Chapter 394

Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan showed absolutely no leniency, and it's unclear whether they will pressure the police to sentence her more severely.

Heartless bastards! They're all a bunch of heartless scoundrels!

She's been treated like a daughter by the Xie family for so many years, and she hasn't even said anything yet, but they're already complaining about her. Why should they?

But the ones we hate the most are Song Yongfu and He Caixia.

Why did those two heartless and ruthless bastards insist on telling her that she wasn't a daughter of the Xie family?

If she hadn't been told, she wouldn't have had to bear so much responsibility.

Now, things have gotten even worse. Shu Ying even knows when she found out the truth, and now she wants to demand compensation for her losses.

When the police investigate, it's hard to say how they'll convict her.

Who knew that failing to report a known fact was also illegal!

How disgusting! This rule is disgusting, everyone is disgusting!

After secretly cursing for a long time, Xie Wanying's anger finally subsided somewhat.

She looked at the scenery rushing past the window and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

I don't know if this was the last time she would look at the sky and the scenery outside.

Thinking about it this way, I suddenly feel like even the air I breathe is different now.

She's breathing the air of freedom now, but who knows, it might not be long before she's breathing the air of prison alongside those vicious criminals.

I wonder how many years I'll be locked up in prison...

"Police officer."

Xie Wanying spoke somewhat nervously.

"Given my current situation, if I am investigated thoroughly and convicted, what would the sentence be?"

Wang Cheng glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

"If all your current charges are proven true, you will serve at least three years in prison and will have to return all the money and valuables the Xie family has given you over the years."

Xie Wanying slowly widened her eyes, thinking she had misheard.

"What did you say? You want to return everything the Xie family has given me over the years? Isn't it starting with everything I took from the Xie family before and after that?"

She originally thought that if it was something she had taken from the Xie family since the day she found out she wasn't a Xie family daughter, it would be better to return it.

But if we start from the time she was raised by the Xie family...

Xie Wanying felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her.

The mountain is named "Debt".

Wang Cheng gave a blank "hmm," confirming Xie Wanying's thoughts.

"Three years in prison, and so much money and stuff..."

When will she be able to pay it back?

Does that mean that after I get out of prison, I'll have to find a way to work and earn money to pay them back?

In other words, after her release from prison, she not only had nothing, but also had to carry a mountain of debt.

Does that mean she'll only be able to eat coarse food for the rest of her life?

What about all that she did in the first half of her life? Was it all for nothing?!

The thought of the days to come can only be described in two words—miserable.

Xie Wanying's lips trembled a few times, she couldn't catch her breath, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted on the spot.

Xie Wanying was taken away, and Wang Yayun and Fang Deshan were also sent back home in a sorry state. The matter at the military compound was finally over.

After a lively morning, things finally returned to calm.

This result was truly gratifying. Although the matter was resolved, the neighbors were still talking about it with great relish.

While discussing what to say at the market later, Wang's wife and the others couldn't help but admire the Xie family members who were sitting by the door chatting with them.

"Teacher Huang, Professor Xie, seeing your family so united in fighting that bad guy is really exciting to watch!"

"Yes, I've known for a while that Xie Wanying is not quite right. Her temperament and personality are not like the kind of child your family could raise. I didn't expect that she really isn't."

"We owe it all to Yingying this time. She spotted the blood pack on that woman's leg with her sharp eyes, otherwise Xie Wanying would still be acting!"

"And we are genuinely happy for Mingzhu. When Mingzhu first came to our military compound, we all thought she was a very down-to-earth person."

"Whenever any of us has a problem, Mingzhu always comes to help without hesitation. She never asks for anything in return. She is warm-hearted, considerate, and very serious about her work. In particular, her excellent cooking skills have benefited many of our families."

“This child is really good, and we sincerely hope she can get better.”

While praising Xie Mingzhu, the neighbors couldn't help but recount all the disgusting things Xie Wanying had done over the years, finding it increasingly satisfying as they talked.

Hearing everyone speak so highly of them and their daughter, and having such a positive opinion of their family, Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling felt deeply moved and warmed.

Thinking about how kind our neighbors are, and how they took up so much of everyone's time today, I feel even more apologetic.

"Regardless, we still want to apologize here. We are really sorry to everyone. Today, our family matter has caused such a big commotion and affected everyone's normal life."

The neighbor ladies all waved with smiles, their words filled with warmth and friendliness.

"Oh dear, Teacher Huang, please don't say that. We've been neighbors for so many years, everyone knows you. Your family has the best personality, there's no neighbor who's easier to get along with than your family."

“You guys have really run into trouble today, everyone can understand, it’s nothing.”

"Yes, if you ask me, this kind of thing should be made a big deal out of it, so that everyone will help you out."

“Otherwise, if you shut your doors and make noise at home, we won’t be able to help you at all.”

"Besides, we're neighbors, so if we visit each other more often and let us help each other out, we'll feel more comfortable asking Mingzhu for crochet and tailoring tips in the future."

Xie Mingzhu, who was listening from the side, was also quite moved. She knew that everyone was saying this on purpose to ease her psychological burden, and she kept thanking them.

"Thank you so much everyone this time. If you need any help in the future, or if you want to learn crochet or sewing skills from me, please feel free to come to my house. I will definitely help you if I can!"

"Okay!"

"Don't worry, Mingzhu, we won't stand on ceremony with you. And if you need anything, you can't stand on ceremony with us either!"

The group chatted for a few more minutes, smiling and talking in a friendly manner, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Xie Mingzhu chatted with the group for a few minutes, feeling deeply moved.

In truth, she knew that the reason she was able to get along so well with the people in the military compound and integrate into the community so quickly was all thanks to Shu Ying.

She has always kept these things in mind.

This sister-in-law was truly a benefactor she could only dream of, the one who made her life turn around and allow her to return home.

She and Shu Ying are said to be relatives, but they are actually more like friends.

Shu Ying took great care of her.
