Chapter 211: Construction
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"What's there to shop about in the mountains? Isn't it too black-hearted to sell a bowl of braised rice at such a high price?" After Gu Li finished speaking, she even frowned, as if she felt that this matter was not very reliable.
After all, a bowl of noodles with meat and eggs in the countryside was not more than two yuan.
A bowl of braised meat rice was sold for three yuan. Even if the food was delicious, no one would buy it.
Moreover, not everyone in the city was rich. If a bowl of braised meat rice cost three yuan, how could they survive in the future?
"Well
Hu Lin didn't expect Gu Li to ask this. Although a bowl of braised pork rice that cost three yuan was a little expensive, he felt that it was completely worth it. Moreover, in this day and age, those who were willing to spend money to travel probably didn't lack the money for a bowl of braised pork rice.
He said, "You don't have to worry about that at all. After our scenic area is developed, we won't lack people at all. Moreover, most of the people who can come to travel are rich."
Gu Li still disagreed. "No matter how rich you are, you can't extort customers, right? Three yuan for a
bowl of rice is still too expensive. Moreover, since you're asking us to sell it, can we lower the price?
Hu Lin's expression turned ugly. He knew that the villagers were simple and honest, but he didn't expect them to be so honest. "I don't have any objections if you want to set a lower price. It's just that we might not earn so much when the time comes."
"That's not a problem!" Gu Li said, "I don't care how much the scenic spot is priced, but the food can't be sold at too high a price. Otherwise, those tourists who come here to travel will think that the scenery is good, but the food is too expensive. What if they refuse to come next time?"
"If you want to do business, you can't be too anxious. You have to take it one step at a time." Gu Li kept nagging. Hu Lin didn't feel annoyed. Instead, he felt that Gu Li's words made sense.
As businessmen, they had to rely on their conscience! They could not let their hearts down!
As expected, he was still young. He could not be too anxious about earning money.
Hu Lin said, "You have a point, but how much do you plan to price it?"
Gu Li thought for a long time. "1.50 yuan. I'll add on another braised egg."
Hu Lin's lips twitched when he heard this. "Thatls too cheap. Can we earn money?"
Gu Li smiled. "I can earn money if tourists come over. If I really can't earn it, I can take it back and eat it myself."
Hearing this, Hu Lin was surprised again.
No wonder Gu Li could earn money. With such awareness, it would be strange if she didn't earn money!
He said, "Well said! Since you set the price so low, I can't set it too high. How about this? When the back mountain is built, I'll only charge five yuan for the tickets!"
Song Yao smiled. "Boss Hu, what are you planning to do with the back mountain?"
Hu Lin had originally planned to buy the entire Song Manor, but he didn't have that much money at the moment. He could only buy the back mountain first.
He said, "I want to build a fish pond and a Go Club. I want to build an amusement park at the back of the mountain so that adults can come over to fish and children can come over to play."
Song Yao nodded. She had to admit that Hu Lin's idea was not bad. Now, many people in the city wanted to come to the countryside to experience life after living a good life.
However, Song Yao seemed to have a better idea. She said, "Boss Hu, when do you plan to start work?"
Hu Lin didn't hide it. "The sooner the better on the fifth of this month."
Song Yao looked at the calendar behind her. It was already the 3rd today, which meant that work would start in less than two days.
"Actually, I have a better idea. I wonder if Boss Hu is willing to hear it."
"A better idea? Tell me about it." Hu Lin tilted his head. He was curious. Song Yao was a country bumpkin. What good suggestion could she have?
Song Yao said, "First of all, your original intention was to let more people in the city experience the joy of the countryside, right?"
"In that case, we can't just build the Go Club and the fish pond. Think about it. City people can't just fish when they come to the countryside. We can try to let them experience farming, picking, digging wild vegetables, and so on. In addition, I think they must stay for a night since they came all the way to the village to play. There's no guesthouse nearby. If they want to stay, they have to drive to the town .."
"I get it! You mean for me to pay for a bus!"
Hu Lin interrupted Song Yao.. Putting everything else aside, Song Yao's words hit the nail on the head!

Chapter 212: Guesthouse
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"What I mean is to build two guest houses..." Song Yao's tone was a little helpless. She had wanted to open a guest house for a long time. Wasn't this an opportunity?
Hu Lin was stunned when he heard this. "Build a guesthouse? Isn't it good for them to stay in the town when they're done playing?"
Song Yao's face darkened. "Before doing business, you should consider it from the perspective of the consumer. He's already tired after playing for an entire day. He can't wait to find a place to sleep immediately. How can he have the energy to take a car to the guest house in town?"
When Hu Lin heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense. Compared to Song Yao, his thoughts were too childish. No wonder his father always said that he couldn't compare to his brother.
He said, "What you said makes sense, but building a guesthouse in the village will definitely cost a lot of money, right? I have limited funds on hand. The remaining money can only buy a bus."
Song Yao: "It'S fine. You can buy the bus."
"Huh?" Hu Lin was dumbfounded. 'Then are we going to build a guesthouse?" It had to be said that he was confused by Song Yao.
Song Yao: "Of course, but you don't have to worry about that. I'll arrange it."
Hu Lin was dumbfounded. "You'll arrange it? Then how much rent do I have to give you a year?"
