Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 952: Chapter 952: The Truth Revealed

All the way, Zhao Xiaojing kept asking. The eldest son went to school, the husband went out to earn money. Now only the younger son is at home. How could she not miss them?

Sun Yun understood her husband. Just by looking at his expression, she knew something must have happened.

But she didn’t ask, she’d know once she got home. She dared not upset her husband now.

The three of them rushed home and saw that Second Brother and his family were also there.

Zhao Qingxiang saw their expressions were not good either. This meant they already knew.

The children ran out when they heard the noise. After being away for nearly a year, how could they not miss home? Originally, they wanted to come back for the summer break, but it rained a lot and the two sisters wouldn’t allow it. Only because of the New Year did they have to bring them back.

The children from each family ran towards their own parents.

Zhao Xiaole held his sister’s hand, standing very excitedly beside Zhao Qingxiang.

Seeing his own children, Zhao Qingxiang’s expression softened quite a bit.

Sun Yun, seeing her three daughters who had changed a lot, felt a mix of emotions.

But seeing that only her eldest daughter was still close to her, while the other two daughters didn’t come near, she felt hurt.

”Alright, let’s all go inside.”

Zhao Xiaojing pulled her two sons by the hand and walked in with a big smile, completely oblivious to her eldest son’s unhappiness.

Qi Xue Mei was somewhat exasperated by this kind of sister-in-law, thinking her ignorance was perhaps a blessing?

Everyone went into Zhao Tian’s house.

Zhao Tian got on the bed. Sitting there with his pipe, he said, ”Xiao Ling, take your siblings back to your room. Let Hai Jun stay.”

Zhao Xiaoling obediently led the three younger kids. Zhixue also followed.

Zhao Xiaole was stopped by Hai Jun and didn’t leave with them.

An Lixia went to the storeroom to find sweet potatoes, asking Xiao Ling to roast slices for them to eat, so the kids would stay put.

Now, there were only two children and seven adults in the room.

”Hai Jun, go ahead and tell us.”

Zhao Xiaojing was startled. What was wrong with her son? Anxiously, she held her son’s hand, ”Hai Jun, what’s wrong? It’s okay, your dad is here.”

The other brothers remained silent, feeling quite helpless towards their sister too. She completely followed Xu Hongbing’s lead.

”Mom, Dad doesn’t want us anymore.”

Zhao Xiaojing laughed, ”Nonsense, silly boy, how could your dad not want the three of us?”

”Mom, when we were having dinner in the city on our way back, we ran into Dad with another woman. Xiaole and I followed them. Dad said he’d let you stay home to earn money for her to spend. The woman said she’s been with Dad for several years and wants him to spend the New Year with her this year.”

After Hai Jun finished speaking, the smile froze on Zhao Xiaojing’s face.

”Hai Jun, you’re talking nonsense. You must have seen it wrong.” Her face was now all panic-stricken.

”Mom, even Accountant Zhang saw it, and when I bumped into that woman, she wanted to take me to the police station, and Dad didn’t even help me.”

Zhao Xiaojing looked at everyone in a daze. These were her parents and brothers and sisters-in-law.

”Xiaojing, Accountant Zhang just told me the same thing that Hai Jun mentioned.

What do you want to do? We want to hear your thoughts.”

Zhao Xiaojing’s tears started to fall at this point, shaking her head continuously. She didn’t believe it, really couldn’t believe it.

”Big Brother, Second Brother, what should I do? I can’t leave Hongbing. What should I do? There are his two sons here. How could it be like this?”

The family let Zhao Xiaojing cry and throw a tantrum. An Lixia held the second daughter sobbing, wondering why they had to come across something like this? Why was her daughter’s life so bitter?

Zhao Qingxiang saw that his sister had been crying for twenty minutes without any sign of stopping.

”Enough, will crying solve anything? You need to think about what to do.”

”Big Brother, what else can I do?”

Sun Yun watched from the side, thinking to herself, even if she didn’t have a son, her husband treated her well. This younger sister-in-law was really having such a hard time, not better than her own lot.

”Xiaojing, just think about what to do next. You can’t let this matter go just like that, right?”

”Big Brother, what should I do?”

”This decision is yours to make.”

Zhao Tian looked at his second daughter. ”Xiaojing, you can’t stay with a man like that. You’re toiling day and night at home while he has another woman outside.”

”Dad, I can’t leave Hongbing. If I don’t live with him, what will happen in the future?”

”Mom, if you don’t stay with Dad, my brother and I will stay with you. I have a classmate who has a stepmother. The stepmother had a little brother, and now he’s nearly unable to go to school.

He says his dad doesn’t care about him at all now. If Dad has a stepmother in the future, what will happen to my brother and me?”

After hearing her son’s words, Zhao Xiaojing cried even louder.

Qi Xue Mei and Sun Yun, the two sisters-in-law, were quite sympathetic to their younger sister-in-law’s plight.

”Whatever Xiaojing decides to do, we can’t let that woman go. Later we will head to the city, Hai Jun you’ll come with us, find that woman, report her, make her a spectacle, let everyone know what kind of home-wrecker she is.”

Qi Xue Mei’s words stopped Zhao Xiaojing from crying as well. ”Yes, let’s go now. That shameless woman, I won’t let her off. She must have seduced Hongbing, or else Hongbing wouldn’t be like this.”

Zhao Tian nodded in agreement. ”Alright then, the five of you go. We’ll stay home and take care of the kids.”

They started preparing. Zhao Qingjie suggested calling Xiao Li, as she usually had great ideas.

But no matter what, they had to head to the city.

An Lixia steamed buns for them to eat on the way.

Although the kids were in another room, they heard everything. The older kids understood what was going on, while the younger ones were quite scared. After all, Second Sister’s crying had lasted a long time earlier, and hearing her cries scared them into huddling on the kang.

After finishing dinner, they set off at night. Zhao Xiaojing sat expressionlessly in the car.

They didn’t stop overnight, and ran into Xu Hongbing at dawn.

He saw his wife’s family in the car and realized this matter wasn’t going to end well. He’d already started packing the night before. The other woman came and said she was pregnant.

Xu Hongbing absolutely didn’t want this child; he’d never thought about getting a divorce or anything.

But with the claim of pregnancy, he really needed to resolve it. After a lot of persuasive talk, he gave her a hundred yuan, which made her agree to an abortion and say she wouldn’t contact him again.

They hurried back overnight. He knew that if he didn’t appease Zhao Xiaojing, he’d face difficulties on the farm in the future, as the Zhao Family had a significant influence there.

He stopped the car to block Zhao Qingxiang’s group. ”Big Brother, Second Brother, whatever it is, let’s talk back home.”
