Chapter 155: I'm Not Willing to Just Let It Go Like That

Qiao Sheng's words moved Zhang Qiao deeply, tears instantly filling her eyes: "Lianhua, thank you, thank you..."

"You're here again!"

Qiao Sheng looked at Zhang Qiao and said.

Zhang Qiao wiped away the tears that had fallen and said: "Although we are friends, I have helped you before, but it doesn't compare to the kindness you showed us this time; I must thank you no matter what. Moreover, you said you would teach me how to make food, and you taught me alone without teaching anyone else, so I owe you even more thanks."

Before Qiao Sheng could say anything.

Zhang Qiao continued: "Lianhua, I now have to take care of two children and also my husband; in the short term I'm afraid I won't be able to come study with you."

That is indeed a problem.

Qiao Sheng thought for a moment and said: "How about this: wait until your husband's condition improves, then you can come study with me."

"Good!"

Zhang Qiao readily agreed.

Speaking of this.

Sun Mao had suffered such a great loss, feeling deeply resentful; when his wife's brother, the government office clerk Zhang Qingshui, came to visit.

He said to Zhang Qingshui: "Brother, what on earth is going on? How could those people suddenly help Sun Shuisheng testify on their behalf?"

Upon hearing that.

Zhang Qingshui pursed his lips and said: "What else could it be? It's not that someone approached them and made them do this. Although I don't know who did it, the person behind it is clearly not ordinary. From now on, when you come out, behave yourself; don't be like before."

Actually, he has already said this several times.

Yet he refuses to listen.

Zhang Qingshui stayed only a short while before leaving.

He is still competent in his work.

If he weren't.

The Town Magistrate would likely replace him, not letting him continue as his clerk.

As soon as Zhang Qingshui left, Sun Mao clenched his fists, and shortly afterward he punched the prison door.

His wife Zhang Juan arrived a little later.

As soon as she arrived, she placed the various foods she had brought in front of Sun Mao.

Seeing Sun Mao ignore her, Zhang Juan whispered: "Husband, don't be angry; my older brother can't help it, but if he could, he would certainly help you."

"I'm not willing to just let it go like that."

Sun Mao had been struck thirty times with the heavy board, and his buttocks still hurt badly to this day.

Zhang Juan opened her mouth and said: "My older brother said..."

She lacks looks, and in bed she lies there like a dead fish.

If it weren't for her having a brother who is a yamen clerk, would he have married her?

She has no discernment at all.

Even though he is so angry, he still says that.

Sun Mao, fuming, said: "Do you only see your older brother? The person you will spend your life with is me; you don't help me, yet you listen to everything your older brother says?"

"Worthless woman, you don't even know how to feel sorry for him!"

"Where does she listen to her older brother in everything?"

Zhang Juan looked at Sun Mao and said: "Husband, how could I not help you? You were punished by the Town Magistrate, and I have already spoken to my older brother several times, but this matter hasn't been resolved."

"If you truly want to help me, find out who that behind-the-scenes person is; I need to know who helped Sun Shuisheng and them!"

Sun Mao wanted to know just how extraordinary the person behind it really is.

"I am just a humble woman..."

As soon as Zhang Juan said that.

Sun Mao roared at her.

"How can you be so stupid? Your older brother definitely knows something about this; if you can't get anything from him, it only shows he doesn't treat you as a true sister."

"Besides this method, there are two others: one is to find someone to ask those who accused me; the other is to find a way to make Sun Shuisheng and them reveal the behind-the-scenes person."
