After Tong Jia packed up her things, she wanted to go after Yang Jixia directly.

But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that this would not work.

I had already wasted some time when I was unconscious, and then I went to the Yang family to get compensation, which wasted even more time.

Not to mention that she herself is not a native, even Grandma Rong used to be a person who never left the house. It was almost impossible for her to catch up with Yang Jixia.

It is a chaotic time now, and it is too dangerous for her, a young girl in her prime, to go out in the dark.

The most important thing is that the Yang family was almost emptied out by her. If she left, the Yang family would instinctively suspect her.

Those who can't find her will go to the Rong family to cause trouble.

From what Grandma Rong said, she had no feelings for her brothers and sisters, but she still felt guilty towards her parents.

In order not to cause trouble for the Rong family, Tong Jia decided to stay and play the role of a poor woman who was knocked unconscious by her unfaithful husband on her wedding night and had all her dowry stolen.

In this way, it would be justifiable for her to leave later.

Since Yang Jixia had done something unkind and unjust first, don't blame her, a young woman, for being immoral.

After Tong Jia returned to the bridal chamber, she closed the door and entered the RV.

She checked all the items she had collected, picked out the kitchen knife, paper cutter and the awl that Grandma Rong had given her and placed them on the table. She returned to the bed and tried it a few times to make sure that these self-defense items would appear in her hands whenever she wanted, and then she fell asleep peacefully.

Although the door of the bridal chamber could not be locked from the inside for the sake of appearance, Tong Jia was not worried about her personal safety at all.

After all, with those drugs, the Yang family would never have the chance to target her like they did to Grandma Rong in her previous life.

Not long after Tong Jia fell asleep, there was a rustling sound in the Yang family's yard, followed by a scream of "Ah".

It was the voices of Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen, the brothers-in-law from the old lady's family.

The couple got up early and lit a fire to cook, only to find that half of the things in the kitchen were gone. All the good food and ingredients were gone, leaving only yesterday's leftovers.

The two remained calm in the kitchen and did not scream.

Mrs. Chen said, "Old Chen, you're not tired at all. You moved so many things into the utility room? No wonder you had a backache last night."

Uncle Chen touched his bright forehead and said doubtfully, "Did I move? I don't remember. Let's go to the utility room first."

As soon as the couple opened the door of the utility room, they let out deafening screams at the same time.

Tong Jia's bridal chamber was closest to the utility room, and she was not drugged, so she woke up first.

However, she did not go out immediately.

Maybe the drug given by Meng Po was too effective, and none of the three members of the Yang family, mother and son, have woken up yet.

After waiting for Uncle Chen to knock on each door and call people, Tong Jia stood up after hearing the voice of the old lady of the Yang family. She straightened her clothes a little and let out a scream of "Ah".

The old lady of the Yang family was originally woken up by Mrs. Chen. She was rubbing her temples to wake herself up while listening to Uncle Chen and Mrs. Chen report the theft in the utility room.

He had only spoken halfway when he heard a woman's scream coming from the room of his beloved second son.

Her half-closed eyes opened instantly and she cursed, "You're a teacher's daughter, and you're making such noises on the second day after you came home. How shameless!

I can't let her ruin the reputation of our Yang family. Let's talk about what you want to say later.

Mrs. Chen, come with me and deal with that ignorant little bitch first."

Uncle Chen and Sister Chen had no choice but to follow Old Lady Yang out of the main house and walk towards the east wing.

When he reached the door, Uncle Chen wanted to knock, but the door opened as soon as he touched it.

He and Mrs. Chen exchanged a glance, then turned their gazes to Old Lady Yang at the same time.

Before Old Mrs. Yang could do anything, the door of the bridal chamber opened.

Tong Jia was still wearing her wedding dress from yesterday, but her hair had fallen down.

She opened the door and ran out with her hair disheveled. The moment she saw Old Lady Yang, she burst into tears and said, "Mother, everything in this room is gone except the bed and a quilt. Even my dowry box is gone.

Last night I didn't even get to see my husband before someone knocked me unconscious with a porcelain bottle.

It has been since I woke up, and I can't find my husband anywhere in the house.

"Did our house get robbed? Did the gentleman discover the thief and get kidnapped by him?"

When Mrs. Yang heard Tong Jia cursing her son like that, she wanted to slap her.

But Tong Jia was prepared. At the moment when Old Lady Yang was about to slap her, she bent her knees and knelt on the ground, thus avoiding the slap from Old Lady Yang with a clear conscience.

Worried about her son's safety and eager to verify the truth of Tong Jia's words, Mrs. Yang saw Tong Jia kneeling down and assumed she had admitted her mistake. She said, "I'll settle the score with you later."

