Farmer girl swaps husbands: buys a sickly villain and pampers him

Chapter 212 Find out
In the study, Su Yaoguang was checking the accounts, the abacus clattering loudly.

Zhou Wangshu placed a small booklet in front of her and said, "You've done what you asked me to do."

Su Yaoguang was overjoyed. She stopped what she was doing, picked up the booklet, and looked at it, saying, "You found the address of Mingye Hall?"

When she saw the contents of the booklet, her eyes were filled with surprise, and she looked up in Zhou Wangshu's direction.

Zhou Wangshu moved the abacus away from her, then shifted the ledger, and continued calculating the parts she hadn't finished earlier, fiddling with the abacus faster than she could.

"I thought you found the address of Mingye Hall, but it turns out you've found out all about Sister Chun'e's ungrateful husband. That's too fast!"

"It's not that I'm fast, it's that Mingyetang is very fast."

"How much did this information cost?"

“Fifty taels,” Zhou Wangshu said. “That man named Zhu Kesheng is a bodyguard. To find out about his affairs, we need to go to other places to investigate, which will cost a bit more.”

"This information is worth the price." Su Yaoguang's eyes were full of joy as she finished reading the entire contents. "Ask your classmate if he can give you Mingye Hall's contact information. If we need to buy important information or clues again in the future, we can talk to the people at Mingye Hall directly."

"Don't worry, I've met the people from Mingye Hall and I know how to contact them. We can talk directly next time."

“This Mingye Hall really has connections everywhere. In just two days, they’ve found out so much. I’ll send someone to find Sister Chun’e right away and let her know what that bastard has been doing all these years and how many properties he’s secretly amassed.”

Just as Su Yaoguang stood up, she heard a waiter's voice from outside the door announcing, "Boss, Boss Chun'e has arrived."

Su Yaoguang was surprised and looked at Zhou Wangshu.

After going through all the accounts and getting to the last number in the ledger, Zhou Wangshu said, "I sent someone to invite her over. I thought you would discuss countermeasures with her after seeing the news, so I had the shop assistant invite her over."

Su Yaoguang touched Zhou Wangshu's ear: "Wangshu, are you a tapeworm in my stomach?"

Zhou Wangshu shuddered.

His ears were a sensitive spot, and her sudden touch made him feel as if he had been struck by lightning, even his breathing became much heavier.

"I know you two are in love, but you don't need to flaunt your affection in front of someone as down on their luck as me, do you?" Chun'e pushed open the door and looked at the golden couple in front of her, saying sourly.

"Sister Chun'e, where is that scoundrel now?" Su Yaoguang asked.

Chun'e said bitterly, "He's stopped pretending now. He's all lovey-dovey with that bitch in the house I've furnished. My mother-in-law was so happy to finally have a grandson. She's always talking about her grandson. I've become superfluous."

Zhou Wangshu knew the two had something to say, so he told Su Yaoguang that he had returned to the academy.

After Zhou Wangshu left, Chun'e came over, patted Su Yaoguang on the shoulder and said, "Wangshu is really good. You are a lucky girl."

"The world is a big place, and there are plenty of bad men as well as good men. As long as you stay away from that scoundrel, you can find someone better."

"A middle-aged woman like me doesn't expect to find a good man anymore. All I want now is to keep my money and stay away from that slut."

"Sister Chun'e, look at this information." Su Yaoguang handed the booklet in her hand to Chun'e.

Chun'e took the booklet and started reading from the first page. As she read more and more, her face grew increasingly grim, and towards the end, she was so angry that she trembled.

The entire booklet, fifty pages long, summarized all the important events the man had committed over the years. This is why Su Yaoguang said the information was worth fifty taels of silver. After all, even the man himself might not be able to remember everything he had done over the years; the Mingye Hall had managed to investigate a person so thoroughly, leaving him nowhere to hide.

"I want to divorce him immediately."

“Sister Chun’e, if you divorce him like this, you won’t get anything,” Su Yaoguang said. “All the properties he’s acquired over the years are registered under that woman’s name. Even if you find out they’re his, the deeds and property certificates aren’t in his name. What can you do about it?”

"But he committed a crime. If I don't divorce him soon, I will also be implicated once his past crimes are discovered."

“What are you afraid of? Are you more afraid than him?” Su Yaoguang said. “With so many things in front of us, the one who should be most afraid is him.”

“You’re right. What’s your plan?” Chun’e asked.

Su Yaoguang leaned closer to Chun'e and whispered a few words in her ear.

Chun'e's eyes were filled with a strange look when she heard these words.

“Girl, no wonder you can make so much money, you’re incredibly bold,” Chun’e said. “However, he’s tall and strong, and he has a few brothers who are sworn brothers. I’m worried that if I anger him, he and his brothers will be ruthless towards me, and I, a weak woman, will be no match for him.”

"My dear sister, you've earned so much money, if you don't spend it now, when will you?" Su Yaoguang patted the back of his hand. "You don't have his strong physique, nor his brothers who aid and abet evil, but you have the money to hire people!"

“Okay, I’ll go back to my parents’ home now, tell them about this, and then have a formal negotiation with that Zhu guy.”

After Chun'e left, Zhou Wangshu came over from the next room.

“Didn’t you say you were going back to the academy?” Su Yaoguang asked when she saw him.

"It's a day off today," Zhou Wangshu said, sitting down beside her. "What terrible idea did you give her?"

“I only came up with a bold and feasible idea, not a bad one.” Su Yaoguang stuffed the ledger into his hands. “Since you’re on leave, you have nothing to do, so I’ll leave these ledgers to you so you can have a chance to solidify your accounting.”

"You want to slack off, and you say it so confidently." Zhou Wangshu complained, but his actions betrayed his true feelings.

He calculated faster and more accurately than Su Yaoguang. At his speed, he only needed two hours to finish the accounts that Su Yaoguang could do in a day.

Now that he's back and has nothing to do, it's a waste not to use such a useful subordinate.

Su Yaoguang left the study, and when she returned, she was carrying a basket filled with freshly washed grapes.

She sat next to Zhou Wangshu, watching him calculate quickly and accurately, and then popped a grape into his mouth.

As Zhou Wangshu ate the chilled grapes, his movements slowed down.

"Do you think Sister Chun'e can make it happen?" Su Yaoguang asked vaguely while eating grapes.

Zhou Wangshu opened his mouth, indicating that he wanted another one.

Su Yaoguang continued to feed them.

Zhou Wangshu ate grapes and said, "She's not stupid. You've even come up with a solution for her. If it still doesn't work, then you don't need to meddle in her affairs."
