Chapter 183

This incident happened years ago, which was why [Wang's Mother] was anxious to have [Wang Caixiang] take some money from the An family to cover it up. She was afraid that her other sons would find out about this matter. It would definitely cause trouble if that happened.

What happened to the second son being caught by someone was very similar to [An Zhiren]'s situation of being caught at home that day. This made them have no choice but to suspect that it was [An Zhiren]'s revenge.

Of course, since [An Zhiren] dared to do this, he naturally had made preparations and was not afraid that they would know it was him.

In fact, he was even worried that they would not know. Otherwise, this revenge would be meaningless.

He still had a series of plans waiting for them afterwards. The reason why he had endured and not made any moves these past few days was also out of consideration that his younger sister had come back to spend a rare New Year holiday. He did not want the family to look too unsightly during these days.

On the day when [Pei Jing] and Zhi Xia left, [An Zhiren] had someone notify [Wang Second Brother] about the matter of his money being used up. [Wang]'s family became very lively that day. Although [An Zhiren] did not witness it with his own eyes, he still heard a lot from others.

It was said that after [Wang Second Brother] broke his leg, his other brothers dragged him out and beat him violently again. Even now, he was still expelled from home and had no place to stay.

After that, the youngest son of the Wang family became addicted to gambling. The eldest son stole goods from the factory where he worked by being instigated by someone else. [Wang's Father] became ill from anger that day.

By coincidence, the doctor who treated [Wang's Father] was precisely [An ZhiXian].

Ever since his younger sister had given him that medical book, [An ZhiXian] had been particularly interested in acupuncture and medicine preparation. Having someone deliver it to his door to practice on was precisely what he had been wishing for.

Of course, [An ZhiXian] was not stupid enough to get himself involved due to taking revenge for his Second Brother. That would make people suspicious. So it was on the fourth day after his acupuncture treatment that [Wang's Father] was paralyzed in bed and completely became a waste person.

Because of this, the two brothers even had a fight.

[An Zhiren] personally handled the Wang family’s retaliation. It was precisely because the methods used were not honorable, so he did not want his family members to get involved.

Just like the Old Master was worried that he would sink into hatred during his revenge process, [An Zhiren] also felt that doing bad things could become addictive.

Especially with [An ZhiXian’s] identity as a doctor, his medical skills should be used to treat illnesses and save people, and should not become tainted because his older brother did something foolish. However, it was also because of this fight that the relationship between the two brothers became closer afterwards.

[An Zhiren] disagreed with [An ZhiXian’s] approach for his younger brother’s own good. It was fine if just he himself became tainted from dealing with the Wang family alone, the other person should not get involved.

[An ZhiXian] also promised that he would not intervene anymore in subsequent matters.

In fact, if it were not for [Wang's Father] happening to fall into his hands, he would not have intended to do anything either.

Although he was not allowed to participate in Second Brother’s plan, he knew the whole process. He also understood that dealing with the Wang family was not difficult at all.

In just one month, members of the Wang family were either disabled or diminished. The only ones not affected were several of [Wang Caixiang]’s nephews and nieces.

They were still children. On the day [An Zhiren] was harmed, they were not there either.

Of course, with the Wang family adults barely able to fend for themselves, the days ahead for these children would probably not be easy either.

[An Zhiren] smiled bitterly. Unfortunately, he no longer had any spare sympathy to give them now.

For the rest of his life, he probably would never radiate that kind of excessive sympathy from his heart again. Just one [Wang Caixiang] had thoroughly destroyed the kindness in his heart.

At the same time, arrangements had been made at [Old Madam’s] side. [Wang Caixiang] had stolen valuables from the family many times to subsidize her maternal home. The An family could no longer tolerate this and could only file for divorce.

No one would doubt this reason. After all, she did often take things from the family back to the Wang family. Although it was [Old Madam] deliberately allowing it to happen every time.

However, [An Zhiren] still could not get a divorce because [Wang Caixiang] absolutely refused and even went to jump into the river and kill herself, causing a huge fuss.

The neighborhood committee also came to persuade them many times, specifically instructing them that they must not cause any loss of life. So the matter could only be left unsettled.

Although she was branded as a thief, [Wang Caixiang] was now the daughter-in-law of the An family. The things she stole were the family’s own property, so it could only be regarded as the An family’s domestic affair.

[An Zhiren] had originally thought he would be more generous and divorce to let go of one another. But since she absolutely refused, he could not be blamed for going too far. With [An JingZhi] present, plus [An Zhiren]’s seniority and excellent conduct at school, he soon used his own house to completely move out of the An family residence....

After staying in Jincheng for just a few days, when she returned to the army, Zhi Xia felt a significant change in the weather. It was so cold that she couldn’t even stick her head out.

Afraid that her two children would catch a cold, she had wrapped them into balls on the train.

When they returned home, [Pei Jing] opened the door. The familiar feeling rushed up and they finally returned to their own home.

[Pei Jing] cleaned up the baby stroller and let Zhi Xia put the sleeping children in it together. “You go open up the bed. I’ll go to the kitchen to get some water.”

Afraid of freezing from lack of heating, they had emptied the large water tank before leaving. Zhi Xia responded and the couple began tidying up the house separately.

Having lived here for quite some time, many items had been added to the house. The cabinets were even stuffed full with the children’s belongings. When they left, they had folded the quilts neatly and stacked them on the bed, using only one quilt to wrap them up tightly.

Zhi Xia unfolded the quilt, revealing the neatly folded quilts inside. She reached out to spread it open.

"Ah..."

A sharp shriek came from the room and [Pei Jing] hurriedly quickened his pace to run inside. "What's wrong?"

By now, Zhi Xia had already let out a sigh of relief. Still frightened, she pointed at the quilt, "There are mice."

When she pulled open the quilt just now, a big mouse rushed out from inside, even touching her hand.

Her scalp tingled at that time, and she was scared to death.

Only then did [Pei Jing] notice that the quilt on the bed had been pulled open, revealing a nest of newborn baby mice inside without any fur. They were clearly just born.

The quilt had been gnawed ragged with cotton poking out everywhere, giving off a rancid smell. There were also scattered mouse droppings.

[Pei Jing] half embraced Zhi Xia in his arms to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's just a few baby mice. You go out first to check on the kids. I'll tidy up inside the room. I'm afraid this quilt can't be used anymore."

"Then just throw it away. It's all mouse piss and shit. Don't know if the cabinet has been damaged either." Zhi Xia did not stand on ceremony with him and hurried out to wash her hands.

It really was a huge mouse. Its tail was so long and straight without any fur. Just thinking about it still gave her the creeps.

Anyway, there were no outsiders at home, so Zhi Xia simply moved both children into the space.

In her previous life, there had been many cases of mice eating children. Although she had never personally witnessed it, she had heard much about it in that information-rich era. So safety was the priority now.

She had seen mice before, but this kind of disgusting scene was definitely the first time she had experienced it since being reborn.

[Pei Jing] took out several newborn mice, and the bolder child came over wanting to play with them.

The unwanted quilt was collected by Zhi Xia into the space. It only needed star coins to be disposed of as garbage. She was not lacking star coins now and was no longer as frugal as when she first started out.

It was a pity that the big mouse was not caught. Zhi Xia was still a little afraid that it would come back, so she placed mousetraps under the bed and on top of the cabinets.

These were high-tech mousetraps. There were sounds inside to attract mice and it guaranteed 100% trapping success rate.

Fortunately, although there were bite marks on the wooden boards of the cabinets, the boards had not been chewed through yet. The items inside were also undamaged without any traces of destruction.
