Su Dazhi sighed:
"Yu Mei, to tell you the truth, we really can't go on like this anymore."
You've already given all four hundred catties of my grain to your brothers, so I don't need the grain anymore. Go back to Wang'ao; that grain is enough for you to eat until you die.
As for the child, whether you raise it or give it away is up to you, but don't come looking for me again!
Guan Yumei hesitated and said, "Why are you saying that too?! I was just about to ask you, where did you hide the grain? When I went to check just now, even the cabinets in the kitchen were gone?"
The cabinet that Guan Guotao kicked and damaged was naturally also stolen.
"Hmph." Su Dazhi didn't respond, but instead snorted coldly, "Yu Mei, is it really necessary to put on this act? If you hadn't taken advantage of my time at work to have your brothers from your maternal family come and collect the grain, how would we have run into my father and the others? This whole thing started because of you! Because you're such a fool who doesn't prioritize your husband's family even after getting married, and who's been trying to take advantage of your third brother's family!"
"Husband!" Guan Yumei cried out in fear, "I won't do it again..."
"There will be no more." Su Dazhi clapped his hands, turned around, and left.
The factory manager, who was hiding at the end of the corridor, quickly poked his head out to greet him: "Master Su, has your wife left yet?"
Su Dazhi gave a wry smile: "Not yet. Factory manager, you'd better wait until she leaves before going in."
Guan Yumei heard everything clearly in the factory director's office.
Her gaze suddenly fixed on the factory manager's drawer.
I reached out and pulled the first lock; it was locked.
She smirked, took a hairpin off her head, straightened it, and poked it a couple of times—a new skill she had learned from her fellow inmates while she was imprisoned.
The lock is open.
Unfortunately, there was no money inside, only an official seal and some blank letters of introduction.
There was also a large piece of unwrapped chocolate and a few fruit candies.
She didn't recognize chocolate, so she just stuffed the fruit candies into her pocket.
Then they opened the second compartment.
Instantly, her heart began to race—
There's money inside!
There are about three stacks of 100-yuan bills!
Each stack was bound with paper tape, and the thickness was at least one bundle!
Judging by appearance, it's worth at least several thousand dollars!
Guan Yumei was unaware that it was a sum of money the accountant had just retrieved for equipment purchases.
She swallowed hard.
Then he grabbed the money and frantically stuffed it into his clothes.
Soon, her belly started to swell.
After getting the money, she opened the bottom drawer and saw two cans of tea inside, then closed it dismissively.
After thinking for a moment, he opened the first drawer and stuffed the blank letter of introduction and the official seal into his coat.
Then, without hesitation, he turned and left.
The factory manager was still hiding on the stairs, watching her leave, and muttered to himself in surprise, "Her belly wasn't this big just now, was it?"
Back in the office, after opening the window to let the smell of strangers dissipate, the factory manager surveyed the office and straightened everything that the police had messed up.
Suddenly, his gaze swept across the drawer on the desk, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
He lunged at the table, his hand reaching straight for the bottom drawer.
That drawer opens with a simple pull.
He definitely locked it!
With trembling hands, the factory manager opened the tea canister.
The large denomination bills stuffed inside were then revealed.
He breathed a sigh of relief—thankfully, his secret stash of money was still there.
I told you, even if you gave her the guts, a housewife wouldn't dare.
But why is the drawer open?
The factory manager, still feeling uneasy, pulled on the second drawer.
It opens with a single pull.
In that instant, the factory manager felt goosebumps all over.
His eyes widened.
They're gone!
The 9,000 yuan in cash that the accountant withdrew this morning to purchase equipment has disappeared!
The factory manager thought of Guan Yumei's suddenly much larger belly and spun around three times.
Calling the police is definitely necessary, but we need to hide the tea canister first.
He circled around a few times, and finally placed the tea canister in the most conspicuous spot on the top of the cabinet.
The most dangerous place is the safest place, isn't it?
Then, he dialed the police station.
Guan Yumei, after leaving the steel rolling mill, ran away at breakneck speed.
Back in the Su family courtyard, after bolting the gate, he plopped down on the kang (heated brick bed) in the main room before taking out the money.
She moistened her fingers with saliva and began to count with delight.
So focused was she that she didn't notice that someone had appeared in front of her.
Only when the person's shadow blocked the light in front of her did she scream, "Zhou Zhilan! You...you're trying to scare me to death!"
Yes, that figure was none other than her third brother's wife, her third brother's wife, Zhou Zhilan.
When Guan Yumei thought of her third brother and nephew Guan Guoping, who had both been sentenced to 10 years, she immediately lost her arrogance and lowered her head, not daring to look her in the eye.
"How did you get out?! My husband and son are locked up inside, why were you the only one released?" Zhou Zhilan asked menacingly.
She was thinner than before, but you could tell she had a strong will and was much more energetic than usual.
“I…I’m pregnant, so…” Guan Yumei hesitated.
She was still unsure whether Zhou Zhilan knew that her husband and son had both been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Zhou Zhilan stared blankly at her stomach, then suddenly noticed the large stack of ten-yuan notes on the kang (a heated brick bed) next to her.
"How do you have so much money?" she exclaimed in disbelief.
"This is...this is...this is..." Guan Yumei stammered for a long time, and in her haste, she couldn't explain where the money came from.
"You betrayed my man! You betrayed Guoping! This is the money you got from betraying them, isn't it?" Zhou Zhilan's voice became extremely sharp as she became anxious, as if she were scratching glass with her fingernails.
