Jiang Yi never expected that such a big thing would happen after he had only worked half a day. Upon hearing the news, he rushed home, only to run into Tian Guihua rushing out with a kitchen knife. He was so frightened that he quickly stopped her.
"Grandma, what are you doing?" As he spoke, he snatched the kitchen knife from her hand. "I've heard about what happened before. They definitely need to give us an explanation."
As he spoke, he helped Tian Guihua into the house. It was easy to deal with these people; there was no need to confront them head-on.
Hua Guangzong, who rushed back with a bucket in his arms, didn't even care about the fish inside. "Old woman, how are you now? Is Lijuan alright?"
He went fishing at the reservoir in the west of the city, always feeling that the fish there tasted much better than those in the river. He had been there for a while, which is why he received the news relatively late.
“She gave birth, she gave birth to a son,” Tian Guihua’s expression softened when she talked about the child. “Both mother and son are doing well, and now her mother-in-law and Zhiping are there to take care of them.”
"Right now, I just want to find Zhou Xiaolan and ask her what we've done to her? She keeps causing trouble for us. First, she broke Xiaoguai's head, and now she's got Lijuan in the hospital. I'll tear her to shreds today..."
After Tian Guihua finished speaking, she was about to leave again. If she wasn't allowed to carry a knife, she was prepared to go and give her a piece of her mind to vent her anger.
These two families are shameless. After such a big incident, they'll just hide in their shells. She won't let them pretend to be stupid and let it go. Besides, so many people saw it, so she won't allow them to make excuses.
Zhou Xiaolan's family had been complaining to each other at home for half a day, but no one dared to go out and find out the news.
Bai Ailian went to the restroom and saw many people pointing and whispering about her. She heard that the woman had been taken to the hospital. She was a pregnant woman with a big belly. If something happened to her, how could her family afford to compensate her?
When he got home, he gave Zhou Xiaolan a severe beating. This daughter had brought no benefit to the family; instead, she had caused them a lot of trouble.
“If the Hua family comes to cause trouble, then you can get out of here,” Zhou Jinfeng said, his mouth swollen from a fight with the He family father and son. “If you’re going to run away, why don’t you run to our own house and hide there? Why do you have to run to someone else’s house?”
Now look what's happened! We've caused trouble. You just wait and see our whole family get torn apart.
Especially when she opened the door, the bolt hit Li Lijuan, which many people saw. Now she's in the hospital. If nothing serious happens, it's fine, but if something serious happens, it's two lives at stake. How can their family withstand the wrath of the Hua and Li families?
"You're a menace! You were so picky before, and now you've caused so much trouble." Zhou Jinfa's curses became more and more scathing. This daughter of his brought no benefit to the family; instead, she kept causing trouble, and the more he cursed her, the uglier the words became.
Zhou Xiaolan huddled in her small room, constantly blaming herself for not staying away from them despite being heavily pregnant, and now this had happened.
And then there's He Ping'an, she's a coward too, she can't even handle her own family. She slept in my room last night, and although she accidentally gave her too much medicine and nothing happened, it still ruined her reputation.
Besides, what family doesn't ask for a dowry when their daughter gets married? The He family, on the other hand, wants to take all the benefits.
Little did he know that just a few houses away, He Ping'an was also being scolded by his parents and brothers.
"What's wrong with you? Didn't you used to hate Zhou Xiaolan to death? How did you end up getting involved with her again?"
Now that there were no outsiders at home, Xie Shengnan just wanted to know how her silly son had been tricked.
Yes, she felt that He Ping'an must have been tricked by Zhou Xiaolan. If it were the old Zhou Xiaolan, He Ping'an would have liked her.
She, as a mother, saw everything and had no ill intentions towards Zhou Xiaolan. She thought everything should be left to nature. If the two were truly destined to be together, and her younger son was also willing, she would grant his wish.
But after what happened with Hua Xiangyun, Xie Shengnan really hated Zhou Xiaolan. She felt that this person was too ruthless and ungrateful, and she refused to listen to anything.
Fortunately, He Ping'an saw through her true colors and stopped following her around like before.
The two had been out of touch for more than half a year, but who knew that Zhou Xiaolan would change when she returned this time.
He just couldn't understand what his stupid son saw in Zhou Xiaolan, who was in such a terrible state.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: the second son was outmaneuvered by Zhou Xiaolan.
After the fright and chaos of the morning, He Ping'an has calmed down a bit.
He went through it in his mind and realized that he had really fallen into Zhou Xiaolan's trap this time.
"This story goes back a few days. Zhou Xiaolan stopped me, and I didn't want to talk to her, but she quietly asked me if I wanted to make some money."
My family bought me this job, and we ended up accumulating some debt, which I've always felt guilty about.
After hearing what she said, I was also tempted.
I figured it was just about making money, but I wouldn't easily believe anything else.
Seeing that I agreed, Zhou Xiaolan actually went to collect some grain and eggs the next day. I secretly took them to the black market and, sure enough, made two yuan.
She helped me sell the products for the next few days, and all I did was go out for a walk at night, and I easily earned back the money.
At this point, He Ping'an was filled with regret. If he hadn't been greedy for small gains, he wouldn't have been tricked to this extent.
"So you went to her place yesterday to pick something up?" He Ping thought to himself, "No wonder my silly brother didn't dare to say anything outside. It turns out he has something on him here."
He Ping'an said, "She used to deliver the things to the alleyway in front, but yesterday she said that she brought too many things this time and she couldn't carry them all by herself, so she asked me to go and help her."
We'd worked together several times already, and I didn't think much of it. I was planning to grab my things and leave, but when I woke up, it was the next morning.
"That's impossible. You didn't drink any alcohol, how could you be completely unaware?" Xie Shengnan was somewhat skeptical of what her second brother was saying. How could he have been sleeping there all night without any problems?
"Did you eat anything inside? Or smell anything?" He Ping usually reads the newspaper and knows that those who abduct children use different methods.
"It seems like I drank a cup of tea," He Ping'an said, somewhat unsure. "I drank that tea, and it just tasted like tea; there was nothing strange about it."
"..." He Ping didn't know what to say. Even though he wasn't directly involved, he felt there was something wrong with the tea. And Ping An, that silly boy, hadn't figured out the situation yet.
No wonder he was repeatedly outmaneuvered by Zhou Xiaolan; sometimes, the impossible hides all sorts of traps.
Xie Shengnan understood after hearing this; this silly boy had been tricked by Zhou Xiaolan once again.
But the current situation is unfavorable to their family. What exactly happened when He Ping'an went to the Zhou family?
