The sister-in-law said hurriedly: "Xiaodong came back from the provincial capital. Uncle Mo called me in the morning. Then my mother was not in a good mood, so she took me to Su's house to pick up Xiaofei."

"Xiao Fei's condition doesn't seem to be very good. I don't know what happened and I don't dare to ask."

"My mother even told the Su family about this. It was the first time I saw our mother like this. I was so scared that I didn't dare to say a word!"

"Boss, Xiaodong may have gotten into trouble this time. Mom has already called her into the room alone. If you are okay, come back quickly. I don't dare to go in!"

The eldest brother was shocked when he heard this, "Is this happening?"

The sister-in-law asked seemingly unintentionally, "Well, if Mom doesn't tell me, I don't dare to ask any more questions. Didn't you go to the provincial capital with Xiaodong last night? Don't you know the inside story?"

The eldest brother said vaguely: "Okay, let's talk about it when we get back!"

My sister-in-law warned, "Drive slower on the road!"

The elder brother nodded and hung up the phone in a hurry.

When the phone was hung up, the sister-in-law's palms clenched slightly.

I called Zhao Dong yesterday and got the reply that my eldest brother was in the provincial capital. But if this was really the case, how could Xiao Fei not know about it?

I just tentatively asked my eldest brother, but he was vague and prevaricated.

Based on my sister-in-law’s understanding of my eldest brother, there is something fishy about this matter!

Thinking about the fact that my eldest brother was missing all night last night, my sister-in-law suddenly had a bad feeling!

She didn't know why, but she felt that her elder brother was not telling the truth, and neither was Zhao Dong!

But if the eldest brother didn't go to the provincial capital last night, where were his people?

While she was thinking wildly, the sister-in-law had already walked back to the room, but an unclosed drawer in the room attracted her attention!

When the sister-in-law opened the drawer and took a look, her expression changed immediately. The book where her private money was stored had been tampered with!

The inside of the book was hollow, and the family's bankbooks and bank cards were stuffed inside. My sister-in-law's first reaction was that it had been robbed, but after checking it, she became even more suspicious!

The passbook is there, and the number of bank cards is also there, but the money in the book is missing a few!

This money is usually used to buy groceries and family expenses, about 2,000 yuan a month. If my sister-in-law hadn't remembered the accounts carefully, she wouldn't have noticed it at all!

Could it be that the eldest brother used the money secretly?

But if the eldest brother had money, why didn't he tell himself, and why did he secretly take money from home without telling himself?

Coupled with the details that have been worked out just now, the sister-in-law is more convinced that something is wrong with the elder brother!

Now that the eldest brother is away, Sophie is in trouble, and Zhao's mother calls Zhao Dong into the room alone. The sister-in-law has no idea, she doesn't know who to discuss with, and she is even more confused!

I was planning to find something to occupy my mind, but unexpectedly, I picked up a pile of clothes in the dirty clothes basket and a card suddenly fell out!

The sister-in-law bent down to pick it up. Before her fingers touched the card, her body froze on the spot and her face turned pale instantly!

It was a room card with the hotel's name and room number printed on it!

The sister-in-law looked at the dirty clothes in her hands. One was Xiaoman's school uniform, and the other two were eldest brother's coats!

When I think about the hundreds of dollars missing from the drawer, my sister-in-law's heartbeat seems to have skipped a beat!

At the same time, in a room in the Zhao family where the curtains are always drawn, a black and white portrait hangs on the wall.

After Zhao Ma entered the door, she said without looking back: "Kneel down!"

Zhao Dong did not dare to disobey and knelt respectfully in front of his father's portrait!

Mother Zhao turned around and asked, "Xiao Fei, do you remember what I told you when you first came in?"

Zhao Dong lowered his head and did not defend himself at all, "Mom, I failed to fulfill my responsibility as a husband!"

Zhao's mother sounded disappointed, "When the accident happened yesterday, Xiaofei was afraid that her family would be worried, so she just hid it from me. What about you? You hid it from me too?"

"If your Uncle Mo hadn't called me, I wouldn't have known that such a big thing happened to our Zhao family's daughter-in-law!"

"I was hit by a car and sent to the hospital. I was injured, and I had to run all night for you Zhao Dong. What happened in the end? I woke up in a rehabilitation center!"

"Zhao Dong, you are really capable!"

Zhao Dong felt guilty, "Mom, I'm sorry, it was me who didn't take good care of Xiaofei. It was me..."

Mother Zhao shouted sharply, "Don't call me mom! I'm a peasant woman and I can't give birth to a promising son like you!"

Zhao Dong lowered his head and clenched his fists.

Mother Zhao's mood calmed down a little, and her eyes fell on Zhao Dong. She still couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart, "Zhao Dong, do you think you are particularly manly when you are angry?"

"Do you think that you are uniquely capable of turning the entire provincial capital upside down for Xiao Fei?"

Seeing Zhao Dong feeling guilty, Zhao's mother sighed, "Mom knows, you can't help yourself, you have too much time to take care of yourself!"

"The Su family was also involved in last night's incident. Everyone is pushing you to the edge of the cliff!"

"But Zhao Dong, please listen to me. You are a man. Xiaofei is a girl. If someone is willing to let go of everything and entrust everything to you, you must be worthy of this trust!"

"I don't care if you have a huge reason. If something happened to Xiaofei last night, your husband should be by her side!"

"You are her backbone. If everyone is in chaos, you can't be in chaos! If the sky falls, you have to carry it for her!"

"In order to seek justice, you leave your wife in the hospital and ignore it? In order to seek justice, you have an affair with that woman from the Wei family? In order to seek justice, you can set up a private court and put Xu Huayang in the hospital?"

"Is this what I've been teaching you all these years? If everything can be solved with your fists, why do you need the law? Is it just a decoration?"

"Today in front of your father, tell yourself, have you followed the Zhao family's rules?"

Zhao Dong raised his head and said, "Mom, I didn't take good care of Xiaofei last night. It was my fault. There will be no next time!"

"I know I made a mistake, but I don't admit it. Next time someone dares to take advantage of the Zhao family, no matter who it is, I will only retaliate even more harshly!"

Zhao's mother was touched and her skin turned upside down, "Zhao Dong!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dong took the initiative to untie his shirt without saying a word, revealing his back full of scars!

Mother Zhao grabbed the bamboo ruler and dropped it hard!

In an instant, there was a scarlet bloodstain on the shoulder!

Zhao Dong's body remained motionless, and even his eyes did not change at all!

Outside the room, the sister-in-law heard the sound and rushed over. She didn't dare to go in to dissuade her, nor did she dare to call Sophie. She could only pace anxiously in the room.

Not long after, the elder brother hurried back.

The sister-in-law said nothing else and pointed to the room.

The eldest brother took a deep breath and shouted outside the room, "Mom!"

No one in the room spoke, and what he answered was an even louder sound of a bamboo ruler!

The eldest brother plopped down on his knees outside the door, "Mom, no matter what trouble Xiaodong gets into, I, the eldest brother, am also responsible. You can punish me too!"

Still no one responded in the room.
Chapter completed!
