After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1157 More Powerful
Auntie Fan… how could it be her?

“No way. Isn’t Auntie Fan a very honest and loyal person? Why would she betray us?” Xia He said in surprise.

It was true that Sister Fan would not betray Xu Lan, but the same could not be said about Sister Fan’s husband. Cheng Gu was very good at planning everything down to the last detail. He even took notice of Sister Fan’s husband.

Sister Fan’s husband was also a gardener. He was a mediocre person his whole life and everyone he knew always said that he was a man without ambitions. They said that he was a person who sat around waiting to die and relied on Sister Fan to support him.

Many people gossiped behind his back, saying that he would not be able to survive without Sister Fan and that he was a freeloader and a useless man!

From then onwards, his attitude towards Sister Fan completely changed. The two of them used to live a happy and harmonious life together, but nowadays, as long as he got drunk, he would beat up Sister Fan. She had bruises all over her body, all of which looked very scary.

Sister Fan was someone who cared about her reputation, so she did not raise this issue with other people. After all, in this era, it was not a big deal for a man to beat up his wife. The people around her would not care about such a matter.

It was just a man beating up his wife to vent his anger, was it not? At the end of the day, it was a matter between husband and wife. Outsiders would not want to interfere. If he had beaten Sister Fan to death, they would call the police. Otherwise, they did not have any reason to do that.

Cheng Gu had given him a lot of money and asked him to recommend someone to work for the Xia family. Once the person was successfully employed by the Xia family, he would receive another sum of money.

Sister Fan had invited trouble only because she trusted her husband too much. She always felt that she had let her husband down. If she had not insisted on marrying him in the past, perhaps the two of them would be living separate and happy lives now.

“Sister Fan has already gone home. Although it’s not her fault, this matter is still related to her and our family can’t employ her anymore,” Xu Lan said regretfully.

“So it means Qiao Mei is attacked by that gardener!” Xia He said.

“That gardener is just a hired thug and not an important character. When we found him, he was already dead. The nanny from Qiao Mei’s house, Wei Hao, was also dead. The two of them died together in a very tragic manner,” Xia Xiu said with a frown.

“Dead? Murdered? Those people are too bold! How can this be!” Xia He said in shock.

“It’s not just them. There’s also the possibility that Tan Jing… has a very low chance of survival. The doctor just told us that Tan Jing was injected with a large amount of drugs and the wounds on her body are starting to fester. The chances of her being cured are very low. For now, we can only use tranquilizers to control Tan Jing and treat her external injuries. The damages which the drugs caused to her body… might stay with her for the rest of her life,” Xia Xiu said regretfully.

This was the first time Xia He felt that her family had protected her very well. She had never heard of such things until now. How could someone be so inhumane and kill people without batting an eyelid?

“Then what should we do next?” Xu Lan asked calmly.

Xia Mao and Xia Xiu had already made arrangements for the next steps. Now that they knew who their opponents were, they were the ones holding the upper hand. Since the Xia family’s children had gotten into trouble one after another, it meant that those people would soon make a move on Xia Zhe.

It was about time. Xia Mao and Xia Xiu had other things to do. Luo Yu had already secured the area surrounding the Xia family residence and would make sure that no suspicious person could get close to the perimeter.

Actually, there were usually a few guard team members stationed near Qiao Mei’s house. However, on the day of the incident, the capital’s army unit was holding a recruitment drive. Every festive season, the military would organize training sessions. For the soldiers, being chosen to become a ceremonial guard was tantamount to getting a promotion!

The guard team members were also considered a part of the army. Those young men with dreams and ambitions could take this opportunity to fight for the promotion. Therefore, Luo Yu transferred the guard team members back in batches so that they could be screened by the military representatives. He did not expect that when he did that, Cheng Gu found a way to take advantage of the situation.

Luo Yu had only wanted to be part of the Xia family’s guard team for the rest of his life. He was satisfied with a position where he could always see Xia He, even if it meant that his job was to protect her family. However, after this incident, it made him understand that he could only protect Xia He and the Xia family well if he himself became strong enough.
Of course, Cheng Gu would not let Xia Zhe off. Xia Zhe was Xia Mao’s most favored son. If he hurt Xia Zhe, the Xia family’s foundation would be completely destroyed and they would not be able to have any achievements in the military in the future.
