Chapter 319 Is there still hope?



After lunch, Yang went home, and Zhao didn't give her anything to take back with her.

The Mo family saw Yang off at the gate and noticed that it was quite lively outside. They were puzzled. Under the bright sun, why didn't these people feel hot and relaxed and had the leisure to come out and chat?

Old Mo wandered over, listened for a while, and then came back to tell the others that the village police had come.

The others were surprised. Who in the village had committed a crime? Why had the police been called?

Old Mo sighed, "I heard that the families involved in Zhao Jinhua's abduction of village girls have been summoned for questioning. We don't know how things are going yet! Rumor has it that the police are going to investigate thoroughly, and if the evidence is conclusive, Zhao Jinhua will definitely be in deep trouble!"

The others scoffed, "They've done all sorts of bad things, they deserve what they got!"

If they don't drag them out and give them a good beating, or parade them through the streets as a public spectacle, that's not considered a punishment!

It's one thing for her to fall into depravity, but who can control her?

They even went so far as to drag the village girls into this mess!

It really is true that it's easier to get things done when you know someone!

Look, they all specifically target acquaintances!

There's nothing we can do about it; who would believe someone we don't know?

The Mo family listened, gave Zhao Jinhua a good scolding, and then moved on.

The outcome is still pending, so their anger is useless!

"SuSu, why is someone suddenly investigating that flower? We haven't even started our plan yet! Who did this?"

Gao Yuling leaned closer and whispered to Su Nanxi.

Su Nanxi rolled her eyes, looking completely clueless. "Who knows? Maybe Zhao Jinhua did too many bad things and offended someone, who couldn't stand it and exposed her!"

Gao Yuling thought it made sense, and it wasn't impossible. That would save them the trouble of taking action. They could just watch the show and add fuel to the fire if necessary!

Su Nanxi glanced at Gao Yuling discreetly, and seeing that she believed her, she didn't say anything more.

Good things are yet to come for Zhao Jinhua!

Out of consideration for his reputation and status, Jin Chenglong will definitely try to protect Zhao Jinhua and mediate to help her get out of trouble. However, it's hard to say whether he will explode later when he learns some important information!

Hehe! I'm actually kind of looking forward to it!

Seeing that everyone had left, Zhao deliberately stayed behind to chat with Su Nanxi.

Su Nanxi wasn't stupid; she naturally understood that Zhao wanted to talk to her alone, so she sat back down instead of leaving.

Zhao seemed to be struggling with her inner turmoil and hesitated for a long time before finally saying, as if constipated, "Mute Mother, do you think there is any hope for our Zhao family?"

Su Nanxi was getting bored waiting for Zhao to speak first, so she poured herself some tea and sipped it slowly. Suddenly, she was taken aback by Zhao's question.

She's not a member of the Zhao family, so she doesn't know the details and how would she know if there's any hope of saving her?

How was she supposed to respond to that?

Isn't this just making things difficult for her?

Zhao bit her lip and lowered her eyes. She knew she was putting Su Nanxi in a difficult position, but she still wanted to hear Su Nanxi's opinion. She felt that although Su Nanxi didn't like to get involved in things, she could see things very clearly!

If Su Nanxi knew what she was thinking, she would definitely jump aside. Don't flatter her, or you'll fall and hurt yourself!

"Mute Mother, I just want to hear your opinion. Say whatever you want, I will never complain! I know my family very well, but I can't bear to see them decline!"

Zhao's face was full of vicissitudes and helplessness, and her tone revealed utter despair and resentment!

Su Nanxi thought for a moment, then turned her head to the side. "You really want me to tell you? But you can't scold me after I do!"

"No, no! How could I possibly scold you!" Zhao shook her head; she was more than grateful!

After a moment's thought, Su Nanxi said to Zhao Shi in a somewhat somber tone, "There's still hope for your family. Just change the troublemaker!"

This was exactly what Zhao had thought, so she didn't react much, only gave a wry smile. It turned out she wasn't the only one who thought this way!

She certainly knew what a troublemaker was!

She had hinted at this to her mother, but she hadn't said it outright. She didn't understand what her mother really wanted, and she guessed that her mother was also very conflicted!

Replacing someone isn't as simple as just saying it. After all, they've lived in the Zhao family for over ten years and have several children together. As the villagers often say, even if they haven't made any great contributions, they've certainly put in some hard work!

If the person in charge is changed, what will happen to those children? With children involved, can the matter be clearly resolved?

Another problem is that remarrying is difficult!

There's no other reason than that the Zhao family is very poor!

And they're even getting poorer!

They're barely making ends meet, where would they find the money to marry another woman?

These days, you can get married without a wedding banquet, but a bride price is still a must!

These are the reasons why the Zhao family disliked the Luo and Liu families, yet had no choice but to compromise!

If the Zhao family had even a little bit of money back then, they probably wouldn't have been able to marry a wife like that!

Before they got married, Luo and Liu were not good at managing their households, and their families also demanded high dowries, so most families were unwilling to marry them!

As the couple grew older and lost their advantages, they lowered their demands. After searching everywhere for a husband's family without success, they finally reduced the bride price to the minimum before finally marrying her off!

The Zhao brothers didn't have money to get married, which was perfect since the bride price they were asking for wasn't much either, and they could barely scrape together the money. It didn't matter who they married, so they might as well go ahead and get married!

Bringing them in only made things harder for the Zhao family. There was nothing else to it but that these two were very cunning and calculating. They never asked anyone to do the housework; someone would always volunteer to do it!

Before Zhao Shi got married, she did the most work!

The two sisters-in-law tried various ways to make her do the work, and Zhao endured it for the sake of her brothers.

But if you put up with it, then it'll all be your problem from now on!

You're here to work. If you ever try to rebel, you're not getting a chance!

Zhao's forbearance and concessions emboldened her two sisters-in-law, who became increasingly demanding. There was no way around it; everyone wanted to pick on the weakest link!

Seeing that Zhao was doing better and better, but never helping them out, the two felt unbalanced and resentful. That's why they dared to direct and act in their own drama!

Zhao's idea was good; for the sake of her elder brothers and parents, she didn't care about so many things, after all, her sisters-in-law were the ones who would accompany her family for the rest of their lives!

But she underestimated human nature!

Su Nanxi didn't know much about the Zhao family's affairs, but she could deduce some things. Seeing Zhao Shi sighing with her head down, she couldn't help but stab Zhao Shi in the back, "Second sister-in-law, you were actually a culprit too! You're too considerate of them. You always indulged and tolerated them in the past, and they got used to it. Now that you're not helping them live a good life, who else would they hate if not you!"

Zhao looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with astonishment. How could she be wrong too!

After thinking about it, it seems to make sense!

Zhao laughed when she thought about it. It was true; she couldn't help her family get rich!

But when has she ever stopped wanting to help her family?

We would call on them whenever there was a business opportunity, but they didn't take it seriously. They thought that no one had ever done it before, so how could it succeed? We were using them as guinea pigs!

Look how many opportunities to make money have been missed!

Look at my sister-in-law's family, the Qin family; their rice noodles are getting better and better, and their business is growing bigger and bigger!

Not making money?
