305: The Zhao Family's Plan

(Girls' Literature)

There was a sound from the compartment, and Zhao Yang and old man both kept silent. Before they could ask who it was, Lianhua came in through the curtain. There was a look of surprise on her face, which made her originally pretty face more lively. As soon as she came in, she rushed to the side of her parents and grabbed Zhao Yang's arm.

"Mom, is what you just said true? Is Aunt Yue my sister?"

Lianhua's voice trembled when she asked this question. She felt that this was simply too unreal. The Aunt Yue who was dressed like a fairy was actually her sister. The person who was so high above her and made her feel untouchable before, now seemed to be right in front of her. She could hold her hand and call her sister in the future, and let her give her many precious jewelry and beautiful clothes. It was just like a dream.

"Mom, please speak up! If you don't, I will go ask her myself!" Lianhua said, a little afraid that her mother would hide the truth from her. "Mom, you don't have to hide it from us. Anyway, we all know that Su Zhi is not from our family at all. So it's no good for you to hide where my sister is. It's better to let us know. Then everyone can recognize my sister and reunite as a family. That's better! Isn't it?"

Zhao Yang stretched out her hand and pinched the lotus, glaring at her and scolding her: "You damned girl! You eavesdropped on your parents' conversation outside, and now you dare to force me! If I don't teach you a lesson, you will rebel!"

Lianhua screamed as she was pinched, and quickly tried to please Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang's face became better after hearing a series of nice things from Lianhua. In fact, she just found out the whereabouts of her eldest daughter. She was happy that her eldest daughter became the favored concubine of a wealthy family, so she would not make a fuss about her younger daughter's recklessness. She felt that what her younger daughter said made sense. Since she had discovered the whereabouts of her eldest daughter and she was living so well now, she should let her family know. Then she should find an opportunity to meet her. Then she could help her family and let them live a good life. This was the proper thing to do!

"Go, call your elder brother and sister-in-law!"

Zhao Yang said to Lianhua that of course her son should be informed of this matter.

Lianhua responded crisply and hurriedly called Zhao Yuanbao and Zhang. Zhang came with her son, a little boy born prematurely because Su Zhi bought him a goat. With goat milk, he has finally grown strong, but he is still smaller than a full-term baby. It is for this reason that Zhao Yang still has a bad face when she sees the Liu family, especially when she sees Yang Xianghua. Her face is very long. The two families can be said to be as cold as ice when they meet.

"Mom, what's the matter with you calling us over? Seeing my sister is so happy, it must be a good thing! My eldest sister and her husband just left, could it be related to them?"

Zhang said with a smile. She now knew that Su Zhi had married the right person. It had only been less than a year, and a dying sick man had not only recovered from his illness, but had also become a well-known wealthy man in the area. This was really enviable. She had been thinking about getting more benefits from Su Zhi, and now Su Zhi was also giving them benefits, but she still felt it was not enough.

Zhao Yuanbao also said: "Mom, if you have good news, just tell us, don't keep us in suspense. If this is really about money, it's better to tell us as soon as possible, otherwise the money will run away when the time comes. Your eldest grandson is still relying on the money to eat meat and grow taller!"

Zhao Yuanbao is now content with having a son, and does everything for his son's sake.

Lianhua was listening on the side, giggling, and said before Zhao Yangshi: "Brother and sister-in-law, it is a good thing. It is definitely related to the money, but it has nothing to do with Su Zhi. No, you can say it has something to do with it! Who made her our daughter now!"

"Lotus, what are you talking about?"

"That's right, what do you mean by having nothing to do with Su Zhi and yet having something to do with her? Is there any connection?"

Zhao Yuanbao and his wife were both stunned, but thinking that it was related to money, they listened patiently. However, in their opinion, if it was not related to Su Zhi, where could they get the money? If their family had any connections, wouldn't they have made a fortune long ago?

Zhao Yang glared at Lianhua again, thinking that she was really talkative. But at least she didn't tell the truth, otherwise she would have nothing to say. Such a happy thing, of course she should say it.

