I just pasted it wrong, I’ll change it.

"I still say the same thing, I and Jiang Xue, there’s nothing going on between us." Liao Hui looked at Zhou Xiangping with a determined expression, "Although I don’t know what’s written in the letter you have, I hope you’ll give me the right to see the letter, and the right to verify its content."
"Heh..." Zhou Xiangping looked at him with disappointment, "Is this because you have a guilty conscience, or are you trying to countercharge me?"
Chapter 291
"Xiao Si, how many years have we known each other?" Liao Hui looked at Zhou Xiangping with rare seriousness.
"I don’t want to answer that question." Zhou Xiangping turned her head away, unwilling to make eye contact with Liao Hui.
"Why don’t you want to look at me? You’re also not certain about your own suspicions, are you? You’re afraid that if you look at me, you’ll go soft, right?" Liao Hui sighed softly, "I admit, I’m a bit indecisive, but I definitely don’t have the character to do something and not own up to it, what do you think?"
Zhou Xiangping pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Let me see what the letter in my pocket is about." Liao Hui reached out his hand, "With all the work stuff and family issues recently, my mind’s really in a mess.
If you still have that little bit of trust in me, then give me the letter, rest assured, I won’t destroy the evidence, nor will I swallow it, and I definitely won’t play any tricks.
I just want to see what’s written, then think it over, or maybe find some clues. Xiao Si, in the presence of the whole family, what underhand moves could I possibly make, right?"
Zhou Mikang looked at Zhou Xiangping: "Give it to him."
Zhou Xiangping’s hand twitched, and she awkwardly twisted her head even more.
Knowing that she agreed to let him take the letter, Liao Hui snatched the letter from her hand, read a line, and his forehead bulged with veins: "Xiao Si, when did you find this letter?"
"Hmph!"
His answer came from a hum through the nose.
"Xiao Si, this letter isn’t written by me!"
"Hmph!"
Liao Hui had no choice but to stand beside Zhou Xiangping, with the letter spread out in front of her, "This handwriting, at first glance, indeed looks quite like mine, but if you look closely, is this how I write next to ’zou’? And next to ’ren shu xin’, and here... These small details, the other person hasn’t imitated correctly, and besides, if you look even more carefully, you’ll find that this person purposely tried to change some of his habits, but hasn’t done so completely.
Look at this character, it looks a bit like mine, right? And here... Xiao Si, if after seeing all this, you still don’t believe me, then I’m truly disappointed in you."
"What can disappointment do?" Zhou Xiangping glanced at him, "Tell me, what can disappointment do?"
"It can’t do anything." Knowing that his wife wasn’t really holding it against him, Liao Hui quickly tried to appease her with a smile, "You say how you want to punish me, I misspoke."
Zhou Xiangping looked at him coldly: "Have you figured out who wrote it?"
"Not quite sure."
"What do you mean not quite sure? Is it that you hope it wasn’t her who did it? Having been classmates for so many years, you can’t be that unsure, can you?" Zhou Xiangping glared at him, "You even let her put the letter in your trouser pocket, Liao Hui, how are you going to explain this?"
"Ah?" Liao Hui frowned and began to recall hard, "I did meet her once recently, but she wasn’t looking for me, she was looking for our commune director.
Then, we had lunch together, the three of us, and at that time, she sat with the director, and I sat opposite them. So thinking about it, she really didn’t have the chance to put the letter on me.
Xiao Si, you know how careless I am, I never check my pockets, otherwise, you wouldn’t have found this, right?"
"Are you trying to tell me that she knows you better than I do?" Zhou Xiangping snorted, "When she came to me, she told me that I didn’t understand you well enough, that I wasn’t good to you, and now with what’s happening in my family, I’m even more unworthy of you.
Now, you’re also telling me that I don’t understand you well enough, and only she really knows you. Indeed, it turns out you two really are a perfect match. Liao Hui, do you know why I didn’t bring this up when I was at your house?
It’s not because I was playing games with you, nor was I intentionally waiting to settle the score when you came to my house, but because I was forced by your mother. That day, when she came to talk to me at home, it was with your mother’s consent.
Your mother even deliberately took grandpa and grandma out for a walk, leaving her and me alone at home. Every time in front of you and grandpa and grandma, your mother is so considerate of me."
But, whenever you all were not at home, she was not the same person, you just asked me how many years we’ve known each other, Liao Hui, I’ve known your mother since I’ve known you. But it was not until today that I truly realized what kind of person your mother is.
In the past, your mom treated me the same in front of others as she did behind their backs, but ever since our family encountered this situation, she’s become a different person. My pain is unspeakable. If I were to say anything bad about her in your house, your whole family would not believe me.
