"What did she do?!"
Zhou Yuzhu's voice involuntarily rose, completely disregarding everything else, she was furious and accused He Shi of her actions.
"She's seen too much of the town's prosperity, and her mind has become wild! She's nominally taking care of the children, but she really only takes care of her own child. She doesn't care about anything else. She doesn't even help look after her second sister-in-law's children. Her second sister-in-law has three children and does housework, and she's too busy to manage! Meanwhile, she's leisurely strolling around with her son in her arms!"
"My older brother probably secretly gave her money, and she spent it all before coming back! I heard she traveled and ate her way through the whole trip, the mother and son were really living it up! They came back with nothing! When they got back, they said taking care of the child was really tiring! If it were just occasionally, we wouldn't say anything, but it was frequent, and later it became every day! If my older brother hadn't suddenly lost his temper, we wouldn't have known what was going on! We're working ourselves to the bone, while she's having a blast every day!"
"That's not all! She went out a lot and made some so-called friends. If they were all women, it would be normal for them to get together and chat about family matters and childcare. But, Third Cousin-in-law, do you know what kind of people she's been associating with? Men! Doesn't she know she's a married woman? Doesn't she know she should avoid suspicion? She was chatting and laughing with them, and people who didn't know better would think they were her relatives! We only found out about this later because people were talking about her!"
"My older brother gave her a severe scolding, and she calmed down a bit after that. But she started again soon after! She often went out on the street, and her family recognized her. She generously treated them to a big meal! Now, her family thought she had struck it rich and started asking her for money! And she gave it to them!"
She kept asking for more and more money, but my older brother stopped giving her any, and she ran out of money too. Her family pressured her, so she turned her attention to her child, saying the child was sick and needed money for medical treatment! My older brother couldn't refuse, and he even gave her extra, knowing that medical care in town was expensive and worried that it wouldn't be enough and would delay the child's treatment. But the money immediately ended up in her family's hands!
"After a few times, my older brother found out and stopped giving her money! My grandparents couldn't stand it and said that if the child was unwell in the future, they would take her to see a doctor and that person wouldn't need to go! If my grandparents were a few years younger, they would never have been so arrogant! They would have just taken the child and sent her to work to earn money! She doesn't know anything and doesn't want to do anything. We never realized she was such a lazy and calculating person!"
Su Nanxi felt a pang of emotion upon hearing this; He Shi was truly a capable woman!
So capable, but I wonder what they rely on?
I didn't do it before because I didn't have the opportunity. Now that I have the opportunity, how can I feel comfortable if I don't do it!
With a son by my side, I'm always busy, isn't that the reason?
The Zhou family is no longer a wealthy family. They have a large family to support, and money is always at stake. They have no sense of superiority whatsoever. I don't know where He Shi gets such arrogance, confidence, and courage!
Do you really think the Zhou family can't do anything to her? Have you all forgotten that if the Zhou family were rich, she wouldn't have contributed anything? If the Zhou family were rich, they could just replace her with a different daughter-in-law!
Why have someone like that causing trouble at home? There's no peace in the house!
However, Su Nanxi only thought these words to herself and didn't say them to Zhou Yuzhu.
But it was clear that Zhou Yuzhu wasn't brainless. She said angrily, "If she keeps being so arrogant, she won't get away with it. If my mother gets really angry, she might just find another sister-in-law for my older brother! Does she really think she's the only one who can't be taken? Bah!"
Su Nanxi didn't know how to respond, so she casually said, "Just let your mother take care of the child and let her go to work!"
Zhou Yuzhu rolled her eyes and snorted, "She thinks she's raising the child very well, and that it's not good for the child if someone else takes care of him, because the child won't adapt and will get sick! To put it bluntly, she just thinks my mother isn't a good parent, so she can use her son to do whatever she wants!"
Then I don't know what to say!
This kind of person probably had their personality suppressed before, but now that it's been released, it'll be quite difficult for them to change. They'll probably cause trouble again in the future!
"How did your sister-in-law end up marrying into your family?" Su Nanxi suddenly asked curiously.
She always felt that something was vaguely off.
Zhou Yuzhu sighed, "Alas! Our family used to be very poor. It wasn't easy to find a wife. Good girls didn't want to marry into our family, and my older brother didn't want the really bad ones either. In the end, I don't know how, my older brother met He Shi and became obsessed with her! He Shi's family was also very poor, so they didn't pay much attention to social status at the time. I guess they thought it was a good match. They didn't have a big banquet, and they just chose an auspicious day to bring her home!"
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong!
Is she overthinking it?
I heard the child was conceived several years later, so it shouldn't be what she thought!
Never mind, she must be overthinking it!
After offering a few words of comfort to Zhou Yuzhu, she was called back.
It's already very lenient that we chatted for so long during work hours!
After Zhou Yuzhu went inside, Su Nanxi also turned and left.
As soon as she returned to the inn, Xiao Han rushed over and told her some bad news!
The man ran away with his entourage!
They probably knew someone was watching them, so they used a feint to slip away right under Xiao Han's nose!
Xiao Han was certain that he had been watching very carefully, but he still failed to keep an eye on them and they escaped without him noticing. This meant that the three of them must have disguised themselves and managed to deceive Xiao Han!
Su Nanxi sighed deeply, "Alas, what should I say?"
Should we commend those three for their cunning and intelligence?
They should still be scolded. They went too far. They took the pills, got better, and then ran away. What despicable behavior!
These are not the most important things. The important thing is that Su Nanxi has not yet gotten the answer she wants to know!
These three people were like eels, slippery and unpredictable. They used all the information they could find casually and never mentioned their real identities!
They won't reveal a single detail!
That's infuriating!
Su Nanxi thought she would get the answer tonight and solve the mystery in her heart!
As it turned out, they miscalculated!
The person fled, and cleaned up the mess so thoroughly that no clues were left behind!
That's right, they can't reveal it in the first place, otherwise if their enemies find any clues, it could cost them their lives!
People aren't stupid!
That's the only way I can comfort myself!
They've all run away, and we don't know where to chase them. What else can we do?
If fate allows, we will meet again in the future!
I hope they're not enemies!
Otherwise, all those good things of hers would be wasted!
Su Nanxi also comforted Xiao Han, telling him not to blame himself so much. If someone wants to run away, there are always thousands of ways to run away, and it's impossible to defend against them!
Everyone has moments of dozing off; how can you be on guard all the time?
Xiao Han felt a little better when he saw that Su Nanxi didn't blame him, but he also learned a lesson from it!
