Forced to marry a disabled man in the countryside? I'll repay you tenfold!

The moment Su Lingshan was mentioned, the whole family's eyes instantly turned red, and their anger soared.

Uncle Su slammed his hand on the table again, his voice filled with hatred: "Don't mention that wretched girl! She's a beast! Wanqing, you be the judge, haven't we been good enough to her? We found her such an excellent man as Hao Jianguo, how could she do something so heinous?!"

Su Wanqing's lips twitched. Yes, yes, you guys are so good to him. A fat man in his forties, raising three kids and having violent tendencies, and having a mistress every day. Would you want a man like that?

Anyway, none of your family members are good people.

Xie Lanhua burst into tears, wailing, "That damned ingrate, that good-for-nothing! When we came back from our labor camp, we found she'd taken everything of value from the house! The gold we'd hidden under the honeycomb briquette stove, the watch Yan Shen had bought for us, the cloth coupons and wages I'd saved up for over a decade… she stole it all! She didn't leave us a single penny! She even took the three silver dollars I'd hidden in the lining of my old cotton-padded jacket! She's trying to drive our whole family to our deaths!"

Uncle Su was trembling with anger: "Our life savings, hidden in the cracks of the walls and at the bottom of the rice jar, were all stolen by her! This isn't a daughter, she's a thief who desecrates our ancestral graves!"

Su Wanqing: "..." No wonder she only found three thousand yuan back then. So many other valuable things were hidden in these places.

Taking the opportunity, Su Wanqing asked, "Even the gold you hid so well was stolen? Then what about the more than three thousand yuan that went missing from the house before? Did she steal that too? She stole the money first, framed Yaoguang, and then secretly told Yaoguang that I stole it, making you all hate me and keep an eye on me, so she could take the opportunity to escape and steal the rest of the things in the house?"

—Although she did take the money, Su Lingshan also made a lot of fuss, so now she can put all the blame back on her.

Upon hearing this, Su Yaoguang immediately jumped up. "Dad! Mom! Did you hear that? I told you I was innocent! You didn't believe me then, and you even hung me up and beat me! That day, Su Lingshan even pretended to pinch me hard, there's definitely something fishy going on! Su Wanqing is right, maybe she was behind it all from beginning to end!"

Xie Lanhua also realized what was going on. "Oh! So that little bitch stole the money and framed someone else, hiding behind the scenes and emptying the family's coffers! How could I have given birth to such a black-hearted wretch!"

Seeing that the whole family's anger had been completely directed at Su Lingshan, and that they were all united in their hatred, Su Wanqing mentally gave a "thumbs up," but outwardly she still asked with concern, "So, after you came back, did you find Su Lingshan? Where did she go?"

The moment this was mentioned, the whole family's faces fell again.

Uncle Su sighed heavily: "Where can we find it! Hao Jianguo was waiting for us at home the day we came back."

Recalling that day, Uncle Su couldn't help but shudder. He and Xie Lanhua had just returned from a labor camp in Xinjiang, exhausted. They thought they could finally catch their breath when they got home, but instead, they found their eldest son, Su Yaoguang, stripped to the waist and hanging from the roof beam, his body covered in whip marks. Hao Jianguo sat in the main room, his face grim, and bluntly said: "Where did Su Lingshan run off to? If you can't answer, I'll beat your son to death right here today."

Xie Lanhua immediately knelt down and kowtowed, recounting all the places Su Wanqing had mentioned that Su Lingshan might go, adding that the brat had already planned for these places.

Hao Jianguo was furious. He had thought that sending this stupid family would bring her back, but Su Lingshan not only ran away, but also turned around and reported him, getting himself into a mess. If it weren't for his strong connections and wide network, he would have suffered a major setback this time.

Uncle Su continued, saying that half a month later, Hao Jianguo came again, saying that he had spotted Su Lingshan in a small fishing village called Shenzhen in Guangdong, but the girl was too slippery and they still couldn't catch her. Hao Jianguo then pressed them to tell them if they knew exactly where Su Lingshan was staying and how she was making a living.

Xie Lanhua slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "How was I supposed to know what that brat was doing there? I wanted to tell Hao Jianguo too, so he could bring her back quickly and get our savings back! Then we could have her kowtow and apologize to Hao Jianguo properly... She and Hao Jianguo are still husband and wife, after all. If she obediently came back and stayed with him, would we mistreat her? She really doesn't know how to enjoy her good fortune!"

Su Wanqing was speechless. If Su Lingshan really came back, that would be suicide.

She recalled Su Lingshan's path to wealth in the original text—that woman later took advantage of the resumption of the college entrance examination to get into Peking University. While studying, she traded in-demand "foreign goods" such as electronic watches and calculators in Shenzhen, making a name for herself in the black market and accumulating her first pot of gold.

So Su Wanqing said, "I remember Su Lingshan mentioned before that she wanted to go to Shenzhen to 'make quick money,' probably to deal in some trinkets on the black market there. You might as well talk to Hao Jianguo and ask him to look around in places like the docks and the black market, where all sorts of people mingle."

Uncle Su nodded repeatedly: "Alright, alright! We'll go find Hao Jianguo and inform him tomorrow! We're family after all, we'll make amends. Hao Jianguo promised to give the eldest son and his wife their jobs back once we find Su Lingshan!"

Su Yaozu snorted, "What kind of woman is she, running off instead of staying obediently with her husband? She even caused us to lose our jobs! Now that we've found her, Hao Jianguo will definitely teach her a lesson!"

Having revealed most of the information, Su Wanqing stood up: "If there's still no news in half a month, you can send me a telegram. I also know a few places where she might be hiding."

Whether or not they can catch her, at least it will keep Hao Jianguo's men watching Su Lingshan. Forcing her to hide will prevent her from making money in peace, and also deprive her of the energy to plot against him again. After all, Su Lingshan must already know that the space is in his hands, and given her personality, she will never accept it willingly. If he doesn't cause her some trouble, trouble will come knocking.

Upon hearing that Su Wanqing was leaving, Uncle Su became anxious: "We're all family, have a meal before you go! There's still the matter of adopting a child..."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Wanqing had already reached the door, turned around, and smiled, supporting her belly: "Oh, by the way, Uncle and Aunt, you don't need to worry about the adoption. I'm already pregnant with Yan Shen's child. Please enjoy your meal."

The room fell silent instantly.

A few seconds later, gasps of surprise erupted:

"You're pregnant?! How is that possible! Didn't you say Zhou Yanshen was hopeless?!"

"How could Zhou Yanshen let someone get pregnant? We've all heard about his injury; wasn't his manhood blown up?"

"Yeah, wasn't it said that he was completely incapable?"

Zhou Yanshen: "...?" When did it explode? How come he didn't know?
