Chapter 123: Chapter 123 The Exposure of the Crime

Chapter 123 -123 The Exposure of the Crime

The elderly couple knew their granddaughter was coming back and were ecstatic, unable to express how adorable their granddaughters were.

Mrs. Lu went to the market early in the morning to buy vegetables and meat, preparing to cook several dishes to nurture her granddaughter’s health.

Brother Lu’s family didn’t cook, and they usually ate in the canteen. Canteen food definitely couldn’t compare to homemade meals.

Susu watched Mrs. Lu bustling in and out, teasing her, “Mom, I’m starting to get jealous.”

“Hahaha, no worries, I also bought your favorite ribs. We’ll stew them at noon.”

“Hehe, thank you, Mom.”

“This silly child, there’s nothing to thank me for.”

Mrs. Lu glanced at the time, took off her apron, “Susu, you stay home and watch the kids, Mom will go pick up Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue from the station.”

“Okay, go on, Mom. Don’t let the kids wait too long.”

County Bus Station

Mrs. Lu looked eagerly as buses pulled in.

“Wuu wuu~ Grandma~”

The sisters, with tears filled eyes, rushed into their grandma’s arms.

“What’s the matter, why are you crying?” Mrs. Lu was worried as she looked up at the young man who had brought the two children.

“It was a hassle for you to make a special trip to bring my grandchildren. I…”

“Auntie, I am Lu Huaize’s colleague. Because Jiang Nan and Jiang Dong were involved in selling factory scrap, Huaize is handling the factory investigation. I was entrusted to bring the kids back.”

Mrs. Lu felt a darkness before her eyes and a ringing in her ears. She took a deep breath to calm herself, her lips dry and cracked.

“Does this have a big impact on my son?”

“That… It’s hard to say. Don’t worry too much; the factory will make a clear investigation and won’t wrongly accuse anyone.”

…

Mrs. Lu’s face was pale, feeling weak in her legs and hands, but seeing her granddaughters with swollen eyes like walnuts, she forced herself not to fall.

“Xiao Yu, Xiao Xue, don’t be afraid. Grandpa and Grandma are here.”

It took them twice as long as usual to get home.

“Mom, why did you get back so—”

Susu stopped mid-sentence, sensing something was wrong. Seeing the sisters with pale faces and swollen, reddened eyes, she instinctively guessed something had happened to Brother Lu’s family.

She stood up to help her mother-in-law into the house, “Mom, don’t worry, lie down and rest.”

“Xiao Yu, take your sisters to play.”

After Susu called out, she gently coaxed the sisters, “Would you help your elder sister-in-law by watching over your brother and sister? Your elder sister-in-law and grandma have things to do.”

“Yes.”

…

Susu glanced outside, lowering her voice, “Mom, did something happen to Brother’s family?”

Mrs. Lu’s tears fell continuously, she covered her chest and cursed fiercely, “Brother really married a troublemaker! The Jiang siblings were selling the factory’s waste steel and got caught, causing Brother to be investigated.”

“I knew it, why else would they send the kids back? With Jiang Nan’s character, would he let the children come back?”

“The Lu Family is doomed for generations, falling for such a troublemaker. If this ruins Brother’s job, I won’t let her get away with it.”

Susu was stunned; this incident wasn’t mentioned in the original book, where Brother Lu was eventually transferred to the Capital.

With this situation, even if it isn’t directly related to Brother Lu, he’s likely to be implicated.

That’s right, thinking back to her elder sister-in-law’s previous attire, it seemed it had already started then.

Susu frowned, feeling her elder sister-in-law was too foolish to risk everything for such a little money. Now that the truth had come out, her job was likely in jeopardy.

Provincial City, Mechanical Factory

Tears continuously streamed down Jiang Nan’s face, driven by fear. She had thought it was just a matter of buying some waste materials from the factory and hadn’t expected it to blow up into such a big issue.

The day the incident happened and her suspension was announced, so many people had gathered around, and with everyone looking at her with disdain, Jiang Nan wished she could just disappear into a crack in the ground.

Brother Lu had also been suspended because of this incident, waiting for the factory to clear up the matter, and had not slept all night, his eyes red with blood vessels.

He sighed, “How could you be foolish enough to sell the factory’s scrap materials? It belongs to the factory, even if it’s just scrap, it wasn’t your place to take any initiative.”

Jiang Nan continued to sob uncontrollably, her sentences broken by her tears, “I just thought since the factory isn’t using it, selling it could bring some extra income for the family. My younger brother said the same.”

“What should we do now? I’m so scared. I hope this won’t affect your future.”

Brother Lu sighed, “The best thing to do now is to cooperate with the factory’s investigation and tell them everything you know.”

“I’ll definitely cooperate. I just got carried away for a moment. It was my mother and younger brother who kept assuring me nothing would go wrong, and I…”

Upon returning home, Father Lu saw his daughter-in-law watching the triplets. Not seeing his wife, his first thought was that she had gone out to buy groceries.

“Has your mom gone shopping?”

“Dad, mom is lying down in the room. You should go see her.”

“Grandpa.”

“Hey, keep playing with your brothers and sister; Grandpa is going to step inside first.”

Father Lu frowned, sensing something was amiss, and as he entered the room, he saw his wife lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

“What’s wrong, mother? Are you feeling ill?”

“Father.”

As soon as Mrs. Lu spoke, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth, tears streaming down her face.

Father Lu, somewhat panicked, rushed to comfort his wife on the bed, “It’s okay, don’t cry. What happened?”

“Father, do you know why eldest son and his wife sent the twins back? It’s because they’re in trouble and can’t look after the children.

The foolish guy, along with her family, sold the factory’s scrap materials. Not only were they caught red-handed, it’s bound to affect his job.”

Mrs. Lu had cried all day but held back from showing her distress to the granddaughters, even suppressing her voice and gritting her teeth as she spoke.

“Our family has had generations of bad luck, marrying someone with no brains, even daring to covet money.”

Father Lu sighed; though the eldest was a skilled worker at the factory, if he was made an example of, his situation looked grim.

“Don’t worry for now, let’s wait for news from the eldest.”

“Tianyu, Xiao Yu, Xiao Xue, watch your younger siblings; I’ll go cook.”

Susu planned to prepare something simple, washing some cucumbers and lettuce to dip in sauce since the elderly couple likely had little appetite.

Thinking back to the original plot of the book, there was no incident of selling scrap materials. With this complication, Brother Lu’s potential transfer to the Capital because of his skills might be in jeopardy.

If Father Lu and Mrs. Lu found out their son’s future was gone, they would likely be furious.

Provincial City

Having listened to the man’s advice, Jiang Nan and the investigators who came to look into the matter were told everything by her.

“Comrade, I’ve told you everything honestly. Also, this matter has nothing to do with my husband; it won’t affect him, will it?”

“Everything depends on the results of the investigation.”

The factory sent someone to both families to investigate Jiang Dong, only to find that Jiang Dong and his wife had already fled with the money, leaving only the elderly and children, who knew nothing.

Furious, the factory manager decided to make an example of this case to deter others from selling factory property. He immediately reported it to the police.
