Chapter 30 The terminally ill mother-in-law who killed her daughter-in-law 14

When Xie's father received the notification from the police, his first reaction was not to care about Xie's mother, but to ask if Ye Zhiqiu was injured. The police, who were unaware of the situation, thought he was worried about Ye Zhiqiu, and quickly comforted him that nothing serious had happened and Ye Zhiqiu was only slightly injured.

Father Xie cursed Mother Xie in his heart for being useless, but on his face he pretended to be sad and upset, and kept saying that it was all his fault for not realizing Mother Xie's bad intentions earlier.

Not to mention the police, even if Ye's father and mother saw his reaction, they would not continue to scold him. But it was impossible for Xie's father to ask them to let Xie's mother go.

At this time, Xie's father did not know that it would affect his eldest son's future. He was just pretending to ask the Ye family for help. Telling others about it would make him feel just to Xie's mother. When relatives and friends knew about it, they would also praise him for being loyal and righteous.

Ye Zhiqiu quietly watched Xie's father perform, and did not forget to remind him: "Why are you the only one here? Xie Yuan and his elder brother don't know about this yet?"

Father Xie showed an embarrassed expression: "It's not a good thing, I didn't tell them."

Father Ye immediately showed a look of disapproval: "You are wrong. You didn't tell them about such a big thing. What if they can't see each other for the last time?"

Ye's mother also nodded in agreement: "It's no use begging us. The judgment is up to the court. You might as well prepare for your funeral as soon as possible."

This was a bit heartbreaking, but Ye's mother did it on purpose. Who told Xie's mother to kill someone? Her daughter was lucky that nothing happened. If something happened, their family would be ruined.

Father Xie was not a person who could tolerate much anger. He did not want to listen to Mother Ye's harsh words, so he turned around and left. It was none of his business whether Mother Xie lived or died. The sooner she died, the sooner she could be reborn. He could still find a younger partner to take care of her, instead of having to do everything himself now.

Father Xie was not planning to inform his two sons, but with such a big thing, eldest brother Xie would receive the news without him notifying him.

He was not stupid. He called Xie's mother once or twice but couldn't find her. So he naturally became suspicious. He called the relative to ask, what else could he not know?

Brother Xie took leave and rushed back to his hometown immediately. When he saw that Xie's father was alone at home and Xie Yuan was still abroad, he couldn't help but say some harsh words.

"Why don't you call Xie Yuan back? If he couldn't handle the household chores well, why would Mom kill someone?" Brother Xie's anger was due to his mother's worry, but he was more concerned about his own future.

He was not as ignorant as Xie's father. If this matter was not handled properly, he might even have to resign. Although he would be arranged a job after resigning due to his hard work over the past few years, this was not the life he wanted at all.

He was still thinking about making further progress, but now, let alone making further progress, it would be good enough if he could keep his current position. He couldn't tell Xie's father about these things, but he had no problem teaching Xie Yuan a lesson.

The eldest brother is like a father. As a grown man, he failed to handle household affairs properly and caused a scandal known to the whole county. If he doesn't learn a lesson, he will only get into bigger trouble in the future.

Brother Xie had a good idea, but unfortunately Xie Yuan was far away abroad. He called to contact the person, but the person on the other end rejected him by saying, "I'm too busy at work, I can't take leave, and I can't leave."

Xie Yuan would never return to China at this cusp of the storm. Why would he go back? To make people laugh at him? He has already become a joke, so he doesn't mind being even more shameless. Anyway, people will only laugh at him behind his back. The actual benefits he gets are more important.

Brother Xie originally planned to ask Xie Yuan to intercede for him. A husband and wife are bound by love for a hundred days. Ye Zhiqiu must have loved him terribly to marry him. Even if he doesn't love her now, with a child in the middle, Xie Yuan's intercede will definitely be more effective than his intercede.

As a result, Xie Yuan wanted to desert, so he had to go himself.

Brother Xie knew that the Ye family would not easily sign a letter of understanding, but he still underestimated the difficulty of the matter. He didn't even have the chance to enter the Ye family, but fortunately he had other preparations.

The problem is that it is useless to meet the Ye family. Neither Ye's father nor Ye's mother agrees to issue a letter of apology, let alone Ye Zhiqiu.

"Aren't you worried that it will affect your child's future civil service exams?" Brother Xie didn't understand Ye Zhiqiu's insistence. She was only slightly injured, and as long as she was willing to write a letter of apology, Xie's mother's charge of assault could be much lighter.

If he does some manipulation, he can say that Xie's mother acted impulsively because of her illness, and maybe she can be exempted from criminal responsibility. Yes, this matter may be unfair to her, but for the sake of the child's future, what does it matter if she suffers a little?

If you are really so stubborn, aren’t you afraid that your children will blame you in the future?

Ye Zhiqiu chuckled. It wasn't a province with a large number of civil servants. Would there be no future if she didn't take the civil servant exam? She was working hard to make money now, so that her children wouldn't be too tired no matter what they did in the future. Why would she have to squeeze into the independent bridge of taking the civil servant exam?

As for if the child really needs to be blamed, it only means that she has not educated him well and cannot blame others.

Brother Xie smiled bitterly: "What do you want in exchange for agreeing?"

For the sake of his own future, he didn't mind paying a price. After all, most of these things would be used on his niece, so it was considered a good thing.

Ye Zhiqiu wanted to shake his head and refuse, but something occurred to him: "I want to know if it was really Auntie's idea to kill me? Or did she kill someone based on someone else's advice?"

Brother Xie was stunned for a moment. He had never thought that there was such a secret. But Ye Zhiqiu would not say this for no reason. Could it be that Xie Yuan was behind this?

Brother Xie could only think of Xie Yuan. He didn't dare to guess that it was Xie's father who was behind it.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't care who he suspected, she just threw a seed, and it was up to fate what kind of flower it would bloom. It's not like Xie Yuan didn't speak up, if he was really wronged, he could still not defend himself.

Brother Xie left with a lot of reluctance. Ye Zhiqiu refused to agree, but he had no objection. After leaving, he was eager to see Xie's mother, wanting to find out the truth from her.

Mother Xie shook her head: "No one asked me to kill anyone, I just couldn't bear it. The Ye family was too bullying, and your brother was forced to go abroad by them. It's so pitiful."

Brother Xie was speechless. In his mind, two years of aid abroad was not that hard, not to mention that this experience would be good for future promotions. Ambitious people should rush to go, why would they need to be forced?

Xie Yuan must have been spoiled, which is why he played a good hand of cards so badly.

"Xie Yuanzhen didn't say anything?"

Xie's mother was displeased: "How can you think of your brother like this? What can he say?"

Brother Xie didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions. He knew he couldn't get any results, so he might as well go home and ask. Father Xie was shocked, thinking that Mother Xie had said something that made Brother Xie suspect him.

He was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could someone instigate your mother to kill someone? Even if someone did say something, does she have no brains and believe everything others say? She is not a three-year-old child who doesn't know that killing is illegal."

Brother Xie also knows this truth, but people are like this. When the people closest to them make mistakes, they always want to find reasons to forgive them.
