Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 155 - 156 Gratitude
Chapter 155: Chapter 156 Gratitude
Grandpa Xu was scolded by Grandma Xu and hurriedly nodded, “You’re right, the Wu family deserved the death penalty they got.”
“Granddaughter, why do I feel like you’re saying the entire Wu family was sentenced to death? Wasn’t it the son of the Wu family who did it?”
“The Wu family committed heinous acts, not only hurting my cousin. They embezzled, seduced girls, committed rape, murdered people—there’s no shortage of bad things they did.”
Grandpa Xu was furious, as the thing he hated most in life was men who defiled young women. Such men deserved to be torn to pieces.
Grandma Xu was also furious, “The Wu family really has no conscience at all.”
When Mr. and Mrs. Xu came back, they wore faces of pride. Although the two of them had foolishly taken a trip for nothing and hadn’t been able to help at all, just thinking of that inspiring moment, they were thrilled.
“When one is in trouble, help comes from all sides,” that’s exactly what today’s scene was about.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu could never have expected that their daughter would find evidence and enemies to help Shengshun, even getting Director Sun and Director Hong to lend a hand.
The clout their daughter must have! To get their director and the county’s factory director to help.
That would be something for Mrs. Xu to boast about for a long time.
“Today was so satisfying! The moment I saw the Wu family being arrested, I felt extremely relieved,” Mrs. Xu’s mouth couldn’t stop talking.
Uncle Xu bowed to Mr. and Mrs. Xu, “Thank you, big brother, big sister, and thank you, Yingying. Without you, your cousin would have lived his entire life confusedly being taken advantage of.”
He never expected his son’s matter would implicate so much.
More importantly, facing such a powerful family like the Wu family, his niece was still able to help them find justice. Uncle Xu was completely moved.
Sorrow filled Mr. Xu’s eyes as he looked at his once spirited brother who now appeared even older and more haggard than himself, feeling distressed, “Second brother, there are still long days ahead of us.
Our country is growing, and so is medical science. I believe before long, Shengshun’s illness will be treated. You and your wife must take good care of yourselves, so later on, you can watch Shengshun become healthy and provide you with a grandson.”
Uncle Xu nodded, his sadness lessened somewhat. Though his son was still simple-minded, the punishment of their enemies offered considerable relief.
Big brother was right, their country was growing, and medical science was making great strides. His son’s sickness would surely be cured one day.
When Mrs. Xu saw her daughter, she rushed over, full of excitement. Just thinking of her daughter’s commanding presence, Mrs. Xu couldn’t help but swagger, “Daughter, after finally getting a week off,
you’ve been busy the whole time. You should go inside and get some sleep to recover your energy. I’ll go and stew an old hen to nourish you later.”
Xu Ying wasn’t polite with her, she really had been tired these past days, “Then I’ll go back and rest for a while.”
“Go ahead,” Mrs. Xu waved her off.
Second Aunt Xu said lovingly, “Big sister, I’ll go back and kill an old hen to make soup for Yingying. You should rest too.
Riding in a car all day must have been exhausting.”
Mrs. Xu wasn’t tired at all; there’s no fatigue when watching exciting events.
Thinking of the substantial compensation Second Aunt Xu’s family received, and that Xu Shengshun got his job back—even though they hadn’t found someone to work the job yet, or if they chose not to work, it could still make quite a bit of money.
So, Second Aunt Xu’s family was not short on money, they were even wealthier than her own family.
Mrs. Xu didn’t stand on ceremony either and smiled, “Second sister-in-law, that would be great, thank you.”
Second Aunt Xu quickly waved her off, “What trouble? I should be thanking you, big sister, for raising such a good daughter. Otherwise, how could Shengshun’s issue have been brought up again?”
After saying this, Second Aunt Xu hurriedly went back. Mrs. Xu, seeing her leave, sneakily ran out to the gossip corner.
Zhang Dacao loved to gossip and had already heard that Mrs. Xu and her family had taken the commune’s tractor to Xiang County today.
“That heart of hers was quite perturbed, “Sister-in-law Captain, didn’t you go to Xiang County?”
Mrs. Xu lifted her head with pride, “We did, went with Director Sun.
It was to sort out Shengshun’s matter, remember how he got accepted into the human resources department of the food factory?
Because of the incident on his wedding day, things got delayed, and later on, my younger brother went to the food factory to ask. Those people said that because he hadn’t shown up for a long time, he lost the job, but that wasn’t the real story.
Do you still remember the arrest next door?” Mrs. Xu asked.
Of course, these people remembered. It had been hot gossip at the time: Wu Yimu from next door was actually having an affair with Zhou Huiru, Vice Captain Xu’s wife.
Now everyone in the village suspects that Zhou Huiru’s child might actually be Wu Yimu’s.
Otherwise, why hadn’t Zhou Huiru conceived during the many years she was married to Vice Captain Xu, but she got pregnant when she was involved with Wu Yimu.
Poor Vice Captain Xu, he still doesn’t know about this!”
“Sister-in-law, of course we remember, but does this have anything to do with Shengshun’s case?” Zhang Dacao was almost out of patience.
Mrs. Xu boasted, “Of course, it’s related. It was the younger brother of Wu Yimu’s wife who stole our Shengshun’s job. It was him who took Shengshun’s place under a false name from the start.”
“Why was Wu Yimu arrested then?” Zhang Dacao was full of confusion.
Wang Lanhua looked at her disdainfully, “How can you be so slow? Wu Yimu was arrested because he was corrupt, didn’t you see how many valuables the Public Security officers took out from his place that day?
All that was embezzled by her man during his time at work.”
Zhang Dacao was even more bewildered, “But what does this have to do with Xu Shengshun’s matter?”
“My Shengshun got his job on his own merit. For Liu Haiyun’s brother to take his place, he definitely had to cough up a huge sum.
They demanded money from him, eight hundred yuan in total. Where would a freshly graduated, unemployed kid get that much money? It must have been provided by his brother-in-law Wu Yimu.
Wu Yimu had only worked for a few years, and his wife would eat luxurious meals every day, so there’s no way they could have saved up money. By this account, Wu Yimu’s home wouldn’t have any money.
Yet he managed to give his brother eight hundred yuan, which surely means it was embezzled. Mr. Public Security investigated and found proof, so aren’t these two things related?”
Zhang Dacao nodded in deep thought, finally understanding the sequence of events.

“So, what did you go to Xiang County for?” Zhang Dacao inquisitively asked.
“What for? I went to take care of a local tyrant in Xiang County,” Mrs. Xu said, playing coy.
Zhang Dacao was growing frantic. What local tyrant?
Turns out she’d gone all the way there to take on a tyrant.
With plenty of snakes around their mountain, why would she have to go all the way to someone else’s county to fight them?
That director, what foolishness!
Wang Lanhua grasped the meaning behind Mrs. Xu’s words, brimming with curiosity, “Sister-in-law, stop playing coy, tell us what you went there for.”
The other women were all equally curious.
Finally, Mrs. Xu began to recount, “Do you know the Deputy Factory Director of Xiang County Meat Union Factory?”
After saying that, Mrs. Xu looked disgusted, “Even if you don’t know, it doesn’t matter. I’ll continue.
That Deputy Factory Director of the Meat Union Factory thought he was so powerful. Relying on some clout in his hands, he started embezzling and buying people off.”
