Chapter 424: Chapter 434: The Man with the Surname Su

Two female comrades openly fought and even disfigured each other, causing an extremely bad influence. This had escalated to a very serious level.

Merely issuing criticisms through announcements would not quell the situation, and the best outcome for Qin Cuifen could be getting fired.

“Director Su isn’t here, right?” Mentioning the Inspection Department, Sheng Ning couldn’t help but think of Su Hai, who seemed to have been absent for a few days.

Yang Wenying glanced at her with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

“Su Hai has gone to Liyang County!”

Sheng Ning’s body swayed slightly, and she asked uncertainly, “Really?” Su Hai must have gone to investigate her origins, right?

“Don’t worry, he won’t do anything that would be detrimental to your family.” Su Hai probably wished he could hold her in the palm of his hand.

Hey, with Sheng Ning here, wouldn’t getting her to write scripts and lyrics for “Rebirth” be a piece of cake in the future? Even hanging Su Hai out to dry wouldn’t dare offend her.

Thinking this, Yang Wenying’s eyes narrowed, and she revealed a darkly amused smile.

“You don’t need to worry. The one who should be worried is Qin Cuifen!” Yang Wenying comforted Sheng Ning a few more words before pushing her out.

Shixi Town

While Sheng An was busy weighing bean sprouts and taking money in town, she was actually daydreaming; her thoughts had long since flown away.

She was preoccupied with worrying about her father’s condition. Since that man surnamed Su had left, her father had been acting very abnormally. He was silent and refused to eat.

It worried her mother to death; if dad continued to refuse food, mom was even considering calling her sister.

Just thinking of that man surnamed Su made her feel annoyed; nothing good could come from him. She did not know what he said to her dad to make him so angry!

“An’an, it’s so cold out. Why are you still selling bean sprouts?”

“To make money!” Someone greeted her, and Sheng An responded offhandedly.

“Ha ha ha… You’re so young and already thinking about making money. Whichever family you marry into will be lucky.”

With the incident of the town mayor’s family fresh in her mind, Sheng An’s face changed at the mention of marriage.

“An’an, did you hear? Second Aunt Qin’s family was arrested.” A familiar person from the village ahead spoke mysteriously.

“Really?” Sheng An’s eyes brightened, and she stopped selling bean sprouts to ask about the situation.

“You actually don’t know? This news has already spread everywhere.”

The other people who had come to the market overheard and joined in, chiming in one after another.

“That’s right, that’s right… They were arrested by the Liyang County Public Security Bureau. They’re accused of fraud and intentional homicide!”

“Second Aunt Qin was so unscrupulous, it was only a matter of time before she got her comeuppance.”

“Her retribution has indeed arrived!”

“And I heard it was instructed from above!”

Sheng An couldn’t help but think of that man surnamed Su. Could it have been his doing? If it was indeed him, perhaps he wasn’t as bad as she had thought.

“Now Second Aunt Qin’s done for! I heard she’s going to be sentenced!”

“Even if she’s not sentenced, she’ll have no face to appear in our township ever again.”

“That’s for sure, she’ll be like a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to hit.”

Currently, this news was being circulated throughout Shixi Town, whether it was intentionally leaked or not, everyone spoke as if they were well-informed.

Especially regarding the homicide charge, everyone acted like it was a deep dark secret, as if there was indeed someone who had been killed.

Those who had been scolded, bullied by Second Aunt Qin, or driven out of the village, all ran to the town government to lodge complaints.

Sheng An packed up her things and headed home. As she passed by the town police station, there was actually a large crowd gathered at the entrance.

“Officer, you have to stand up for me. Look, my daughter’s face was ruined on purpose by Qin Cuifen. It’s destroyed for life, and she hasn’t even been able to find a husband because of it.”
