Chapter 2268: Built a New House

Editor: Atlas Studios

At that time, Qiao Mei only had Li Gui’s safety in her mind and did not think about anything else. It was not surprising that everyone wanted to hide this matter from her. If she had known that Xu Ba was getting close to Li Gui during a time like this, she would definitely have put a stop to it.

“Come, let’s go home.” Qiao Mei pulled Li Gui towards the parking lot. Xia Wen turned around and gave Xu Ba a look before following closely behind.

Xu Ba stood rooted to the spot dejectedly. At this moment, Qiao Mei stopped in her tracks and said without turning back, “Come with us to welcome my mother home. Thank you for taking care of my mother these past few days.”

“Sure!” Xu Ba jogged to Li Gui’s side with a big smile on his face. Li Gui also smiled blissfully.

Qiao Mei looked at the two of them and shook her head helplessly. It seemed that… she had to settle the troublesome issue with the Xu family as soon as possible. If Xu Ba really loved Li Gui, it was not as if she could not accept them being together.

The interrogation detention period soon came to an end and Tan Jing was released. She had nowhere to go now. When the divorce was finalized, she only received some money from the Huang family and did not get any property.

“I should go home,” Tan Jing said as she looked at the gray sky.

After Tan Jing married into the Huang family, the Tan family had extorted money from Huang Quan just like how they extorted Xia Wen back then. Although Huang Quan did not send any more money to the Tan family towards the end, the money which they received at the beginning was enough for them to use for a long time.

They had rebuilt their house in the village. Tan Shi had also married a good wife and the family lived a harmonious life. It was as if Tan Jing had never existed.

“Hello? Who are you?” Liu Cui stood at the door with a broom and asked curiously.

“And who are you?” Tan Jing asked with a frown.

“My name is Liu Cui and I live here,” Liu Cui said in a mild tone. She looked at Tan Jing’s messy hair but also noted that Tan Jing was wearing clothes that looked very expensive. This woman must be from a rich family in the city who had lost her way! If she could help Tan Jing, she might be able to get some rewards out of it!

Tan Jing did not recall hearing that the Tan family had moved. She had lived in this village for more than 20 years, so how could she have forgotten the location of her own home?

“Wife! What are you doing outside! Come back to help me!” Tan Shi shouted as he walked out. The moment he saw Tan Jing, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

“Wait a moment. Come and help me see if she’s lost!” Liu Cui said worriedly.

“… Elder Sister… When did you come back… Why didn’t you tell us?” Tan Shi asked with a trembling voice.

“So you still remember that I’m your elder sister. It seems that this family still acknowledges me,” Tan Jing said.

“Oh, it’s Elder Sister! Come in! We have warm food! You can have a good chat with Tan Shi. I’ll go to the kitchen to cook a few more dishes!” Liu Cui said as she hurriedly pushed Tan Shi and Tan Jing into the house.

The air seemed to freeze. Tan Shi did not know what to say to Tan Jing while she sized up the furnishings in the room. Although this house was smaller than before, it looked warm and welcoming. The bedding in the room was clean and tidy. It seemed that Liu Cui was a very capable person.

“When did you get married?” Tan Jing sat next to the brick bed and asked.

“It was after you got pregnant… I didn’t mean to hide it from you! The two of us just got married and didn’t have much money, so we didn’t hold a banquet. At that time, the Huang family didn’t want us to contact you, so we didn’t tell you,” Tan Shi explained.

“You… have changed a lot,” Tan Jing said as she looked at Tan Shi.

Tan Shi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, “Liu Cui is a good girl and lives her life well. It’s really not appropriate for me to be an asshole to her. Besides, if I don’t listen to her, her family is not one to be trifled with!”

It appeared that it was not Tan Shi who had changed, but that Liu Cui’s family could back her up. If it was any other girl without any family support or background, Tan Shi would still be as debauched as before.

“That’s quite good. What about Father and Mother? Where did they move to?” Tan Jing asked.

“We had bought two plots of land on the east side of the village and built new houses there. Father and Mother lived with Second Brother and his family. Third Brother had built a small house for himself,” Tan Shi said.

Tan Jing nodded. She took out 50 dollars from her pocket and wanted to hand it to Tan Shi. After thinking about it, she took out another 50 dollars and said, “Since I didn’t make it to your wedding, take this 100 dollars as my gift to you. I wish the two of you happiness.”

“Thank you, Elder Sister! Thank you so much, Elder Sister!” Tan Shi snatched the money and said excitedly.

“It’s nothing,” Tan Jing said, pretending to be relaxed. If she could not bear to spend money, how could she play the long game?

“How are you and your child? Why haven’t you brought your child with you this time?” Tan Shi asked.

“I’m divorced now and the child is staying with the Huang family,” Tan Jing said.
