Chapter 388: Chapter 388 Little Nuan Starts Digging Pits

Song Yunuan continued, "I heard from my classmate, whose family has a relative from the same village as Luo Zhishan, that he’s currently looking for a wife. He’s offering a pair of silver bracelets as a betrothal gift and giving a hundred yuan as the bride price. I’ve heard that many families are interested."

Zhu Feng was stunned for a moment, feeling that Little Nuan’s approach was somewhat inappropriate.

She glanced back at the door.

When she heard noise earlier, Whang Xiaoman was eavesdropping at the doorway.

There was a small gap left in the door.

She had originally closed it, but Little Nuan had pulled it open a bit, and at the time, she didn’t stop her.

Because she didn’t know what Little Nuan was up to.

But she caught sight of Whang Xiaoman sneakily standing outside.

Zhu Feng angrily said, "Those silver bracelets are mine. She received them when she entered the family, and I gave them to her again. On her two visits back since then, I never saw her wearing them. When I asked her where the bracelets were, she said she lost them."

Zhu Feng didn’t believe it one bit.

Anything that came into her hands, she wouldn’t easily let go of.

Now it appears that if the bracelets weren’t with her, they were with Luo Zhishan.

Zhu Feng furiously slapped the table.

Song Yunuan continued, "Perhaps those silver bracelets of Luo Zhishan’s are actually Whang Xiaoman’s. But why didn’t she take them back when she divorced him?

Ah, I’ve figured it out. It must be that Luo Zhishan refused to give them back and lied to her about losing them, actually saving them for marrying a third wife.

I heard that when Luo Zhishan married her, he didn’t give her anything at all, it was practically reverse dowry.

But this time, Luo Zhishan is really investing. Luo Zhishan’s mother is going around saying that she will treat this daughter-in-law well, as if she were her own daughter.

And both children don’t have to be raised by the other side; they’ll just take care of their own kids, and she will raise the two children..."

Zhu Feng felt that Little Nuan was saying this deliberately.

She also thought that Little Nuan was intentionally angering Whang Xiaoman.

"What kind of person, what kind of fate. Some people, after all their scheming, end up being taken advantage of by others. They think they are so great, but they also have to swallow their pride. Serves them right!"

Song Yunuan flipped off the kang, devoured the potatoes, then wiped her hands and said to Zhu Feng, "Granny, I have to go back now; my uncle will be checking my homework in a bit."

When Song Yunuan went out, she indeed saw Whang Xiaoman in the living room with a ferocious expression.

After Song Yunuan left, Zhu Feng immediately questioned where the silver bracelets had gone.

This time, Whang Xiaoman didn’t say a word, but glared at Zhu Feng with a dark expression, snapped back with a few retorts, and then stormed off to Xique’s room.

Song Yunuan didn’t return to the Song family.

Instead, she went to find Chu Zizhou, saying she needed to make a trip to the commune.

Chu Zizhou was also planning to go to the commune.

On the way there, Song Yunuan briefed Chu Zizhou about the purpose of her visit and the few lines she needed him to cooperate with later.

Chu Zizhou grinned as he looked at Song Yunuan, knowing that the young girl was up to mischief.

But he also asked Song Yunuan, "Will doing this be effective?"

"As long as they continue to behave as they’re currently showing, it’ll definitely be effective."

Chu Zizhou recalled Whang Xiaoman’s behavior and felt it should work.

Upon arriving at the commune, Song Yunuan led Chu Zizhou to a warehouse where a group of people was working.

Now that Chu Zizhou’s presence at the commune had been settled, the logistics manager, leading the work, recognized Chu Zizhou and came over with a smile to greet him.

The two exchanged a few words.

Song Yunuan seemed quite anxious, showing impatience, and asked Chu Zizhou, "Brigade Leader, do you know where our commune’s police station is?"

Chu Zizhou had been waiting a long time and finally got to the point.

"What do you need the police station for?"

"I’m going to make a report."

"What kind of report are you making?" Chu Zizhou asked with wide shocked eyes.

Song Yunuan said, "I want to sue Whang Xiaoman.

My granny had a pair of ancestral silver bracelets. When she entered the family, my grandmother gave them to her personally.

But when she divorced my uncle, she had the gall to take the bracelets with her."

"Considering Xique was her mother, my grandma didn’t ask her for the bracelets, but here she is back again, right?"

"But although she’s back, she came empty-handed, without even a trace of the silver bracelets, and she lied to my grandma, claiming they were lost."

"Obviously, it was their trick, and it’s possible they had a fake divorce with the intention to let Whang Xiaoman come back to my grandma’s place to swindle money."

"After all, the Song family’s living conditions have really improved now."

Reporting the lost pair of silver bracelets to the police was possible.

Song Yunuan’s voice was crisp enough that everyone present could hear.

There was no Luo Zhishan here, but Brother Luo was working here.

His gaze flickered and then he watched as Brigade Leader Chu, soon to be the deputy director, walked with a young girl towards the police station.

So, he asked the logistics manager for leave, saying that he suddenly remembered a family emergency and wanted to leave early.

The logistics manager didn’t make a fuss and let him go.

Song Yunuan really went to report the case.

Of course, President Huang, upon learning that Song Yunuan and Chu Zizhou had arrived, hurried over excitedly.

This young lady must not be slighted.

If he had his position today, he owed 60% of his gratitude to Song Yunuan, 20% to Chu Zizhou, and the remaining 20% was due to his own efforts.

President Huang was diligent and humble in his work.

So there were no objections to his promotion.

Upon knowing that Song Yunuan had come to file a report, President Huang immediately adopted a serious demeanor and insisted on giving the case careful attention.

How could President Huang be unaware of the affairs of the Xia family?

But he did not allow people in the commune to discuss these gossips.

Now that a report had been filed, he wanted to understand the details clearly.

Song Yunuan succinctly relayed the situation.

At the end, Song Yunuan said, "I came to file a report, and my grandma doesn’t even know yet."

Chu Zizhou then said, "Your grandmother is embarrassed."

Song Yunuan replied, "What’s there to be embarrassed about? If the silver bracelets really are with Luo Zhishan, then we must get them back.

My mother is also the daughter of my grandma, why can’t she have them?

Otherwise, they could be given to my aunt when my youngest uncle gets married."

This reasoning made sense.

If the silver bracelets in Luo Zhishan’s possession were indeed Zhu Feng’s, then it was rightful for her to ask for them back.

These were bracelets left by her parents.

The police station agreed to take on the case.

They said they would investigate immediately and instructed Song Yunuan to go home and wait for news.

Meanwhile, in the little mountain village, Brother Luo went to his brother’s house.

Brother Luo was feeling aggrieved.

What was he thinking?

Having been married twice already, was he still expecting their parents to shell out money for another wedding?

Brother Luo absolutely could not agree to this.

Though Whang Xiaoman was no good, she was at least bearable for getting by, which was better than the current situation.

Besides, Whang Xiaoman was genuinely sincere toward Luo Zhishan.

Consequently, Brother Luo used their mother’s situation to start the discussion. The talk about the bracelets had already spread throughout the commune.

He also mentioned that the Xia family had sent someone to file a report, and it was none other than Brigade Leader Chu who led the way personally.

Luo Zhishan immediately changed his expression; he had swindled Whang Xiaoman out of the bracelets, which he had kept just the day before yesterday.

However, he didn’t mention the bracelets then, he only said something about the betrothal gift.

So how did the Xia family find out?

Therefore, Luo Zhishan accused Brother Luo of being the one who spilled the beans.
