In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

After several days of no results, Li finally realized that this approach was a dead end.

"It seems that we can only start with Meng's side and plead for mercy. I believe that she will give us a way out for the sake of our family."

It sounds nice, but in fact he just wants to take advantage of Meng's kindness and weak character.

During the time Meng stayed with her daughter, her mood improved a lot, and her complexion changed dramatically compared to before.

As long as her second uncle and his family weren't around to cause trouble, her mood wouldn't be affected.

You should know that the reason why Meng came to the capital for treatment was because she fainted from anger because her second uncle's family kept asking her for money in her hometown.

"Sister Meng, you see, we really can't survive outside. Can you give us another chance? I promise that this time we will definitely be quiet in your house and won't cause trouble again."

While Meng was out shopping, Li and the second uncle surrounded her. They took turns attacking her, and even though Meng didn't want to pay attention to them, she gradually couldn't withstand it.

Seeing this, Jiang Yiqing on the side immediately started to drive them away.

"I say, you two, do you have any shame? You really think others are fools, don't you? You are the only two smart ones. Don't think that others can't see that you are here to take advantage. Just live an honest life back home. At least you have a few acres of land to farm."

"Instead, you're lazy and unwilling to make progress. I'd say you've brought this upon yourself."

Li was unwilling to be stepped on by others, so he cursed in the street.

"What does it have to do with you? We should handle our family affairs behind closed doors. What qualifications do you, an outsider, have to talk nonsense here?"

Seeing her good friend being treated like this, Meng also became angry.

"Get away from me. Don't hang around me. If you have the ability, go and convince Zhizhi. It's impossible to find a breakthrough from me."

This time, Meng didn't leave them any chance at all. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left without hesitation.

Second uncle didn't say anything the whole time. His eyes were fixed on Jiang Yiqing. This man was not only lazy and gluttonous, but also lustful.

It was obvious that Jiang Yiqing's beauty caught his attention and he had her on his mind.

Li did not notice her husband's actions. She was still determined to sneak into the mansion. On the way back, she complained a lot that her husband did not help her.

"You go back and rest first, I have to go out for a while."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Li family was furious.

"Are you thinking of going to the casino again? I'm telling you, if you run up gambling debts again this time, I won't be able to pay you back. You'll just have to throw your life away there."

"What are you talking about? I said I don't want to gamble, so I won't gamble. I'll think of a way to see if I can get in."

Li looked suspicious, but she didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the second uncle left, he followed Jiang Yiqing quietly, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Fortunately, Su Zhizhi had always arranged people to keep an eye on him, so when he made any move, Su Zhizhi was the first to notice it.

"This stubborn guy won't change. He'll be beaten to death outside one day."

He must not succeed, so Su Zhizhi followed quietly behind him, planning to find an opportunity to rescue Jiang Yiqing.

This guy is so bold and daring that he dares to touch anyone.

When passing through a small alley, there were people around and my uncle finally found an opportunity.

Just when he was about to rush up, he found Su Zhizhi appearing from somewhere.

"What do you want to do?"

"Niece, why are you here? I was just about to go back to where I live. Could it be that you changed your mind and wanted to take us home?"

Second uncle was embarrassed when his trick was discovered. He wanted to argue for himself, but his eyes were always on Jiang Yiqing's back while he spoke.

"People like you will suffer in hell if you continue to commit thieves."

Su Zhizhi kicked her second uncle in the chest, and the other person flew backwards and hit the wall behind him hard.

Then she stepped forward and kicked him hard a few more times. Second Uncle had been beaten all over by the group of people in the casino recently and had not yet fully recovered. How could he withstand it these past few days? After a few kicks, he was lying on the ground, half dead.

The movement behind him had obviously caught Jiang Yiqing's attention a long time ago.

She had long noticed that someone had been following her, but she had never turned around. Sensing movement behind her, Jiang Yiqing turned around and took a sneak peek. Recognizing Su Zhizhi, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at my second uncle lying on the ground, he had no idea what had happened and his face was ashen with anger.

"This guy really doesn't know what's good for him. Thanks to you, otherwise it wouldn't be so easy for me to get rid of him today."

"Aunt Jiang, don't worry. I will definitely not let him bully you. Let's go and let him fend for himself here."

My second uncle was just groaning on the ground, looking half dead, but in fact he was just pretending, trying to use this opportunity to escape.

The two thought that the matter was over, but not long after they returned home, Li came hurriedly to mourn and said that her second uncle had been beaten to death.

Su Zhizhi and Jiang Yiqing looked at each other in bewilderment. They were unwilling to trust anyone, so they went to check what happened and found that their second uncle was indeed dead.

"I'm going to report this to the police and demand justice. This wicked man has left me, a woman, behind. How am I going to live in the future?"

Don't look at Li crying now. In fact, the reason she acts like this is just to find the real culprit and pay compensation.

To say that there is any relationship between her and her second uncle is undoubtedly overthinking. Her second uncle has been involved in all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling for so many years, and Li has long wanted to get out of it. This is also an opportunity for her.

It is even possible that she did it on purpose. After all, Su Zhizhi was very measured when she took action, and she knew very well that she would never beat anyone to death.

Xie Chengjin, standing by, noticed something was wrong with Su Zhizhi. Su Zhizhi was clearly worried. However, he didn't ask about it in public, intending to ask her privately what had happened.

"What's going on? Could this matter have anything to do with you?"

Facing Xie Chengjin's questioning, Su Zhizhi did not hide anything and told him about her previous encounter with her second uncle following Jiang Yiqing.

Xie Chengjin was silent. He certainly would not expose Su Zhizhi to the outside world. The reason for his silence was that he was just thinking about how to deal with this matter so as not to leave hidden dangers for himself.

"Just pretend you know nothing and tell Aunt Jiang not to let anything slip. I'll take care of the rest. I'm sure we won't be involved in any lawsuits."

Su Zhizhi nodded.

Not long after, officials came to question them. Just as Xie Chengjin had said, Su Zhizhi and Jiang Yiqing insisted that they had never seen their second uncle and had no idea what had happened.
