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

Chapter 219 Weird

The matter concerning the Meng family was thus left unresolved.

Su Yaoguang thought that Zhang Yingdi and Wang Huanzhi had left in a hurry and hadn't prepared many things. Knowing that Cui Rong often went to the provincial capital to manage the branch, she made a special trip to find Cui Rong and asked him to look after the two of them in the provincial capital and also asked him to help bring some silver notes over.

Zhou Wangshu would also go to the provincial capital to check the list, but it was still a long time before the list was released, and they didn't want to go too early.

After handing over the things she needed to take to Zhang Yingdi and Wang Huanzhi to Cui Rong, she bought ten roast ducks at a roast duck shop and asked the shopkeeper to arrange for them to be delivered to Taoyaofang before heading to the workshop.

As Su Yaoguang passed by the gambling den, she saw Zhong Lanhua emerge, clutching a handkerchief and swaying her slender waist. Her face was heavily made up, she was dressed in a glamorous and alluring manner, and wore a new dress that perfectly accentuated her figure; she radiated a bright and cheerful aura. As Su Yaoguang passed by, Zhong Lanhua also saw her. She glared at her fiercely, her attitude as arrogant as ever, just like it had been a few months ago.

Since Jiang Yihui's accident, Zhong Lanhua has been somewhat mentally unstable, often displaying erratic behavior and uttering incoherent sentences. But today, she seems to be in good spirits.

It's also very festive.

She walked into the gambling den and saw Boss Zhong counting silver notes. She greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Zhong."

Mr. Zhong tucked the counted banknotes into his pocket and said with a smile, "Mr. Su, what brings you here today?"

"I just saw Zhong Lanhua. Did she come here to pay back the money?"

Boss Zhong was counting banknotes. Zhong Lanhua and he were creditor and debtor, so it's not hard to guess why Zhong Lanhua had that expression just now.

"Yes, that woman is quite capable; she paid back the money so quickly," said Boss Zhong. "We originally agreed to pay it back in a few years, but it hasn't been long, and she's already paid it back."

Su Yaoguang, of course, knew about the contract they had signed. At that time, Zhong Lanhua acted as if the sky was falling. Such a large sum of money—most people wouldn't be able to pay it off in a few years, let alone earn that much in their entire lives.

That mother and daughter really do have some tricks up their sleeves.

However, she didn't think they could earn so much silver in such a short time through normal means. Therefore, she became curious and wanted to know how they earned this silver.

As she exited the gambling den, she saw Feng Chaoyang passing by with several people. Upon seeing Feng Chaoyang, Su Yaoguang immediately perked up and called out to him from across the street.

When she first met Feng Chaoyang, he already had several young beggar brothers under his command. Now that she wanted to gather information, entrusting this task to him was the most suitable option.

Upon hearing Su Yaoguang's instructions, Feng Chaoyang immediately arranged for his beggar brothers to keep a close eye on Zhong Lanhua and her daughter, making sure to thoroughly investigate their backgrounds and see how they earned their money.

At night, Zhou Wangshu sat on the roof, his expression complicated, as if he was thinking about something.

Su Yaoguang climbed the ladder to the roof, carefully walked over, and sat down beside him.

"I've been calling you downstairs for ages, but you haven't responded at all. What are you thinking about that's so engrossed in?"

Zhou Wangshu noticed her hair was messy and tidied it up for her.

"You seem unusually excited today, did something good happen?"

"Want to watch a show?" Su Yaoguang looked at Zhou Wangshu with burning passion.

Zhou Wangshu was stung by her gaze. The slight sense of loss she had felt vanished, and the emptiness in her heart was filled once more, all thanks to just one look from her.

"Who's so unlucky as to have been targeted by you?"

“I’m such a kind person, I usually don’t make things difficult for others. There are only a few people in this world who I care about this much,” Su Yaoguang said. “Besides, some people are just reaping what they sowed. I didn’t do anything; they just made their own mess.”

"Okay, so what did that person who created this mess do?"

"Let's go, if we hurry over there now, we should be able to catch the last good show."

The Xiao residence. This house isn't large, but compared to the house in the slums, it's a detached house with no vulgar neighbors causing trouble all day long.

This is a house that Xiao Yanci rented at a high price, hence the name written on it.

Back then, Xiao Yanci's status was the same as Zhou Wangshu's—just an unappreciated live-in son-in-law. Now that Jiang Yihui is gone, only his daughter Jiang Yihuan remains. Zhong Lanhua still has to rely on this daughter and son-in-law for her old age and funeral, so she doesn't dare to be as arrogant as before. And the house that Xiao Yanci rented eventually changed to his surname.

A few days ago, when Xiao Yanci moved into his new home, he specially set off dozens of strings of firecrackers. Many people came to watch the excitement, and of course, they also knew Xiao Yanci's intention in hanging them up at the Xiao residence.

This is a turnaround. He wants everyone to know who the real head of this family is, so he will never have to put up with Jiang Yihuan and her daughter again.

It was late at night, but the Xiao residence was bustling with activity.

A large crowd had gathered at the entrance.

The door opened, and sounds of fighting and cursing came from inside.

Zhong Lanhua and Jiang Yihuan ran out from inside.

Immediately afterwards, two disheveled men also ran out from inside.

"Isn't that Manager Yang from the embroidery shop? Oh dear, why does he look like that?"

Xiao Yanci held a knife in his hand, and at that moment he swung the knife at the steward surnamed Yang.

Then look at the other man. He calmly put on his clothes and touched Zhong Lanhua's buttocks as he passed by, looking frivolous.

After he got dressed, he left through the main entrance, completely disregarding the onlookers blocking the entrance.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Zhou Wangshu covered Su Yaoguang's eyes.

Su Yaoguang pulled his hand away and watched the spectacle unfold on the other side with excitement.

Today, she sent Feng Chaoyang to investigate Jiang Yihuan and her daughter. Soon after, they brought back the most accurate information. After learning that Jiang Yihuan and Zhong Lanhua often took advantage of Xiao Yanci's absence to have sex with different men, she couldn't wait to share this interesting matter with Xiao Yanci. As a result, Xiao Yanci, who had found a quiet place to drink, was lured back and caught Jiang Yihuan and her daughter off guard.

“You two are both despicable, old and young.” Xiao Yanci pointed at Jiang Yihuan and said with disgust, “I’m going to divorce you.”

Jiang Yihuan touched her slapped cheek, defiant and looking at him with a sarcastic gaze: "What right do you have to divorce me? Even if we're going to separate, it should be me divorcing you. You, a slave, owe your current status to our family buying you and giving you the opportunity to study. But what have you done? Since I came with you, our family has never had a moment of peace. And now you're complaining about me. A grown man, unable to even support his own woman. Didn't you really like that new inkstone I gave you? That inkstone was given to me by that Manager Yang just now."
