Chapter 101 - “You are right. Our days will only get better from this point forward!” (2)

So she was there trying to convince the others.

He had an inkling when he heard her talking. That was part of the reason he didn’t go inside and call her out on her lies.

Now that he knew she lied to help the others, the remaining doubts in him were gone.

Most people in the world wanted to avoid troubles and would rather choose to overlook others’ suffering.

Her being able to stand out courageously as a witness and also convince others to do the same, the little white lie paled in comparison.

Her words, “My boyfriend’s surname is Wen”, however, touched something in him and the tips of his ears started turning red under the light.

Tong Xuelu went to work at the fabric factory just like normal the next day. For the sake of being consistent with her previous lie, she covered up her forehead with her bangs.

With the exception of Tong Jiaming, she did not mention to anyone that she was about to switch jobs.

The Xu family was finally able to get enough money to pay her back and Zhou Fang had started going in to work.

Many at the compound understood why Tong Xuelu did not return to the village with the gang from Beihe but a few were bitter.

The Xu family felt that they owed Tong Xuelu a huge favor and would speak up for her all the time. Mother Xu would be the first to tear into someone who was being unreasonable.

As such, Tong Xuelu didn’t even need to lift a finger and all the rumors within the compound were gone.

After a week and right when Tong Xuelu was so tired that she thought she was about to get back problems, she finally heard back from Su Xiuying.

He Baogen and Old Mrs. He had been sentenced for abusing and insulting woman. Both of them were sentenced to 5 years imprisonment and would be sent to the farm for reforming in a few days.

When Su Xiuying decided to report her husband and her mother-in-law, she had spent her daughter back to her parent’s family ahead of time. She never returned to the He’s house after she had left the police station but went back to her parent’s place.

When the Su family saw her returning with all the bruises on her face, they were all angry and said that He Baogen was an animal. That being said, nobody said that she should get a divorce or wanted to back her up.

Su Xiuying felt a pang of disappointment but, one way or another, she needed to maintain her relationship with her family.

She had already committed something “outrageous”. If she severed her relationship with her family, she would really not be able to remain in Capital City.

She then informed her family about how she had turned in He Baogen and his mother.

Just as she had expected, her family went ballistic instantly. They shouted at her while pointing straight at her nose and told her to rescind the report right away.

She looked at her family expressionlessly and then brought up the idea of having her second nephew take over He Baogen’s job.

And then there was silence.

Enough was sad. Her family’s attitude turned around completely and they started saying how He Baogen and his mother were animals and that they would stand behind her fully.

Su Xiuying sneered in her heart but did not let that show on her face. She went with those in her family to complete the transfer process at the metal plant.

Those at the metal factory were so stunned after finding out that Su Xiuying had reported He Baogen and his mother and was transferring He Baogen’s position over to her nephew that one could shove shoes into their mouths.

After the initial shock had surpassed, everybody started accusing her of being unconscientious. The Hes’ relatives, in particular, rolled their sleeves up and were about to beat her up.

This time, Su Xiuying did not need to fend for herself. Those from her maiden family rushed up, stood in front of her, and yelled back at those other people. They even shouted about going to report them to the cops.

With He Baogen as an example, the others were intimidated instantly.

Su Xiuying had no particular feelings even when her family had stood up for her.

After the process had been completed, Su Xiuying bought some fruit candies and snacks and went looking for Tong Xuelu the next day.