"I found your elder sister! Lianhua and I met your elder sister at the market today."

Zhang and Zhao Yuanbao were stunned, and it took them a few seconds to react. They had been interacting more with Su Zhi in recent days. Although they knew clearly that Su Zhi was not the Zhao Xiaomei of their Zhao family, they wanted to gain benefits from Su Zhi, and in order to feel at ease, they told themselves from the bottom of their hearts that this was their Zhao Xiaomei. Gradually, they even regarded Su Zhi as Zhao Xiaomei. Suddenly, they heard that the real Zhao Xiaomei had been found, and they were a little confused.

Zhao Yuanbao said, "Mom, are you saying that my little sister has been found?"

Zhao Yang nodded and said, "Yes, we met at the market and talked. Although we didn't recognize each other, she is my little sister. Su Zhi was also there at the time, so we couldn't recognize her. But from her eyes, I could tell that she was asking me not to reveal her identity. She is our little sister! This damn girl, she was so close to me, but she didn't even bother to send a message home. What a cruel damn girl!"

As Zhao Yang spoke, she started to curse again, especially when she thought of her eldest daughter's luxurious attire, which really dazzled her. She felt so angry that her daughter was living such a good life but she didn't even think of bringing her any benefits.

Zhao Yuanbao confirmed it, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly asked: "How is my little sister now? Is she doing well? Does she live in the town or somewhere else?"

Zhang thought that since Zhao Xiaomei was a girl and she was away from home, she must have married. But who did she marry? She didn't even come home when she lived so close to home. She must have known that her family had found Su Zhi to marry into the Shen family for her, right?

"Mom, my sister is married now, right?"

"Yes. This girl got married, and she married well! If she didn't live well, I wouldn't be angry. It's because she married so well that I want to strangle her! She married so well, but she didn't say a word. She was really cruel when she saw her family living a hard life. I'll beat her up when we meet!"

Zhao Yang scolded Zhao Xiaomei again. She loved Zhao Xiaomei very much, otherwise she would not have visited her once a year when she was in the nunnery. Each visit was a lot of money. It would not have been a big deal if they did not go, but they went anyway, because they loved this girl. But this girl treated them so badly. She disappeared after she came out of the nunnery. She was not afraid that they would worry, and she even asked them to find a substitute for her to prevent the Shen family's engagement. What an unfilial daughter!

Zhao Yuanbao and Zhang looked at each other, both of them were delighted. They thought that if Zhao Xiaomei married well, it would be a good thing for them!

Zhao Yuanbao persuaded Zhao Yang, saying, "Mother, my younger sister must have had some unavoidable circumstances and that's why she didn't send you a message. Don't be angry. Now that we've found her, just ask her when you see her."

Zhang also said, "Mother, I think the eldest sister is hiding because she has found a good family and she is engaged. She is afraid that this will affect her. You should not blame her. Now that she has been found, we should be happy. Family reunion is more important than anything else!"

Old man Zhao, who had been silent all the time, also echoed at this time. He had always treated all his children the same, no matter if they were sons or daughters, he only wanted his family to live a good life. Now the eldest daughter was found, she did not lose her life, and she did not live a bad life. Although she became a concubine of someone else, she was the concubine of the rich man Zhang's son, and the most favored one. He was relieved.

After hearing what Zhang said, all the Zhao family members nodded.

"Mom, how well is my little sister doing now? When can we see her?"

Zhang asked again. She was curious about what a good family Zhao Xiaomei married into. She had never met this sister-in-law, but because her parents-in-law would travel a long way to see her every year and said that she was beautiful and smart, she thought it was no wonder that her parents-in-law cared so much about their daughter. Later, this sister-in-law disappeared. She was still very dissatisfied with her in her heart, thinking that she had really caused trouble for the family. It was not until Su Zhi appeared and solved the family's troubles that she was not so angry. However, she did not expect that this sister-in-law was actually found now, and she was living a good life, which really surprised her. She thought that this was her real sister-in-law after all, and she must get more benefits from her. Now that she had a son, she could not lose face.

