down on Ling Jiang in many ways, to be honest, Ling Jiang was a very good son-in-law.
My son is not doing well for me and is always causing trouble. If it weren't for the help of my son-in-law Ling Jiang, I don't know what would have happened to our family.
If it were someone else, they might not be able to achieve what Ling Jiang has achieved.
After thinking about it, Zhu Hongping came up with an idea, "Li, I know a master who is very experienced, how about I go to him to help resolve it?"
"It costs money to hire a master. Where does the money come from?"
Zhu Hongping showed a calculating look on his face, "How about we go and borrow some more from our in-laws? He has plenty of money anyway, and we won't borrow much, just a hundred yuan. He won't even lend this little bit, right?"
They just gave 500 yuan as a hush money yesterday, and today they came to borrow money again. You can imagine the consequences.
How could they afford to offend a person like Yun Shixian?
Li Li directly rejected Zhu Hongping's proposal, "If you want to go, go by yourself. My feet hurt and I don't want to go out."
Zhu Hongping didn't dare to go alone, so he quickly said, "Then wait for two days. We'll go after your foot is healed."

Yun Yao has not had an easy time these past two days.
She was placed under house arrest by Yun Shixian and was not even allowed to enter the house. What made her even more uneasy was that Yun Shixian did not seem to intend to let her go back to school, but was planning to marry her off to the Bai family as soon as possible.
She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, she had to save herself.
When she starts her life over again, her goal is to go to college, marry a noble man, become a rich lady that everyone envies, and live a life of luxury, instead of becoming a tool for a fool to reproduce!
While Yun Yao was racking her brains to think of a way to escape, the Bai family took the initiative to find Yun Shixian.
The Bai family came not to urge marriage, but to cancel the engagement.
Although Yun Shixian spent a lot of money and energy, trying his best to suppress the news and reports about Yun Yao's pregnancy before marriage, the Yun family's connections and strength are limited, far from being able to cover the sky with one hand in Jiang City.
Coupled with the secret operation of the Zeng family, the news that Yun Yao was unmarried and pregnant was not only reported in major newspapers and magazines, but also spread throughout the upper-class circles of Jiang City.
The wives of various families laughed at the Yun family's eldest daughter, saying that she came back from the countryside and was not presentable. At the same time, they ordered their own children not to have any contact with Yun Yao, lest they be led astray.
Compared to Yun Mo's past notoriety, Yun Yao's reputation is now even more notorious. She has become a bad woman who is despised by everyone and has no self-control and is immoral.
The Bai family came to cancel the engagement just because they heard these rumors.
Yun Shixian was initially very satisfied with the marriage with the Bai family. After all, it was profitable. Later, his youngest daughter was diagnosed with leukemia, and he became hesitant again. He made an excuse to delay the wedding date, hoping to see if he could find a better marriage partner later.
Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes.
Yun Yao brought disaster upon herself, ruining her reputation and offending the Zeng family. Yun Shixian had to change his mind and wanted to move up the date of the wedding with the Bai family, but he didn't expect that the Bai family would be unhappy.
The Bai family is a well-known family in Jiangnan and they would never marry their son to a woman with a bad reputation and no manner of conduct.
No matter how unwilling Yun Shixian was, he had no choice but to agree to cancel the engagement.
He had some concerns at the beginning and did not sign a marriage certificate with the Bai family. The two parties only had a verbal agreement. Even if he did not agree to cancel the engagement, he could not do anything about it with the Bai family.
Now that the Bai family has come in person, it is considered to give him enough face. It is better to part ways in peace than to make enemies.
In the evening, Yun Yao learned from Yun Shixian that the Bai family had broken off the engagement.
Yun Yao had never wanted to marry a fool named Bai. This was undoubtedly great news for her. However, facing Yun Shixian's gloomy face, she could only try her best to hide her true feelings and act as if she was feeling guilty and self-blaming.
"Dad, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I'm willing to accept any punishment."
Yun Yao thought she had good acting skills, but someone as smart as Yun Shixian would surely be able to see through her true thoughts.
"I have asked Secretary Tong to handle the withdrawal procedures. From now on, you should stay at home and not go anywhere without my permission."

Yun Yao's face changed drastically.
If she drops out of school now, she won't be able to take the college entrance examination next year, nor will she be able to get a high school diploma. Her future diploma will only be that of a junior high school student.
Now that the clothing store's business is on track, with a good daily revenue, if she doesn't keep an eye on it from time to time, there's no guarantee that the people in the store will tamper with it.
She couldn't be stuck at home.
"Dad, I know I was wrong. Please don't let me drop out of school. I can make up for my mistakes and contribute my strength to this family."
At this point, Yun Yao no longer hides the fact that she runs a clothing store.
When Yun Shixian looked through the account book, he saw that Yun Yao's clothing store had made a profit of four to five thousand in just one month. Although he didn't show it on his face, he was actually filled with surprise and excitement in his heart.
For a successful businessman like him, earning a few thousand yuan a month is nothing.
He was delighted that his eldest daughter had the ability and courage to run a small clothing store so well.
If such a smart and capable daughter is well trained, the benefits she can bring to the family in the future will be far greater than marrying into the Bai family.
After closing the account book, Yun Shixian had already made a decision in his mind.
"Xiaoyao, it's not appropriate for you to stay in Jiang City now. I will contact you with a school in the provincial capital. As for the clothing store, I will find reliable people to help you look after it. When you go to the provincial capital, you can go to school with peace of mind and don't have to worry about anything. You must get a passing score in the college entrance examination next year."
Yun Yao knew very well that once she handed over the clothing store, it would never be returned to her.
But she had no other choice.
Once Yun Shixian completely abandoned her, she didn't dare to imagine what consequences would be waiting for her.
"Dad, I'll listen to you."
Yun Yao's obedience and compliance made Yun Shixian feel better, and his attitude became more pleasant. "You should go out. If you have nothing to do, try not to go out as much as possible. There are rumors everywhere now, and it will not be good for you to show up in public."
"I understand."