Song Yao smiled. "I don't want rent."
"...If you don't want the rent, then I can't take advantage of you for nothing, right?"
Hu Lin was completely confused by Song Yao.
Song Yao continued, "I don't want the rent because I want to become a shareholder. I'll take 40% of the money you earn."
Speaking of investing, this was a new term that Song Yao had learned when she went to the capital a few days ago.
Life in the capital was faster than in small places. While small places were busy setting up street stalls, the people in the capital had already opened physical shops.
The streets and alleys were filled with a dazzling array of clothing and food shops.
She had even specially asked the boss. The rent and purchases were not low. It was not supported by one person at all. There had to be at least two partners.
One was in charge of restocking the goods, one was in charge of managing the money, and the other was in charge of watching the shop.
Song Yao was not in a hurry to open a shop in the capital. After all, her college entrance examination was in June, and it was only March now.
However, Song Yao wanted to settle her family down before she went to the capital so that she could be at ease.
Thinking of this, Song Yao continued, "Not only the guesthouse, but I'll also pay for the braised meat shop. As long as you give me 40% of the profits, everything else can be discussed."
Hu Lin frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect Song Yao to know about investing. This was different from the countryside woman he had imagined. It was just that 40% seemed to be a little too much..
"Is 30% okay? I can give you the rent." However, Song Yao said, "No, only 40%!"
Hu Lin frowned. "Well...
Song Yao said, "Boss Hu, I know what you're worried about, but like you said, as long as the scenic area opens, there's no need to worry about having no one visit. Moreover, I'll think of a way to get everyone around to come to the scenic area to play, so this 40% profit isn't much."
Hu Lin was still hesitating. When Song Yao said that she would think of a way to get everyone around to come to the scenic area to play, he asked, "Do you have any way to make more people come to the scenic area?"
Song Yao: "Before the park opens, do more publicity around the area. There's no need to be extravagant. Just say that it's a original ecological scenic area and it allows people to experience the joy of the people in the mountains. It will attract the people around to play. If their experience is not bad, give them gifts and let them do more publicity through word-of-mouth."
After hearing Song Yao's words, Hu Lin said, "Not bad. This not only saves the publicity costs, but also increases its popularity."
It had to be said that Song Yao was very smart. He also believed that as long as the garden opened, business would definitely be booming! However, 40% profit... seemed a little too much.
Thinking of this, Hu Lin said, "Can't it be less?"
Song Yao still shook her head.
Hu Lin frowned. Forty percent was a little too much, but what if the scenic area became popular? Would he be able to compete with his big brother then?
Thinking of his father's bias... In the end, Hu Lin gritted his teeth and compromised. "Then 40%! As long as you can earn money, I'll give you 60%!"
However, Song Yao was a principled person. She wouldn't take money that wasn't hers.
She smiled. "Forget about sixty percent. I only want forty percent.."

Chapter 213: Signing the Contract
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Then sign the contract!" With that, Hu Lin pulled the portfolio from his briefcase.
He had brought the file over today to buy the recipe for braised pork rice from Song Yao. He did not expect to become partners with Song Yao.
He signed his name on the paper. "I'll let you have forty percent. But I have a request. I'm not sure you can agree to it."
Song Yao put down her pen and paper. "Go ahead. "
Hu Lin said, "Since I've already made a huge concession, can I your braised meat rice any time in the future?"
Hearing this, Song Yao and Gu Li looked at each other. The mother and daughter didn't expect the braised food to be so popular. Even the big boss from the south liked to eat this!
However, Hu Lin thought that Song Yao and her daughter were unwilling and immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't eat for free. How about this? I'll pay half of the renovation fee for your guesthouse!"
She didn't expect Hu Lin to be so generous! Song Yao couldn't help but laugh, "You can eat the braised meat rice as you please! As for the renovation fee you mentioned just now... we have a deal!"
"Huh?" Hu Lin paused, as if he felt that he had suffered a loss.
However, the renovation fee was not a big deal to him. He said, "Then where do you plan to build the guest house? Your courtyard? But I remember that it's not easy to apply for the homestead..."
Song Yao said, "It's my family's courtyard, but there's more than one set. Xiao and I can also apply for another two sets. When the time comes, we can build them together. The bigger the better."
Song Yao had thought it through. In any case, she was going to live in the capital in the future. The homestead in the countryside was useless to her, so she might as well use it to build a homestay.
"When the time comes, you don't have to spend too much money on renovation. It's fine as long as it's comfortable and considerate. Perhaps tourists just come over to relax and experience the life of a country bumpkin."
After saying that, Song Yao thought for a long time. She really didn't know much about this. Moreover, most of it was learned from books. It didn't seem to be the same thing if she really put it into practice.
"But I heard that in this situation, we have to go to town to do another procedure. Do you know what it is?"
Hu Lin didn't know either. He frowned and said, "1 really don't know! I'll go to the village authorities tomorrow and ask."
At night, Hu Lin was about to go back after chatting with Song Yao. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got up, he heard a commotion outside the door.
He whispered, "Did a neighbor drop by your house?"
Gu Li was also shocked. "You didn't come so late, right?"
Unexpectedly, just as she finished speaking, she heard a mutter. "Grandma! Why is the room where this little brat sleeps so difficult to find!"
