“Mom, Dad, I know,” Pan Ming said.
That night, Pan Ming told his parents about the incident on the hill behind Xiaowang Village to prevent the Liu family from causing trouble.
Pan Changsheng was shocked to hear about the incident. “Is this true?”
“Yes,” Pan Ming replied and left the evidence with his father.
“Keep this, Dad. If the Liu family comes looking for trouble, you can use this as evidence. They won’t dare to do anything, but don’t use it right away,” Pan Ming advised. After spending so much time in the outside world, he knew what to do.
Pan Shuisheng nodded. “Don’t worry, I know what you’re talking about.”
How could he not know what his son meant? If Liu didn’t go back home, their family would have gain some benefits in the future. But when she is sent back, they wouldn’t gain any benefits. And knowing the nature of the Liu family, they wouldn’t just let it go.
“Be careful when you go to the county. They might cause trouble,” Pan Ming warned. Someone like Liu wouldn’t just let things go.
“Rest assured, I know,” Pan Changsheng replied.
The next morning, the three brothers returned to Xie Village and left with QiShu. Before leaving, they informed Lin Zixun about the situation at home to prevent Liu from causing trouble. Lin Zixun frowned at the thought of his elder sister-in-law.
“You go about your business. You have me here, so don’t worry too much,” Lin Zixun had already started to calculate in his mind.
The Liu family was indeed a peculiar one, with everything revolving around Liu Bao. Liu’s return home would definitely be unbearable. After all, she had lived so well in the Pan family for the past three years that she had forgotten what life was like in the Liu family.
“Okay.”
After Pan Ming and his brothers left, Lin Zixun went to inform Wang Jinhe about the situation.
“Madam, I just wanted to let you know that my sister-in-law might come here to find my brother after what happened. I will handle the matter,” he said, just to prevent any trouble without her knowledge.
Wang Jinhe acknowledged, “I understand.”
“I’m sorry for causing you trouble,” Lin Zixun said apologetically.
“No need to apologize. Every family has its own difficulties. It’s not your fault,” Wang Jinhe replied. When Pan Ming and his brothers started working for her, they were diligent in their studies and meticulous in their work. One of them even knew how to manage accounts, which had reduced unnecessary trouble for her after the new store opened.
She had heard from Qishu that Pan Ming and his brothers were all very capable and reliable. Such talents might bring her some trouble, but she didn’t mind. It was nothing she couldn’t handle.
Initially, Wang Jinhe thought that they wouldn’t come so soon, but to her surprise, they arrived in just three days.
The visitor was Liu. Upon hearing the news, Lin Zixun went out and was taken aback by her appearance.
Liu’s face was bruised and swollen, looking extremely disheveled.
Seeing Liu in such a state, Lin Zixun felt that she deserved it.
If it weren’t for Liu’s own lack of understanding, there would be no need for her to be treated in such a way.
Upon seeing Lin Zixun, Liu hurried over. “I want to see Pan Ming.”
“My brother isn’t here. You’re too late, and besides, he has already divorced you, so coming to find him is pointless,” Lin Zixun said coldly.
Embarrassed to hear that she had been divorced, Liu’s face turned red. “You…”
“Where is Pan Ming? I want to see him,” she said. She couldn’t bear to stay in that household for another day.
“I don’t know,” Lin Zixun replied.
Frustrated by Lin Zixun’s response, Liu said, “This is a matter between my husband and me. It’s none of your business.”
“If you hadn’t meddled, would I be in this situation?” In Liu’s mind, if Lin Zixun hadn’t brought Pan Ming and his brothers to work for the County Princess, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
Lin Zixun looked at Liu as if she were a fool. Did she really think that she could live a good life if he hadn’t allowed his brother to come here? With the Liu family’s insatiable greed, Liu being divorced was only a matter of time.
The arrival of my brother here was just a spark.
When Pan Ming was around, Liu was willing to put on a show, but once he was gone, she didn’t even want to pretend. And she had the nerve to blame it on him?
It’s really ridiculous.
“Liu, it’s your own greed. You only thought about the Liu family getting all the money my brother earned. You never considered how my brother would live without money. Do you not feel ashamed to say such things now?” Lin Zixun sarcastically remarked. Did Liu think he didn’t know anything?
“You were so generous with the money. I thought the people in the Liu family treated you well. But now, after such a short time, you come running to my brother, still the same. What do you think my brother is?” Lin Zixun continued.
“If you can’t stand living in the Liu family, don’t even think about coming to find my brother. I’m telling you, your wishful thinking won’t work.” Even their grandmother treated this woman fairly well. My brother earned money and gave most of it to her family. She could buy whatever she wanted. But how did she treat my brother?
Liu looked pale as she listened to Lin Zixun. After returning to the Liu family, she realized how good life had been in the Pan family. Upon returning to the Liu family and being divorced by Pan Ming, her parents, who had been somewhat kind to her, began to mistreat her. Her brother, whom she had always supported, stood by and watched, even adding fuel to the fire.
She couldn’t bear to live like this for another day, so she thought of Pan Ming. He loved her so much. She believed that if she went to him and apologized, he would forgive her. Now that Pan Ming had a bright future ahead, once he returned, her parents would have to come begging to her.
The thought of her parents bowing to her, begging her to help and asking her to return, filled her with a sense of power.
To make them beg, she had to get back together with Pan Ming. No one could stop her.
Facing Lin Zixun, Liu spoke up, “Bring Pan Ming out. I’ll wait here until he comes out.”
“I…”
Before Lin Zixun could say anything, Wang Jinhe and Yuan Xu came out of the house, engaged in a conversation as they walked. They seemed to be discussing something important.
Wang Jinhe noticed Lin Zixun talking to a woman covered in bruises and looking agitated.
“Lin Zixun, who is she? Is she here to see you?” Wang Jinhe inquired.
“Madam, she’s here to see my brother. I told her that my brother isn’t here, but she doesn’t believe me,” Lin Zixun explained. It seemed that no one believed the truth these days.
Observing the disheveled woman, Wang Jinhe asked in surprise, “What happened to her?”
“After being divorced by my brother, she went back to her parents’ home. It seems she was beaten there. Unable to bear the situation at her parents’ home, she came to find my brother,” Lin Zixun explained, feeling angry at the thought of Liu giving all of his brother’s money to the Liu family.
