Chapter 321

"The wind is blowing harder and harder now. Your family background issue is too serious. If you don't leave now, you might not be able to leave at all!"

Widow Bai was very "worried" about He Great Qing.

The issue of his family background was not something He Great Qing had told her; it was Yi Zhonghai who had told her.

"Wait, how do you know my family background is problematic?"

"Who told you?"

He Great Qing was stunned, then immediately reacted.

The family background issue was his greatest hidden worry. He was terrified of others finding out, and the number of people who truly knew could be counted on one hand.

He was absolutely certain he had never told Widow Bai.

"I, I, why are you being so fierce?"

"Did you forget? You told me once when you were drunk."

Widow Bai was flustered for a moment, but quickly found an excuse.

"Is that so?"

"You aren't lying to me?"

"I know you. You're so flustered, you must be lying to me. Speak, how did you find out?"

He Great Qing glared at Widow Bai.

"Don't forget, ever since we met, I've been the one supporting you."

"I can leave you, but you can't leave me."

"If you don't tell the truth, we are finished right here."

He Great Qing threatened Widow Bai.

Widow Bai was truly panicked.

"It was a man named Yi Zhonghai who told me. He said he was the First Master of your Sihe Academy."

"How do you know him?"

"He followed me."

"What else did Yi Zhonghai tell you?"

"He said you were hindering him from controlling the Sihe Academy and asked me to persuade you to leave. Great Qing, your family background issue is too serious, just come with me!"

Widow Bai did not forget to persuade He Great Qing.

Being exposed didn't matter.

As long as the goal was achieved, that was enough.

"Yi Zhonghai told you my family background was problematic, and you believed him?"

"Let me tell you, my family background has no problems at all. Yi Zhonghai is lying to you; he just wants you to take me away from the Sihe Academy."

He Great Qing felt a weight lift from his heart.

He was truly grateful to Wan Ping'an!

If it weren't for Wan Ping'an, faced with the threat of a background check on one side and Widow Bai's persuasion on the other, he definitely would have left!

If he left.

He couldn't possibly take Sha Zhu and Yushui with him.

Deaf Old Lady and Yi Zhonghai would definitely brainwash Sha Zhu again, and by then, Sha Zhu would no longer be Sha Zhu.

Slap!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He Great Qing slapped Widow Bai.

"You bitch, do you know you almost got me killed?"

He Great Qing glared at Widow Bai.

"Great Qing, I know I was wrong, I beg you, don't abandon me!"

Widow Bai was terrified.

"Knowing you're wrong is enough!"

"I'll give you a chance to make amends; help me deal with Yi Zhonghai."

He Great Qing was extremely annoyed and planned to deal with Yi Zhonghai.

Widow Bai agreed to everything.

He Great Qing didn't treat her poorly; the two discussed swindling a sum of money from Yi Zhonghai.

The lion's share would go to He Great Qing.

A smaller portion would be given to Widow Bai.

"Great Qing, are you really not coming to Baocheng with me?"

Widow Bai was somewhat unwilling to give up.

He Great Qing had a son and a daughter in Sijiucheng; he certainly wouldn't help her raise her children wholeheartedly.

It would be different in Baocheng.

He Great Qing definitely couldn't take his children with him, so he would focus on helping her raise hers.

"Xiao Bai, let me tell you again: I live very well in Sijiucheng and won't go with you. If you want to go to Baocheng, go find someone else."

He Great Qing warned her with a cold expression.

Widow Bai nodded repeatedly; she was afraid He Great Qing would discard her.

She was very pretty, prettier than many young maidens, but beauty alone was useless. She was a widow with two half-grown children.

Who would marry her?

He Great Qing had no intention of marrying her either.

The two were just taking what they needed from each other; one had taken a fancy to her body, the other to his money. There was very little emotional factor between them!

Sihe Academy.

The Jia family.

"Go, sweep the floor again!"

Jia Zhang was lying down, not even looking to see if the floor was dirty, as she ordered Jia Dongxu around.

Sigh!

Jia Dongxu let out a sigh.

After the fake rat poison incident, Jia Zhang had stopped doing any work at all, becoming even worse than before.

"Why is there so much dust?"

"Can't you sprinkle some water on the floor first?"

"You used too much water, do you want to soak our whole floor?"

Jia Zhang was nitpicking, looking for faults where there were none.

Jia Dongxu could only endure it.

"Dongxu, look at how tired you are, having to work every day and do chores too?"

"I think you should hurry up and find a wife."

"She can wash your clothes, cook for you, and bear you children. Wouldn't that be great?"

Jia Zhang persuaded him.

Jia Dongxu was stunned, then reacted.

Was she finding him a wife?

This was Jia Zhang wanting to find a servant!

During the day, he was at work, and Jia Zhang was home alone; she had to do everything herself, and she couldn't call Jia Dongxu back from the factory.

With one more person, it would be different.

As a mother-in-law, it was only natural for Jia Zhang to order her daughter-in-law to do the work.

"Mom, let's talk about it in a while!"

"Right now, I just want to pass my grade assessment quickly and earn more wages!"

Jia Dongxu shook his head and refused.

Was it that he didn't want to find a wife?

No!
