Chapter 292 Oh, what a distinguished guest! Please come in!
"And then what? Was he executed?"
"Hey, the guy's paralyzed, why waste bullets? His whole family was driven to the countryside to fend for themselves! Girl, what's your relationship with Dou Yifan?"
Meng Peiyu glared at him fiercely: "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, or you'll get yourself into trouble. Where is he from?"
Old Man Huo trembled slightly: "I heard it's..."
With a heavy heart, Meng Peiyu boarded a bus and arrived in the suburbs, where she took an oxcart.
After several twists and turns, they finally found the Dou family's house just before dark, and could hear the arguing even through the courtyard wall.
"What are you lying there for, pretending to be dead? If you're so capable of going crazy, then go die! You've made so much dirty money, but your family hasn't benefited at all. You've been brought back naked, aren't you ashamed?"
“Sister-in-law, I know Yifan has wronged you, but he still has the surname Dou. How could you treat him like this? Back then, he did think about bringing Dajun and Xiaoliang into the Ge Committee!”
"Did he bring it? Did he bring it? All he talks is talk, he doesn't even know how to prepare a way out. Now his house is like a rat in the street, they won't even let him pick wild vegetables."
"Wait a couple of days until we run out of food, then let's see how long you two can survive!"
Meng Peiyu put on a mask to cover her face. She took a pound of eggs and a pound of meat from her spatial storage and knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
Meng Peiyu remained silent until Yao Huanzhu grew impatient, came to open the door, and shoved the eggs and meat directly in front of her.
"Oh, what a distinguished guest! Please come in!"
Meng Peiyu cut to the chase: "I want to speak with Dou Yifan alone!"
Yao Huanzhu looked her up and down with a suggestive gaze, then smiled and said, "Of course! Um, I'll go inside and tidy up a bit, you wait here!"
Yao Huanzhu took the things, put them in the kitchen and locked them. With a cold face, she told Liu Caibai to change Dou Yifan's pants: "Your Yifan is quite capable, isn't he? Even in this state, someone still comes to visit. I wonder where this lover came from!"
Liu Caibai felt uneasy: "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense!"
"Whether you're lying or not, you know it in your heart! Hmph, hurry up and get to the point, or you'll regret it!"
Liu Caibai forced back her tears. How could she not know that Dou Yifan had been keeping a mistress all these years? But so what? Did she have a choice?
Now that Dou Yifan is in trouble, his mistresses are all running away as fast as they can, afraid of being implicated.
She was the legally married first wife, and couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Liu Caibai took a deep breath, suppressing his nausea, pulled down Dou Yifan's pants, which were stained with feces and urine, wiped them casually, found a pair full of patches for him to wear, draped a blanket over him, and came out.
Looking at Meng Peiyu in the courtyard, he felt complicated: "You're the first woman to come and see Yifan!"
Meng Peiyu looked puzzled.
"We've spent some time together, so you've shown some consideration. Let's go in!"
Meng Peiyu hummed in agreement and stepped inside. But as soon as she reached the door, she was assaulted by a pungent odor from inside.
He took two steps back, adjusted his mask to cover his mouth and nose as much as possible, and said, "Go in and open the window."
Liu Caibai had just unzipped his pants when he heard those words, and his heart ached with bitterness.
Back in the day, when Yi Fan held immense power, who would dare to treat her so rudely? They would even order her around, and it would be considered lenient if they didn't make her carry their shoes.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go!" Yao Huanzhu kicked Liu Caibai, who quickly put down the dark pants in his hand, went inside, and opened the window.
She glanced at the yellowish-green quilt on the kang (a heated brick bed), then quickly pulled it off and threw it out the window: "You don't want your little lover to see you in this disheveled state, do you? Bear with it, I'll put it back on for you in a bit."
Dou Yifan's lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.
Five minutes later, Meng Peiyu entered the room and glanced around: "Director Dou, you've suffered!"
Dou Yifan excitedly raised his hand, but his fingers trembled so much that he couldn't even lift the blanket.
Meng Peiyu walked up to him and looked at him with disdain: "Really paralyzed?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in Dou Yifan's eyes, as if he were saying, "Please save me!"
Meng Peiyu pressed her palm against his forehead, and after a moment clicked her tongue: "What a pity, it's actually true. You, why didn't you enjoy your wealth and luxury? What were you thinking? Now you're getting your comeuppance!"
Dou Yifan shed two lines of tears, as if in regret.
"I've come here to ask you where you hid the treasures you stole?"
Dou Yifan shook his head.
"Are you unwilling to tell me, or are you unable to tell me? It's okay, I'll find out!"
Meng Peiyu pressed down hard on Dou Yifan's head, as if she wanted to crush his skull.
Ten minutes later, she let go, chuckled, and left the village. She took out her bicycle from a secluded spot and headed towards the treasure trove she had discovered.
Unfortunately, Meng Peiyu was destined to be disappointed.

In the Kyoto Military Region compound, Xie Susu returned home in a huff and complained to Aunt Zhou about Meng Peiyu.
"What kind of person is she? She has a good life but is always eyeing other people's affairs. Manman has nothing to do with her, yet she still comes over to try and sow discord between me. Does she think I, Xie Susu, am blind and deaf?"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. She's probably having a tough time herself, so she wants to make Manman unhappy. People just like to focus on what they don't have, right?"
Aunt Zhou poured Xie Susu a cup of tea: "Meng Peiyu said Manman isn't in the family compound. Could it be that the young couple really had a fight?"
"No, judging from Xiao Yuan's way of treating people like the apple of his eye, there must be something going on."
Xie Susu got up and called Lu Yuan's unit. She learned that Lu Yuan had gone out on a mission and Qiao Manman had returned to her hometown.
"She's really not in the Northeast?" Xie Susu asked anxiously, "When did she leave?"
"Has it been several days since Sister Lu returned to Kyoto?"
"They might have gone back to Yang County!" Xie Susu hung up the phone, her heart pounding.
He took a few deep breaths and called Yangxian Machinery Factory: "Hello!"
"Has Director Miao finished get off work? I'm Xie Susu from Kyoto Machinery Factory, I need to speak with him!"
"Director Miao is eating in the canteen. I'll go call him. Could you please call me back in ten minutes?"
"Yes, thank you, comrade!"
Ten minutes later, Miao Shoujun answered the phone. Xie Susu first exchanged a few pleasantries about work, and then they talked about Qiao Runming and He Nianlai.
"How are my in-laws? I'm so busy with work that I really can't find the time to visit them. He Nian must be about to give birth, right? Could you please ask Director Miao if they need anything so I can buy it at the department store and send it back to them?"
"No need, no need, Manman has prepared everything. Runming even picked up a big package from the post office a couple of days ago."
"Manman is so thoughtful. I wonder if she'll be able to make it back when He Nian goes into labor!"
Miao Shoujun didn't think much of it and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'll keep an eye on things here."
Comrade He was in her late pregnancy, and Runming was worried about leaving her alone at home. So, he would put her in the conference room when he was at work, where people would come and go, so he could keep an eye on her.
"I'll see if I should give Runming a day off at the end of the month so he can focus on being with her during her pregnancy!"
"Thank you very much, Director Miao!" Xie Susu hung up the phone, her heart heavy.
It seems the daughter-in-law didn't go back to her parents' home.