Right on the heels of that, an old woman's voice sounded in his ears again. "Hurry up and find him! If we wake that little b*tch Song Yao up, I won't be able to carry my eldest grandson back!"
This sounded like... Chen Lian's voice!
Thinking of Chen Lian's harsh words during the day, Gu Li was shocked!
Oh no, oh no. Chen Lian wouldn't really get someone to steal the child, right?
Song Yao was so anxious that she wanted to run upstairs. Baby Xuan was still asleep upstairs!
The family scrambled upstairs, leaving Hu Lin alone in a daze.
"Where are you going?"
After thinking about it, Hu Lin followed!
On the second floor, Yu Wen fumbled his way up.
There was silence upstairs. Yu Wen jumped over the window and carefully walked towards the bed.
Baby Xuan, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, did not notice that danger was approaching him.
Yu Wen had already taken out the knockout powder he had prepared and was about to stuff Baby Xuan into the sack when all the lights in the room lit up!
Song Yao brought Gu Li to him. "Brother, what are you doing? Stealing the child?"
'You... Why aren't you asleep?" Yu Wen stammered when Song Yao caught him stealing the child. He almost threw Baby Xuan to the ground.
Fortunately, Baby Xuan woke up and cried for his mother.
Yu Wen panicked even more. "Yao, I just want to come over and see the child! Don't misunderstand!" "Is that so?" Song Yao sneered. "Then why didn't you come in through the front door? I think you're trying to steal the child, right?"
"What are you talking about!"
Perhaps because she had hit the nail on the head, Yu Wen became much more nervous. "Yu... Yu Xuan is our Old Yu family's flesh and blood! So what if I want to bring him back? Don't stop me from seeing the child just because you're Yu Xuan's caregiver!"
"Don't forget! If you really want to talk about it, you still owe Yong an explanation!"

Chapter 214: Dropping Into the Pit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
"Oh? What explanation do I owe you guys?" Song Yao looked at Yu Wen in amusement.
To think that she used to think that he was an honest person. She didn't expect the entire Yu family to be the same!
Yu Wen shouted at the top of his lungs, "You got married less than a year after your divorce! It's obvious that you've been with him for a long time! A promiscuous woman like you! Are you worthy of Yong?"
Song Yao found it even more funny. "You said that I got married in less than a year, but what about Yu Yong? He got married to Pang Jiao less than half a year after divorcing me!"
"So what?" Yu Wen put his hands on his hips. "Men get married to carry on the family line! Unlike you women!"
He glared at Song Yao as if he wanted to eat her up. Song Yao was not afraid of him. "Since it's to carry on the family line, how many children did Pang Jiao give birth to? Why did she come to my house to steal children?"
Yu Wen's expression changed. He wanted to say that since ancient times, the child had to belong to the father. Wasn't the mother just a fetal device for giving birth?
Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, the door was opened again. Zuo Huo and Song Xiao entered the house, followed by Chen Lian, who was in a sorry state.
"Mom!" Yu Wen walked forward and smelled a stench on Chen Lian!
The smell was very unpleasant. Even Yu Wen, who was always cursing, could not help but cover his mouth and nose. "What did you do to my mother?!"
Song Xiao grabbed Yu Wen's collar and shouted at him, "Don't be arrogant! Your mother fell into the latrine pit, but I saved her!"
"Bullsh*t!" Yu Wen shouted at Song Xiao, only to find that his hands were stained with a lot of dirty things.
"If it weren't for you! My mother wouldn't have fallen into the latrine!"
He walked forward and pulled Chen Lian back. "Mom! It's all my fault! If I had gone back earlier, you wouldn't have been captured by these brats!"
Chen Lian's expression was ugly. How could she have known that Yu Wen had only gone upstairs to steal the child when she was caught by Song Yao's brother?
She was so frightened that she took a shortcut and ran. She did not expect to miss a step and fall into a latrine!
Thinking of this, Chen Lian was on the brink of tears. She wished she could find a hole to hide in immediately.
Song Xiao glared at Chen Lian. "Didn't you two sneak into my house in the middle of the night to steal my nephew back?"
Chen Lian still wanted to defend herself. "This... I didn't! I'm just here to see my grandson!"
Zuo Huo said coldly, "Save these words for the police! "
"You... How could you call the police!" Chen Lian was furious. "I just wanted to see my grandson! Do you have to do this?"
Song Yao's face darkened. "You better be here to see your grandson!"
Chen Lian was so angry that she wanted to say more, but Yu Wen said, "Alright, Mom! You can't explain yourself to such an unfaithful and unfilial woman!"
"Yes! Mom and I are here to ask for the child this time! But so what? It'S not illegal for Grandma to want to see her grandson! Since you're married, the child should belong to our Yu family! You're really petty to call the police for such a small matter!"
After he finished speaking, he wanted to snatch the child from Song Yao's arms, but Baby Xuan dodged when he saw Yu Wen. As he dodged, he cried, "Mommy, save me! This uncle is going to eat me! Mommy, save me!"
Chen Lian stomped her feet in anger. "I'm your Grandma! He's your uncle! We're your family!
Grandson! Come to Grandma quickly!"
"No!" Baby Xuan shouted and cried even harder.
