Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 528: Revenge from Jiang Yexun

Jiang Yexun made hot water and gently cleaned up his little wife.

Only then did he wrap her up along with the blanket.

The porridge in the thermos was still warm, and with fried dough sticks, Jiang Yexun fed her bit by bit.

Su Xiaoxiao, feeling both sleepy and hungry, closed her eyes as she ate. By the time she had finished, Jiang Yexun gently carried her to bed.

When he returned this morning, he bought a newspaper on the way.

Jiang Yexun thought that his little wife was a capable person, so he naturally didn’t want to be the one holding her back.

However, while Jiang Yexun and Su Xiaoxiao were living a peaceful and quiet life, the Zhang family’s compound was on the verge of exploding.

Grandpa Zhang hung up the phone, his already serious face turned completely dark.

This made Zhang Xiyue, who was sitting on the sofa and acting coquettishly with Grandma Wang to get more pocket money, immediately want to stand up and leave.

"Stop!" Grandpa Zhang called out to her.

"Grandpa, what’s wrong?" Zhang Xiyue asked, shrinking her neck, a bit afraid.

It felt like there was trouble everywhere at home, and none of it was good news.

She just hoped to live a peaceful life and avoid getting tangled up in any of the bizarre issues.

"Be honest with me. Do you know what your brother has been up to lately?" Grandpa Zhang questioned her coldly.

Zhang Xiyue quickly shook her head like a rattle drum, "I don’t know! Since you told me to send him to the border, he’s been in a bad mood. I don’t dare to provoke him; I’m afraid I’ll make him angry. My mom also told me not to ask about my brother."

"Have you noticed anything unusual?" Grandpa Zhang doubted his granddaughter’s words, his suspicion growing.

Zhang Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "I just feel like both Mom and my brother have been in a bad mood, and if you say more than a few words, they’ll snap. That’s about it."

Grandpa Zhang saw she wasn’t lying and took a deep breath in frustration.

Grandma Wang, seeing him this way, immediately asked anxiously, "Old man, what did that phone call say?"

"The police station called. They said Hanyu has been arrested." Grandpa Zhang looked as though he had aged ten years in an instant.

Zhang Xiyue immediately screamed in panic, "Impossible! How could my brother be arrested!"

Her mother’s arrest hadn’t even been made public yet, but it surely wouldn’t be able to stay hidden for long.

If it followed with news of her brother’s arrest, what would the people outside think of her, of the Zhang family?

"What do you mean ’impossible’? Your brother hasn’t been going to school lately. Don’t you know that at school? Last night, he stormed off angrily and didn’t come back until morning—what could he possibly be doing?" Grandpa Zhang said furiously.

Hearing this, Grandma Wang’s legs went soft.

"Old... old man, could Hanyu have been arrested for being involved in a gang?" she asked tremblingly.

Though she thought her grandson was disappointing, Grandma Wang still didn’t want him to commit a crime that could lead to his death.

Zhang Xiyue, standing beside them, turned completely pale.

"Impossible! My brother would never do such a disgraceful thing!" she denied vehemently.

These days, the most disgraceful crime was being a thug or a gangster.

If her brother had really committed such a crime, she wouldn’t be able to live with herself.

"It’s not that." Grandpa Zhang said as he propped himself up from the sofa.

Grandma Wang and Zhang Xiyue both secretly let out a breath of relief, but then they heard him continue, "He’s been arrested for illegal gambling, and it looks like it’s going to be serious. We need to head to the police station right now and find out the details."

Grandma Wang’s heart dropped again with a thud.

Gambling was already a serious crime, and illegal gambling with others could lead to at least ten years in prison.

In the worst case, they could even face execution.

Zhang Xiyue sat on the sofa, her hands tightly gripping her clothes, unable to even stand up.

Grandma Wang stood up, but then dropped her head and began to sob uncontrollably, "We should have checked what Hanyu was up to! When he ran away yesterday out of anger, we should have stopped him. Xiaoxiao even warned us, so why didn’t we take it seriously?"

Seeing his wife crying so sadly, Grandpa Zhang reached out and hugged her, "Alright, don’t blame yourself too much. Hanyu made a mistake, and now he has to face this disaster in his life."

But as soon as Zhang Xiyue calmed down and heard this, her eyes widened in fury.

"It must have been Su Xiaoxiao who reported him! Otherwise, how could my brother get arrested right after they just warned you?" she gritted her teeth and said.

Grandpa Zhang glared at her and snapped, "Stop talking nonsense! If Xiaoxiao really wanted to report him, why would she warn us first? She would have reported it long ago."

"She only warned us to get in her good graces, but after what happened to my mom, they’re just getting back at us. My mom has already been arrested, and they can’t do anything about her, so they went after my brother." Zhang Xiyue countered.

Her analysis was indeed on point, but unfortunately, neither Grandpa Zhang nor Grandma Wang believed her.

"Don’t blame the heavens and the earth every time something happens in your family. Was there a gun pointed at your mother’s head, forcing her to frame Xiaoxiao? Was there someone pointing a gun at your brother, forcing him to gamble or leave the house?" Grandpa Zhang snapped, dragging Grandma Wang toward the door.

Zhang Xiyue stood there, her face pale, for several seconds, then hurriedly followed them.

She wasn’t particularly eager to go to the police station, but since her mother was in trouble yesterday and she didn’t go to see what was happening, Grandpa and Grandma were already disappointed in her.

Zhang Xiyue feared that if she didn’t follow them, her only two remaining supporters in the Zhang family might give up on her, so she gritted her teeth and went along.

The car quickly arrived at the police station, and it turned out to be the same station.

When the officers saw Grandpa Zhang get out of the car, their expressions twitched as they didn’t know how to comfort the former leader.

Seeing their troubled expressions, Grandpa Zhang immediately understood that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.

"Can you at least tell me what’s going on?" Grandpa Zhang asked after arriving, not in a rush to see his troubled grandson, but rather wanting to confirm the nature and severity of the case.

The officers looked at each other before finally pushing the head of the department forward to face the wrath.

"We arrested thirty-seven people this time and seized 160,000 yuan in gambling funds. The underground casino was also offering illegal home loans with astronomical interest rates, as high as government bond yields," the head of the department said, his voice tense as he recounted the case.

"Are you saying my grandson is one of the people running this casino?"

That suggestion made Grandpa Zhang’s face turn even darker.

The head of the department quickly shook his head, "No, he was involved in gambling and borrowing money."

Grandpa Zhang, seeing the man hesitate, immediately felt something was off.

"What else is there?"

"Well, here’s what we found. From the casino’s records, we found that your grandson borrowed about two thousand yuan every few days. In a week, he would lose nearly four thousand, but he always paid back on time. In just three months, he’s lost almost 60,000 yuan," the head of the department said, his brows furrowing.

"What? Sixty thousand?!" Grandma Wang’s legs went weak, and she immediately started to fall.

Everyone rushed to help her, but they were too far away. In the end, it was Zhang Xiyue who managed to catch her.

"Grandma, don’t get too anxious. Brother won’t be sentenced too harshly. Maybe he was just tricked into it," Zhang Xiyue said, trying to comfort her gently.

But the moment she heard that Zhang Hanyu had lost 60,000 yuan in three months, while she didn’t even have 6,000 of her own private savings, she was furious.

Sure enough, Grandpa and Grandma always favored the boys, while pretending that boys and girls were treated equally.

If they were treated equally, why didn’t they give her 60,000 yuan?