Maybe they would even think it’s the fault of being locked away that’s making me purposely pick a quarrel. Therefore, I can only wait until I get back to my own home to speak out. At the very least, I won’t be locked up again.
Try being locked up for a month someday and see how that feels. You should know what kind of temperament I have. To lock me up for a month is basically to drive me insane!
Do you know how much I was hoping you would sneak me out? Not to never return, but to take the chance when everyone is not at home to see how my family members are actually doing.
Every time I begged you, you came up with all kinds of moral excuses to stop me from leaving. It’s as if I could blow up the Earth the moment I go out. Am I really that unreasonable in your eyes?"...
The more she talked, the more agitated she became. Near the end, Zhou Xiangping was crying and speaking, with tears and snot undesirably wiping onto Liao Hui.
Originally, the Zhou family, who were very dissatisfied with the Liao family, couldn’t help but smile bitterly at this scene.
However, for Liao Hui’s mother, Cai Hongying to do such a thing was totally beyond their expectations. After so many years of interaction, they really did not know that Cai Hongying was such a hypocritical person.
"I’m going to find her." Lin Yanqiu said angrily as she stomped towards the door.
Zhou Jingping grabbed her, "Let’s not rush into this. We need to think it through before we take action. If you go and start arguing with her now, how will Xiao Xiang and Little Hui get along afterward?"
"But she is really overstepping her bounds, isn’t she?" Lin Yanqiu’s frown was tight, "I believe that there is nothing we’ve done to wrong the Liao family.
This time, they locked up Xiao Xiang, and I didn’t plan to say anything, since they had their family’s interests in mind. Besides, with Xiao Xiang’s character, it’s better for her to stay at home than to worry and get flustered with us.
But what is the meaning of her doing this? If she really thought Jiang Xue was better, she should have married Jiang Xue in the first place. Why bother marrying Xiao Xiang from our family?"
"Mom, this is not her fault. Initially, she preferred Jiang Xue, but it was Liao Hui who liked me," Zhou Xiangping said with a sudden slap on the forehead. "Now I understand why, whenever Jiang Xue went to find Liao Hui, mother-in-law would deliberately mention it in front of me. I always thought she was standing up for me. I was so grateful to her, but it turns out she was intentionally letting me know to make me jealous, to cause trouble between Liao Hui and me, and then we would divorce, and she could marry off her favored daughter-in-law..."
Before Zhou Xiangping could finish, Liao Hui ran out like the wind.
"Gone to settle the account with his mother," Zhou Jiping shrugged and looked at the younger sister, "Xiao Xiang, what do you plan to do?"
"What do you mean what do I plan to do?" Zhou Xiangping looked bewildered, "Does my sister mean what should I do?"
"You and Liao Hui, what are you planning to do about it?" Zhou Jiping sighed, "If you love Liao Hui and want to live a good life with him, no matter how terrible his mother is, you will have to endure.
If you don’t love him anymore... well, let’s not discuss that hypothesis. The fact that you can come back here and make this fuss shows that you have no intention of leaving him.
Therefore, I warn you, let your mother-in-law save some face later, act a bit more generous. That way, Liao Hui will be grateful to you. Silly girl, you have to gradually win over Liao Hui’s heart for yourself, understand?"
"Not really." Zhou Xiangping looked at Zhou Mikang, "Third Brother, do you understand?"
"Why should I understand?" Zhou Mikang replied with a frown.
"You don’t understand either?" Zhou Xiangping started to laugh, "Third Brother is the most clueless in this regard. If Third Brother understands and I don’t, then it really means this is complicated."
Zhou Mikang snorted and turned to the kitchen.
"Wow, Third Brother is going to the kitchen?" Zhou Xiangping’s eyes widened, "See what I mean? That’s true love. A man who never steps half a foot into the kitchen actually goes there. Wow, if someday Liao Hui loves me like that, I’ll be content."
Everyone looked at her, speechless, not sure what to say. Who was the one crying pathetically just a moment ago? And who was being bullied by the mother-in-law? Yet, in the blink of an eye, how had everything turned around like that?
Not to mention the men, even the women present, Lin Yanqiu, Old Madam Zhou, and Zhou Jiping, admitted that they couldn’t understand her thoughts.
Zhou Xiangping smiled sheepishly, "Actually, I’m not that heartbroken. During the time they kept me locked up, Liao Hui initially took leave to stay with me. Later on, when he was suspended from work, he was with me all the time.
His grandfather doesn’t let me go out, he agrees with him on the surface, but he always tries various ways to cheer me up afterward. However, what his mother did was true.
In the limited times that he wasn’t there, his mother really did those things. It’s clear that she really intended to divorce me and remarry someone she liked better, someone who could help the Liao family. If I don’t teach her a lesson, she really will take me for a fool, huh!"
Who says Zhou Xiangping is straightforward?! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
