Chapter 50: How can you drive someone crazy?
Xie Hongchao didn't come because the round-trip fare would cost money, and having another person would increase the expense. Besides, Tian Fang said, "Guihua should go by herself. A mother has to take care of her child. What can they do to Guihua?"
"Guihua, just go there and cry and make a scene. What can they do to you? They can't arrest you, can they?"
"Don't bring your man. It's inconvenient for men to go. If things really get out of hand and they arrest your man, how will you live your life after that?"
Wei Guihua agreed, so she came herself.
Zhou Lin was still very polite when he saw Wei Guihua, "Sister-in-law!"
But Wei Guihua wasn't so polite when she saw Zhou Lin. "Zhou Lin, where's my son?"
"Where did you hide my son?" she immediately started throwing a tantrum.
She couldn't believe that Zhou Lin, a man, would dare to fight with her.
Zhou Lin immediately frowned. "What son?"
"Did you lose your son, sister-in-law?" Seeing that the other party didn't know how to be polite, Zhou Lin stopped being polite and started to act mischievously.
Looking at Zhou Lin's serious expression, Wei Guihua thought that someone like Zhou Lin wouldn't lie, and that Xie Zhizhi must be too ashamed to admit the despicable things she had done.
Thinking about it, Wei Guihua slapped her thigh and wailed, "Zhou Lin, brother-in-law, don't you know? Your wife, Zhizhi, she's gone mad!"
Zhou Lin: Yes, I know that.
"She's completely insane now. She came to the city, kicked me and her brother out, rented your house to two random men, and took Xiao Xie away. She won't let Xiao Xie go to school and makes Xiao Xie collect scraps all day long!"
"Tell me, can you really find money by collecting trash?"
"She's completely ruining Xiao Xie's life!"
"That poor child has never suffered since she was little, and she's raised her so pitifully!"
Zhou Lin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Sister-in-law, now that you've said that, I'm going to have to talk to you about it."
Wei Guihua's wailing faltered. Zhou Lin glanced at her with downcast eyes and continued, "What kind of person has Zhizhi been to you, your older brother, Mom, and Xiao Xie these past two years since you got married? Others may not know, but you must know, right?"
Wei Guihua opened her mouth, but before she could think of anything to say, Zhou Lin said in a deep voice, "But how did you treat her?"
“You live in the apartment allocated by my work unit and take all the allowances I sent to her.”
Wei Guihua quickly said, "Isn't this also for your own good?"
“You two don’t have children, but Xiao Xie will remember how good you are to him and will take care of you in your old age.”
Zhou Lin sneered upon hearing this, "Sister-in-law is worrying too much. Even if I don't have children, the state will take care of me in my old age. Zhizhi is my family member, and the state will also take care of her. Sister-in-law is overthinking it."
“We don’t expect your children to support us in our old age, but since you took the things, you should at least remember our kindness, right?”
"How can you drive someone crazy? Come on, tell me!" Zhou Lin's eyes reddened as he spoke.
Zhou Lin couldn't understand how there could be such a vicious family in the world.
Wei Guihua “…”
"Crazy" is just a casual remark, isn't it?
She's not really crazy.
"You've misunderstood, Zhou Lin. I just spoke in a fit of anger. Zhizhi isn't really crazy, she..."
"Not really crazy yet?"
"How much crazier do you think I am?"
"To become a truly insane person who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
"Don't you know what kind of state you've driven people to?"
Zhou Lin's anger grew with each sentence, and finally he pointed to his temple, "She's already sick, have you even cared about that?"
Looking at Zhou Lin's murderous look, Wei Guihua felt a little scared. Why was Zhou Lin so fierce today?
Wasn't he like a mute before?
In the past, when the Xie family got together, they always liked to mock Zhou Lin, saying that he had gone stupid from serving in the army, otherwise why would he listen to everything Xie Zhizhi said!
But today...
Is Xie Zhizhi really sick?
"Is Zhizhi... sick?" Wei Guihua asked cautiously.
Zhou Lin nodded.
Wei Guihua quickly pulled out a thick coat from the snakeskin bag she was carrying, then lifted the coat and bit open the lining sewn on, taking out money from inside. "Since Zhizhi is sick, Xiaoxie definitely can't take care of her. Zhou Lin, you take the money and let me take Xiaoxie away!"
As Wei Guihua spoke, she tried to stuff the money into Zhou Lin's hand, but Zhou Lin nimbly dodged it.
He dodged Wei Guihua's outstretched hand, still feigning ignorance, "What do you mean, 'lead Xiao Xie away'?"
"Isn't Xiao Xie someone you and your older brother take care of?"
Wei Guihua “…”
So all she said was for nothing?
"You just got back, didn't you?" Wei Guihua asked, her voice trembling with tears. Before Zhou Lin could speak, she began to complain, "You don't know, she secretly ran away to the city by herself, and brought a wild man to our place. She kicked me and her brother out, insisting that Xiao Xie was someone she was raising with her own money, and she wouldn't let us take him away no matter what."
After she finished speaking, Zhou Lin nodded and said, "What she said is not wrong. After Xiao Xie was adopted by us, she gave all my allowance to you."
Wei Guihua “…”
Is this the key point?
The main point is that Xie Zhizhi brought a random guy along!
Zhou Lin didn't grasp the point of her words, and she shamelessly ignored the conversation, instead continuing to hand over the money, "My brother and I meant well before, thinking that since you two don't have children, you won't have to worry about others taking care of you in your old age after you have Xiao Xie."
“Who knew you two would suddenly change your minds,” Wei Guihua said, her eyes filled with resentment. “If you two don’t want to raise Xiao Xie anymore, we won’t force you. It’s not like we can’t afford to raise a child. We’ll just take him back.”
Wei Guihua handed over the five hundred yuan in her hand again, "Here, this is the money that Zhizhi sent us over the past year. The rest is all here, and I brought it all with me today."
"Take it. Could you ask me where Xiao Xie is? I'll take him back today."
Zhou Lin glanced at the money in her hand and smiled, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help you, I really don't know where Xiao Xie is. I always thought it was you and my brother taking care of him!"
"We'll have to ask Zhizhi about this when she gets back!"
"Isn't she home?"
"She's not here. I was just about to go out to pick her up!"
"Why don't you sit here for a while, sister-in-law? I'll go and bring him back."
Wei Guihua looked around. Should she sit down?
Where should we sit?
Isn't this the communications room?
Should we let her sit here?
"Zhou Lin isn't a good person either," Wei Guihua cursed inwardly.
and……
"You really don't know where Xiao Xie is?" Wei Guihua suddenly glanced at Zhou Lin and asked.
She felt that the best course of action was to take the child away when Xie Zhizhi was not at home, otherwise the 500 yuan would not be enough to appease Xie Zhizhi in her current state.
But Zhou Lin shook his head, "I really don't know. If I did, I would definitely tell my sister-in-law."
Zhou Lin didn't seem to be lying, so Wei Guihua could only sit down and say, "Then go pick her up!"
She absolutely had to see her son today.
Zhou Lin nodded and left.
After he left, Wei Guihua started asking her comrades in the communications room, "Comrade, have you seen the boy that the regimental commander's wife brought this week?"
The comrade in the communications room shook his head. "When you came to make trouble before, I often saw your wife with a little boy for those few days. Later, it seems she was sent away, and I haven't seen her since."
Upon hearing this, Wei Guihua, disregarding her embarrassment, immediately pressed the comrade in the communications room, "Where was it sent? Do you know?"
