Chapter 127
Zhou Jiaojiao, Wang Qingqi and Bai Xiuxiu returned at about the same time, but they did not take the same route.
When Wang Qingqi and Zhou Jiaojiao came back, Bai Xiuxiu and the others happened to enter this alley.
Zhao Guifen was just about to find out about the troubles of Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe when she saw her youngest son and daughter-in-law coming back.
She was immediately excited and angry. Zhou Jiaojiao had caused her family to lose such a large sum of money. If she didn't come back, she would have wanted to die.
But... this man came back, and she couldn't help but think of the money that was gone at home.
If it weren't for Zhou Jiaojiao, they wouldn't have to pay any money.
Zhao Guifen's mood was very complicated.
"Mom, I brought Jiaojiao back home. Where's Dad? Where's the rest of our family? When is dinner? Jiaojiao and I are hungry. Jiaojiao has suffered a lot all day. You have to get her something good to eat."
As soon as Wang Qingqi entered the yard, he urged Zhao Guifen to prepare something to eat.
Zhao Guifen's eyelids sank, and she glanced at Zhou Jiaojiao: "You two still have the heart to eat? Your home is almost gone, and you're still eating! Hurry up and go inside first, there's no rush to eat. Your second and third sisters-in-law have gone to the mountains to pick mushrooms, wait for them to come back before cooking."
Zhao Guifen said a few words.
Zhou Jiaojiao felt guilty because Wang Qingqi had already told her on the way that the family had separated from her elder brother and his wife.
Moreover, I lost several thousand dollars.
With such a large sum of money, Bai Xiu Xiu is simply extorting money!
Looking at her mother-in-law's expression again, Zhou Jiaojiao felt a sense of urgency she had never felt before.
She looked at Bai Xiuxiu who was about to take the child back to the house with grievance, and choked up and said, "Sister-in-law, I have heard everything about our family. My third sister-in-law wanted to harm you, not me. How can you use this to blackmail our parents?
And brother, we are a family.
Even if you feel that your parents are not good to you, at least they gave you a life.
How can you use my story to force them to give you money?
You have no conscience.
What do you have to say to me? Why do you treat your parents like this?"
Zhou Jiaojiao's words touched Zhao Guifen's heart.
When Zhao Guifen looked at her, her expression softened: "Humph, what's the point of talking to such a heartless person? You two should go into the house first. We are not from the same family."
Zhou Jiaojiao was happy. As expected, as long as she said a few words to Bai Xiu Xiu at this time, her mother-in-law would be happy.
Bai Xiu Xiu waited until Zhou Jiao Jiao was about to enter the house before she calmly replied, "Why are we here for you? You are the hero who helped me to divide the family property. I can't thank you enough. As for us losing our conscience? We can't afford that.
I still have Qinghe, and I pay my parents’ pension every month.
It's much better than when you guys haven't separated yet.
We have no conscience, so what are you?"
After saying that, Bai Xiu Xiu took her child and her husband back to the house.
Zhao Guifen immediately remembered the fact that Zhou Jiaojiao was the culprit!
Zhou Jiaojiao looked at the old lady's obviously unhappy expression and hated Bai Xiu Xiu to death.
"Mom..."
Zhou Jiaojiao wanted to explain.
Wang Shoucheng's voice came from inside the house: "Alright, if you have anything to say, go inside and talk behind closed doors as a family."
Wang Qingqi and Zhou Jiaojiao entered the house.
The room looked even darker than usual.
Wang Shoucheng sat on the kang and looked at his son and daughter-in-law standing in front of him.
The wrinkles on his face looked deeper than usual, and his eyes were so cloudy that one couldn't guess what this old man was thinking.
Zhou Jiaojiao is about to collapse.
Wang Shoucheng then spoke: "Old Fifth's wife, on your way back, Old Fifth should have told you everything, right? Our family has paid so much to leave you with a good reputation and to ensure that your husband and your two brothers have stable jobs.
Your mother's family has also made great contributions.
All this is because of you. Don't tell me that it's your sister-in-law's fault.
What’s the grudge between your third sister-in-law and the eldest brother’s wife?
You are the wife of the fifth brother, and our family accepts this.
However, you can’t hide from this debt.”
Zhou Jiaojiao felt overwhelmed after listening to what her father-in-law said.
What does it mean?
She has to pay back all this money? She hasn't been home for just one day, and she's carrying so much money? Are the Wang family members human beings?
"If your mother and I had only Lao Wu as our child, we would have just smashed our old bones and paid back the money. But there are other people in this family.
Fifth brother's wife, this family must be united in the future.
If you and Lao Wu live well, and others don't live well, you won't be much better off either.
Now this family has paid for you, and you also have to pay for this family."
Wang Shoucheng kept persuading Zhou Jiaojiao.
Zhou Jiaojiao felt even more upset. If she hadn't married Wang Qingqi, she wouldn't have met the damn Bai Xiu Xiu, and how could these things have happened?
When she returned to her parents' home in the future, she didn't know how to face her third brother.
It was clearly the Wang family's fault, yet she was asked to pay the price?
However...
Zhou Jiaojiao thought about the person she met unexpectedly when she came back from interrogation, and she began to have some more thoughts in her mind.
As for the black market business mentioned earlier, she really couldn't do it alone.
The Wang family is still capable. Let's stabilize them first. If we can really make a lot of money, what will happen if we pay off the debt?
She doesn't want to stay in this broken village for the rest of her life.
She will have to study on her own to go to college in the future.
The Wang family treats her like this now, so don't expect her and Wang Qingqi to be successful and be able to control them in the future.
Zhou Jiaojiao thought about it for a while and finally agreed. She cried and said, "Dad, I will listen to you. I am indeed responsible for this incident. I always tell my third sister-in-law about what my eldest sister-in-law did in our family, and she gets angry too.
That’s when I acted impulsively.”
Zhou Jiaojiao decisively continued to push the blame on Bai Xiuxiu and Xu Xiaojuan.
Anyway, no matter what this family thinks, she will never admit it even if she dies.
When she was interrogated yesterday, she was really scared.
I heard that there were so many eyewitnesses to Xu Xiaojuan's case, so it must be true. Although no one died, a few years in prison is not enough.
Xu Xiaojuan was crazy and wanted to drag her into the water. If she hadn't bitten to death, this matter had nothing to do with her and there would have been no evidence left.
In addition, she met a former classmate who helped her.
She might not even come back now!
She definitely didn't want to spend a few years in jail, so it would be better to kill her.
"Well, I feel relieved when you say that. By the way, what are you thinking about the black market business? When can it start? We have to pay money to the boss every month." Wang Shoucheng urged Zhou Jiaojiao, mainly because the family needed money!
He and his wife didn't have much money left.
We must find a way to make money as soon as possible.
