"What about her daughter with Zhao Xiaoxue's stepmother?" Su He asked after thinking for a moment.
Qi Yang shook his head. "He withdrew from the marriage. I heard that the woman even went to him and made a scene, insisting on marrying him. He and his family disagreed, and it ended up looking very ugly."
But with that stepdaughter causing such a scene, I doubt anyone else will dare marry her. I suspect she'll continue to cause trouble, since this family is now her only option.
Hu Xing laughed sarcastically, "Serves her right, she brought it on herself."
Qi Yang nodded, "Besides, even if that stepmother gets out, she won't get away with it. Before Zhao Xiaosong left, he spread the word about it all over the neighborhood. Everyone knows what kind of person she is. I bet her reputation is ruined by now."
Su He and the others were relieved after hearing this.
This stepmother is really wicked. They had experienced Liu Ying's case before, and that stepmother was even more ruthless, she directly killed the person!
It's quite a coincidence that the stepmothers in both cases used the excuse of eloping. They didn't change anything else, and yet so many people believed it. These days, it's so easy to smear a girl's reputation!
Fortunately, he was eventually exonerated.
However, they still hadn't found any clues about "Third Brother" by the time they got here.
The criminal investigation team members were somewhat disappointed, but they quickly cheered up again.
Since "Third Brother" is so good at hiding, it means this is a big fish. We have a long way to go and can't give up!
...
After Su He and the others thought it through, they stopped worrying and started dealing with the cases at hand, which kept them busy for a while.
That day, after Su He got off work, she had just entered the courtyard when she heard the Huang family arguing again.
After the incident at the Huang family, there was a brief period of peace, but once Huang Laosan's injuries healed, the peace was quickly broken again.
The main problem is that Huang Laosan does nothing at home. He just goes out for a stroll every day like an old man, and comes back to eat as soon as it's mealtime.
They ate every meal without fail, and quite a lot of food.
At first, Shi Fen disapproved and wanted him to help with some chores, or even just glue some matchboxes together; he couldn't just sit around doing nothing.
But Huang Laosan refused, saying that these were not things a man should do, and that he should just continue doing what he always did.
Unfortunately, her mother-in-law, Aunt Ren, was also there to help.
Would Spencer agree to this?
After all, they only have one worker in their whole family, and the money they earn isn't enough to live on. Huang Lao Er has just been promoted to a permanent position, and his salary isn't much. Every day when he comes home from get off work, he sighs with worry. Shi Fen feels sorry for him and gets so anxious that her lips are burning.
But the old couple and Huang Laosan continued to live their lives as usual, enjoying a leisurely existence every day.
This contrast made them seem anxious, which she naturally resented, so she got quite angry and started arguing with them frequently.
The other residents of the courtyard have had plenty of time to watch the excitement.
However, Su He saw that Huang Laosan was completely reckless, with an attitude of "whatever, do whatever you want, anyway, you can't do anything to me," which always made Shi Fen furious.
Even the people in the tenement building who saw it shook their heads.
But after all, this is their family matter, and they can only help to mediate when the Huang family is arguing too fiercely; they can't do much more than that.
The same thing happened that day. They were arguing at home. No one knew the specific reason, but they heard Shi Fen's voice was particularly loud, as if he was saying something about not having money.
It's probably about money again.
So no one paid any attention. But as evening approached and everyone was still cooking, they saw Shi Fen, with red eyes, pick up a bag and leave.
