Zhao Biao had been keeping watch near Yun Shan’s house for a few days, but Wu Mei did not show up. Just as Zhao Biao was about to get annoyed from waiting, a woman wearing a black headscarf poked her head out. She was carrying a food box in her hand. It looked like she was going to deliver food to Yun Shan, who was working at the medicine store.
Although the woman was wearing a black headscarf, Zhao Biao still recognized his wife at a glance.
“That damn woman, I knew she was having an affair with Yun Shan. Damn it!”
Zhao Biao followed Wu Mei and went to a small alley with no one around. He quickly went forward and forced her toward the wall.
“You damn woman, you’ve finally been caught by me! Do you still dare to run? Where can you run to? Don’t forget that this is a society ruled by law. We’re a legal couple.”
Zhao Biao held Wu Mei’s wrist in his hand and threatened her.
Wu Mei was so scared that she trembled. Nonetheless, the difference in strength between a man and a woman was too big. She could only submit.
She cried and begged for mercy while saying that she was forced to do so.
“You said that you were forced to do so? Who forced you? I think you were quite willing.”
Zhao Biao exerted more force on Wu Mei’s wrist. She cried from the pain and could only shake her head desperately.
“I’m telling the truth. I was really forced. I did it for our family!”
Wu Mei cried and complained. It looked like it was true.
Zhao Biao still had feelings for Wu Mei. Although he often abused his wife, he had never thought of fooling around outside.
“My reunion with Yun Shan was a coincidence. I originally wanted to just reminisce about the past, but I found out that their family conditions are really good. Look, their house is in the center of the county, which is the most expensive place here. If their family doesn’t have any assets, how could they possibly buy a house in this place?!”
Wu Mei desperately thought of an excuse while secretly peeking at Zhao Biao’s expression, afraid that he would fly into a rage.
Sure enough, Zhao Biao immediately fell silent after hearing it.
Yun Shan’s house was indeed not bad. It was in the center of the county and was a house that many people wanted to buy but did not dare to.
“What does this have to do with our family?”
“Listen to me!”
Wu Mei saw that Zhao Biao’s emotions were being controlled. She quickly broke free from him.
Zhao Biao sat on the ground and opened the food box Wu Mei had prepared for Yun Shan. The meat dishes in the food box looked appetizing.
“You even prepared a lot of things for him, but he won’t be able to enjoy them anymore. Let me enjoy the food instead.”
After saying that, Zhao Biao picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
“Go on.”
“I’ve discovered some secrets in his family these past few days. His family is able to live such a good life now entirely because of the man who wanted to break your wrist that day.”
“That so-called local military chief?”
Zhao Biao swallowed the mouthful of meat and responded.
“That’s right. Although he’s a soldier, it’s clear that his family is very rich. Besides, he’s Yun Shan’s son-in-law, so naturally, he’ll take care of his father-in-law. Why don’t we…”
Wu Mei also squatted down and went to Zhao Biao’s side, whispering to him.
The two of them discussed, and a plan gradually emerged in their minds.
Zhao Biao started to look more impudent.
He happily patted Wu Mei’s butt.
“As expected of the most vicious woman. I wonder if I’ll be sold by you in the future! Let’s do this then. After we get the money from Yun Shan, we’ll use part of it to pay off the debt, and we’ll use part of it for you and me to go far away.”
“Then I’ll take my leave first.”
Wu Mei stood up and left.
Zhao Biao looked at Wu Mei’s graceful figure, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile.
“Perform well. Whether or not we can turn the tables depends on your acting!”
After saying that, Zhao Biao turned to another alley and disappeared from Wu Mei’s sight.
Wu Mei wiped the sweat off her palms. It seemed that she had finally dealt with it. That said, she had not made up her mind whether or not to carry out the plan.