Then he passed Tong Jia and walked into the bridal chamber with Uncle Chen and Sister Chen.

When she saw that there was only a bed covered with bedding in the bridal chamber, Old Lady Yang remained calm.

But her increasingly unsteady and weak steps revealed her true feelings at the moment. After seeing the empty study, Mrs. Yang fainted.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen quickly carried Old Lady Yang back to the main house. After settling Old Lady Yang down, one of them went to call a doctor while the other pinched Old Lady Yang's Ren Zhong point, trying to wake her up.

I don’t know if it was because the shock was too great or because of the aftereffects of the drugs she had taken before, but in any case, Mrs. Yang didn’t wake up until Uncle Chen brought the doctor back.

After the doctor came, he gave Mrs. Yang a few injections, and she slowly woke up.

It was at this time that a little boy about seven or eight years old came running to Uncle Chen outside the door, but Uncle Chen was in no mood to pay attention to this unfamiliar little boy.

He kicked the child and said impatiently, "We had a wedding at home yesterday, and a lot of money was spent. If you don't get it, it's your life."

Don't come here to beg so early in the morning and cause me trouble.

Get out! Get out! "

As he spoke, he was trying to find something to drive the child away.

The boy's clothes were ragged and the shoes on his feet were obviously much larger than usual. He must have picked up some old shoes that someone else had discarded.

After being kicked, the little boy did not give up. He touched his pocket and his eyes wandered between Uncle Chen and Tong Jia.

Finally, he hesitated for a moment, stood up, patted the dirt off his body, and walked to Tong Jia.

He first bowed very politely, then took out a manila envelope from his worn pocket and handed it to Tong Jia.

Tong Jia didn't answer and looked at the boy in front of her suspiciously.

The boy seemed unable to speak. Seeing that Tong Jia didn't answer his letter, he began to gesture anxiously.

He stood at the door, pointed at the east wing, made the number two with his left hand, raised his right arm above his head, shook his head, turned around and ran two steps quickly, then stopped, bent down, took something out of his pocket, and handed it to the person opposite.

Finally, he took a melancholy look at the Yang family's yard and turned away.

After this non-proprietary performance, Tong Jia roughly understood what the little boy meant.

It should be that after Yang Jixia left home last night, he felt that he should give an explanation to his family, so he found the little beggar who could not speak, gave him a pancake, and asked him to help deliver the letter.

Tong Jia asked, "Do you mean that Yang Jixia asked you to deliver this letter?"

The little boy nodded, feeling relieved.

Finally, he expressed his meaning clearly and the letter was delivered. It was worth it for him to accept the pancakes and shoes from the young master of the Yang family.

He was just about to retire when he heard Tong Jia say, "Hey, kid, don't leave yet.

I just married into the Yang family yesterday and am not familiar with their affairs. What if the Yang family suspects that I forged this letter? You have to stay and serve as a witness for me.

It was the first time that the little boy heard someone call him a child instead of a beggar.

Although he felt that he was not young at the age of ten, being called a child still sounded better than being called a little beggar.

So, the little boy who thought Tong Jia spoke nicely nodded and agreed to go with Tong Jia to meet the other members of the Yang family.

When Tong Jia brought the little boy into the main house, Yang Jiqiu and Yang Jidong were crying beside Old Lady Yang's bed, complaining that something was missing from their room.

Old Mrs. Yang had no strength left in her body and was anxious to check her private collection, so she thought of finding a reason to kick everyone out so that she could check alone.

But looking at her twin children who were already heartbroken because of losing something, Old Lady Yang couldn't bear to lose her temper at them.

Turning around and looking at her brothers and sisters-in-law from her mother's family who were busy taking care of her family, she couldn't help herself.

Although these two people make a living by working, they have no children. If they make this person angry, he may quit.

By then, the elderly, the weak, women and children in my family will be in real trouble.

When I looked up, I saw Tong Jia wearing the wedding dress she wore yesterday, with her hair loose, and she entered the main house with a little beggar.

Now she found an outlet for her venting.

But unfortunately, she still didn't vent.

Because before she could speak, Tong Jia handed her a manila envelope and said, "Mom, this child said that his teacher gave him this letter last night and asked him to deliver it to his home today.

I thought that since I am young and just married, I should bring the letter and the child here, and ask you and Uncle Chen to ask the child to see if there is any way to find the master.

Old Mrs. Yang glared at Tong Jia, but because the little boy was present, she temporarily suppressed her temper.

