I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 120: Good and Evil will Eventually be Rewarded

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Good and Evil will Eventually be Rewarded

In such a sensitive time frame, they wouldn’t let any clue pass by.

After all, the impact of this statement was quite strong.

However, had Zhao Daju not said this, Qiao Qingyu still would have found a way to detain them for a few days.

In those days, people didn’t really care about the consequences of spreading rumors or slanders.

But everyone feared the charges of espionage and being a spy, as well as the crimes of betraying secrets.

At that time, these women were utterly unrestrained; they really dared to say anything.

She just needed to seize a few key points.

Even if they were locked up for just one day, it would keep them from daring to mention the He Family and her again.

Like Liu Qiao Wen, she guessed this woman would not dare to report her family’s situation for the rest of her life.

Thus sometimes, He Xiuyu’s identity proved very useful, and of course, the special pass he got for her from Tenghai Research Base was also quite handy.

Right, the appearance of He Xiuwen was purely accidental, but one couldn’t deny its impressive deterrent effect.

Therefore, Qiao Qingyu was very satisfied with the outcome.

"Every deed good or bad has its consequences," these words were indeed apt for Zhao Daju!

...

Two days later, He Xiuwen left with his team, but before leaving, he made a special trip to see Qiao Qingyu.

He also brought some pastries, fruits, and canned goods for Old Qiao and the others.

However, his presence was overpowering; standing there emanated an aura of sternness and coldness, making the scene awkward at times, but he merely greeted them and quickly departed with his team.

At that moment, Qiao Qingyu remembered that she hadn’t yet called He Xiuyu.

She dialed He Xiuyu’s office number and was surprised when someone picked up after just a few rings.

This was the first time she heard He Xiuyu’s voice over the phone.

His deep, magnetic, pleasant male voice came through the receiver, sending an indescribable shiver through her.

Curling her lips into a smile, Qiao Qingyu even softened her tone.

"I’ve been somewhat busy these past days and forgot to call you. I’m fine, how is Rongrong?"

"Rongrong’s at kindergarten, a bit down, but she’s okay. What have you been busy with?" He Xiuyu asked slowly.

"I just came back and ran into a little issue, but it’s resolved now."

He Xiuyu paused for a moment on the other end of the line, but didn’t continue to inquire; someone was talking to him, and he was obviously busy, so Qiao Qingyu quickly hung up.

In the Qiao Family Team headquarters, Qiao Qingyu was alone; Sun Dazhang and Uncle Qiao were outside, squatting and smoking dry tobacco.

The captain had lost weight over those two days; he had never imagined that pulling out one radish would bring up so much dirt and even lead to catching a murderer.

But it was indeed hateful.

Although Qiao Laos didn’t physically intervene, he watched with his own eyes as Zhao Daju smothered his paralyzed wife.

Such a cruel heart—just the thought of it sent a chill down one’s spine.

And it was truly terrifying.

Although many knew about this, none dared to discuss it openly.

The other three women were still detained, and they could only be released after all issues were thoroughly investigated.

Thus, Sun Dazhang deeply realized the truth of the saying that trouble comes from careless talk.

Not only Sun Dazhang realized this, those who were detained—Second Aunt Li, Aunt Zhu, and Accountant Zhang’s wife—also grasped the grave lesson.

This experience was bitterly painful.

Not just embarrassing, it was absolutely terrifying.

These four women often ganged up to gossip about others, never imagining that Zhao Daju, who always mocked and degraded others to elevate her own image as a noble and pure person, turned out to be a murderer.

Isn’t it terrifying?

Of course, it’s terrifying!

Scared to death!!!

...

On the fifth day, all three of them were released.

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, their mouths, for the first time in their lives, were tightly shut.

Not just now, but in the future as well.

In the dead of the night, Accountant Zhang secretly asked Li Cuifen what the Old Mountain Eagle was all about, but he hadn’t expected Li Cuifen to be so frightened that she almost passed out and quickly covered his mouth.

Accountant Zhang finally realized something and dared not ask again.

Of course, these were just small side stories.

Having been at the Qiao Family Team for almost a week now, Qiao Qingyu was recording the growth conditions of the experimental corn in her laboratory space.

The dandelions planted by Uncle and his elder brother were growing very well, it seemed they would be ready to be harvested and dried in a while.

By preliminary calculation, it could be about several hundred pounds.

She needed to contact the traditional medicine factory in the provincial city about this, it had to be put on her schedule.

Her elder brother’s flower seeds had already grown over 30 centimeters tall, the leaves were glossy green, and the plants were thick overall; these were ornamental roses.

Since there were no flower pots, wooden troughs were used, and they had planted over a hundred of them.

It was still the 1980s, and the cities hadn’t started their greenification projects yet, and the top priority in Huaxia Country was the household-responsibility system followed by the reform and opening-up policies.

Only when people were well-fed and had money in their pockets would the flower industry start to thrive.

For now, the focus was still on farming.

If possible, they could completely set up a large vegetable greenhouse in autumn.

Her lab space had greenhouse vegetables suitable for the climate of North City.

After recording all these, Qiao Qingyu leaned back in her chair; her elder brother and his wife had gone to the fields, and both her nephew and niece had gone to school, yet she still hadn’t seen Han Xianglan.

Han Xianglan was in bad health and couldn’t handle shocks, if she didn’t want to see her, Qingyu really couldn’t force a meeting.

But she still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

There was a desk in the room, made by Qiao Zhicai from very beautiful and clear-grained rubber wood.

After all, there was rubber wood in the nearby mountains, but in recent years, it had become scarce and logging was not allowed.

However, there were only a few books in the house; the original owner did not love studying and thus didn’t enjoy reading.

Moreover, the environment back then was a bit chaotic, so studying stopped by the fourth grade.

Qiao Qingyu searched the entire house but really didn’t find any notebooks or slips of paper.

She had been worried about her penmanship, but she couldn’t just not write, and there were many more slip-ups on her part; she decided not to care too much about it.

Seeing that there wasn’t a single word here, she couldn’t quite describe her feelings.

Qiao Qingyu prepared to go to the old house.

Now, Aunt Zhu was the head of the old house.

Although Aunt Zhu looked down on her and was cold towards her now, seeing her fight with Zhao Daju at the entrance of the village made Qiao Qingyu greet her with a smile.

She also heard from her brother that these two families, including her second uncle’s family, didn’t have a penny in savings.

Furthermore, due to Han Xianglan’s illness, they had incurred a considerable amount of external debt.

This money was all borrowed by Qiao Zhiyuan.

Qiao Qingyu couldn’t let Uncle continue to struggle. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

She carried a bag with 300 yuan in it.

Actually, she could have given more, but money, even when given, shouldn’t be given like that.

It needs to be done gradually.
