Chapter 804: Chapter 803: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
Zhou Xuennian stared coldly at Madam Lu, looking at her dry, dark face with protruding cheekbones that made her even more repulsive.
"What kind of trick are you trying to pull again? Iâm telling you, if you want to dig your own grave, do it far away from me. I donât want to end up with you in jail again."
Madam Luâs face turned both blue and white with anger, and she couldnât help but curse, "Zhou Xuennian, youâre just a coward."
Zhou Xuennian sneered, "If youâre not scared, then go ahead, I dare you!"
Madam Lu choked on her words, ground her teeth, and forcefully suppressed her anger, "I wonât argue with you. Do you want to listen or not?"
Zhou Xuennian snorted but said nothing.
Madam Lu then said, "I just overheard something from my mother-in-law, guess what? I think that wild man of Zhou Yingmeiâs has shown up!"
Zhou Xuennian was stunned, "What?"
Madam Lu looked down on him in her heart but knew there was no benefit in continuing to argue, so she shared what she had heard without mincing words, including her own thoughts.
"Look, if that person truly cared, would he ignore us like this? After all, weâre still her brother and sister-in-law, that canât be changed, right?" Madam Lu said, "If he had any resources, wouldnât it be better to find you a position than being a mere accountant?"
Zhou Xuennian realized, and mocked, "You, woman, you really have a knack for plotting. I think you should become an accountant!"
"What do you mean by that!" Madam Luâs face fell.
"Am I wrong? You donât even know if this person exists, and youâre already calculating, isnât that good scheming? Even if he does exist, how do you know if heâs capable? What if heâs a pauper?" Zhou Xuennian said coldly.
Madam Lu snickered, "A pauper who employs servants? Why donât you get yourself a servant then? If youâre so capable!"
"You!"
"My mother-in-law just heard from the second child that the man was once a servant with his person, heâs been using the same person for so many years, what does that tell you?" Madam Lu challenged again.
Zhou Xuennian pondered over it.
"Even if you turn out to be right, and heâs a pauper, so what? Whatâs it to us? Wufu and her family are living well, why should they have it so good while weâre all in misery together?" Madam Lu said viciously.
"Thatâs your true intention, isnât it? You just want revenge on them!"
Madam Lu was caught off guard but didnât deny it, replying coldly, "So what if it is? She ruined us, made my family suffer, why should I be grateful and wish her all the best? Peh! They donât even treat us as kin, do you think youâre a Bodhisattva? I just donât want them to have a good life, what of it!"
Zhou Xuennian looked at her with cold eyes, her crazed gaze made his brow furrow.
"This could be killing two birds with one stone; they will be the ones to suffer. But if that man does have resources, then as your brother-in-law, can he shun you like Wufu?" Madam Lu said to him, "Think it over yourself, isnât that logical? Iâve said my piece! You know how our life is, doesnât Dajun need to get married?"
Zhou Xuennian calmed down, unwilling to admit it, but he knew Madam Luâs plan was indeed beneficial in both ways. Back then, judging by the manâs demeanor, he certainly wasnât from an average family, and there might be a gamble worth taking.
"Even if you say that, the man has already left, where are you going to find him?" Zhou Xuennian asked again.
Madam Lu was stunned. She thought of the scheme, but not this. The man hadnât come, so where would she find him?