Song Yao hurriedly protected Baby Xuan. "Give up. No matter what, I won't give the child to you!"
"What did you say? If not for Yong! Can you have this child? Now that you're married! Why can't you give this child to me?!"
Chen Lian pounced on Song Yao like she had gone crazy, but she was pushed away by Zuo Huo. "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you! What did Song Yao say when she divorced Yu Yong? Where did you get the face to steal the child now?"
Chen Lian was pushed heavily to the ground, and Yu Wen's heart ached even more. "Zuo Huo, right? Don't think that I won't dare to deal with you just because you were in the army before! Let me tell you! Even Yu Yong can't beat me, let alone you!"
After Yu Wen finished speaking, he bumped into Zuo Huo. Unexpectedly, Zuo Huo dodged and Yu Wen fell flat on his face!

Chapter 215: Petty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She didn't expect the Yu family to be the same idiots!
Zuo Huo narrowed his eyes and said, "Firstly, your mother attacked first. Secondly, I did it to protect Song Yao!"
As soon as Zuo Huo finished speaking, he squatted down and said to Baby Xuan, "Child, don't be afraid. Daddy is here."
Baby Xuan threw himself into Zuo Huo•s arms with red eyes and cried non-stop. "Dad, can I ask the police to arrest them?"
Zuo Huo raised his eyebrows and glanced at Chen Lian and Yu Wen. "Do you hate them?"
Baby Xuan nodded.
Zuo Huo smiled and got up to answer the call.
This made Chen Lian anxious!
She couldn't care less about Baby Xuan anymore. She cried and knelt in front of Song Yao. "You can't call the police! If you call the police, what will happen to Wen's child? He still has a family to support!"
Thinking of the children at home, Yu Wen began to feel afraid. He pointed at Song Yao and scolded, "You're so petty! Isn't it just a child? We didn't succeed! Why are you calling the police?"
Yes, they didn't succeed, but it still constituted an attempt!
Song Yao picked up the phone and said, "Save this for the police!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Yao had already called the police. Chen Lian was so angry that her face turned purple. "Song Yao! You really aren't leaving Wen a way out!"
Perhaps because she felt that her son would be done for if he was captured by the police, Chen Lian decided to a vicious cycle. She grabbed the scissors and wanted to throw them at Song Yao. "Song Yao! You b*tch! If Wen really goes to jail, I'll kill you!"
"Be careful!" Zuo Huo stepped forward and grabbed Chen Lian tightly. However, he was still a step too late. Chen Liants scissors flew out and landed on Song Yao...
"Yao!"
"Mom!"
Song Yao felt an abnormal pain on her body. Blood kept flowing out of her body, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier...
When Song Yao woke up, she could only smell the pungent smell of disinfectant.
She opened her eyes and realized that she was wrapped in bandages. The doctor was talking to Zuo Huo. "Her injuries aren't serious, but she still needs to rest for a few days."
Zuo Huo frowned. "Don't worry, I'll take good care of her."
The doctor shook his head and left.
Zuo Huo sighed and turned around to see that Song Yao had woken up. His eyes were red as he hugged Song Yao. "You're awake? Does it still hurt?"
Song Yao held her forehead. "Zuo Huo, how many days have I slept?"
Zuo Huo: "One day."
Song Yao sighed. For some reason, she felt like she had slept for a few days. She remembered that she had a very long dream. In the dream...
"Where's Chen Lian?"
Zuo Huo pulled Song Yao into his arms. "She's already been taken away by the police. Yao... I'm sorry. I didn't protect you well..."
Zuo Huo frowned and his expression was very ugly. Especially when he saw Song Yao suffer Chen Lian's attack, he wanted to beat himself up!
Song Yao smiled and pulled him back. "It's not your fault."
Zuo Huo's face darkened. "How can you not blame me? If I could block the knife for you, I would feel much better now. I really wish that the person who was stabbed was me...
"Stop it!" Song Yao pressed his mouth. "You've done enough. At least since we were together, you've never done anything to make me sad."
Zuo Huo hugged her. "Isn't that what I should do? If I can't even do such a small thing, then what's the difference between me and that bastard Yu Yong?"
The two of them hugged each other. Perhaps it was because they had not been intimate for too long, the two of them started kissing.
Outside the door...
"Sister! Mom made chicken soup for you!"
Song Xiao pushed open the door rashly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw Song Yao and Zuo Huo hugging and kissing.
The young man who had never had a girlfriend had never seen such a scene.
He was in a hurry to put down the chicken soup. "Um... Sis! Drink the chicken soup while it's hot... leave first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Song Yao could react, Song Xiao had already pushed open the door and left with a red face.
Only then did Song Yao realize what she had just done with Zuo Huo! She punched Zuo Huo's chest anxiously. "Why didn't you tell me that Xiao was coming?"
Zuo Huo could not help but laugh. "I didn't know he was coming..."
Song Yao's face turned red.
At that time, girls were very conservative. Even if they held hands with their men on the streets, they would feel embarrassed, let alone kiss!
"I... How am I going to face people in the future!"
"Why can't we see anyone?" Zuo Huo brought the chicken soup that Song Xiao brought over and fed it to Song Yao. "It's very normal to kiss overseas. We didn't do anything shameful.. Why should we be embarrassed?"

