Chapter 75: What Do You Mean Jiang Xia Left?
Chapter 75: What Do You Mean Jiang Xia Left?
Wen Wan was furious, but she was still dragged away by someone. She glared viciously at Jiang Xia, her father, and her stepmother and stepsister.
You don't fear a godlike opponent; you fear a piglike teammate. Not a single person in this family cared about her. Not only did they not help her destroy the evidence, but they even brought it out!
She had to get into college and leave this family. Once she achieved success, she would make them regret treating her this way today!
And Jiang Xia, if it weren't for her privileged background and powerful parents, could she have turned the tables today with her exaggerated claims, pinning all the blame on her?
So vicious and devious!
Just wait. When her parents fall and go bankrupt, when Zhou Chenglei sees her true colors and divorces her, and when I get into college and become someone important, I'll make her pay!
Jiang Xia completely ignored Wen Wan's murderous glare. She had already achieved her goal and more. The rest could be left to the villagers' imagination!
Jiang Xia followed the production team to get the introduction letter. Before that, she had to get rid of Zhou Zhou, who had been clinging to her clothes.
"Zhou Zhou, Auntie is hungry. Can you go home and bring me two eggs to eat? And can you bring some money for Auntie? I don't have any money on me, and I won't be able to stay at a hotel tonight. Can you get 10 yuan from the drawer in my room? Auntie needs to go to the production team to get the introduction letter."
Zhou Zhou hesitated for a moment. Realizing that Auntie had no money and wouldn't be able to leave without it, she nodded obediently and ran home quickly.
Auntie also needed to write the introduction letter and make a phone call. As long as she ran fast, she could still catch up.
By the time Zhou's mother and Zhou Zhou hurried to the production team, Jiang Xia had already left.
Someone had borrowed the production team's tractor to go to the city, and Jiang Xia had gone with them.
The production team member said, "Comrade Jiang Xia said she needed to go to the city to see her parents."
Zhou's mother, feeling both worried and regretful, pulled Zhou Zhou's hand and left the production team.
She never imagined that those letters and those incidents were all fake, orchestrated by Wen Wan to harm Jiang Xia.
After all, Jiang Xia had indeed been crying, making a fuss, and threatening to hang herself every day, demanding a divorce from her son.
Zhou Zhou asked her grandmother anxiously, "Grandma, should we go find Auntie? She's gone!"
Zhou's mother snapped back to reality. "Yes! We'll go to the dock and wait for your uncle. We'll take the boat to catch up."
Jiang Xia had taken the tractor to the city, and they wouldn't be able to catch up. It was almost four o'clock, and the family's boat would be back soon. Once it returned, they could take the boat to the city, which would be faster than going by road.
So, the grandmother and granddaughter went directly to the dock.
Near the dock was a large tree, and there were a few stones under it where villagers could sit and wait for their fishing boats to return.
A few villagers were already sitting there, discussing the events involving Jiang Xia and Wen Wan.
These people had been at the scene and had followed the production team back. Since the production team was not far from the dock, they decided to wait there.
When they saw Zhou's mother, they all called out to her, asking questions.
"Jia Hao, did you know that Wen Wan learned your younger daughter-in-law's handwriting and wrote those letters to the men?"
"We heard that Wen Wan gave you all those letters this morning. Did you read them? What did they say?"
"Just now, Jiang Xia left on the tractor. Did you chase her away? You misunderstood her. It was all Wen Wan, who learned her handwriting and wrote those letters to the men..."
"Jiang Xia is really something. She slapped..."
...
The villagers chattered, recounting what had just happened to Zhou's mother.
Their words cut into Mother Zhou's heart like dull knives, slicing her to pieces.
After telling Jiang Xia to leave, Mother Zhou began to regret her decision almost immediately.
Over the past few days, she had grown to genuinely like Jiang Xia as a daughter-in-law. She truly cared for her and hoped that she and her son would have a happy and harmonious marriage. She longed for the day when they would have a child, as she was getting older and feared she wouldn't have the energy to help care for their child in the future.
She had always done her best to support them, hoping to make their lives easier so they could earn money and build a new house sooner.
But it turned out it was all a lie! They had already decided to divorce and had been deceiving her all along!
The greater her hopes, the deeper her disappointment. Her mental state had completely collapsed, leading her to say those harsh words.
As Mother Zhou listened to everyone's words and gazed at the vast sea, she felt both anxious and heartbroken.
Zhou Chenglei had been restless all day. Then, Father Zhou caught a sunfish while fishing, and the sky turned dark and stormy in the afternoon, indicating a heavy rain was coming. They decided to head home early.
Mother Zhou didn't have to wait long before she saw the silhouette of their fishing boat approaching.
She waved frantically, urging them to dock quickly.
Zhou Chenglei saw his mother and Zhou Zhou, but there was no sign of his wife.
If nothing had happened, Jiang Xia wouldn't have missed the boat, and his mother seemed very anxious.
Zhou Chenglei's heart sank, and he increased the boat's speed.
As soon as the boat docked, Mother Zhou jumped aboard, "A-Lei, hurry, drive the boat to the city! Xia Xia left, I made her leave!"
Zhou Chenglei felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank. What did she mean by Jiang Xia leaving, and being driven away by his mother?
Father Zhou was also stunned, "What happened? Why did you make Xia Xia leave?"
Zhou Chenglei looked at his mother.
Mother Zhou explained, "This morning, Wen Wan brought me a few letters, claiming they were from that man to Xia Xia. Then, Ah Hua told me that Xia Xia and A-Lei had already decided to divorce. I couldn't control myself and made her leave! Later, Xia Xia took those letters to the production team and caused a scene at Wen Wan's house. It turned out that the letters were written in Xia Xia's handwriting by Wen Wan, not by Xia Xia herself. I heard Wen Wan even called that man to come pick Xia Xia up. After Xia Xia proved she didn't write those letters, she left on the production team's tractor and went back to the city."
The situation was too complex, and Mother Zhou couldn't explain it all in a few words. But Zhou Chenglei got the gist of it.
He jumped off the boat and ran.
Zhou Zhou called out to him, "Uncle, Auntie said she would get an introduction letter from the production team to stay at a hotel in town."
She wasn't sure if Auntie had taken the tractor back to the city or gone to town, but she did know that Auntie had mentioned getting an introduction letter.
Hearing this, Zhou Chenglei ran directly to the production team.
He needed to find out if Jiang Xia had obtained an introduction letter to go to the city. If she was going back to the city, she could go home without an introduction letter. But if she was staying at a hotel in town, she would need one.
After confirming the situation at the production team and taking the two letters, Zhou Chenglei felt as if his heart was being crushed and ground under a stone mill.
He borrowed a bicycle from the production team and raced towards the town.