She was not worried that the little boy would tell others about her bad temper, but she just didn't want to scare the child and affect her inquiry into Yang Jixia's whereabouts.

Old Mrs. Yang is not very literate, but she knows the names and handwriting of her family members.

When I opened the letter and saw the last six words "Unfilial son: Yang Jixia", I couldn't help but cry and scream.

Cry for Yang Jixia's cruelty, blame him for being cruel, and blame him for being stubborn.

As he cried, he fainted again.

This time, the doctor had not left yet and was prescribing medicine for Old Mrs. Yang for recuperation.

After giving the patient a few more injections to wake him up, the doctor collected two silver dollars as a consultation fee and quickly fled the Yang family with his medicine box.

He had to escape. It was 1930. When he heard Old Mrs. Yang crying and hearing Yang Jixia say in the letter that he wanted to find freedom and a way out, anyone with a brain knew what he was going to do.

In order to avoid being implicated in the future, the doctor made up his mind on the way home that he would try not to come to the Yang family's clinics in the future.

The Yang family didn't know what the doctor was thinking, but after crying bitterly, Old Mrs. Yang seemed to realize that crying would not solve the problem.

Let Uncle Chen call his eldest son Yang Jichun and other members of the Yang family over.

If her son hadn't gotten married, she would definitely have suppressed the matter.

But today is the first day of my son’s wedding, and he will be returning home in two days.

Her son is not at home, and the Rong family attaches great importance to rules, so they will definitely frame her son.

She couldn't let her son bear any bad reputation, so she had to take the initiative to kill Rong Xintong, now known as Tong Jia.

She originally wanted to put pressure on the little boy, but after asking a question, she found out that the little boy was mute. Old Mrs. Yang was so angry that she grabbed the candlestick at hand and threw it at the little boy.

Because the little boy was left behind by her, Tong Jia didn't want the little boy to get hurt, so she didn't think much about it and used her body to block the little boy.

The candlestick hit Tong Jia's back.

Fortunately, it was daytime and the candle was not lit, otherwise Tong Jia would have been burned.

When Old Lady Yang saw that the candlestick not only did not hit the little boy, but her daughter-in-law who had just come in dared to disobey her directly, she became even angrier.

She pointed at Tong Jia and said, "You...you...you useless, lowly thing. You can't keep your own man, but you shamelessly protect a stranger. I think my Xia'er saw through your true nature, which is why she left so cruelly.

When Chun'er comes, I will have to use the family law to punish him."

Tong Jia protected the little boy and rolled her eyes at Old Lady Yang with her back to him.

I thought to myself: This skill of turning the tables is really unique. I haven't even seen your son's face, and I guess your son doesn't know what I look like either. How can he see through my true nature?

But in order to escape smoothly, she cannot be too outgoing now, at least she cannot destroy Grandma Rong's original personality in the Yang family.

Otherwise, if these shameless Yang family members went to Grandma Rong's parents' home to cause trouble for Grandma Rong's parents, it would go against Grandma Rong's original intention.

She winked at the little boy and whispered, "Cooperate with me."

Then, after seeing Uncle Chen leading a large group of people into the gate, she cried out loudly, "What did you just gesture to? Do you know where my husband went? Do you really know? Can you take me there?"

My dowry was all gone, and I didn't have a penny left.

And last night I didn't even see my husband before someone hit me on the back of the head with a vase and I fainted.

After waking up, all the things in the house that could be moved were moved away. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe that my husband could be so cruel.

If he didn't want to marry me, he could have just canceled the engagement with me. Why would he do something like this on our wedding night?

Woohoo... Why is my life so miserable... I lost my husband right after getting married. He is nowhere to be found, alive or dead. How could you, the Yang family, treat me like this?

If you're not satisfied with me from the beginning, we shouldn't get engaged.

It can't be... it can't be... Mother, your Yang family married me because you coveted the paintings my father gave me.

Now that I can draw well, am I useless?

No, I can't let you Yang family bully me like this for no reason.

Kid, what you just gestured to show me is that you know which way the second young master of the Yang family went, right?

You lead the way for me, I'll provide you with food and lodging, and no matter what happens, I'll find Yang Jixia, that heartless man, and I'll have to get to the bottom of it all, why on earth did he play such a trick on me and the Rong family!"

It’s not quite accurate to call him a heartless man, but for a moment, Tong Jia couldn’t think of any other words.

Only after she finished saying these words did she turn around and kneel down, revealing the members of the Yang family who had just been hidden by their bodies and the screen wall and had gone completely unnoticed by Old Lady Yang.

After seeing the people in the yard, Mrs. Yang's hands were shaking badly.
