CHAPTER 804: CHAPTER 803: KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE

Zhou Xuennian stared coldly at Madam Lu, looking at her dry, dark face with protruding cheekbones that made her even more repulsive.

"What kind of trick are you trying to pull again? I’m telling you, if you want to dig your own grave, do it far away from me. I don’t want to end up with you in jail again."

Madam Lu’s face turned both blue and white with anger, and she couldn’t help but curse, "Zhou Xuennian, you’re just a coward."

Zhou Xuennian sneered, "If you’re not scared, then go ahead, I dare you!"

Madam Lu choked on her words, ground her teeth, and forcefully suppressed her anger, "I won’t argue with you. Do you want to listen or not?"

Zhou Xuennian snorted but said nothing.

Madam Lu then said, "I just overheard something from my mother-in-law, guess what? I think that wild man of Zhou Yingmei’s has shown up!"

Zhou Xuennian was stunned, "What?"

Madam Lu looked down on him in her heart but knew there was no benefit in continuing to argue, so she shared what she had heard without mincing words, including her own thoughts.

"Look, if that person truly cared, would he ignore us like this? After all, we’re still her brother and sister-in-law, that can’t be changed, right?" Madam Lu said, "If he had any resources, wouldn’t it be better to find you a position than being a mere accountant?"

Zhou Xuennian realized, and mocked, "You, woman, you really have a knack for plotting. I think you should become an accountant!"

"What do you mean by that!" Madam Lu’s face fell.

"Am I wrong? You don’t even know if this person exists, and you’re already calculating, isn’t that good scheming? Even if he does exist, how do you know if he’s capable? What if he’s a pauper?" Zhou Xuennian said coldly.

Madam Lu snickered, "A pauper who employs servants? Why don’t you get yourself a servant then? If you’re so capable!"

"You!"

"My mother-in-law just heard from the second child that the man was once a servant with his person, he’s been using the same person for so many years, what does that tell you?" Madam Lu challenged again.

Zhou Xuennian pondered over it.

"Even if you turn out to be right, and he’s a pauper, so what? What’s it to us? Wufu and her family are living well, why should they have it so good while we’re all in misery together?" Madam Lu said viciously.

"That’s your true intention, isn’t it? You just want revenge on them!"

Madam Lu was caught off guard but didn’t deny it, replying coldly, "So what if it is? She ruined us, made my family suffer, why should I be grateful and wish her all the best? Peh! They don’t even treat us as kin, do you think you’re a Bodhisattva? I just don’t want them to have a good life, what of it!"

Zhou Xuennian looked at her with cold eyes, her crazed gaze made his brow furrow.

"This could be killing two birds with one stone; they will be the ones to suffer. But if that man does have resources, then as your brother-in-law, can he shun you like Wufu?" Madam Lu said to him, "Think it over yourself, isn’t that logical? I’ve said my piece! You know how our life is, doesn’t Dajun need to get married?"

Zhou Xuennian calmed down, unwilling to admit it, but he knew Madam Lu’s plan was indeed beneficial in both ways. Back then, judging by the man’s demeanor, he certainly wasn’t from an average family, and there might be a gamble worth taking.

"Even if you say that, the man has already left, where are you going to find him?" Zhou Xuennian asked again.

Madam Lu was stunned. She thought of the scheme, but not this. The man hadn’t come, so where would she find him?
