Chapter 708: The Wicked Fear the More Wicked

"Let's go, get in the car."

"Alright!"

Liu Fengchao told his wife to go home and wait for him, then he got into Lao Qi's car.

The Liu Family.

It was almost dark, and his son still hadn't returned.

The phone wouldn't go through either.

The old lady was pacing back and forth in a panic, scolding her daughter-in-law: "You useless thing, are you a pig? You watched your husband get dragged into a car and didn't even know to stop them?"

Jiang Siwei was scolded, lowered her head out of habit, and said in a low voice: "A Chao got into their car voluntarily, how could I stop him..."

"You still dare to talk back?"

The old lady grabbed the short broom used for sweeping the bed and beat Jiang Siwei over the head and face: "I'll teach you to talk back, I'll teach you to talk back, I should just beat you to death. Other people raise pigs and can kill them for meat at the end of the year, but raising you in our house only results in eating..."

"Don't hit my mommy, you're bad, let go of my mommy."

The little girl lunged over to protect her mother, which made the old lady even angrier.

"Fine, you little brat, you ungrateful wolf, do you have the surname Jiang or Liu? Elbowing outward, what use are you..."

The old lady gave a shove.

The child was pushed to the ground, her head hit the corner of the table, and she wailed.

She was bleeding.

The child was already frightened, and upon seeing the blood, she fainted from terror.

"Beibei..."

Jiang Siwei pushed her mother-in-law away, picked up her daughter, and rushed out.

Seeing that she had caused trouble, the old lady quieted down and hurriedly fished out her wallet to follow.

Her daughter-in-law was as stupid as a pig; without a single cent, which hospital would take them?

Jian Family Hospital.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law registered for the emergency room. After the doctor examined her, he told them: "The child is fine, don't worry. It's just a small cut on the back of her head; it will be fine after disinfection and bandaging."

Jiang Siwei was not reassured: "Doctor, if she's fine, why is there so much blood? Please examine her carefully, I beg you."

The doctor said: "There are many capillaries on the head, so even a small cut will bleed a lot. If you are worried, you can get an MRI."

Old Lady Liu felt the pinch of the cost and didn't want to get one.

Seeing the doctor say this, she habitually lectured her daughter-in-law: "You impatient thing, a little incident and you act like the sky is falling..."

Before she finished speaking, she met her daughter-in-law's gaze and was startled!

Jiang Siwei was glaring at her.

Her gaze was as sharp as if she wanted to eat someone.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Old Lady Liu felt guilty.

Jiang Siwei said word by word: "Old witch, go pay the bill, did you hear me? If anything happens to my daughter, believe me, I will kill you."

"You dare?"

Old Lady Liu blustered, but her confidence was lacking.

"Do you want to see if I dare?"

Jiang Siwei took a step forward, assuming a posture of being ready to risk her life.

"This is a hospital, don't you go making a scene. I won't lower myself to your level; if you aren't afraid of losing face, I am..."

The old lady was thoroughly frightened. Although her wallet ached, she went to pay the bill reluctantly.

After the deep examination was completed, the result was no different from the doctor's initial diagnosis.

There was indeed nothing wrong, and the old lady, feeling the pain of the money spent, started to nag again.

She had barely started when Jiang Siwei roared: "Shut up, if you say one more word, I'll tear your mouth apart."

She held her daughter close, her eyes red, her expression looking as if she wanted to eat someone.

The mother-in-law was very unaccustomed to her daughter-in-law's current attitude toward her.

"Are you going crazy?"

Jiang Siwei: "Yes, I am crazy, but even if I am crazy, it's because you forced me to be. You old hag, you can bully me however you want, but you cannot bully my daughter."

A child is the flesh that falls from a mother's body.

Her daughter suffering completely ignited the brilliance of Jiang Siwei's maternal love.

She used to view her husband as her heaven.

Her husband always said how hard it was for his mother to raise him as a widow, so she had always endured it.

But her endurance did not bring respect, only intensified torment.

Jiang Siwei decided that even if her husband wanted to divorce her, she would protect her daughter from being bullied by the old woman.

From now on, she would be her daughter's true protective umbrella.

