Chapter 175 Part 1 Will Be Safe
His tone was firm and he would not tolerate any rebuttal. He vowed to save the family from the brink of collapse.
"Just for that girl who paid for the money, you, you actually want to divorce me?"
Zhao's face was full of disbelief and her eyes were full of shock, as if she had heard the most incredible thing in the world.
"try it yourself."
There was no warmth in Jiang Xunzhong's words; they were resolute and cold. Every word was like a sharp blade, cutting Zhao's heart.
He didn't really want to abandon Zhao in his heart. This was just a means for him to intimidate her, hoping to force her to redeem the person.
After all, the two have been together for so many years, and even if life is not easy, they have to make do with it.
Do I really have to spend the rest of my life alone? Thinking of this, Jiang Xunzhong couldn't help but flash a trace of subtle sadness between his brows.
It’s the Dragon Boat Festival again. Alas, what on earth is going on?
Jiang Xunzhong's determination seemed particularly refreshing in the eyes of the villagers, and everyone's evaluation of him also changed greatly, from being mediocre to currently admiring him secretly.
Zhao was indeed frightened by this sudden threat. She was already over fifty years old, and if she was divorced again, she would undoubtedly become a laughing stock in the village.
What's more, since the only son passed away unfortunately, Da Zhuang is the only child left in the family. The bloodline inheritance of the Jiang family depends entirely on him. She cannot leave this home no matter what.
Her husband Jiang Xunzhong's behavior has been really strange recently. Whenever she shows the slightest bit of unkindness towards Xie Xinghua and her daughter, she will be severely reprimanded. Today, he even hit her.
Zhao knew in her heart that maybe this time he would really decide to divorce his wife.
Forget it, since the girl has already been taken advantage of by her, I can only pretend for now. As for whether I can successfully redeem her, I will leave the answer to the future.
Zhao's voice softened, and she tried to explain: "I had no choice. Life at home was tight, and I thought that Daya was a little older, and maybe she could find a job to help support the family..."
"Daya is only ten years old, how can you be so cruel?"
Xie Xinghua's words were filled with anger and heartache, because that was her own flesh and blood that she had carried for ten months.
Zhao was about to retort, but after catching a glimpse of Jiang Xunzhong's stern gaze, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Jiang Xunzhong continued, "Who did you sell her to? Redeem her tomorrow according to the original conditions."
"Row."
Although Zhao agreed readily, Xie Xinghua was still uneasy.
Even though her father-in-law stepped in, her daughter Daya is a weak girl after all. Once she leaves home, who can predict how dangerous the outside world will be?
Thinking of this, Xie Xinghua said anxiously: "No, we must redeem Daya tonight."
"Now? It's late, the market has long been dispersed, where can I find someone for you?"
Zhao was unhappy, but because Jiang Xunzhong was beside her, she had to suppress her anger.
"No matter who you sold her to, you have to take me there now. If anything happens to Daya, there will be no severance between us!"
Xie Xinghua's eyes flashed with determination, and there was no room for negotiation.
Zhao looked at Jiang Xunzhong for help, waiting for his decision.
Jiang Xunzhong pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Daya is a girl after all, it is not safe for her to be outside at night. It would be best if we can find her tonight, and Xinghua will feel more at ease."
Before Zhao could respond, Su Yu had already said, "Okay, my carriage is parked outside and can take them to the town to look for the person right away."
Xie Xinghua's steps were hurried and a little staggering. She rushed to the door at almost the fastest speed, but suddenly stopped at the threshold.
A trace of determination flashed in her eyes. She turned around and stared at Jiang Xunzhong. She spoke quickly but clearly: "Today's sudden turmoil is entirely due to your management. I will trouble you to take care of Changping and the two young girls at home for the time being. I will return as soon as I find Daya."
After saying this, there was a gleam of unquestionable determination in her eyes.
Jiang Xunzhong's face was calm, he nodded gently, and a warm light flashed in his eyes: "Go with peace of mind, I will take care of the family affairs, don't worry about it."
Seeing this, Su Yu naturally couldn't stay out of it.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Ziling, with some hesitation in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Before she could speak, Jiang Ziling seemed to have seen through her treachery. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Go quickly. This matter cannot be delayed. Daya's safety is more important."
Jiang Ziling was burning with worry. Daya was so clever and well-behaved, with such a pretty face. If she fell into a dangerous situation, the consequences would be disastrous.
He couldn't help but feel a little distressed for Su Yu. They had just gotten married and she had to run around again before she could even drink a glass of water in peace.
Jiang Ziling prayed secretly, hoping that his legs would recover soon. That way, no matter what storms happened at home, he would be able to stand by them and Su Yu wouldn't have to work so hard.
When everyone learned that they were going out to look for someone, they all lent a hand and worked together to move the items from Su Yu's carriage one by one.
Several kindhearted ladies surrounded Xie Xinghua, their words full of concern and encouragement: "Don't worry, the child will return safely."
Xie Xinghua's eyes were red and tears were sparkling on the edges of her eyelashes. She forced a grateful smile and nodded in response.
There was only one thought in my mind: I must find Daya, no matter what.
Although Zhao was very unwilling, she had no choice but to get on the carriage.
Although Su Yu drove the carriage at lightning speed, by the time he arrived in the town, the sky had already turned the deep blue of the night, the market had long since dispersed, and the streets seemed exceptionally empty and quiet.
Zhao sighed, shrugged her shoulders, and said helplessly, "Look, it's already this late, there's not even a single person on the street, where can I find him?"
Xie Xinghua stared at the deserted street, her heart sinking into an ice cellar. A ball of rage instantly rushed to her head. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped Zhao's face hard. Her voice was filled with pain and anger: "You cruel-hearted person, if anything happens to Daya, I will never forgive you!"
This slap almost exhausted all of Xie Xinghua's strength, and Zhao felt dizzy for a moment.
Just when Zhao wanted to resist, Su Yu swiftly pulled out the jade hairpin in her hair and pressed it coldly against the side of Zhao's neck. A bone-chilling feeling instantly spread throughout Zhao's body, making her dare not make any rash moves.
Su Yu's voice was as cold as the sharpest wind in winter, piercing Zhao's eardrums with every word: "Who was Daya sold to? What's the buyer's name and where does he live? You'd better think about it carefully and tell me the truth."
Although Zhao was afraid, deep down she still didn't believe that Su Yu would really do something to her.
Her lips trembled as she defended herself incoherently, "I ran into that man on the street. I really don't know his name or where he lives. Killing me would be useless."
When Xie Xinghua heard this, tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string, and the despair in her heart surged like a tide.
