Chapter 95 Qin Ziwen's Hatred
On the other hand...
When Bai Zhenzhu heard that something had happened to the Qin family, she unusually lost her composure.
She vaguely knew that Qin Weimin was plotting something recently, and that it was related to resolving Xiaohui's job situation. Bai Zhenzhu didn't care who he was scheming against, as long as she benefited in the end.
But then she heard that Qin Ziwen had been arrested for having affairs with women at the factory, which startled Bai Zhenzhu.
Uh, don't get me wrong, she wasn't worried about Qin Ziwen's safety.
Rather, it was because she had watched Qin Ziwen grow up that she knew him to some extent.
Bai Zhenzhu didn't believe that he would cheat on Wu Meifang with someone before he had even received any benefits from the Wu family.
There's definitely something fishy going on here.
Bai Zhenzhu was afraid that this matter was related to Qin Weimin's scheme, and now it was obvious that things had gone wrong.
Worried that something might go wrong at work, Bai Zhenzhu took the opportunity to arrange to meet Qin Weimin at their usual spot that evening after he returned home.
At night, behind the familiar public toilet.
Bai Zhenzhu asked in a gentle voice, "Old Qin, I heard that Ziwen... is he alright?"
Bai Zhenzhu spoke vaguely, but Qin Weimin understood what she meant.
Recalling the humiliation of yesterday, he angrily punched the wall. "It's all that little brat Yu Junsheng's fault! The trap was originally prepared for him, but who knew that kid was so slippery that he ended up getting Ziwen into trouble!"
Bai Zhenzhu exclaimed in surprise, as if she had been startled, "How could this be?"
Then, as if remembering something, her eyes reddened, and she said with fear and self-reproach, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't been looking for a job for Xiaohui, Ziwen wouldn't have been dragged into this. Will this... will this have any impact on him? It's all my fault..."
"If only I hadn't asked you to help Xiaohui find a job, Ziwen wouldn't have gone through all these terrible things. It's all my fault... This is our fate, my daughter and I. I shouldn't have forced it..."
Qin Weimin originally harbored some resentment towards Bai Zhenzhu, after all, Qin Ziwen was his own son, while Bai Xiaohui had no blood relation to him.
Without affecting his son, he was happy to give Bai Xiaohui some sweet treats.
But this matter implicated his son, which made Qin Weimin unhappy.
Seeing his beloved so remorseful, Qin Weimin felt extremely sorry for her and couldn't bear to blame her.
He quickly grabbed Bai Zhenzhu's hand and said anxiously, "How can this be your fault? What did you do wrong? You just wanted to find a job for your daughter, right? What's wrong with a mother's heart? Don't talk nonsense. You and Xiaohui have me. How is your life bad?"
Bai Zhenzhu sobbed, "Really? You're not mad at me?"
Without hesitation, Qin Weimin said, "How could I blame you? What did you do wrong? It's all that bastard Yu Junsheng's fault! And Ziwen, if he had been more careful, he wouldn't have been harmed!"
"You're just too kind. You take everything on yourself and always blame yourself. That won't do!"
Bai Zhenzhu seemed to be comforted, and her sobs gradually subsided.
Qin Weimin also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't stand seeing Zhenzhu cry. When she cried, it felt like his own heart was being torn out.
After a while, Bai Zhenzhu tentatively asked, "Then... what about Xiaohui's job?"
Qin Weimin frowned and sighed, "There's no other way for now, we'll have to find another way. Pearl, don't worry, I will definitely give Xiaohui an explanation."
"Thank you, Brother Qin. It's so good to have you. You're so kind."
Bai Zhenzhu said softly, but inwardly rolled her eyes.
Bah! Useless old man, can't even handle a small matter, and gets outmaneuvered by others.
What a piece of trash!
...
Unbeknownst to Qin Weimin and Bai Zhenzhu, their conversation had been overheard by a third party.
Qin Ziwen didn't sleep at all last night, but he had a good sleep when he got home today, which is why he couldn't sleep last night.
But he never expected that his trip to the bathroom because he couldn't sleep would lead him to stumble upon his own father and Aunt Bai's secret rendezvous.
Qin Ziwen listened with bloodshot eyes as the middle-aged lovers poured out their hearts to each other, his fists clenched tightly.
He never expected that his father was thinking this way!
In fact, Qin Ziwen had long known that his father had an ambiguous relationship with Bai Zhenzhu across the street, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Men are all fickle, it's not a big deal. It's just that his dad's habit of getting red eyes all the time that no man likes. He understands his dad.
Moreover, Qin Ziwen had a secret thought that he couldn't tell anyone.
Compared to Aunt Yan, who was timid, uneducated, and spent all her time around the stove, Bai Zhenzhu was more attractive, had a better temperament, spoke politely and logically, and handled things more efficiently. Qin Ziwen preferred this kind of respectable elder.
