Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

He opened the door with his key and found his wife, Zhou Hui, asleep on the sofa, with a variety show playing on the TV across from them.

then.

Cao Jianjun changed his shoes, tiptoed over, put one arm around his wife's neck, and lifted her legs with the other.

As the object was lifted upwards, Zhou Hui was startled awake. She opened her eyes, saw Cao Jianjun, and punched him.

"You reek of alcohol. How much have you been drinking?"

"Hehe, Brother Chen insisted on treating me, and I couldn't refuse, so I had a few drinks."

Cao Jianjun carried his wife into the bedroom and placed her on the bed.

"Cao Jianjun, is there something you want to tell me?"

Zhou Hui was no longer sleepy. She propped herself up on the bed with both hands, leaned against the headboard, and looked up at her husband.

"Forehead……"

Cao Jianjun was somewhat embarrassed: "Wife, I...I...I arrested your mother today..."

The next second, Zhou Hui's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and she crossed her arms, looking her up and down.

"Cao Jianjun, you're something else. You're acting all high and mighty as a cop now."

"Not only did they arrest my brother-in-law, but now they're even daring to arrest my mother-in-law..."

"What? When are you going to arrest me too?"

Cao Jianjun was stunned.

The daughter-in-law's reaction was completely different from what I had expected.

Although the words sounded harsh and aggressive, there was clearly no blame in the tone; in fact, there was a hint of teasing.

"Huh? Say something, why aren't you saying anything?"

Zhou Hui looked determined to make a comeback, straightening up from her knees and making a gesture as if she were rolling up her sleeves.

Looking up, he gently tapped Cao Jianjun's chest with his finger: "Are you also planning to arrest your wife? And give her a heavy sentence, so you can prepare to find a new wife?"

"Cao Jianjun, you're amazing! It's only been a few days..."

"Come on... Ah, what are you doing? Let me go..."

Just as Zhou Hui was basking in her triumph, Cao Jianjun pounced on her like a tiger descending a mountain, grabbed her hands, raised them above her head, and pressed them onto the blanket.

"Cao Jianjun, get away from me! You stink! You haven't showered yet..."

Zhou Hui scolded him, half-laughing and half-angrily, "Hey, let me go, go take a shower right now."

"daughter in law."

Cao Jianjun was dumbfounded: "You...you're really not angry? That's your mother."

"Hmm." Zhou Hui blinked and nodded. "And then?"

"Your husband detained your mother, and you're not even angry?"

As he spoke, Cao Jianjun seemed to realize something and sat up abruptly: "Hey, wait a minute, wife, it seems you already know that I arrested my mother-in-law."

"of course."

Zhou Hui nodded mischievously, raising her eyebrows mysteriously and smugly: "You really think the Balihe Police Station is your territory? I have informants here too, you know?"

"Let me tell you, Cao Jianjun, you absolutely mustn't do anything to betray me, otherwise, I'll definitely see through you."

My wife is so charming tonight.

Cao Jianjun became increasingly engrossed in the sight, stroking his chin with one hand: "Huihui, are you crazy? You really don't care that your mother was arrested?"

"Oh dear, look at you, so cowardly."

Zhou Hui's smile vanished, and she immediately returned to her usual normal self: "This afternoon, your director called me and told me the whole story."

"Huh? The director called you?"

Cao Jianjun was taken aback at first, and then felt a little touched.

As expected of the director, he was afraid of causing conflict in his own family, so he made a special effort to explain things clearly to his wife on his behalf.

"Ah."

Zhou Hui pursed her lips and nodded slightly: "My mother brought it on herself; she wanted to ruin you."

"The fact that she dared to make such a scene shows that she and her daughter, and you and your son-in-law, are sworn enemies from now on."

"She's capable of doing something like this for Sun Youguang, so why should I feel sorry for her?"

That's what a good wife is like.

She's very clear-headed about everything.

Cao Jianjun cupped his wife's face in his hands and kissed her several times like a chick pecking at rice: "My wife is so cool."

"Go take a shower right now, you stink."

Zhou Hui, however, raised her leg and kicked Cao Jianjun twice in annoyance: "Also, from now on, let's just live our own lives in peace, and not care about or ask about anything else."

"clear."

Cao Jianjun readily agreed and rushed into the bathroom.

I really should take a shower and go to bed; I have to go to work early tomorrow morning.

ten minutes later.

After taking a shower and drying himself off, Cao Jianjun returned to the bedroom in his pajamas.

"Hey, honey, by the way, where's your sister?"

"do not know."

Zhou Hui rolled her eyes and said coldly, "We had a fight this afternoon, and she left our house. She doesn't care anymore."

"it is good."

Cao Jianjun chuckled and crawled into bed: "Whatever my wife says, let's go to sleep."

22. Green Vine City, Gao Mingyuan?

"Sleep? What are you talking about? Go to sleep by yourself."

Zhou Hui glared at her irritably and then turned her body to the side.

Something's not right," Cao Jianjun frowned, becoming suspicious.

But then I realized.

Zhou Hui is still soft-hearted after all. After all, she's human, and she can't always be as decisive as she says.

For example, her in-laws, her sister and brother-in-law—the daughter-in-law knew there was no reason to help them, and knew they were reaping what they sowed.

But thinking about my parents, I realize they might be kicked out and have no place to live, and they might even have to go back to their hometown.

Zhou Hui felt somewhat sad.

This distress stems from a daughter's anger and sorrow towards her biological parents for their lack of ambition and misfortune.

"My wife..."

Cao Jianjun lost his will to sleep, got up and leaned against the headboard, squeezing closer to Zhou Hui.

He reached out and pulled his wife into his arms, stroking her head with one hand.

"If you still can't bear to see your parents homeless, you can help them, and I won't say anything."

Hear the words.

Zhou Hui looked up at Cao Jianjun in surprise: "Are you crazy?"

"What I said is true."

Cao Jianjun did indeed despise his mother-in-law, but as much as he hated her, the most he could do was simply not help her.

But his wife was, after all, someone else's daughter, and he couldn't stop Zhou Hui from helping them if she wanted to.

"What a load of bull."

Zhou Hui wrinkled her nose and bumped Cao Jianjun with her head: "I said, their business has nothing to do with us, we can't interfere."

"I'm just saying this because I feel sorry for you..."

"I can't help even if it hurts my heart." Zhou Hui stubbornly said, "I'm just being dramatic, I'll be fine in a bit."

"..."

Cao Jianjun was once again impressed by his wife's amazing abilities.

"However, I don't think my parents are too bad either."

Zhou Hui muttered thoughtfully, "I asked about it a while ago, and it seems like my parents' old house might be demolished."

"Then I saw the news and found out that my parents' village, now called Yihe New Village, has become the final development project in Lvteng City."

"..."