The old lady was a bully who feared the strong and picked on the weak. No matter how she bullied her before, she never dared to make a sound, which was why she had become increasingly worse.

But now that Jiang Siwei had suddenly become formidable, the old lady's edge was retracted.

"I won't lower myself to your level. When we get back, I'll let A Chao talk to you."

When they arrived home, the lights were on—Liu Fengchao had returned!

He had talked very well with Sheng Hanyu at Dingsheng Group.

Sheng Hanyu asked him to go to R Country to be a sales representative for Dingsheng, earning an annual salary!

Such a good thing was like a pie falling from the sky; Liu Fengchao hadn't even dared to imagine it.

For so many years, he had never been as happy as he was today. He was so happy that he went out to have a few drinks, but when he got home, he found no one there.

Just as he was about to make a call, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned carrying the child.

Seeing her son at home, the old lady immediately rushed over to cry and complain: "My son, you must stand up for your mother. While you weren't home, your wife almost ate me alive. You can't keep this wicked woman; go divorce her tomorrow..." Seeing her son return, the old lady felt as if she had found her backbone.

"Mmph, mmph."

The old lady's mouth was covered by her son, preventing her from continuing.

Liu Fengchao dragged his mother back to their room and said to her: "You must not bully Jiang Siwei in the future. I got a high-paying job today, and it was thanks to Jiang Siwei's cousin."

"High-paying? How high?"

Hearing about money, the old lady's eyes instantly lit up.

"An annual salary of three hundred thousand."

He held up three fingers: "That's just the base salary; if I do well, there are commissions too!"

In reality, the annual salary Sheng Hanyu had set for him was five hundred thousand.

At the critical moment, he kept his wits about him and understated it by two hundred thousand.

Otherwise, all the money would be withheld by his old mother, and his wife wouldn't get a single cent!

"Heavens! That much?"

The old lady was blinded by greed; upon hearing an annual salary of three hundred thousand, she immediately beamed with joy.

"Don't worry, son, I will be good to Jiang Siwei."

That her son could find such a job was all thanks to Jiang Siwei's cousin; fearing her son might lose the job, she made a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn in her attitude toward Jiang Siwei.

Before, she made Jiang Siwei do everything, and would still nitpick, saying this was bad and that was wrong.

Now, she could cook, tidy up the house, and even broke precedent by taking five hundred yuan out of her wallet to give to her daughter-in-law: "Jiang Siwei, go buy two nice outfits; young people should dress up more."

Jiang Siwei didn't dare to take it.

Her mother-in-law was a total miser; no matter whose money it was, once it entered her pocket, it was as if it were bolted to her ribs, and trying to get it out was as painful as pulling skin and stripping tendons.

Liu Fengchao hurriedly took it and stuffed it into his wife's pocket: "Mom gave it to you, so just take it; hurry up and thank Mom."

"Thank you, Mom." Although Jiang Siwei thanked her, she still felt it was unreal, as if she were in a dream.

Sheng Hanyu had Liu Fengchao go to R Country to work in sales.

R Country is different from Jiangzhou.

It is relatively chaotic there, without a mature sales model, and people who follow the rules too strictly don't fare well there.

And Liu Fengchao was just right; he was very well-suited for R Country.

Sheng Hanyu was very good at using people; the moment he first saw Liu Fengchao, he noticed that this was a talent who would surely shine if placed in the right position.

The reason Liu Fengchao was able to get out so easily also had to do with Sheng Hanyu.

Her husband finding a good job made Jiang Siwei happy at first, but thinking about him having to go abroad, she felt reluctant.

Having finally returned to the country, now he had to leave again.

How many days had the couple even spent together? And if he went out and earned a lot, would he look down on her?

Old Lady Liu was also reluctant to let her son go far away, thinking how good it would be if he stayed in Jiangzhou, where she could see him at all times.

Thus, she tried to coax her daughter-in-law into talking to her cousin, saying how much better it would be if he stayed in Jiangzhou to work!

Liu Fengchao was a sensible man, and when he heard this, he immediately stopped it.

He told his wife to go to the Sheng Family to express her thanks, but absolutely not to make any demands.

Having finally established this connection, he didn't want to lose it again because of greed.
