My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 245 Greasy and with ill intentions

She was afraid something might happen later, so she decided to first confide these complications to her two sisters-in-law.

The eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law were both tight-lipped and wouldn’t gossip.

As long as they were aware of the situation, it would also prevent no one from knowing the truth.

After hearing Zhang Hongyan’s words, Gao Ping and Li Xiuli fell silent.

They had never experienced something like this and didn’t know what to say.

At this moment, they felt only one emotion, and that was sympathy.

They pitied the girl who was once helpless and alone!

Li Xiuli felt the atmosphere was too oppressive, sighed, went back into the room, and brought out a can of fruit.

She twisted off the cap.

A rich fragrance of fruit wafted up to their noses.

The scent was sweet and fragrant, lingering pleasantly.

As Zhang Hongyan caught the aroma, her rising anger and pain seemed to be blown away, and all the negative emotions disappeared.

"Is this canned fruit?"

Li Xiuli nodded and handed her a spoon.

"Yes, canned fruit, bought by Tangtang," Li Xiuli said with a smile. "Try it, it’s super sweet. Everyone in the family, young and old, loves it. Let’s share this can between the three of us."

Tangtang always said that when you’re feeling down, something sweet will make it better.

She should try it...

Zhang Hongyan took the spoon, scooped up a small piece of yellow pear, and ate it with the juice inside.

As soon as she took a bite,

she felt instantly healed.

"This canned fruit is so delicious!"

The chill at her brow began to fade, and the corner of her mouth curved into a slight smile.

Her whole body felt lighter and more cheerful.

"City folks really know how to enjoy food. This canned fruit must cost a few bucks, right? It tastes amazing. I hope our village Sauce Factory can be just as good."

She passed the spoon back and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you should try some too."

"Alright, then I’ll have a taste as well," Gao Ping said, taking the spoon and trying an orange.

The sweet and sour citrus was intensely flavorful, leaving a fragrant taste in her mouth.

"Wow, Hongyan was right, it really is delicious!"

Gao Ping looked at Li Xiuli with envy, "Xiuli’s life is getting better and better."

In just half a year, the changes were tremendous.

In the past, the second house had to support Tangtang, paying for tuition and living expenses, it was a huge stress, and they lived the most poorly within the Lin Family.

Now, not only do they own a radio, but they also have several workers in the household. Their vegetables are even sought after by city people, bringing in a stable income, and their lives were suddenly more comfortable than those in the city.

Li Xiuli beamed with joy.

"And there’s my own family to talk about. Weiguo, despite his young age, has become the Camp Chief. That’s better than anything!

The eldest brother is the brigade Captain, and once Aiguo joins the Sauce Factory, the eldest house’s life will rise to another level."

Hearing her mention her eldest son, a look of longing crossed Gao Ping’s eyes.

Her face exuded pride.

"Weiguo is serving the country away from home. He’s doing well.

I’m just concerned about him finding a wife soon. Baoguo already has two children, and he doesn’t even have a wife yet, ah!"

"I don’t know if he received the dried pork I sent recently. I heard it’s always icy and snowy over there. I wonder if he’s cold, if he can get enough to eat..."

A mother’s worry stretches over a thousand miles.

Especially with Weiguo constantly in danger, her worry was even greater.

Li Xiuli comforted her, "Every day, my husband and I listen to the news on the radio. They say it’s become far less turbulent over there. If he’s not on the battlefield, there’s still assurance of safety."

In truth, it was Lin Lu who liked listening to the news.

She preferred revolutionary songs and storytellers over the news.

Relieved by what she heard, Gao Ping’s heart eased a bit.

"Having a radio is much more convenient than reading the newspaper."

Being a soldier could never be entirely safe, but after being comforted by Li Xiuli, Gao Ping’s constantly hanging heart at last relaxed somewhat.

Li Xiuli chuckled, "If the eldest sister-in-law wants to listen, just come over to my place."

After chatting for a while, Gao Ping and Zhang Hongyan helped pack some things and then went back home.

The Lin Family’s third household’s courtyard was located near the entrance to the village.

Zhang Hongyan separated from Gao Ping and walked towards home alone.

Dusk was gathering, and the path was quiet.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the bushes by the side of the road.

"Ah..."

Zhang Hongyan was startled.

She hastily took a step back.

Before she could react, that familiar, utterly repulsive, slightly aged male voice rang out.

"Hongyan, why are you scared? We’re from the same village after all, what can I do to you?"

The speaker was covered in rags and patches.

His hair was greasy, and his face was darker than the night.

Wrinkles were etched onto his face as if they had been carved there.

His eyeballs were darting around.

He looked slimy and up to no good.

Upon seeing this man, a deep-seated hatred flashed in Zhang Hongyan’s eyes.

"What do you want with me again?" she said coldly. "I won’t be threatened by you. If you want to report to the police, just go ahead. If Zhang Hongyan so much as blinks, she’d rather die than face her parents and sister with shame!"

Speaking of her sister, who had been harmed by the man before her, Zhang Hongyan’s voice turned ice-cold, her gaze sinister.

Mao Laizi was taken aback.

He looked more carefully, and the woman still had that same earnest and simple appearance.

He just assumed that he had been mistaken.

"Big sister, don’t get so excited, I’m not threatening you. I’m just asking you for a bit of money to spend..." Mao Laizi said thick-faced.

Before he could finish, Zhang Hongyan interrupted him.

"What? Asking me for money to spend?" She sneered coldly, "You really dare to ask! I have no money for you."

She would have to be insane to give money to her enemy!

Mao Laizi didn’t take her refusal seriously at all.

Those murky eyes gleamed with greed.

"No money? Impossible."

"I’ve heard that your daughter is working at the Chemical Factory, there’s no way you don’t have money. I don’t believe that at all," he added.

Zhang Hongyan hadn’t expected him to know even this, and her face shifted slightly.

Mao Laizi chuckled heeheehee, his laugh disgusting and lewd.

"Or would you prefer that I go find your daughter?"

Zhang Hongyan’s eyes hardened, glaring at Mao Laizi, she said, "You dare!"

"If you dare touch a hair on my daughter’s head, believe it or not, not only will you not get a single penny, you might even end up dead."

Her tone was light, but Mao Laizi dared not take it lightly.

This woman was vicious.

Mao Laizi concealed the greed in his eyes, replacing it with a simple smile.

"I was just speaking offhand..."

Zhang Hongyan watched him intently until Mao Laizi felt a chill down his spine.

"You’d better be," she said.

Mao Laizi didn’t want to truly anger her, so he said, "Don’t worry, I won’t go looking for your daughter."

Having expressed his stance, he rubbed his hands together and began asking for money again.

"So, about that money...?"

A ruthless look flashed across Zhang Hongyan’s eyes.

When she looked up again, her face was full of resentment at being taken advantage of.

"Got it, go and wait for me at the village entrance. I’ll come over later and give it to you," she said.

Mao Laizi felt a burst of joy inside but failed to notice the fleeting coldness on Zhang Hongyan’s face.

"Alright then, I’ll be waiting for you," he said.

After speaking, Mao Laizi crossed his hands inside his sleeves and shuffled away, hunching his shoulders.

Zhang Hongyan released the fingers she had been clenching in her palm, the smile on her lips as cold as ice and snow.

Just then, a tall figure approached from not too far away.

Lin Shou, worried that his wife had not come back for a long time and that something might have occurred on her way, came looking for her.
