Zhang Guoqing was right.
——Zhou Xiaocun was lying on the small bed in the guesthouse. Even though he had traveled long distances for several days and had been running around in the city all day, he still couldn't fall asleep.
The more he thought about it, the more the fire in his heart burned. He gnashed his teeth at the thought that all his hard work over the past few months would be in vain.
Coming to the capital was not easy. How much money had he spent, how much good words had he used, just to get that letter of introduction? But in the end, that old bitch Gu Ruyi had a stroke.
The funniest thing was that the bastard had also fallen out with her. The relationship between the two families was so bad that a stranger like him could hear the inside story just by asking around. You can imagine how bad the relationship was.
The thought that the evidence he had might be useless made Zhou Xiaocun increasingly unwilling to accept the outcome. This was completely different from what he had planned. The thought of returning home with nothing to show for it made the veins in his hands bulge as he gripped the bedsheets.
His mind kept thinking about everything he had experienced in the past six months, and he felt more and more that he had to meet Gu Ruyi. Unfortunately, he couldn't enter the compound.
Today, he was about to take out the letter of introduction to register, but suddenly remembered that his name was only one letter different from that bastard Zhou Xiaozheng, and it would be easy to be exposed, so he immediately turned around and left.
Fortunately, he was more cautious, otherwise he would have faced the consequences. He did not expect that his family would be rumored to be like a demon.
The more he asked around, the more people he heard sympathizing with the bastard father and daughter, the more frightened he became.
While the father and daughter were still unaware, it was better to finish the job and leave as soon as possible. Having just arrived in the capital, his desire to stay had faded. He wasn't stupid enough to go along and die.
Zhou Xiaocun couldn't sleep, so he got up, poured himself a glass of water, and sat in a chair, drinking as he pondered. Unfortunately, he had no evidence, so he could only threaten the old woman. Otherwise, he could have taken the note and left her alone, seeking favors from a rival to the Lin family, perhaps even killing two birds with one stone.
After much deliberation, Zhou Xiaocun decided that the most suitable person would be Lin Liying, the youngest daughter of the Lin family. Firstly, she was the apple of Gu Ruyi's eye, and secondly, she was worried that she might harm Gu Ruyi.
Zhou Xiaocun slapped his thigh and secretly decided to do it. This woman was in the hospital, so it would be easy for him to find her. No letter of introduction or a bunch of questions were needed.
After thinking about tomorrow's itinerary again and again, Zhou Xiaocun finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and went to bed peacefully.
At this time, the courtyard of a place outside Xuanwai in the west of the city was also very restless. Late at night, you could still hear bursts of quarreling inside. An auntie across the alley heard the commotion and shouted that it was time to go to bed, as everyone had to go to work tomorrow.
It finally calmed down.
Lin Liying in the living room frowned deeply, looking at her eldest niece Lin Xuelin in front of her, who was wearing a nightgown, with her hands on her hips, glaring at her two sisters-in-law.
"Have you had enough of this? You complain about this and that, what else can you like? If you don't want to stay here anymore, go back to your in-laws' house, or go back to the northwest as soon as possible."
Lin Xuelin stamped her feet, tears streaming down her face. "Did I make trouble? They did it on purpose. They were annoyed that I stayed here and ate and used your things. If I walked around the room a little more, the two sisters would roll their eyes at me."
"Sister-in-law, don't listen to her nonsense. If we did it on purpose, we would have left a bed empty for you to sleep in. We wouldn't have dared to say anything if you wanted to wear our clothes. You took off your clothes these past two days and threw them on my sister without saying a word. Did my sister wash them for you? You're totally incomprehensible."
"Little sister, stop talking. Sister-in-law, go to bed. You have to go to work early tomorrow morning."
"You're the worst of all. You say one thing to my face and another behind my back. What did you say to your two nephews? What did you say I was a guest and asked them to stay away from me? I'm their sister, why do you need to interfere?"
"Did my sister say anything wrong? You ate the canned food, and the two of you were so upset you were about to cry. My sister didn't try to stop you and let you fight? How can you be so clueless?"
Li Jianjun didn't want to come out at first, but when he heard his sister crying in grievance, he frowned, sighed, stood up and put on his military uniform.
After leaving the bedroom, when he saw Lin Xuelin's clothes, he quickly turned around and said, "You two should go to big brother's room and sleep for one night. You still have to go to work tomorrow, so don't make trouble."
"Brother, what about you?"
Li Jianjun grabbed his hat and put it on, urging the two sisters inside. "I have to go to work. You two should go to bed. I'll take the kids out to eat tomorrow morning. Do you have tickets?"
"besides."
Li Jianjun winked at his two sisters to hurry in. He really didn't want his two good sisters to have anything to do with this kind of person. What kind of character was that? If one of them didn't please him, he would kill the other.
Now, after spending many years in the Northwest, he didn't recognize his mistakes, but instead became even worse. If the other party hadn't been so stubborn as to refuse to leave, he wouldn't even want to see him.
He was working away from home, and he was worried about what might happen at home. This was why he always told his two sons not to offend villains.
As soon as his two sisters entered, he immediately closed the door and said to his wife Lin Liying, who was standing there in a daze, "I'm going to work to spend the night. You go to her room and sleep with her. We can talk it out nicely. Don't be too loud in the middle of the night. If someone hears, it will reflect badly on you."
After saying that, he didn't even look at Lin Xuelin. He stood at the door of his son's bedroom and listened for any noise. When he heard that there was no sound inside, he left home.
Lin Liying watched her bedroom door being closed and her husband leaving. She was so angry that she sat on the chair and pointed at her niece, unable to say a word.
Lin Xuelin curled her lips and went back into the house without saying a word.
"Sister-in-law, let's go sleep there. Don't worry, we won't quarrel with her."
Lin Liying looked at her sister-in-law who was peeking out of the bedroom door, shook her hand, and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry about her, go to sleep quickly, you have to go to work tomorrow."
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Lin Liying stood up and pushed her in. "Go to sleep. I just want to talk to you tonight."
Lin Liying thought she should have a good talk with Lin Xuelin, but when she entered the room, Lin Xuelin had already closed her eyes and ignored her. No matter how much she said, she just ignored her.
After a long time, she felt tired and stood up to turn off the light. She saw that Lin Xuelin was already drooling in her sleep, which made her so angry that she couldn't sleep all night.
Lin Liying felt that she must have done something wrong in her previous life, otherwise how could she have gotten into such trouble?
At this time in the early morning, she felt that she had to go to see her eldest sister-in-law today. Regardless of whether her eldest niece was willing to go back to her husband's house or not, she really couldn't stay at home any longer.
Such a grown-up girl, she is not shy about her clothes. The weather is getting hot again, and it is already inconvenient to walk around the house. I can't let my man sleep in the office.
When she thought of Li Jianjun's attitude tonight, Lin Liying tossed and turned.
He had been against Xiaolin moving in before. But what could he do? If she stayed here, could he chase her away with a broom? His eldest brother told her to go back to her husband's house and not to her parents', so she ended up running to his own house.