Lotus interrupted and said, "My sister is living a good life now! She wears silk clothes and gold and silver jewelry, just like a fairy! Humph, that Su Zhi can't compare to her! Look at her, she is so proud, how can she compare to my own sister? If she doesn't buy me good things, I ask my sister to buy them for me!"

Lianhua was very angry that Su Zhi refused to buy her some rice. Now that she saw Zhao Xiaomei, she felt like she had finally found an outlet to vent her anger.

Zhao Yang patted the lotus and said, "You can only say this at home, don't say it outside, especially in front of Su Zhi. She is still your sister now! Humph, she married Shen Zian just because she got your sister's marriage, and she has a good life now. We have to get enough from her. Be careful in front of her in the future, don't let anything slip!"

Lianhua nodded. She was happy to have two elder sisters to provide her with money.

"Mom, please tell me! Where is my little sister now?!"

Zhao Yuanbao became anxious and asked his mother loudly, which ended up waking up his son.

The baby was not big, but he cried very loudly, making several people frown. Zhang glared at Zhao Yuanbao and quickly started to coax him, and finally he calmed down.

Zhao Yang did not keep the secret and told the story that Zhao Xiaomei was now the concubine of Mr. Zhang's son. As she spoke, her face showed joy and pride.

Zhao Yuanbao and Zhang were both surprised and happy. Although they were from the countryside, they had heard about the Zhang family when they went to the town. They naturally knew that there were many women in the backyard of Young Master Zhang, but the most favored one was Aunt Yue. When they were chatting, they also talked about whose daughter was so capable that she could capture Young Master Zhang. They thought she had fallen into a jack of all trades, but they didn't expect that it was their daughter!

The whole family is very happy.

"Mom, now I understand. My sister definitely doesn't want to marry into the Shen family. She wants to marry Master Zhang. But because of this engagement, she's afraid that Master Zhang might have some ideas, so she kept it a secret. Since my sister doesn't trust us now, she must be afraid of being discovered. So when we meet her, we should do it quietly! Don't ruin my sister's good fortune. Anyway, Su Zhi is here now. We can just interact with my sister in private."

As Zhang said this, she thought that Su Zhi was living a good life now, and it would be a pity if she left Su Zhi for Zhao Xiaomei.

Old man Zhao said, "Yes, yes, Su Zhi is also a good girl, we can just treat her as our daughter."

Zhao Yang rolled her eyes and said, "You guys think I'm stupid! Of course I can't expose it. If I want to expose it, I have to see the situation on my little sister's side."

The Zhao family had a simple idea. Zhao Xiaomei didn't want to expose the truth and wanted to continue living like this, so they could have an affair with both girls, one openly and one secretly, to get the best of both worlds. If they wanted to expose the truth, it would be easy. They could say that Su Zhi was ill and it was hard to tell if she was their daughter, so they mistook her for Zhao Xiaomei. When her face got better, they couldn't bear to part with her. Seeing that Su Zhi didn't remember anything, they didn't want her to be alone and didn't want to hurt her, so they said nothing. Anyway, no matter what they said, people wouldn't say they were wrong.

The Zhao family gathered together and talked for a long time. They were very happy. Finally, they agreed to find a way to meet Zhao Xiaomei the next day.

The whole family was full of energy as they thought that the white silver was about to fly back.

When Lianhua dreamed at night, she dreamed of many clothes and jewelry flying around her. She dreamed that she was wearing beautiful and noble clothes like her sister Aunt Yue, and Su Zhi was not even as good as the green leaves that set off the red flowers in front of her. She was eclipsed. Not only did her husband Shen Zian dislike her, but everyone around her disliked her and liked her instead. But she turned around and walked away with her head held high with pride, towards a big house.

Su Zhi had no idea that she was being plotted against. She finished telling stories to the three children, looked at their sweet sleeping faces, gave each of them a goodnight kiss, and then returned to her room. She looked at Shen Zian, and the two smiled at each other, full of warmth. (