Chapter 216: Revenge
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At night, Song Yao drank the chicken soup and fell asleep on the bed.
Zuo Huo tucked Song Yao in and pushed open the door to the room next door.
Tang Cheng was standing in the room next door. When he saw Zuo Huo enter, he asked, "How's Sister-in-law?"
Zuo Huo's face darkened. "Better."
"I didn't expect Yu Yong's family to be so ruthless!" Tang Cheng gritted his teeth and looked at Zuo
Huo. "Tell me, how do you want me to take revenge?"
Zuo Huo's face darkened. If possible, he wished he could chop up Yu Yong's entire family!
"How are Yu Wen and his mother now?"
Tang Cheng looked at Zuo Huo. "I heard from my friend at the police station that the mother and son have been arrested. Chen Lian might be sentenced to a few years, and Yu Wen is also detained."
"Yes," Zuo Huo said. "That's good too. Take it as a lesson for them!"
"What about Yu Yong and Pang Jiao?" Tang Cheng asked. "Are you going to let them go?"
Zuo Huo sneered. "Don't worry. I don't believe that their mother and brother can relax much after being imprisoned."
"Moreover, if we want to touch them, we have to think about it at length. Yu Yong is not in the army now. We can't catch him."
Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng was speechless. "Captain Zuo! Ever since you got married, I realized that you've changed a lot. You're completely different from before!"
If it was in the past, Zuo Huo would probably have impulsively gone to Yu Yong and beaten him up. However, now that he was married, Zuo Huo seemed to have restrained himself a lot.
Tang Cheng smiled. "Sister-in-law is so good at discipline! You're much more mature than before!"
As soon as these words were spoken, although Zuo Huo did not like to hear them, the corners of his lips curled up. "Yes, you're right. Yao taught me well, so I can't see anything happen to her!"
Tang Cheng laughed and teased, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're really a wife-doting maniac! So when do you plan to return to the office? Yesterday, Uncle Zuo asked me to drink. He even said that you've changed a lot since you got married. You don't even pay attention to work!"
Zuo Huo chuckled again.
Speaking of which, he really couldn't bear to part with Song Yao. Although Song Yao would be able to return to the capital to reunite with him in three months at most, these three months were extremely difficult for Zuo Huo!
He said, "I'll go back after dealing with this matter. As for Pang Jiao, I'll have to trouble you to keep an eye on her."
Tang Cheng replied, "Don't worry, Brother!"
After saying that, he frowned again. "But... I think I met Pang Jiao at the entrance of the steel factory yesterday. She seems to be close to an old man..." Zuo Huo's face darkened. "Is it still that man?"
Tang Cheng nodded. "Yes, it's him!"
Zuo Huo said, "Okay, then continue to keep an eye on it. If there's any movement, remember to tell me."
On Yu Yong's side, the village chief, Li En, had just come. When he found out that his mother and brother had been arrested by the police for deliberately hurting people, he almost couldn't stand still. "They were taken away just like that?" Yu Yong's tone was a little worried, but it was more anger.
His mother and brother were really incompetent and could only ruin things. Each of them was stupider than the other! They could not even do such a small thing well!
When He Xi learned of this unexpected news, she cried anxiously. "What if my child's father goes in?
What about my second and third child? My eldest child is going to get into high school next year!"
He Xi sat on the ground and completely broke down. She was just an ignorant rural woman. Her parents had passed away early. If something happened to Yu Wen, she would not be able to survive with her child!
Yu Yong was even more frustrated. "Sister-in -law! Can you stop?"
He Xi's eyes were red from crying. She knelt in front of Yu Yong with a plop. "Yong! Please save your brother. We can't live without him! Our eldest is waiting to get into high school, and the second and third are also waiting to spend money!"
"Sister-in-law! What are you doing?!" Yu Yong's tone was very displeased. Didn't he want to save his mother and brother? But this matter wasn't that simple!
'What happened? Why is it so noisy?" Pang Jiao came out of the bedroom in her silk pajamas and saw He Xi kneeling in front of Yu Yong in old clothes and crying. Yu Yong's expression was even uglier.
"Eh? Why isn't Mom back yet?"
Pang Jiao looked around.. "Where's Big Brother?"

Chapter 217: Letter of Understanding
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Yong frowned. "Jiaojiao, Mom and Brother were arrested by the police."
"What?" Pang Jiao was also very surprised to hear this news, especially when she found out that Chen Lian had been arrested by the police. Pang Jiao felt even happier! However, in order to continue pretending, Pang Jiao said with red eyes, "Why is it so sudden?"
Yu Yong frowned. "Jiaojiao, let'S go to the police station."
"Okay..."
A few minutes later, Pang Jiao held Yu Yong's arm and entered the police station. Behind her was He Xi, who was holding the hands of the two children.
To be honest, this was not Pang Jiao's first time at the police station.
As soon as Yu Yong entered, the police officer who interrogated him last time said, "I didn't expect to see you again. This matter is much more complicated than last time!"
Yu Yong's face darkened. "Officer, if you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes! Police officer!" He Xi wiped her tears and said, "What did my man do? How long will he be locked
"This... We haven't received any notice yet." The police officer sighed and said to Yu Yong, "Let me briefly tell you the cause and effect of the matter. It's that your brother secretly sneaked into Song Yao's house to steal the child. He failed and had an argument with Song Yao. During the argument, Song Yao decided to call the police. Your mother was agitated and threw a pair of scissors to hurt Song Yao."