When he was a child, he wondered why his mother wasn't Aunt Bai.
So even though Aunt Yan hates Bai Zhenzhu so much she's practically grinding her teeth, her son Qin Ziwen doesn't have any ill feelings towards her.
However, that was in the past.
Now, he suddenly learns that his father's elaborate scheme had backfired, all for the sake of finding a job for Bai Xiaohui.
A fierce hatred flashed in Qin Ziwen's eyes.
He knew that Qin Weimin framed Yu Junsheng in order to get close to Deng Guangming, but he always thought it was to use connections to get his job.
Qin Weimin had been saying that all along, so he believed him.
So even though Qin Weimin's scheme failed and he was implicated, Qin Ziwen didn't blame him. He only regretted that the plan wasn't more thorough, allowing Yu Junsheng to take advantage of the situation.
But who knew, who knew, that he was actually trying to find a job for Bai Xiaohui?!
In order to find a job for his mistress's daughter, he even sacrificed his own son!
To comfort his old flame, his father even blamed himself for not being vigilant enough!
What a devoted lover!
His mother was right after all. Aunt Bai really is a vixen. She has his father completely bewitched and wasted such an opportunity on that little brat Bai Xiaohui!
If, before learning about this incident, Qin Ziwen hated Yu Junsheng the most for knocking him unconscious and locking him in the warehouse, then now, he hates Qin Weimin and Bai Zhenzhu the most for making a fool of him. Yu Junsheng, who actually did the dirty work, is second to none.
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have gone through all of this. He wouldn't have become a factory worker instead of a good propaganda officer.
Qin Ziwen gave a mocking smile.
"Fine, fine, aren't you two a perfect match? I'd like to see just how unbreakable your relationship really is."
After the two left, Qin Ziwen returned to his and Wu Meifang's new home, feeling gloomy.
...
But before he could do anything, the Wu family found out about his affair with Widow Zhou.
Before Wu's parents and two older brothers even got off work, they rushed to the courtyard to cause trouble for the Qin family.
Poor Qin Ziwen had just been heartbroken by his own father and his father's mistress, and was still brooding over his gloomy mood when he was suddenly confronted by the Wu family members who aggressively blocked him in their home.
Brother Wu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and he glared fiercely at Qin Ziwen, gritting his teeth, "You son of a bitch Qin Ziwen, how dare you cheat on our sister! I'll beat you to death today!"
Qin Ziwen instantly recalled the beating he received last time. Forgetting all his sadness and gloom, he shuddered, his eyes filled with terror. "No, big brother, second brother, let me explain! It's really a misunderstanding! I didn't do anything to Meifang! Someone framed me..."
Wu's two older brothers thought he was making excuses, and without saying a word, they grabbed Qin Ziwen by the collar and started beating him.
"You bastard! What did you promise us before you got married? It's only been a short time, and you're already cheating on us?!"
"I'll make you regret betraying my sister! I'll make you regret betraying her!"
Wu's two older brothers were tall and strong, and their blows were extremely painful. Before long, Qin Ziwen was curled up on the ground, clutching his head and howling.
"Brother, eldest brother, second brother, it's really a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... Ouch!!"
"Stop hitting him! Stop hitting him! Brothers, please stop hitting Ziwen!"
Wu Meifang cried and shouted from the side, but her two older brothers not only ignored her, but also increased the force in their hands.
Seeing that Wu's eldest brother was about to punch Qin Ziwen again, Wu Meifang broke free from her mother's hand and pounced on him.
"Big brother, don't hit him!"
"Meifang!"
Wu Meifang lunged forward, her fist almost striking her. Wu's eldest brother was terrified and barely managed to stop.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Wu Meifang is pregnant, so it's easy to imagine what would happen if that fist the size of a sandbag really landed on her.
Once Wu's eldest brother recovered his senses, he immediately roared, "Meifang, get out of my way! How dare he do this behind your back? I'll teach this son of a bitch a lesson!"
Seeing Qin Ziwen's face turn bruised and purple again, Wu Meifang felt extremely distressed and cried, "Brother, brother, please don't hit him anymore. Brother Ziwen told me that someone framed him. He doesn't even know that widow. Someone deliberately locked him up with that widow."
Wu Meifang was at home resting during her pregnancy and had no idea that Qin Ziwen had been arrested for having an affair. She only found out today when Qin Ziwen came home and told her. At first, she was a little angry, but Ziwen carefully explained the whole thing to her, saying that he didn't know the widow at all and that someone was trying to harm him.
Wu Meifang immediately believed it. She knew how Ziwen felt about her, so how could he be having an affair with a widow?
Wu's mother was exasperated. "Silly girl, you believe everything he says? He's just trying to fool you!"
