This Life, I'm Raising the Right Man

The matter with the Meng Family was left unresolved just like that.

Su Yaoguang thought Zhang Yingdi and Wang Huanzhi left hastily, with many things unprepared, recalling that Cui Rong often went to the provincial city to manage the branches, specially sought him out, and requested him to look after the two of them over there, and also asked him to help bring some silver notes over.

Zhou Wangshu would also go to the provincial city to look at the rankings, but it was still early for the announcement day, so they didn’t want to go too soon.

After handing over the items to be taken to Zhang Yingdi and Wang Huanzhi to Cui Rong, she passed by the roast duck shop, bought ten roast ducks, and had the shopkeeper arrange someone to send them to Taoyao Square, then headed for the workshop.

Passing by the Gambling House, she saw Zhong Lanhua holding a handkerchief, twisting her slender waist as she came out from inside. Her face was full of makeup, dressed in a charming and voluptuous manner, wearing new clothes that particularly accentuated her figure, her whole person exuding a bright and vibrant spirit. As Su Yaoguang passed by, Zhong Lanhua also saw her. She glared at her viciously, maintaining an arrogant attitude, just like a few months ago.

Since Jiang Yihui’s accident, Zhong Lanhua had been somewhat mentally disordered, often showing signs of madness, speaking incoherently. But today, she seemed full of spirit.

And very joyful.

She walked into the Gambling House, seeing Boss Zhong counting silver notes, smiled and approached: ”Uncle Zhong.”

Boss Zhong put the counted silver notes into his arms and smiled, saying: ”Boss Su, how come you have time to come here today?”

”I just saw Zhong Lanhua. Did she come here because of some debt issue?”

Boss Zhong was counting silver notes, and Zhong Lanhua being his debtor was not hard to guess, linking their situation, it was clear why Zhong Lanhua looked like that just now.

”Yes, that woman has some skill. She actually paid off the silver so quickly.” Boss Zhong said, ”Originally, we had agreed they would repay years later, but how long has it been, and she paid it all off.”

Su Yaoguang certainly knew of the contract they signed earlier. At that time, Zhong Lanhua was in a state of utter despair. Such a large sum of silver, ordinarily many couldn’t even earn that much in a lifetime.

Those mother and daughter indeed had some tricks.

However, she didn’t believe they earned such silver through normal means in such a short time. Thus, she became somewhat curious, wanting to know how this silver was made.

Walking out of the Gambling House, she just happened to see Feng Chaoyang leading a few people past. Seeing Feng Chaoyang, Su Yaoguang immediately perked up, called out to Feng Chaoyang across the way.

When she first met Feng Chaoyang, he had a bunch of little beggar brothers at hand. Now, if she wanted to gather information, assigning this task to him was most fitting.

After hearing Su Yaoguang’s instructions, Feng Chaoyang immediately arranged for his beggar brothers to keep a close eye on Zhong Lanhua and her mother, making sure to investigate their information thoroughly, seeing how they managed to earn the silver.

At night, Zhou Wangshu sat on the rooftop, with a complex expression, seemingly pondering something.

Su Yaoguang climbed carefully up the ladder to the rooftop, cautiously walked over, and sat beside him.

”I’ve been calling you from below for a long time, and you didn’t even react, what were you thinking about so deeply?”

Zhou Wangshu looked at her hair being messy and tidied it for her.

”You seem exceptionally excited today, did you come across something good?”

”Do you want to watch a show?” Su Yaoguang looked intensely at Zhou Wangshu.

Zhou Wangshu was slightly startled by her gaze.

Originally, the bit of loss and emptiness in his heart was dispelled, the empty space once again filled by her, and all it took was just one look from her.

”Who’s unlucky enough to be targeted by you?”

”I’m such a kind person, I generally wouldn’t trouble others, there are only a few in this world that would captivate me so much.” Su Yaoguang said, ”And what’s more, some people really just bring it upon themselves, I did nothing, it’s their own doing wrapping themselves up in trouble.”

”Alright, what did that self-tangling person do this time?”

”Come on, if we rush over now, we should catch the last show.”

Xiao Mansion. This house is not big, but compared to the residence in the slum area, it is a single household with no crude neighbors causing trouble all day.

This is the house that Xiao Yanci spent heavily to rent, hence it has his surname on it.

Originally, Xiao Yanci’s status was the same as Zhou Wangshu’s, just an unvalued live-in son-in-law. Now, with Jiang Yihui gone, only Jiang Yihuan remains as the daughter, Zhong Lanhua still has to rely on this daughter and son-in-law for her retirement, so she doesn’t dare be as arrogant as before, and the house rented by Xiao Yanci eventually has his surname put on it.

A few days ago when moving into the new residence, Xiao Yanci even deliberately set off dozens of strings of firecrackers, many came to watch the excitement, naturally they also understood Xiao Yanci’s intention in naming it the Xiao Mansion.

This is an establishment claiming dominance, letting everyone know who the real master of the house is. In the future, he no longer needs to look at Jiang Yihuan and her mother’s faces.

At this moment, even deep in the night, Xiao Mansion was very lively.

A crowd gathered at the entrance.

The main door burst open, accompanied by sounds of quarreling and fighting from inside.

Zhong Lanhua and Jiang Yihuan ran out from inside.

Immediately after, two disheveled men also ran out.

”Isn’t that Manager Yang from the embroidery workshop? Oh dear, why does he look like that?”

Xiao Yanci had a knife in his hand, and at this moment, he swung it at the steward surnamed Yang.

Looking at the other man, he slowly dressed himself, even groping Zhong Lanhua’s butt as he passed by her, exhibiting a frivolous demeanor.

After straightening his clothes, he left through the main entrance, completely unconcerned with the crowd blocking the doorway.

Zhou Wangshu covered Su Yaoguang’s eyes watching this chaotic scene.

Su Yaoguang pulled down his hand, excitedly watching the drama unfold opposite.

Today, she had Feng Chaoyang investigate Jiang Yihuan’s mother and daughter, and soon after they brought back the most accurate news. Upon learning that Jiang Yihuan and Zhong Lanhua often spent time cavorting with different men while Xiao Yanci was away, she couldn’t wait to share this intriguing event with Xiao Yanci, thus originally coaxing him from peacefully drinking at a quiet place to join in, catching Jiang Yihuan’s mother and daughter off guard.

”Wretches, both an old and a young are scoundrels.” Xiao Yanci pointed at Jiang Yihuan, saying with disgust, ”I’ll divorce you.”

Jiang Yihuan caressed her slapped cheek, giving up on struggling, and looked at him with eyes of mockery: ”Do you have the right to divorce me? Even if separating, it would be me seeking separation with you. You as a slave can live today because our family bought you, and even gave you the chance to study. But what have you done? Since being with you, our family hasn’t had a moment of peace. And now you’re disgusted with me. A grown man, not even able to support his own woman. Aren’t you quite fond of that ink stone I recently gave you? That ink stone was gifted to me by Manager Yang just now.”
