Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 968 - 969 Countryside Orphan Girl 13

After the Liu Family members were taken to the police station, it wasn’t long before Jiang Dawei’s parents arrived, asking to see him.

As for Liu Jia, their daughter-in-law, they didn’t even spare her a glance. Once they saw Jiang Dawei and learned the details, the elderly couple’s temper flared.

The Jiang elders completely lost their patience. It didn’t matter that they were at a police station, nor did they care about the Liu Family overhearing. In fact, they might have hoped the Liu Family would hear them.

"I told you long ago, don’t get too close to the Liu Family."

"They’re nothing but shameless people."

"Liu Hong is their son, but did they ever lift a finger to care for him?"

"They’d rather prepare a wedding house for Liu Gang, but they wouldn’t arrange even the most basic housing for Liu Hong, who is of marriageable age. If it weren’t for Liu Hong’s decency and falling for Old Zhang Family’s girl..."

"It’s fortunate that the Zhang Family’s girl’s health isn’t good; otherwise, Liu Hong would just end up being an ox tied to a plow, earning money to support his nephew and niece without anyone helping him find a wife."

"The young man begrudgingly agreed to be the live-in son-in-law, but look at how the Liu Family has treated him. They even have the gall to demand alimony."

"Cutting ties with them was all talk. As soon as they saw Liu Hong get a position in the security department, they demanded his loyalty during holidays. If he didn’t comply, they’d cause trouble."

"And even though he endured it all, as soon as Liu Hong left, they started scheming to exploit him."

"They’re bound to reap what they’ve sown."

"And you, this time you need to seriously think about your relationship with Liu Jia."

"Little Xin has a job now, and Xiao Hui isn’t cut out for academics, so just transfer Xiao Hui to work directly." Old Madam Jiang spoke bluntly.

"That way, she won’t be stirring up trouble all the time and end up ruining the job." Whether Jiang Dawei divorces Liu Jia or stays with her, she must be tightly controlled.

This kind of behavior cannot continue; otherwise, who knows what kind of disaster might happen someday.

Jiang Dawei had no objections. "Alright, let’s do it that way."

Old Master Jiang gently patted his shoulder. "This time, don’t even think about getting promoted."

"It’s practically settled." Initially, Old Master Jiang had pulled some strings and negotiated, but then this fiasco happened, leaving him fuming.

Jiang Dawei had suspected that his promotion might fail, but he still held on to hope for a miracle. But in the end, the miracle didn’t come.

Jiang Dawei lowered his head, unwilling to let his parents see his tears.

Although he tried his best to restrain himself, how could they not notice? As his parents, they knew his heartbreak better than anyone.

Old Master Jiang couldn’t bring himself to offer comfort, like saying, "It’s okay, there’s always next time." Everyone knew: for other matters, that might be true, but in this particular scenario—being accused of exploiting a martyr—there was no recovery.

"We’ll go talk to Zhang Family’s girl and try to figure something out. No matter what, you need to get out of this mess."

"Otherwise, the charges against you won’t be light." Old Master Jiang had just looked into the situation and learned that it was very disadvantageous for Jiang Dawei.

If it weren’t for the fact that he only had this one son, Old Master Jiang really wouldn’t want to intervene. Jiang Dawei needed to learn a serious lesson.

But with only one son, it couldn’t be ignored. "And that money—make sure it’s ready for me."

Old Master Jiang might be willing to help, but he was absolutely unwilling to cover the costs himself.

Jiang Dawei didn’t dare hope his parents would foot the bill. "I know, I understand."

The Jiang elders left directly without even glancing at Liu Jia, who had been hoping anxiously for their attention.

As their daughter-in-law, all they thought about her was how unlucky she was to have married into the family.

Liu Jia watched as her in-laws left without a word, feeling deeply unsettled.

"What’s wrong with your in-laws? They didn’t even bother talking to you!" Wang Pandi had been thinking that the moment the Jiang couple arrived, she’d beg them for help.

