A scumbag man trying to climb the social ladder? She turns around and marries a celibate military of

After Mu Xiaowan relayed the message, she was no longer in a hurry and went to prepare the meal.

She simply waited for Bai Jiao'e to come and negotiate with her.

Jiang Yinglan noticed that Mu Xiaowan was troubled, so she pulled Mu Xiaowan aside.

"What happened?"

Mu Xiaowan didn't hide it from her.

"My second uncle and his family actually hired a thief to steal things in order to get the house back. Yesterday, the thief was caught and implicated my second uncle."

Jiang Yinglan knew that the second son's family had a habit of taking advantage of others, but she never expected them to do something like this.

"Then what are you going to do?"

It's clear that Mu Xiaowan already has a plan.

"Even if we accuse them, we can't do anything to my second uncle and the others. But we have to teach them a lesson and let them know my stance, otherwise what else might they do?"

This is also why she didn't take people directly to the police station.

If things completely fall apart, not only will she be powerless to stop them, but they might even become more aggressive.

Jiang Yinglan agreed with Mu Xiaowan's approach.

“Your second uncle and aunt have really gone too far this time. Do whatever you want. Your dad and I are here for you. We will back you up.”

"Thank you mom!"

With Jiang Yinglan's support, Mu Xiaowan became even more confident.

“Junbai has been busy these past few days and hasn’t been back much. If you want to stay at the military base, that’s fine too. Just have Junbai write an application, and you can go whenever you want. That way, the military will allocate housing to you as soon as possible.”

Jiang Yinglan knew that her son didn't want to apply, but if Chu Junbai applied, she would definitely approve a set for him.

She said this in the hope that Mu Xiaowan and Chu Junbai would get closer and develop a stronger relationship.

"Mom, I'm quite busy these days, so I'd better come home to stay. It's not convenient to go anywhere else."

Jiang Yinglan knew that there was no time to rush it, so she said, "I have some industrial vouchers here. Go buy a bicycle, and I'll give you the money."

After spending these days with Mu Xiaowan, Jiang Yinglan felt that the child was not bad.

Aside from the initial unpleasantness, Mu Xiaowan's family background isn't great. Speaking of Mu Xiaowan alone, she does meet her standards for a daughter-in-law.

She is reasonable, intelligent, and knows how to handle situations.

They remain calm and composed even when faced with challenges.

Therefore, she now treats Mu Xiaowan as family and is genuinely kind to her.

"Mom, no need. I ride Shaoqing's bicycle to and from get off work. There's no need to waste money."

She wants to buy a car when she has money in the future.

Because she has no sense of balance, she always wobbled from side to side when learning to ride a bicycle. After falling several times, she gave up learning.

In modern times, her classmates all ride bicycles to school, while she either walks or takes the bus. She envies those who can ride bicycles.

Later, she envied those who could ride electric bikes, because they were less likely to get stuck in traffic and it was very convenient.

She thought the SUV was too big, so she bought a "chopped pepper fish head" instead. Although it was clever, it was still not as convenient as an electric scooter.

Jiang Yinglan wanted to say something, but she stopped herself from speaking.

In the courtyard, Bai Jiao'e pulled Chu Shaoze back.

"Shaoze, quickly contact someone to go to the police station and tell that person to keep his mouth shut. When he gets out, we won't treat him badly. If he dares to say anything bad, we won't let him get away with it."

Chu Shaoze wore a black woolen overcoat and shiny leather shoes, exuding an air of officialdom.

His eyes were dark and unfathomable.

"Mom, don't worry. Even if they accuse us, we'll insist that we were framed. I have political enemies, and so does Dad. We'll just say that someone can't stand to see the Chu family doing well and is trying to sow discord."

"Anyway, he doesn't have any evidence. As for seeing me, I'm often in the newspapers, and many people in this big provincial capital know me. That can't be used as evidence to identify me."

Bai Jiao'e said, "I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is that this matter will reach the old man's ears."

The old man is such a shrewd person; there's no need for him to make excuses. He knows perfectly well what's going on.

“Tell that person to shut up! If he’s already told others, I’ll talk to Xiao Wan. If she’s smart, she won’t let this come to light. Otherwise, even if we’re the ones who’s wrong, Mu Xiao Wan won’t get any credit with your grandparents.”

What the elderly appreciate is generosity.

"I see!"

"Also, take Mu Xue to look at houses these next few days. We'll buy one for you first. Don't count on your grandfather's house."

Bai Jiao'e took out five hundred yuan from her pocket.

"Buy Mu Xue a few more clothes, some gold and silver jewelry, and some new watches at the department store. Buy one for Mu Xue; as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chu family, she absolutely cannot be stingy."

Bai Jiao'e lowered her voice.

“Even if the old man doesn’t give in, we still have to maintain our dignity and make sure we outdo Chu Junbai. So what if your uncle is the eldest son and Chu Junbai is the eldest grandson? You are the first grandson of the Chu family, so he will always put you first.”

“Now that the An family is helping you, even if your grandfather passes away in the future, you will still be the most powerful. Even Chu Junbai will have to bow down to you.”

Chu Shaoze didn't take the money. "Mom, I have money."

He's been working for several years. If he doesn't even have this much savings, what's the point of him working?

Bai Jiao'e looked at her son with a face full of relief.

"Shaoze, you have always been your mother's pride. If your younger brother were even a tenth as good as you, your mother wouldn't have to worry so much."

“That kid spends all his time with that country woman, he’s not learning anything good. We should get him a proper job as soon as possible. That way I can keep an eye on him.” Chu Shaoze’s face was full of disgust when he mentioned Mu Xiaowan.

"Sigh, I can't talk to that kid. Every time I talked to him before, he would either run away or not come home for days. Now he thinks he's found a job he likes, so he won't listen to me."

"Never mind him for now, you go quickly."

After seeing Chu Shaoze off, Bai Jiao'e returned home.

After that phone call from Mu Xiaowan this morning, he seemed a little uneasy whenever he saw me, Xiaowan.

She was puzzled. What was so scary about a country girl?

"Second Aunt, hurry up and eat, these buns are getting cold."

Mu Xiaowan sat next to Chu Zhihui, and on the other side was Jiang Yinglan. Chu Junbai had left early in the morning, but she didn't know when he left; she hadn't seen him since she woke up.

Mu Xiaowan ladled a bowl of eight-treasure porridge for Bai Jiao'e, "Second Aunt, would you like some sugar or pickled vegetables?"

"Oh, okay, I'll have pickled vegetables."

While drinking her porridge, Chu Shaoting rolled her eyes at Mu Xiaowan, saying, "Unsolicited kindness is either a trick or a thief."

When Mu Xiaowan has free time, she only serves rice to the old man, the old woman, and her parents-in-law. She rarely cares about others, especially her second uncle's family.

It's no wonder Chu Shaoting was surprised.

Mu Xiaowan glanced at Bai Jiao'e. Even Chu Shaoting could see that something was wrong with her, so she didn't believe that Bai Jiao'e wouldn't say something to her.

But Mu Xiaowan was wrong. Bai Jiao'e sat down to eat with a calm expression.

Since that's the case, then she shouldn't hide it anymore.

Mu Xiaowan pulled down her collared sweater.

Her movement drew Chu Zhihui's attention to her neck.

"Sister-in-law, what happened to your neck?"
