In the age of rebirth, the toughest man who retired from marriage

Just as Xie Mingzhu was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, and thinking about something in her mind, she suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The sound is not loud, knocking gently on the door.

Xie Mingzhu turned on the lamp by the bed, got up and went to open the door.

Under the dim light, Huo Xuan's face was reflected.

"You can't sleep either?" Xie Mingzhu asked.

Huo Xuan nodded slightly.

"I always feel that something is not quite right."

Huo Xuan gestured to go inside to talk.

Xie Mingzhu stepped aside and let him into the room.

"I also feel that the whole thing is a bit abrupt." Xie Mingzhu also expressed her own thoughts, "It seems that this happened suddenly."

There was absolutely no room for them to react.

Huo Xing looked at her determinedly, without speaking.

Xie Mingzhu frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Huo Xuan said in a calm voice, "It didn't happen suddenly."

Xie Mingzhu looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"Things are traceable." Huo Xuan continued, "Did you find that everything started with the appearance of the person downstairs?"

Huo Xuan was talking about Wu Baozhen.

Xie Mingzhu faintly already had an idea, and when she heard Huo Xuan's words, her expression became even more serious.

"But why? Is it because of Zhang Feiang's revenge?"

Xie Mingzhu couldn't figure it out.

She has already investigated Zhang Feiang's details very clearly, counting up to three generations, he is a worker and peasant class.

His wife's family was not much different from his.

According to a family like theirs, it seems that it is not so easy to bring down Xie Shitong.

Especially the 20.

Not everyone can afford 20 now.

"It's impossible for Uncle Xie to accept bribes, and it's impossible for this money to appear at home for no reason!"

When he said this, the expression on Huo Xuan's face was a little unclear.

Yes, they know Xie Shitong's character. What he hates the most is people who take bribes, and he will not become such a person.

However, it is also impossible for the money to appear at home out of thin air.

The family is full of smart people, and they usually don't even dare to accept things from neighbors, let alone so much money?
Wu Baozhen is the only one in the family who can receive this money.

However, Xie Mingzhu couldn't figure out why Wu Baozhen did this.
Or, who ordered her to do this?
Huo Xuan looked at her and guessed: "It may be Uncle Xie's hostility..."

Just halfway through speaking, his ears moved slightly, and then he turned his ears to listen carefully.

Xie Mingzhu asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Huo Xuan raised his index finger to his lips, let out a soft "shush", and then turned off the desk lamp.

The room was plunged into darkness in an instant.

In the dark, people's light sensitivity is amplified a lot.

Xie Mingzhu soon heard the movement from downstairs.

She subconsciously looked back at Huo Xuan.

However, in the darkness, he couldn't see his face clearly.

Huo Xuan didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand, took her hand accurately in the dark, led her out of the room, and walked downstairs.

Xie Mingzhu seemed to understand something, and followed Huo Xuan down without asking a word.

Neither of them made a sound, they walked very quietly the whole time.

As soon as he reached the stairs, Xie Mingzhu understood.

Looking at Wu Baozhen, who was holding the child in the yard and carrying her luggage, tiptoeing to go out, how could she not know what happened?
Xie Mingzhu reached out and pulled the switch wire on the side corridor, and the light turned on instantly.

Wu Baozhen's footsteps in the courtyard stopped, and her body froze.

She didn't dare to turn her head, so she just stood there blankly.

Xie Mingzhu came in front of her with a cold expression: "Baozhen, it's so late, where are you going?"

Wu Baozhen didn't dare to speak, and didn't dare to look back at her.

"Wu Baozhen, I feel sorry for you, why did you treat me like this?"

Xie Mingzhu's voice became more and more indifferent.

Hearing what she said, Wu Baozhen finally burst into tears.

She knelt and sat on the ground as if she was exhausted, turned her head to look at Xie Mingzhu, and cried, "I don't want to, I just earn more money to treat my aunt, I don't know that things will turn out like this!"

Xie Mingzhu looked at her coldly.

The movement on their side quickly attracted everyone.

Originally, everyone was hiding things in their hearts, and they couldn't sleep much, but they woke up when they heard the slightest movement.

Seeing Wu Baozhen kneeling in front of Xie Mingzhu, weeping bitterly, she looked puzzled.

"Mingzhu, what's the matter?"

Gao Siyu came down from upstairs with his clothes on.

Xie Mingzhu didn't look at her, and kept staring at Wu Baozhen who was kneeling on the ground: "I have no eyes, I lured wolves into the house, and brought a white-eyed wolf home!"

When everyone heard her words, they immediately looked at Wu Baozhen.

Looking at her packed luggage, and then related to what happened during the day, she seems to understand.

"Baozhen, why did you do this?" Gao Siyu frowned tightly, with an angry look on his face, "Is our family sorry for you?"

"Your girl is cured, and Mingzhu contributes money and energy. You have no place to live, and Mingzhu specially leaves you a job with food and housing. How have we treated you during this period of time? You should ask yourself with a conscience! Why are we sorry for you? Do you want to treat us like this?"

Hearing Gao Siyu's words, Xie Mingzhu's eyes turned red.

In my impression, Wu Baozhen is a little girl who likes to blush, with a simple nature. When Xie Mingzhu was in the countryside, she often accepted her help.

Why has it become like this now?
"Who told you to do this? Who gave you the money?" Xie Mingzhu asked in a cold voice.

Wu Baozhen just shook her head without saying a word.

Xie Mingzhu took a step forward, reached out and grabbed her skirt, and asked word by word: "Who ordered you to do this?"

The son in Wu Baozhen's arms started to cry, and the shrill sound made people's eardrums hurt.

Xie Mingzhu's sharp gaze shot straight at him, and she roared angrily, "Shut up!"

The youngest son always greeted Xie Mingzhu with a smile, and treated him very well. He had never seen her so ferocious, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore.

Xie Mingzhu reached out and pulled the child out of Wu Baozhen's arms.

Wu Baozhen exclaimed, reaching out to snatch her child.

Xie Mingzhu turned around and stuffed the child into Huo Xuan's arms.

When she turned around to look at Wu Baozhen again, her face became gloomy to freezing point: "Wu Baozhen, my patience is limited. If you don't say anything, I don't guarantee that I will do anything!"

Wu Baozhen's attack on her family has already touched her bottom line.
