Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 956: 956 Returns

However, Huang Mei didn’t care about any of this. She already hated Xu Hongbing, so she said everything.

Tang Shusen already knew the whole story, so he immediately went back.

He reported to Leader Zhao Zhixue. "I’ll make the call right away."

Su Yuanyuan had just finished lunch and was reading a foreign novel when Qian Zhifeng came in. "Minister, there’s a call."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, put down her book, and picked up the phone.

"Minister Su, this is Zhao Zhixue. The two people have been arrested. The man isn’t saying anything, but the woman has confessed everything."

"Very good, thank you. This matter must be dealt with seriously."

"Yes, I understand. Minister Su, I will use the man as a typical example."

"That’s fine. Please take care of the Zhao Family siblings in the future; they are my relatives."

"Rest assured, Minister Su, I definitely will."

Zhao Zhixue knew what to do. After he put down the phone, his face was full of smiles.

"Secretary Tang. Call Hu Haicheng, we need to make the man talk, he must be dealt with severely, and focus on this on our side."

"Yes."

"By the way, have the Zhao Family siblings left yet?"

"No, they’re still at the police station, but Director Hu has already arranged a room for them, and they had lunch in the canteen."

"Good, let’s go over there, meet them; it seems these people have a really good relationship with Minister Su."

Zhao Zhixue arrived at the police station, and the Zhao Family was still asleep.

Zhao Qingxiang woke up and saw Secretary Tang. He quickly woke the other family members.

"Secretary Tang, sorry, we caught a bus here last night and fell asleep."

"Mr. Zhao, that’s normal. This is our leader, Zhao Zhixue."

Zhao Qingxiang and the others quickly greeted him with respect.

"No need for that, we all have the surname Zhao, maybe a few hundred years ago we were from the same family. Everything is arranged here, so don’t worry."

"Thank you, leader. You are truly a leader who serves the people."

Who doesn’t like to hear compliments? Zhao Zhixue felt quite appreciated inside.

"By the way, if it’s inconvenient for you here, you can go home."

Secretary Tang whispered, "Leader, Xu Hongbing bought a house in the city."

"If there’s nothing at home, you can stay in the city waiting for news; don’t worry, it will be soon."

Zhao Qingxiang thought for a moment. "Thank you, leader. We’ll go back, though, as we have elders and kids at home. We believe the leader will give us justice."

"Okay, then you can leave tomorrow."

Zhao Qingxiang shook his head. "It takes half a day and a night to get back; we’ll just return now and thank you again, leader."

Zhao Zhixue nodded, "Be safe on the road."

Zhao Qingxiang and the others went to see Hu Haicheng before catching their bus. They first went to the post office and called Zhao Yanli to tell her the matter was being taken care of. Before they left the city, they met Feng Baoshan.

"How’s it going?"

"Director Feng, I called Yuanyuan. Xu Hongbing and that woman have been arrested, so we’re heading back now."

"Okay, stay safe on the road. I stopped by your house on the way here, everything’s fine at home."

No one expected the Zhao Family to really get in touch with Su Yuanyuan, but it’s good this way.

Zhao Qingxiang and the others got home by the next morning. Zhao Tian felt relieved to see the children return.

An Lixia, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Le hurried to prepare a meal.

Cabbage and shrimp dumplings. The two daughters-in-law joined in the wrapping, and they worked very quickly.

Zhao Xiaojing came back and immediately lay down. Zhao Qingxiang quickly found her some cold medicine, which were bought by Xiao Li and Xiao Ping and kept at home.

An Lixia also made some brown sugar ginger water for her daughter, who lay down in a daze after drinking it.

She forced herself to get up for dinner and just ate a bowl of dumplings before lying down again.

Zhao Qingjie had already gone home to start a fire, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to stay there; there wasn’t enough room at his older brother’s place.

The house was particularly silent, but this matter couldn’t be left unresolved.

"Yuanyuan made a call, so let’s not worry about it. Now, we should ask Xiao Jing what she plans to do in the future?"

Zhao Xiaojing struggled to sit up. "I’ve thought it over; I won’t live with Xu Hongbing anymore."

An Lixia, hearing her daughter’s hoarse voice, shed tears of heartache and hurried off to make her more brown sugar water.

"Xiao Jing, have you made up your mind?"

Zhao Xiaojing nodded. "Yes, I’ve made up my mind. I don’t plan to stay here anymore, I’m thinking of going to live with the kids while they study. I’ll ask Big Brother-in-law and Xiao Bing if they can find me a job, even if it’s just sweeping the streets."

Zhao Qingxiang nodded. "That works too. Pack up everything from home. Sell what should be sold, and you take the kids over there to live.

You don’t need to worry about food; I’ll supply it."

Zhao Xiaojing shook her head. "Big Brother, Xu Hongbing has a lot of money, and I won’t give him a single penny. His share has already gone to that woman; the rest belongs to us three."

Zhao Tian sighed. "It’s probably for the best, or who knows what would happen in the future."

Zhao Xiaojing nodded. "Big Brother, tomorrow, you and Second Brother pack up everything in my house. Leave a thousand jins of grain, sell the rest, and don’t keep any of the chickens or ducks. My salary and Xu Hongbing’s, Director Feng will make sure I get. At that time, us three can live independently, and I can find a job, so there’s absolutely no problem.

I want to take the two kids away from here; I don’t want to see Xu Hongbing anymore."

"Alright, Xiao Li also called and said if you plan to stay with Xu Hongbing, let Mom and Dad beat you up."

"Big Brother, I’m foolish, but not enough to risk life; don’t worry, I still have two sons to raise."

Hai Jun and Haifeng, the two children, sat beside Zhao Xiaojing.

Zhao Qingxiang took out some money, one thousand three hundred and fifty-six yuan, and gave it to Zhao Xiaojing.

"Tomorrow we will handle everything, and Xiao Li should be coming over soon; you can leave with them. We’ll tidy up and talk clearly with Director Feng tomorrow. The house and land have to be returned."

"Xiao Jing, after you leave, I’ll come here, so I can keep an eye on Big Brother, and Mom and Dad can be looked after too."

Zhao Xiaojing nodded, thinking this was the best solution. Once she left, only her Big Brother and Second Brother would be at home, and her parents would be well taken care of.

Zhao Xiaojing felt she had never been so clear-headed. Lying in bed, she thought about her life with Xu Hongbing over the years.

She truly felt like a fool; among the siblings, she was the real fool. But now? She had been deceived to this point.

Suddenly, she remembered that Xu Hongbing had hidden money at home; tomorrow she would go look for it.
