Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 149 - 150 Conspiracy
Chapter 149: Chapter 150 Conspiracy
Xu Ying nodded, and Eldest Sister-in-law Xu’s face immediately lit up with enthusiasm. “Yingying, let’s go now. If they really harmed Shengshun, that’s just despicable.”
The Xu Family were all fiercely protective by nature, and Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was no exception. Upon hearing about seeking vengeance, she felt her blood boil, eager to find the culprits right away.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu was about to change clothes to leave when Xu Ying quickly stopped her. “Eldest sister-in-law, there’s no rush. Let’s sleep first and go in the morning.”
It was dark and difficult to travel to the county now, but her sister-in-law’s fierce vigor was indeed endearing.
Xu also chimed in from the side, “Exactly, we can’t even catch a train at night. Stop fussing and go to sleep.”
Running out in the pitch dark, what if they stumbled into trouble again? His wife and children would all suffer.
Only then did Eldest Sister-in-law Xu realize it had gotten dark and obediently went to bed.
The next morning when Xu Ying got up, she saw her sister-in-law with dark circles under her eyes, looking like a national treasure.
“Eldest sister-in-law, you didn’t stay up all night, did you?”
Xu Ying found out the truth; Eldest Sister-in-law Xu hadn’t stayed awake all night, but almost.
She tossed and turned in bed last night, unable to sleep. Just thinking about the culprits, who not only harmed Shengshun but also hit her, flared her anger.
“No, I slept a bit in the late night. Yingying, let’s set off now.”
This time Xu Ying didn’t refuse. She grabbed two pancakes and a few boiled eggs from the kitchen and was ready to leave.
Mrs. Xu didn’t stop them, just waiting for good news from her daughter. Her daughter was so smart, she might even solve the case faster than the police.
Xu Ying rode her bicycle with Eldest Sister-in-law Xu to the station and bought tickets for a train around noon.
When the two arrived at the Zhao Family home, it was exactly midday. The Zhao family was seated in the courtyard, ready to eat. Seeing the newcomers, Mother Zhao expressed surprise: “Lingzi, why have you come back again?”
It wasn’t that Mother Zhao minded her daughter visiting her maternal home often, but considering the distance, something must have happened for her to keep coming back.
“Mom, I want to go to my future sister-in-law’s house. I have some matters to discuss with her,” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu spoke up.
Mother Zhao looked puzzled, “What do you need from her?”
Zhao Shubo was also surprised; his sister had only met his fiancée once. Since when were the two of them so close that his sister would specifically come to the county to see her?
There must be some trouble.

Zhao Shubo looked solemn. “Yinghe, what’s the matter between you two?”
Then, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu explained everything from beginning to end.
At her words, Mother Zhao slammed the table, her agitation evident. “I was wondering how Cheng Yinglan suddenly found such a good job. Turns out he’s up to no good, engaging in outrageous acts.”
Both families lived nearby, with the Zhao family residing in the meat processing plant’s residential area and the Cheng Family working and living in the food factory’s compound.
The two compounds were just a twenty-minute walk apart.
Moreover, with the children from both families being around the same age and acquainted since childhood, they knew a lot about Zhang Guoqing.
That young fellow was mediocre in studies, had always been a troublemaker since childhood, disinterested in proper pursuits, and had fancied Cheng Yinglan for more than a day or two.
Yet, that girl never fancied him back, reportedly liking someone from a rural area in another county.
But no one knew who that person was. Initially, Zhang Guoqing was supposed to go to the countryside, but suddenly one day, Cheng Yinglan married Zhang Guoqing, and simultaneously, they both started working at her meat processing plant.
Moreover, they were both staff members—one in the publicity department and the other in the finance office.
The incident caused quite a stir in the food factory’s compound; everyone said these two got incredibly lucky.
Xu Ying listened with furrowing brows, knowing four hundred yuan wasn’t enough to purchase two jobs, not to mention a position as an official.
Someone definitely helped them.
If this person simply wanted to help Zhang Guoqing and his companion, then they wouldn’t have needed to take risks and harm her cousin.
The only possibility left was that this person held a grudge against her cousin or the Xu family.
Whatever the case, she had to find this person.
“Aunt Zhao, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu and I need to visit the Cheng family.”
“Hey, wait for me; I’ll take you there. What if you don’t know where Yinghe’s house is?” Mother Zhao hurriedly called the two.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu glanced at her mother, “Mom, I know where my sister-in-law lives, and even if we didn’t, we would find out by asking around the food factory compound.
If you come with us, won’t you have to skip work this afternoon?” As soon as she mentioned work, Mother Zhao exclaimed and had to run off without further discussion.
Grabbing her things, she ran, “You girl should have reminded your mom earlier; I’m going to be late.”
After Mother Zhao ran off as swift as the wind despite her age, Eldest Sister-in-law Xu couldn’t resist and chuckled from behind, “My mom is always like this, hasty in everything she does.”
Xu Ying also smiled. It seemed her sister-in-law had inherited her mom’s traits, but her kindness surely came from Aunt Zhao.
The two headed toward the food factory compound. Upon arriving, they readily found out where Cheng Yinghe’s house was.
As luck would have it, Cheng Yinghe was off today but had just gone out shopping with friends.
“Yingying, I know where my sister-in-law is!” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu proudly declared, knowing their county only had a cooperative and the Department Store for shopping, so her sister-in-law surely went there.
Eldest Sister-in-law Xu confidently led Xu Ying to the Department Store, scouring the first, second, and third floors until they finally found Cheng Yinghe in the clothing section on the third floor.
“Sister-in-law!” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu called out loudly.
Cheng Yinghe, who had already found Eldest Sister-in-law Xu familiar-looking, instantly blushed at the call.
Embarrassed, she looked at Eldest Sister-in-law Xu, “Lingzi, why are you here too?”
The girl next to Cheng Yinghe frowned upon seeing Eldest Sister-in-law Xu.
This woman obviously had children already and wasn’t young either; why would she call Yinghe ‘sister-in-law’?
“Sister-in-law, my little aunt needs to discuss something with you. Could we talk privately?” Eldest Sister-in-law Xu whispered upon noticing the girl next to Cheng Yinghe.
The observant girl pointed across to the coats section, “Yinghe, you talk first; I’ll browse over there.”
Cheng Yinghe nodded, looking puzzled at Xu Ying, “Xu, what do you want to talk about?”
Xu Ying joined Eldest Sister-in-law Xu in addressing her as sister-in-law, “Sister-in-law, I want to ask about Cheng Yinglan and Zhang Guoqing. My cousin Xu Shengshun and them…”
As Cheng Yinghe listened, her eyes grew wider and then anger took over, her hands trembling, “How dare they do this? I knew there was no way they could have landed such good jobs on their own.
It turns out all was at the expense of your cousin; how could they be so cruel.”
Although Cheng Yinghe had earlier mentioned at the Zhao Family that Cheng Yinglan and Zhang Guoqing had secured jobs that weren’t rightfully theirs, merely to provoke them, hearing the confirmed answer still made it hard for her to accept.
“Xu, when my cousin first got her job, I accidentally overheard my Aunt Zhao telling her to thank her classmate.
At the time, my cousin was reluctant, even saying it was something he should do on his own, and that he owed her.”