Song Yao, it was Song Yao again!
Yu Yong clenched his fists. Why had Song Yao been jinxing him ever since he got a divorce?
He had lost his job in the army because of Song Yao. Now that his mother was facing jail time, it was related to Song Yao!
Yu Yong clenched his fists. "And then? Is it convenient for you to reveal the details? For example, how many years might my mother and brother be sentenced to?"
"This... I can't say for sure." The police officer shook his head. "But if I remember correctly, your brother was convicted of attempted theft and will be sentenced to about a year, right? As for your mother... We Imow that the victim, Song Yao, is seriously injured and is currently hospitalized. I think her sentence won't be too light... However."
"But what?" Yu Yong was agitated and thought that there was hope.
The police officer said, "If I remember correctly, a lawyer friend of mine told me in the past that if I get the victim's understanding, the law will deal with this matter leniently."
When he heard the words 'lenient treatment', Yu Yong seemed to have a straw to clutch at. He held the police officer's hand and said, "Comrade! Thank you so much!"
"It'S fine." The police officer smiled. "I can understand your family's feelings, but as a police officer, I
still have to advise you. I hope that your family can turn over a new leaf after coming out."
"Don't worry, Officer!" Yu Yong agreed. "I'll tell my Mom and Eldest Brother!"
After leaving the police station, Yu Yong kept thinking about looking for Song Yao to write a letter of understanding. He Xi, on the other hand, could not stop crying.
Although a year was not long, He Xi was an honest rural woman. Although she had three sons, they were all underage. Moreover, He Xi was just a woman. Without her mother-in-law and a man, she would probably be in a difficult situation in the future!
"Cry, cry, cry! You only know how to cry! If Brother sees you like this, he'll probably be even angrier!" Yu Yong was very impatient and couldn't help but say to He Xi.
He Xi sniffed and stopped crying. "Yong! Is your brother really going to be arrested?" Yu Yong's face darkened. "Sister-in-law, there's nothing I can do about this."
"But..." He Xi recalled what the police had just said. "But the police just said that if the victim understands, they will be punished lightly."
She knelt in front of Yu Yong. "Yong, can you help Sister-in-law? Mom needs to be saved, and so does your brother. Can you ask Song Yao to help write a letter of understanding?"
Yu Yong looked impatient!
"Sister-in-law, can you get up first?"
He Xi'S eyes were red. "No! If you don't agree, I'll kneel for a long time!"
Yu Yong rolled his eyes. "But Sister-in-law, do you think I don't want to save Mom and Brother? But don't you think that the letter of understanding is so easy? Don't forget that Song Yao refuses to see me now."
At the mention of this, Yu Yong sighed.
This was what he was worried about now.
Writing a letter of understanding was not difficult. If he was asked to write it, he would at least write ten or eight letters. As long as he could save his mother and brother, he would do anything.
Unfortunately, it had to be a letter of understanding written by Song Yao to be useful. Thinking of his relationsmp witn song Yao, yu Yong reli Into aeep tnougnt.
Could Song Yao agree to write a letter of understanding?

Chapter 218: Pleading
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After hearing Yu Yongs words, He Xi took a while to react. She held Yu Yong's hand and said, "You mean, you want me to beg Song Yao to write a letter of understanding?"
Yu Yong nodded with difficulty. "Sister-in-law, I know this is very difficult for you. After all, you had a good relationship with Song Yao before, but Brother is definitely going to jail now. Can you bear to watch him be locked up for more than a year?"
Upon hearing this, He Xi's eyes immediately turned red.
Of course, she couldn't bear to. Men were her heavens. If there was no man at home, how could she continue to stay in the Yu Family Village with her three sons?
Moreover, wasn't it just a letter of understanding from Song Yao? A kind person like Song Yao wouldn't reject her! Even if she didn't want to, couldn't she just beg her?
At the thought of this, although He Xi was not confident, she gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed. "Then I'll give it a try."
At night, Song Yao was drinking the pork trotter soup Zuo Huo had sent over in her room. Baby Xuan was still crying at the side,
She had to admit that what had happened last night had impacted Baby Xuan too much. He could not forget the scene of the old woman throwing the scissors at his mother.
Song Yao's tone was even more helpless. She forced herself to pick up Baby Xuanand said, "It'S alright.
Baby Xuan, don't be afraid. Mommy is here."
However, it was fine if she did not comfort him. With this comforting, Baby Xuan cried even harder.
Song Yao and Zuo Huo coaxed him for a long time. Zuo Huo bought Baby Xuan a lot of his favorite snacks and toys. Only then did Baby Xuan sniff and stop crying.
"Mom... don't be afraid..." Baby Xuan held the toy gun and said, "I'll protect you!"
Song Yao was so touched that she panicked. "Silly Baby Xuan, Mommy doesn't need your protection yet. It should be Mommy protecting you now. Daddy is protecting Mommy."
Baby Xuan tilted his head and said in a childish voice, "Daddy protects Mommy? Then I'll protect Daddy."
