“If my sons hadn’t been provoked by your family to a certain extent! Would they go and kidnap the children! They’re still so young! How can they have so many tricks up their sleeves! It’s all because of Qiao Mei! Itt s Qiao Mei who made them clean pig intestines! Is that a job for humans? How can you insult people like that?” Zhou Hua raised her head and shouted.
“Are you talking like a human being? Then why don’t you find jobs for your own sons instead of asking Qiao Mei for help? The salary they wanted is twice as high as that of an ordinary worker. Do they feel aggrieved to have to clean pig intestines? If you ask me, they should go and empty the night soil! They should tough it out! Which one of our Xia family’s children and grandchildren is not better than the two of them! Why can’t the two of them endure some hard work!” Xia Jun questioned.
Qiao Mei helped Xu Lan to sit down at one side. Xu Lan wept and said, “Our family’s achievements and status were all obtained through the hard work of your eldest brother and your two nephews! Our Xia He also helped the country in her own way! Our Qiao Mei also donated supplies and seeds to the country! What about your family? What has your family done! What right do you have to come here and criticize us!”
“They’re all children of the Xia family! What right do you have to favor one over another! Why can’t you take better care of our family!” Zhou Hua shouted.
Xia Guang covered Zhou Hua’s mouth and said, “I’m sorry… This is all our family’s fault…”
“Hmph, at least you’re still reasonable and not muddle-headed enough to listen to this woman. Do you know what she’s going to do this time round? She wanted to burn Qiao Mei!s college entrance examination papers!” Xia Jun said angrily.
“What?” Xia Guang looked at Zhou Hua in disbelief.
“Nonsense! It’s not me! You’re accusing me wrongly!” Zhou Hua shouted.
She had paid someone to carry out the plan. There were so many people interspersed in the process, so how could they really find any trace of her action? Even if the arsonist did not succeed, she was not the one who started the fire. It was impossible for them to make her responsible for this matter even if they tried to get to the bottom of it.
“Do you think we won’t be able to find out anything about this? Third Uncle, why don’t you go home and take a look? See if there is 1,000 dollars missing from your savings,” Qiao Mei said calmly.
Some time ago, Xia Guang had indeed realized that there were a lot of things that went missing at home. He ate his meals in the army so he did not really use those food stamps and coupons and had accumulated a drawer full of them. However, the day before yesterday, he realized that everything in the drawer was gone. Zhou Hua had said that she had given everything to her maternal family to help them out.
“Of course she can’t have taken any money from Third Uncle’s pocket. She also doesn’t have that much money, meaning she’s not the only one involved in this plan. There’s also her good sister, Zhou Luo. If not for Zhou Luo being her spy in the capital, she wouldn’t have known so much about what’s going on in the capital,” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s nonsense! You don’t have any evidence at all! You have wronged me!” Zhou Hua said.
“l have wronged you? The perpetrators have already been brought to justice and your elder sister has also already given you up. You just have to go to jail obediently now. We originally wanted to be kind and save you a few years in jail. Now it seems that we are still too benevolent,” Qiao Mei said as she shook her head resignedly.
Zhou Luo had already been arrested some time back and she had told them everything from the beginning to the end. She even told them a lot about Zhou Hua’s past. All those things which her ancestors had robbed from graves had also been found and retrieved.
“Impossible… Why would my elder sister betray me…” Zhou Hua said as she looked at Qiao Mei in shock.
“If you only want to burn my examination papers, I won’t blame you. There’s still room for discussion. But how can you burn the examination papers of those innocent parties? What does this have to do with them? Your heart is so rotten,” Qiao Mei said.
“Hahahahaha! Don’t pretend to be such a good person! If not for you! Why will they suffer! It’s all your fault! Your fault! They’re unlucky! Hahahahahaha! They deserve it!” Zhou Hua lay down on the ground and laughed crazily.
Xia Jun called his subordinates outside the door to come in and asked them to take Zhou Hua away. She would be punished accordingly and he would not let her off easily. He wanted to make an example out of her so that anyone who had such crooked ideas in the future would think twice before following the path that she had taken.
“Xia Guang, don’t interact with the Zhou family anymore in the future,” Xia Jun said sternly.
“Got it…” Xia Guang said dispiritedly..