But she hadn’t anticipated that they would leave as soon as they saw Jiang Dawei.

Liu Jia, feeling miserable, didn’t want to hear her chatter. "Enough, can you just shut up?"

"You know full well—they always looked down on us, and now, with this mess, it’s even more normal for them to treat us this way."

Wang Pandi, after being scolded, looked displeased. But there was nothing she could do. In her family of several children, Liu Jia was the only one worth bragging about.

"Uh, earlier I overheard your in-laws—it seems like they’re considering whether you two should get a divorce." Hearing the Jiang elders’ words made Wang Pandi nervous.

With their family in trouble, countless people were already mocking them. If Liu Jia got divorced, the family would absolutely become the town’s laughingstock.

Liu Jia said nothing. Wang Pandi nudged her. "Daughter, let me tell you, no matter what happens, you cannot divorce."

"If you get divorced, what’ll become of you?"

"Mom, doesn’t elder sister have a job? If that happens, she can take her work with her..." Zhou Xia suddenly thought Liu Jia’s divorce might be a good thing—it could be an opportunity to help out the family.

When Liu Jia reached retirement age, wouldn’t she be able to let Jian She inherit her position?

As soon as Zhou Xia said this, Liu Jia, Wang Pandi, and Liu Li all glared at her.

"What is it?" Zhou Xia couldn’t understand—where did she go wrong to deserve this reaction?

"Xiao Hui’s already turning 18, and they’ll ensure your elder sister transfers her job to him." In fact, the Jiang Family had intended to do this earlier. Wang Pandi had been trying to prevent Liu Jia from relinquishing her position all along.

After all, working at the supply and marketing cooperative was very different from Xiao Hui’s job elsewhere. Xiao Hui’s relationship with the Liu Family was notably distant.

"Oh, I see." Zhou Xia immediately toned down her enthusiasm. "Fine then, forget it."

"Sister, you should just keep working." At least the supply and marketing cooperative would notify the family whenever discounted items became available.

"Am I even able to keep working?" Liu Jia was feeling thoroughly defeated. "Do you think you can manage Zhang Yu and the rest, preventing them from stirring up trouble?"

"But what happened in the end? They still kept making trouble, didn’t they?" Liu Jia fumed. "I’m fed up. If I can’t enjoy peace, don’t you dare dream of it either!"

After saying that, Liu Jia no longer wanted to see her family. Just looking at them made her furious.

Zhou Xia was deeply annoyed by Liu Jia’s attitude. Despite being the elder sister-in-law, Liu Jia completely disregarded her existence and always spoke to her with a disrespectful tone.

"Hmph, wait till you’re divorced, let’s see what you’re so smug about." Though Zhou Xia kept these thoughts to herself.

She knew that Liu Jia absolutely could not be allowed to divorce. If she did, what would become of the family?

After leaving the police station, the Jiang elders headed straight to the courtyard.

They knew the Zhang Family lived directly across from the Liu Family. "Hello, are you Li Cui?" Old Master Jiang spoke first.

Li Cui was tidying up the house when she heard someone call her name. Surprised, she replied, "Yes, that’s me. And you are?"

"I’m Jiang Dawei’s father." Old Master Jiang self-introduced.

Upon hearing that he was Jiang Dawei’s father, Li Cui’s demeanor turned cold. "What are you here for?"

Meanwhile, Zhang Yu had washed all the bedding, but the Liu Family’s three generations had caused havoc with it again.

At that moment, Feng Lan returned home after work. She was already aware of the incident at her workplace and was seething with anger.

In her view, the Liu Qiang family had clearly benefited from the situation. If arrests were necessary, it should have been the old couple and Liu Qiang’s family who were detained—not her husband.

What enraged her most was how quickly the news spread. Now, people were pointing fingers at her everywhere she went. Even at work, as she cleaned the kitchen, she was closely monitored.

If she didn’t do a good job, someone would loudly reprimand her right on the spot, urging her to work faster.