"Protect Daddy?" Zuo Huo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Silly Baby Xuan, we should be the ones protecting you now."
The family of three was having a sweet time in the ward when an uninvited guest hurriedly pushed open the door.
Zuo Huo turned around and saw He Xi entering the ward with a basket of apples.
"Yao... I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you..." After saying that, she placed the apple on the bedside table and did not forget to tease the child.
"Baby Xuan, why are you so unfamiliar with me? I'm your eldest aunt."
He Xi smiled and wanted to hug Baby Xuan.
However, when Baby Xuan saw He Xi, he hid beside Zuo Huo as if he could not avoid her.
Zuo Huo shielded Baby Xuan behind him and said calmly, "I'm sorry, my child is still young and a little shy."
Zuo Huo did not have a good impression of Baby Xuan's so-called Eldest Aunt. He hated the entire Yu family because of Chen Lian, and He Xi was no exception.
Moreover, judging from the time, He Xi should already know that Chen Lian and Yu Wen were in jail. Why did she come to see Song Yao as if nothing had happened?
From what Zuo Huo could tell, He Xi was up to no good!
However, Song Yao did not know the purpose of He Xi's visit. After all, she had gotten along well with He Xi in the past. Even if she was divorced from Yu Yong, He Xi was still her former sister-in-law. She still had to be polite.
Song Yao smiled and said, "Why are you here? Take a seat!"
"There's no need to sit." He Xi pursed her lips and continued, "Yao, other than coming to see you today, I have something more important to do."
Song Yao smiled. "Tell me, what is it?"
"Actually... it's not a big deal." He Xi paused and felt a little embarrassed. "This matter might be very simple for you, but it's as important to us as a straw to clutch at. You're such a kind person. You'll help me, right?"
As soon as He Xi finished speaking, Song Yao was a little confused. Just as she was about to tell He Xi that she had something to say, He Xi said, "Yao, you heard about my man going to jail, right?"
She gritted her teeth. "To be honest, it's my mother-in-law's fault for hurting you, but my man didn't do anything after all. Moreover, we were a family before this. You can't just watch your former mother-in-law and eldest uncle go to jail, right? That's why I came here today to ask you to help me."
After He Xi finished speaking, she could not help but cry again. "Yong has already asked around. As long as you're willing to write a letter ot understanding, my man and my mother-in-law won't be locked up for long... Yao, you're the kindest.. You'll help me, right?"

Chapter 219: Reject
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After He Xi finished speaking, she stared at Song Yao and cried for a long time.
Song Yao's expression turned ugly. She finally understood He Xi's words.
Chen Lian and Yu Wen were facing jail time because of what happened yesterday. She should be here to beg her this time.
Song Yao said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. Do you want me to write a letter of understanding?"
Upon hearing this, He Xi fell to her knees in front of Song Yao. "Yao, I've never asked you for anything, but this concerns how our family will live in the future! Please help me this time on account that we were sisters-in-law in the past. Our entire family will remember your kindness!"
Hearing this, Zuo Huo couldn't help but laugh.
What did he say? Sure enough, He Xi had nothing good to say to Song Yao. So it was about Yu Wen!
He sneered. "Why didn't he think about how a family should live before he stole the child? Wasn't he the one who did this?"
"I..." He Xi choked and her expression turned even uglier. However, when she thought about how her man would go to jail in the future, He Xi made up her mind and said, "Yao, I know this might be a little difficult for you, but my son's school book said that saving a life is better than building a
seven-story pagoda. On account that we used to be on good terms, help me one last time. I'll kowtow to you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Xi kowtowed several times.
Song Yao's expression turned even uglier. She propped herself up and helped He Xi up from the ground. "Don't be like this!"
He Xi had already kowtowed until her head was bleeding. "Yao, you agreed, right?"
Song Yao's expression was ugly. "I'm sorry, I can't agree to this."
With a thud, He Xi fell to the ground. "Why?"
Didn't Yu Yong say that as long as she went to Song Yao and begged her to write a letter of understanding, Song Yao would definitely write it?
Why was it different from what she had imagined?
"Yao, help Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law has no way out, so she came to look for you."
"If my man goes to jail, what will happen to my three children?"
He Xi cried in front of Song Yao. Song Yao pushed He Xi's hand away. "I really can't help you with this. Since Yu Wen wanted to steal my child, he should pay the price."
Upon hearing this, He Xi was completely dumbfounded. Tears welled up in her eyes like spring water. "Song Yao! How can you be so heartless? It's Yuwen's fault for stealing the child, but he didn't succeed either, right?"
Song Yao found it even more funny. "He didn't manage to steal the child, but he wanted to him in the beginning! This is also illegal under the law! Do you understand?"
He Xi didn't know much either. She knelt in front of Song Yao. "But Yuwen didn't do anything! Yao, please help Sister-in-law."
Song Yao pushed her away. "Sister-in-law, I really can't help you with such things."
Song Yao insisted on not writing a letter of understanding. He Xi broke down and cried. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Song Yao! Are you even human?! Yu Wen used to be your elder brother-in-law after all. How can you be so heartless!"
Song Yao sneered. "I don't have a conscience? Why don't you ask your family if they have a conscience? Yu Wen sneaked into my house in the middle of the night to steal Baby Xuan! Shouldn't I pursue the matter? Your man's life is his life. Isn't our Baby Xuan's life his life?"
