Chapter 277: Chapter 277 True or False First Love 77_1

Zhou Juan knew that Zheng Weijian had embezzled money, but she never imagined he had saved up so much.

Zhou Juan went through all the correspondence between Zheng Weijian and his family, and as she looked at the contents, "Half a year after we came here, your family had already sent you money."

"When I was pregnant, your parents gave you money to improve your diet, and you, you just never even thought of improving mine."

"I am your wife, carrying a big belly, and I still had to cook for you, wash your clothes..."

"Meanwhile, you went out to eat meat, buying fish and meat from the villagers."

"Even when I had a miscarriage, you still only cared for yourself."

Zhou Juan hadn’t expected that this was the man she had schemed so hard to marry, a man who would absolutely not care for her.

"The money?"

"It’s all here." Zheng Weijian pointed to a pile of money.

"All here?" Zhou Juan truly didn’t believe it and slapped him hard across the face, "You’re lying."

Zheng Weijian was furious inside and really wanted to retaliate, but before he could make a move, Zhou Juan started kicking his knees.

She would have been reluctant to do this before because it would cause delays due to his poor health, but she didn’t care now. It wasn’t fair for her to have poor health while Zheng Weijian remained well.

Zheng Weijian conceded, "I did hide a little bit."

He had no choice, knowing that if he didn’t produce the money, there would be no end to his troubles.

"Bring it out, Zheng Weijian. Think it over carefully, whether to bring it all out."

"If I find out you’ve kept any private stash, I will really show you why the flowers are so red."

Zheng Weijian was considering how much to reveal, but upon hearing Zhou Juan’s threatening words, his body couldn’t help but shudder.

But if he gave up everything, how would he indulge himself? Life was already hard; if he couldn’t enjoy some good food, there was nothing to look forward to.

But if he didn’t give it up, would Zhou Juan let him off the hook?

Zheng Weijian sank into thought, not even noticing Zhou Juan’s steady gaze on him.

Zhou Juan sneered in her heart, seeing that even at this point, the man was still thinking about how to hide things.

No matter; she would let him weigh his options thoroughly. This time she had to completely bring him down; only then would he not cause any trouble in the future.

That’s right, Zhou Juan felt she really was a fool for thinking she could use the child in her womb to get back to the city, underestimating the extent of the Zheng family’s disdain for her.

Since that path was not an option, no matter. She could find another way.

Such as squeezing Zheng Weijian dry, letting them know that the longer Zheng Weijian stayed here, the worse his days would become.

She refused to believe that the old couple, who treasured their son so dearly, could continue to bear it.

An agitated Zhou Juan glanced at the letters from Zheng Weijian’s elderly parents and suddenly noticed a detail.

She picked up the letter and read it carefully, truly shocked—ignorance was bliss; knowing had infuriated her to death.

Zhou Lina felt that her physical punishment of Zheng Weijian was far too lenient; she really shouldn’t have been polite to this man.

She relied on this man for support, yet they schemed against her in this way.

Zhou Lina took a deep breath; she hadn’t thought it through at the beginning and hadn’t guarded against Zheng Weijian.

But now, knowing that the entire Zheng family, including Zheng Weijian, was plotting against her, how could she tolerate it?

Initially, she thought of simply divorcing Zheng Weijian. With everyone around her scheming against her, wishing for her death, why stay any longer?

But when she thought about it again, why should she get a divorce? Even if the Zheng Family had plotted against her, once divorced, finding a good man would be impossible.

What should she do? Zhou Juan pondered for a long time and finally came up with an idea.

She looked up at Zheng Weijian, who was startled by the look in her eyes.

Now he truly regretted why he had followed his parents’ wishes. They weren’t even here, and if something went wrong, they wouldn’t be affected.

"You contact your parents and tell them that I’ve uncovered their plot against me. Demand that they find me a job. I want to return to the city."

"Remember, they must arrange a job for me."

"If they disagree or only arrange a job for you..."

"I must have one, and my job must be better than yours."

"Also, I need to replenish my health now, so give me meat coupons."

"My clothes are also worn out, I need cloth coupons, or give me new clothes."

"And when I married you, your family didn’t provide a bridal gift," Zhou Juan stated bluntly.

Zheng Weijian was terrified by Zhou Juan’s demands, "Your requests..."

"Are they too much for you?"

"No problem, I can go back and have a chat with the leaders of the machinery factory."

"After all, your family..."

Zhou Juan had made up her mind that if the Zheng Family didn’t care, then it wouldn’t matter; she definitely wouldn’t go easy on them.

Zheng Weijian was frightened out of his wits. If it hadn’t been for the beating, he wouldn’t have taken Zhou Juan’s words seriously.

Now he knew that if he didn’t do as Zhou Juan said, there would be no good ending. Zheng Weijian truly regretted it; he regretted not destroying those letters as his parents had advised but leaving them intact.

If those letters had been burned, there would’ve been no such trouble. Now, she had caught him in her trap, and who knows what kind of upheaval she would cause.

Zheng Weijian didn’t dare to contemplate how enraged his parents would be when they found out.

Because he hadn’t listened, his parents were already very angry, and yet he had made it worse.

After much thought, Zheng Weijian came up with a brilliant idea—to steal the threatening letter and destroy it once and for all. Then he’d see how this damned woman could threaten him.

Yes, that was it. Zheng Weijian had made up his plan, and he knew that next, he had to behave well and not give Zhou Juan any cause for suspicion.

In Zheng Weijian’s view, he had concealed his thoughts well this time, yet he seemed to forget that his intellect couldn’t match Zhou Juan’s quick-wittedness.

What he could think of, Zhou Juan could as well. Of course, she knew that to ensure the Zheng Family willingly found her a job, she needed to keep those letters safe.

Without those letters, the Zheng Family would definitely not lift a finger to help.

But where to keep the letters was indeed a troubling issue.

The house was small, with few places to hide things, and even if she dug a hole, she couldn’t conceal it from Zheng Weijian.

Rather than having him find out later, she might as well find a secure place to keep the letters.

And the safest place she could think of only allowed for quick action.

When Zhou Lina received another thick enveloped letter from Zhou Juan, she fell into deep thought. Was their relationship so good that Zhou Juan needed to write such a long letter?

Once she opened the envelope and saw the content of the letter, Zhou Lina didn’t know how to describe her feelings.

Indeed, give her a bit of news, and this person would beam like the bright sun.

Patiently reading through the letters sent by the Zheng couple, Zhou Lina could only think that in their past life, this family must have had no mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. They were definitely a gathering of tough people where no one could utterly dominate the other.