Wu's second brother chimed in, "That's right, little sister, don't be silly. Get out of the way and let us beat him up."
Wu Meifang held Qin Ziwen even tighter. "No, no, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, Ziwen really didn't lie to me. I believe in our relationship. He... he was indeed knocked unconscious and locked up with that widow." She gritted her teeth. "Otherwise, otherwise, why would my father-in-law bring so many leaders to the warehouse?"
Qin Ziwen, who was huddled up in a ball, nodded hurriedly, his mouth bruised and his words slurred, “Yes, yes, eldest brother, second brother, it was Yu Junsheng who locked me and Widow Zhou together and then deliberately called other people over. It was this villain who wanted to frame me!”
His confident assertions and the resentment in his tone were undeniable.
The three members of the Wu family paused in their beating and exchanged glances.
Yeah, I've never heard of a father catching his son cheating.
Could it be that I really misunderstood him?
"Really?"
Mr. Wu was skeptical. "Why would someone want to frame you?"
Qin Ziwen's eyes flickered, and he said vaguely, "Maybe he's jealous that I have a respectable job and a good wife? His wife is a country bumpkin, not as good as Meifang. Maybe he's just jealous that we're living a good life..."
Wu Meifang chimed in, saying angrily, "They don't even know their own worth, yet they dare to compare themselves to our family! They're shameless! Dad, those two are always trying to outdo us; they're no good at all!"
In fact, Wu Meifang had long disliked Cheng Jiajia. Despite her own background and family conditions being much better than Cheng Jiajia's, her marriage was a mess. Why was Cheng Jiajia, that rural wife, living such a comfortable life?
On what grounds?!
Qin Ziwen looked up at Wu Meifang in surprise. He said that Yu Junsheng's jealousy was just an excuse. After all, he knew the truth better than anyone else, and he also knew whether Yu Junsheng was jealous or trying to outdo him.
But Wu Meifang's resentment was quite genuine... Qin Ziwen's eyes flickered, and he realized the dark side of this woman's heart once again.
If the Wu family didn't quite believe what Qin Ziwen said, then once Wu Meifang spoke, they had no doubt about the authenticity of her jealousy.
Wu's two older brothers immediately exploded, shouting, "Who? That bastard dares to lay a hand on our family? Does he have a death wish?!"
Although they looked down on Qin Ziwen, they didn't want anything to happen to him. After all, their younger sister/daughter still needed to live with Qin Ziwen, and if something happened to him, their younger sister/daughter would definitely be heartbroken.
Yu Junsheng caused Qin Ziwen's accident and saddened Wu Meifang, which they absolutely could not tolerate.
"Dad, eldest brother, second brother, you must get justice for us!"
Mr. Wu's eyes were deep, and he was already planning to have someone inquire about Yu Junsheng.
He wanted to see what kind of person dared to frame his son-in-law and hurt his daughter.
Wu's two older brothers had similar thoughts, thinking about when to teach this brat named Yu Junsheng a lesson and let him know that the Wu family was not to be trifled with.
...
Yu Junsheng had no idea that he had unwittingly gained three more enemies, but even if he did, he wouldn't care. He was like a man with many lice, not afraid of the itch. If he were afraid of trouble, he wouldn't have retaliated against Qin Weimin in that way.
Besides, how many people has he offended in the courtyard? Why would he be afraid of one more member of the Wu family?
At this moment, Yu Junsheng and Cheng Jiajia stared wide-eyed and gaped as a notebook fell out of a compartment in the desk drawer.
Good heavens, there's actually a hidden compartment inside?
Cheng Jiajia felt her heart pounding.
They hid it so well, making it so mysterious.
She had a gut feeling that this was something important.
Here's what happened: through Sun Zhengye and Qin Weimin's machinations, they discovered that Deng Guangming seemed to harbor unusual hostility towards Yu Junsheng. Yu Junsheng himself, however, was completely baffled, not knowing what he had done to offend the head of the finance department. He even tried asking Aunt Hao, who was on good terms with his mother in the courtyard, but couldn't find out anything.
A few days ago, they also searched through Yu's mother's belongings to see if there were any clues.
Unfortunately, no.
Even today, when Cheng Jiajia was tidying up the house, she wanted to take out a drawer to wipe it clean. She didn't know what she bumped into, but a notebook fell out with a "clatter" sound.
Cheng Jiajia picked it up and flipped through a few pages. She saw that the handwriting was delicate and clearly written by a woman.
But the content...
He glanced at Yu Junsheng, who was equally shocked, and asked, "Do you recognize this handwriting?"
Yu Junsheng took it and looked at it carefully. "It's my mother's handwriting."
But after he turned a few pages, his face darkened.
“This is the ledger, the ledger of the machinery factory, which she copied down.”