"But you shouldn't be so heartless!" He Xi shouted at Song Yao. "I'm just asking for a letter of understanding from you! Do you have to talk about such principles in front of me? I'm a farmer! I don't understand! But I know that what you're doing is even worse than killing me!"
After He Xi finished speaking, she shouted out of the door at the top of her voice, "Everyone, come and take a look! This cold-hearted woman set up my man to go to jail! I only begged her to let my man go, but she said those big words in front of me! She refused to let my man out no matter what! Tell me! Isn't this kind of woman too vicious!"
After He Xi finished speaking, she fell to the ground and threw a tantrum. Her appearance was exactly the same as her mother-in-law, Chen Lian!
He Xi's loud voice attracted many family members from the ward next door who came to visit the patient. Even the nurse sneaked in.
In the crowd, a "kind-hearted" woman even stood up to support He Xi.. "Sister, you're too pitiful! This woman doesn't look like a good person!"

Chapter 220 Guilt-tripping
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He Xi chimed in, "Sister-in -law, your judgment of people is simply too accurate! Speaking of which, this woman used to be my sister-in -law! But she despised the poor and loved the rich. She abandoned my brother-in-law to be with this man! She didn't even let my brother-in -law see her child!"
"My mother-in-law and brother-in-law cried all day long when they couldn't see the child! They had no choice but to come to her house to secretly meet the child! Who knew that she would find out! She schemed to capture my man and mother-in-law and put them in prison! My man will be sentenced to more than a year in prison! Don't you think this woman is ruthless?"
He Xi cried her heart out. Soon, more passersby who did not know the truth stood up and criticized Song Yao. "How can you be so ruthless? She just wants to see the children once! How can you be so ruthless as to send them to the police station?"
"That's right!" He Xi wiped her tears and continued, "My man hasn't done anything yet, but she wants to send my man in! I just wanted to beg her to show mercy, but she said that my man deserved it! What can I do? I can only beg her again!"
After He Xi finished speaking, she knelt down in front of Song Yao. "Yao, Sister-in-law is kneeling and kowtowing to you in front of so many people. Please write a letter of understanding. If my man goes to jail, how will we live?"
Song Yao's face was cold as she quietly watched He Xi kneel in front of her and distort the truth!
He Xi cried, "Yao, just take it that I'm begging you. I'll kowtow to you, okay? Please don't let my man go to jail!"
After He Xi finished speaking, she kowtowed a few more times. However, even when her head was bleeding, Song Yao did not make a sound.
In the end, the warm-hearted woman could not stand it anymore and pulled He Xi over. "Why are you begging her? If she sues your man, let her sue him! We're upright and not afraid of shadows! It'S not like we really stole the child! What's there to be afraid of?"
He Xi's expression turned even uglier. It was precisely because Yu Wen had really stolen the child that she had begged Song Yao to write a letter of understanding.
"Forget it." He Xi wiped her tears. "I don't want to make things too ugly."
"Seriously! She's just an ex-sister-in-law. What's there to be afraid of?"
The warm-hearted lady's tone was expect better from someone. The onlookers were even angrier on He Xi's behalf
"I don't think that daughter is a good person! She married another man right after getting a divorce. Perhaps the child isn't even her brother-in-law's!"
"That's right, that's right! I think this sister-in -law is really pitiful. Her brother-in -law's family did nothing wrong and was sent to prison by her. She's really ruthless!"
Upon hearing these words, He Xi smiled smugly. She knew that she shouldn't play this smart game with Song Yao at this time.
But she had no choice. Her man was still waiting for her in prison.
"Yao, I beg you. Just write a letter of understanding. My three children can't live without a father." Regarding this, Song Yao's face was even colder.
Initially, she did not want to blow things up, but He Xi had to go too far. Then don't blame her for disregarding their past relationship as sisters-in-law!
"I'm sorry, I can't write it!"
"Why!" The warm -hearted older sister was very angry. "She's already like this. Is it so difficult for you to write a letter of understanding?"
Song Yao smiled coldly. "If it were you, would you write a letter of understanding?"
The woman was dumbfounded. "Why not? If I get together with another man during my marriage, I won't let my ex-husband see the child after the divorce, and I'll even send his family to prison. I'll feel guilty!"
Even the passers-by echoed, "That's right! I know how to write too! How can she be so ruthless! Even if she doesn't care about her former sister-in-law, the people she sent in are her former mother-in-law and eldest uncle after all. How can she be so ruthless?"
Everyone began to discuss. They were all saying that Song Yao was ruthless!
Zuo Huo clenched his fists and was about to call the security officers to chase these troublemakers out when Song Yao tightened her grip on his hand and said calmly, "What if I say that I've never done these things? You can't just listen to one person's words, right?"
"Even if you can't listen to one person's side of the story, isn't it true that you asked your ex-sister-in-law to kneel down to you and personally send her ex-husband's family to prison?" The warm-hearted big sister said righteously, as if Song Yao had done something murderous!
Although Song Yao knew that there were many hypocrites in this world who were generous to others, this was the first time she had seen someone as stupid as the woman in front of her!
She said, "What if I say that my ex-husband's family stole the child and severely injured me with scissors?"
