"Then why donāt you talk to Deng Qingjiang?"
"I did, how could I not?" Chen Kaijin couldnāt help but curse out loud, "That Deng guy is such a scoundrel! Ungrateful bastard! Back in the day when he started as an apprentice, he was dirt poor, with only one cotton-padded jacket for the whole winter, and the cotton inside was clumped up. The jacket was still ragged, with cotton always spilling out, no matter how you wore it, it couldnāt keep you warm. I secretly took my momās cotton and new fabric to make him a new jacket."
Chen Kaijin started crying as she spoke, "When he put on the new jacket, he told me that he would earn money well and let me live a good life, wearing the most beautiful new clothes. When we got married, I told him I didnāt want to follow him and marry into a poor and remote place like Siyang Village, said I didnāt want to face the moods of the in-laws. He said he would change his surname when he went back, he wouldnāt return, I didnāt have to acknowledge those in-laws. He told me I like living in the city, so I could stay in the city, heād listen to me for everything."
"I believed him when he said he wanted to work on his own. I asked my father for money and secretly gave him our customer address book, letting him steal our familyās clients, leading to our business getting worse while he earned more and more money. Now he has even opened a furniture store in Capital City!"
"But look at him, look what he has become now! He actually keeps a woman outside! That woman is a classmate of yours, and sheās young enough to be his daughter! Tell me, how can he be so shameless?"
Chiang Xiao stood to the side, listening to her cry and curse, her expression growing increasingly cold.
"He even bought a house for that Little Vixen with the surname Ye! I went to confront her, but she actually hit me, knocked me to the ground, refused to call an ambulance, ignored me, and locked me in the room sleeping on the floor overnight!"
Whenever Chen Kaijin mentioned Ye Wanqing, she gritted her teeth with hatred.
"I fell and hit my head, then fainted on the floor all night, and thatās why I got sick! Iām not cancerous! Iām not! Itās all that Ye womanās fault! Sheās venomous, like a witch! That Deng guy took her back, protected her, and shoved me into this crappy hospital, insisted that I had cancer! Dengās conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
"Even if Deng Qingjiang is unreliable, you canāt leave on your own?"
Chiang Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Youāve been with him for so many years, havenāt you saved up enough money to see a doctor in a big hospital?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Kaijin started shouting again, "I managed to save up some money, and before, he coaxed me, saying he found a business in D State that easily makes big money, said he would go and invest there, and cheated my money away!"
D State?
Chiang Xiaoās heart stirred.
She came to see Chen Kaijin, firstly to put a full stop to this Chapter of her past life, but also to coax some information about Deng Qingjiang out of Chen Kaijin.
She didnāt expect Chen Kaijin to blurt out everything now as if she didnāt care anymore.
Deng Qingjiang went to D State again.
Does it mean heās already connected with that person?
If so, she needs to send someone to follow Deng Qingjiang, trace his communications, see who heās dealing with in D State, and maybe, just maybe, pinpoint that person from the past?
This could be considered a gain.
"Isnāt your health more important than making money?" She said casually.
Chen Kaijin, as expected, got even angrier.
