After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan Yujuan only realized it belatedly!

This morning, when she was browsing Li Jiaojiao's WeChat Moments, she saw two familiar profile pictures liking each post.

She was so excited at the time that her mind went blank, and she didn't think much about it.

It wasn't until she saw her sister-in-law that she suddenly realized:

Those two familiar profile pictures that liked the post were her friends, which is why she was able to see them.

One of them was her husband, Liu Zhiyuan, and the other was her sister-in-law, Liu Zhifang!

"What do you mean?" Mother-in-law Tian Xiuhua was a little confused, and her heart began to panic.

"My Zhiyuan is a good boy; he would never do anything improper outside!"

"Where did you hear these rumors? I'll tear her mouth apart!"

As Tian Xiuhua spoke, she frantically winked at her sister-in-law, forcibly pulling her aside.

Lan Yujuan said coldly, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your son!"

After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room.

She returned to her room and locked the door. As she inserted a SIM card into her old phone, she reconsidered the day's events.

Judging from her mother-in-law and sister-in-law's reactions, they did indeed intend to take her phone.

Based on the mother-in-law's usual style and the conversation between the two just now, they probably planned to wait until the sister-in-law returned to the provincial capital before taking action.

By the time she realized what was happening, Liu Zhifang had already taken her new phone and gone back to work in the provincial capital.

By then, even if she finds out the truth, it will be too late!

But neither the mother nor the daughter expected that before they could even make a move, someone else would strike first.

So, it's possible that someone took her phone; there were only two people left at home.

This new phone is her personal property. She doesn't want to use a process of elimination; she wants to catch them all at once!

So, after inserting the phone card, she immediately called the police. A case can be filed if the stolen items are valued at over 3000 yuan.

After reporting the incident to the police, Lan Yujuan tidied up the things she had taken back from her sister-in-law in the room.

Then I prepared to go out and pick up my daughter.

To her surprise, just as she opened the door, she bumped into her brother-in-law sneaking back through the back door.

My brother-in-law had dark circles under his eyes and his eyes were bloodshot; it was obvious he had stayed up all night.

"Sister-in-law!" the younger brother-in-law called out nervously, "Shh~, don't tell her I'm going home!"

After saying this, without waiting for Lan Yujuan's reply, he quickly returned to his room and closed the door.

Upon seeing this, Lan Yujuan knew that the other party must have done something wrong outside, which was why they had come back to hide.

But this also proves that her brother-in-law had nothing to do with her losing her phone.

The other person must have been out all night and just got home, and probably had no idea that their phone was lost.

Therefore, the only person in the family most likely to have taken her phone is her father-in-law, Liu Defu.

In the past, Lan Yujuan would have subconsciously thought that her father-in-law was the least likely person to be the one.

But after what happened to Widow Zhang, she realized that she really couldn't judge people accurately.

Often, the person who seems least likely to be the one becomes the one with the highest probability!

Lan Yujuan ignored her brother-in-law and walked straight outside.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw my mother-in-law standing in the corner, pouring out her grievances to Liu Meiling's mother-in-law while wiping away tears.

"I said from the beginning that a woman who would abandon her own parents for a man is too heartless and definitely shouldn't be married!"

"But my Zhiyuan was bewitched by her and insisted on marrying her no matter what."

"I'd rather suffer alone in another city than leave my wife in our hometown to be supported and cared for, so I can enjoy a peaceful and comfortable life!"

"Who would have thought that this woman was no good at all, and had such a vicious heart!"

"You didn't see it just now. In broad daylight, she closed the gate, grabbed an axe, and started ransacking the house and slapping people. She's just taking advantage of my Zhifang's honesty..."

Liu Meiling's mother-in-law couldn't help but advise, "In that case, why don't you let Zhiyuan divorce her and remarry?"

"Since we didn't have a son anyway, we'll just marry someone obedient who will take good care of you two!"

"What's the use of a high level of education or being beautiful? Once the lights are off at night, everyone looks the same!"

"It would be better to marry someone hardworking, family-oriented, and good at managing a household!"

"Speaking of which, I have a niece on my mother's side. She's been thrifty and filial since she was little, and you can tell at a glance that she knows how to manage a household! She just turned 20 this year..."

"Or, why don't you find some time to meet him discreetly?"

Tian Xiuhua, who was wiping away tears, paused upon hearing this, somewhat tempted yet hesitant: "I'm afraid... this isn't quite appropriate, is it?"

"My Zhigang only likes pretty girls! Besides, the woman is pregnant now, what if she's carrying a grandson..."

"Tsk!" Liu Meiling's mother-in-law immediately interrupted, "Who was talking about the second child?"

"I'm talking about your family's eldest son who works in Beijing! Liu Zhiyuan!"

"Your second daughter has no education, no good job, and she's unreliable! Who would want a decent girl from a respectable family?"

I have to say, the truth is harsh.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiuhua's face immediately fell. "You can't say that."

"My second child does have some good points!"

Liu Meiling's mother-in-law raised an eyebrow. "Advantages? What advantages? Our two families know each other inside and out; I watched them grow up. How could I not know?"

Tian Xiuhua pouted, unconvinced, and said, "Although my Zhigang isn't very successful, he's the most filial son in the whole family!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Meiling's mother-in-law was speechless. "You can only fool yourself with that!"

As the two were talking, they looked up and saw Lan Yujuan walking towards them.

Liu Meiling's mother-in-law was startled and her face immediately changed.

Lan Yujuan said indifferently, "It's nothing, you guys continue chatting, I was just passing by."

Liu Meiling's mother-in-law was extremely embarrassed, forcing a smile. "Yujuan, don't take it to heart, I was just joking!"

Lan Yujuan paused for a moment, then said with a half-smile, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm very easygoing and definitely won't take it to heart."

"However, Liu Zhiyuan and I are not divorced yet, and he's keeping another woman on the side. If you introduce your niece from your own family to us... are you hoping to have a mahjong game during the New Year?"

Before the other person could react, Lan Yujuan continued leisurely, "But it's alright!"

"You've watched Liu Zhiyuan grow up since he was a child, you know him best. He's always been smart and reliable! He only dates and has children, he'll never get a marriage certificate."

Lan Yujuan left after saying those words, leaving Liu Meiling's mother-in-law standing there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

"What do you mean? Your Liu Zhiyuan seems like a very honest person, but he's actually keeping a mistress on the side?"

Tian Xiuhua panicked and quickly tried to distance herself, saying, "Don't listen to her nonsense, it's completely untrue!"

"I think she's lost her mind, she's mentally ill!"

Lan Yujuan didn't say anything more, too lazy to argue.

She knew very well that if she spread the word, it would spread throughout Xiahe Village and even further in less than a day.

Moreover, she spotted several unfamiliar "gangsters" in the distance, burly and imposing, riding motorcycles and speeding towards the Liu family's house...
