"You don't know?" Seeing Gong Zhengyao's reaction, Old Lady Gong knew that this matter really had nothing to do with him. But it was also true that the household registration booklet was locked in the camphorwood box, and the key to the camphorwood box was on her. With the boss's ability, it would be strange if he could get it out.
"How should I know? Isn't the household registration booklet with you?" Gong Zhengyao felt a little guilty. He wanted to steal it, but he also needed the ability to do so.
Old Mrs. Gong reached into her pocket and pulled out twenty yuan, handing it to Gong Zhengyao. "Chinese New Year is just two days away. Go to Uncle Dong's house and buy some meat."
Gong Zhengyao took the money and nodded, "Mom, what about your face?" He had been worried that something might happen to his mother if she didn't stay in the hospital.
"I've already asked Mrs. Wang, and she said it's okay." Old Lady Gong said nonchalantly. Now that she had found the cause, she just had to do what Mrs. Wang said.
"Mom, you'd better go see a doctor. Doctor Xu from Shangxin Village and his apprentice are both very good doctors," Gong Zhengyao said. He specifically asked around and heard that they were no worse than the doctors in the hospital.
"Don't worry about my affairs. Go and buy the meat. I'm waiting to use it." Old Mrs. Gong said impatiently.
Gong Zhengyao could only shake his head helplessly and walk outside.
Old Mrs. Gong turned her gaze to Old Man Gong, "What are you doing here in this cold winter instead of staying in bed? Aren't you sick enough yet?" This old man was in cahoots with that boy, and she absolutely couldn't let him know what she was thinking.
"Can't I just go back and lie down?" Old Man Gong stood up with a cough and walked towards his room. He had no say in this family now.
"Mom, you can tell me now." Gong Damei was already very anxious. She knew that her mother would not compromise just because Gong Xiaoyun and Zhan Yifeng got married. She must have other plans.
"What I'm about to say next is only known to the four of us. If you tell anyone, don't call me mom anymore." This matter is very serious. If it gets out, you will go to jail.
"We understand and we will never tell anyone. Just tell us." Gong Damei and the other two nodded in assurance.
Old Mrs. Gong asked the three of them to sit closer together, and then slowly told them her plan.
"Mom, is this okay? What should we do if the Zhan family asks us for people?" Gong Ermei asked worriedly.
"Of course we refuse to admit it. Besides, Gong Xiaoyun is a living person with hands and feet. What can we do if she disappears? We are worried too, right?" Yang Daya said. She thought her mother-in-law's idea was a good one. The most important thing was that all her mother-in-law's money would be hers from now on.
"Yes, that's what we say." Gong Damei agreed.
"Who's going to contact the traffickers? She'll get a share of the money," Old Lady Gong said with a smile. The three of them were just like her, all desperate for money.
"I'll go," Gong Ermei said first. She'd heard that places like train stations were the most crowded with human traffickers. She'd go ask around after the Lunar New Year and she'd definitely find someone. She didn't believe they'd turn down a deal that was right there.
"Second sister, I'll go with you then," said Gong Damei. She couldn't let her second sister get away with it.
Yang Daya smiled and said nothing. She wouldn't do such a thing. After all, the old woman's money would be hers in the future, so why would she bother with it?
As soon as Su Jinyue, Zhan Yihan and Zhan Yilin came back, they heard Wang Meizhen talk about what happened before.
"Do you think she's sincere?" Wang Meizhen asked. After Mrs. Gong left, she kept thinking about it, but she just couldn't figure it out.
"She must have other plans," Su Jinyue said, curling her lips. The old woman, even with that look on her face, still wasn't calm. But she was curious about what exactly Old Lady Gong was planning.
Zhan Yihan nodded in agreement. Old Lady Gong was no pushover. He was currently investigating what happened back then, and both he and Jin Yue felt that Gong Xiaoyun was very likely not Old Lady Gong's biological daughter. Old Lady Gong treated her eldest and second daughters well, but she treated her third daughter, Gong Xiaoyun, like a nobody. She beat her whenever she pleased and even wanted to marry her off to a fool. Even if they weren't related by blood, she wouldn't be so cruel. There had to be something else going on.
"Then what should we do?" Zhan Yilin asked worriedly.
"We must remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Even if we figure out something, we have to pretend to be stupid." Zhan Yihan said.
"Why? Wouldn't this put my second sister-in-law in danger?" Zhan Yilin was a little confused.
Wang Meizhen also nodded and looked at Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue with confusion.
"Only if we pretend not to know will they dare to act so recklessly. Then we just have to sit back and wait for them to fall into our trap." Su Jinyue explained.
"I understand. What you mean is to let them be proud for a while, and then we can catch them in the act." Zhan Yilin said with a smile.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan smiled and nodded.
"That's a good idea, but there's one thing: how do we know when they'll strike?" Zhan Yilin asked. Shangxin Village wasn't far from Xiashui Village, but finding out what was happening in other people's homes wasn't easy.
"We will solve this problem." Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan said confidently.
"Then I feel relieved." Although Wang Meizhen didn't quite understand what they said, she believed in her son's ability.
Su Jinyue stayed at the Zhan family for a while and then said goodbye and left. On her way back, she received a call from her second brother, who said that the people sent to the clinic to help had arrived and she had to go back to check.
When I walked into the clinic, I saw a girl in a purple down jacket chatting with the master.
"Qiuyu." Su Jinyue immediately recognized her. She was the Eleventh Elder's youngest daughter, Gu Qiuyu. Gu Qiuyu had a somewhat quirky personality and a great talent for cultivation. When she first returned to Medical Valley, her strength was at the late Yellow Rank. But after just a few months, she was already at the early Heaven Rank. This cultivation speed was comparable to many talented disciples from the Hidden Sect.
"Fourth Miss!" When Gu Qiuyu saw Su Jinyue, she immediately ran to Su Jinyue and hugged her, "Fourth Miss, I missed you so much." The person she admired most now was the Fourth Miss. When she heard that she would be transferred to help the Fourth Miss's master, she immediately recommended herself.
"I didn't expect my second brother would send you here." Su Jinyue looked at Gu Qiuyu with a smile. Her eyes were round and bright, and her slightly plump cheeks were pink and tender. When she smiled, she gave people a playful and lively feeling.
Gu Qiuyu chuckled, "I applied for it myself. The fourth young lady's master must be an extraordinary person to be able to teach her so well. I want to come here to learn from the master."
