As he finished speaking, Zhang Weiguo became so emotional that he almost shouted it out.
Suddenly, he clutched his temple and staggered half a step.
The pain felt like steel needles churning in his temples, mixed with Li Dahong's sharp curses, turning his brain into mush.
"Brother Weiguo? What's wrong?"
Shen Xiang noticed something was wrong and hurriedly supported his hunched back, her palm touching the violent trembling beneath his coat.
Li Dahong continued her tirade: "Who do you think I'm doing this for? I'm doing this for the family! You heartless bastard! I knew you still had that bitch Ye Nian'an in your heart, that's why you're speaking up for her like this!"
"Weiguo, Weiguo, have you lost your mind? She's not your wife anymore, she's your enemy!"
"Godmother, that's enough. Brother Weiguo's head is throbbing so badly, please stop talking."
Shen Xiang quickly spoke up to stop her.
When Zhang Weiguo had calmed down a bit, Shen Xiang continued, "Godmother, please don't go looking for Sister Nian'an anymore. She has indeed gained power now, been exonerated and returned to Haicheng. What can we use to fight her?"
"What if we really push them too far and they put pressure on the Zhang family? What will happen to Weimin and the others' jobs? They might just make us lose our jobs with a single word!"
Using work as leverage to pressure him, Li Dahong swallowed his curses and turned them into dry heaving.
If they lose their jobs at this critical juncture, their whole family will be left starving.
But if Li Dahong just swallowed her anger like that, she felt that sooner or later she would get sick and develop cancer.
Are we just supposed to watch Ye Nian'an live a good life with the Zhang family's wealth while we swallow our anger?
Zhang Weiguo recovered, his fingers trembling as if blood seeped through them: "Mom, I'm telling you this one last time, without evidence, don't go looking for trouble with Nian'an! Don't!"
"Otherwise, if anything else happens, not only me, but also Qingqing, your older brother, your sister-in-law... no one in this family will forgive you!"
Zhang Weimin and Shi Fangfang were equally furious about the theft and kept investigating the culprit. They also suspected Ye Nian'an, but had no evidence.
However, when Li Dahong was brought back from the police station a month ago, a family meeting was held, and it was also said that she should not cause any more trouble for Ye Nian'an.
The Chu family is no longer what it used to be. After their exoneration, the state will definitely provide some compensation. Crushing these ordinary people is as easy as crushing an ant.
Who would dare to fight these people? They're asking for trouble!
Li Dahong suddenly squatted down and burst into tears, slapping his thighs with a sound like a broken gong: "Heavens, are you blind? Why are you doing this to our family!"
"What did we do wrong? We've always worked diligently and honestly, and we've never done anything immoral! It was all Ye Nian'an's doing!"
"Why punish our family like this? Why? Is it really true that good people don't get rewarded, while evil people live on for a thousand years?"
Zhang Weiguo had finally recovered when his head started to ache again.
"Godmother, stop talking. Brother Weiguo looks like he's in a lot of pain. Should we go to the hospital to see him?"
Upon hearing about going to the hospital, Li Dahong immediately shut up: "It's normal for normal people to have occasional headaches, why go to the hospital?"
"Going to the hospital on New Year's Eve, people will think our Zhang family has suffered some bad luck! How awful! Do you know how much it will cost?! Okay, I'm going to take care of your dad!"
"What a tragedy! Why am I so unlucky? My husband is a burden, and even the murderer couldn't do anything about it, so he was sent to jail. What kind of fate is this..."
Li Dahong left, cursing under his breath.
Shen Xiangren was completely numb.
She didn't want to spend money, but she cared about Zhang Weiguo.
After thinking it over, I realized that this was the best opportunity to have Li Dahong take me to see a doctor.
Now that Li Dahong controls the Zhang family's finances, she must be rich.
Zhang Weiguo and Zhang Weimin give her a monthly allowance for food, and she has saved quite a bit of it on the side.
As it turned out, Li Dahong had no intention of paying any money at all.
"Brother Weiguo, how about we go to the hospital? Your condition seems a bit serious..."
"It's nothing. I guess it's because Mom's been making me angry lately. As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, I won't have a headache anymore. I'm going back to my room to rest for a bit."
Zhang Weiguo waved his hand.
He didn't want to waste money on this, so he left directly.
Shen Xiang was left watching Zhang Weiguo's departing figure with worry.
That side.
Ye Nian'an and Chu Yan finally managed to coax the three little ones to sleep after they were woken up by the sound of firecrackers.
On the bed, Chu Yan's strong forearms, like clinging vines, encircled her in his arms.
The man's hand rested on her lower back, tracing the familiar curve, as if he were holding a rare treasure, afraid that it would melt or break.
Ye Nian'an nuzzled his Adam's apple with her nose: "Brother Yan, you're making it hard for me to sleep."
This posture is too awkward.
"Um."
He hummed softly, his chin resting on the top of her head, his stubble lightly brushing against her ear.
They still haven't let go.
As Ye Nian'an suppressed a laugh, her chest trembled slightly: "What's wrong with you? Are you jealous that I went out for a bit and other people glanced at me a few times?"
"yes."
Chu Yan's reply was as quick as a bullet being loaded, his arm tightening even more as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones, with a touch of childlike stubbornness.
She poked his chest muscle with her fingertip: "Oh dear, the war god of the army, a big shot who's going to be a commander, and you're getting jealous over such a small thing. When you go back to the army and your soldiers find out, won't you be laughed at to death?"
"Go ahead and laugh."
