Chapter 435 Fang Guangmei Seeks Help from Her Family
Although Fang Guangmei could tell from her father-in-law and husband's expressions that her brother-in-law had caused quite a bit of trouble, she wasn't too concerned about it.
Over the years, my brother-in-law has never been easy to deal with. Relying on the old lady's pampering, he's been a troublemaker and good-for-nothing.
The job his family found for him was one he only did sporadically, never taking it seriously.
But there was nothing she could do; her mother-in-law spoiled her, and no one could say anything about it.
It's only in recent years that things have gradually calmed down.
I don't know what trouble she's gotten herself into this time, but seeing her usually expressionless father-in-law showing a rare look of anger, I know something is definitely wrong.
But she didn't care; as long as her little family didn't have any problems, that was all that mattered.
Moreover, because she had taken her mother-in-law to Nanjiang County some time ago, it had at least relieved her mother-in-law's headache.
But her mother-in-law didn't remember her good deeds and even spoke ill of her in front of her sister-in-law, which made her furious.
The conflict between her and her husband this time was also caused by her mother-in-law stirring up trouble.
Otherwise, their relationship wouldn't have remained strained for so long.
Such a big thing happened in her husband's family, and she didn't even plan to tell her own family.
Unfortunately, as the daughter-in-law of the Deng family, she couldn't simply choose not to get involved.
That very evening, her mother-in-law gave her a heads-up.
They told her to go back to her parents' home the next day and ask her father and brothers for help in getting her brother-in-law released from the police station.
Seeing how haggard her mother-in-law looked after just one night because of her son, she felt a pang of sympathy.
Although she was unwilling, she still had to go to her parents' home, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get past her mother-in-law.
When Fang Guangmei returned to the Fang family home, she found that there were quite a few people sitting in the living room, including her father and her eldest brother.
Upon seeing this, she was overjoyed.
She had to ask her mother-in-law for help. If she went back and her mother-in-law asked her about it, and she hadn't even met her father, she wouldn't be able to handle the situation.
The atmosphere in the Fang family's living room was quite somber at this moment.
The Fang family probably knew why Fang Guangmei had come back, so they didn't say much when they saw her return.
But Fang Guangmei didn't stand on ceremony; as soon as she got back, she went straight to the point with her father:
"Dad, what exactly happened to my brother-in-law? My mother-in-law asked me to come back and ask if we could help get him out of the police station."
After saying that, she plopped down in the seat next to her mother.
At the same time, he took a banana from the fruit on the table and started eating it.
Her mother-in-law was pressuring her so much that she was kicked out of the house before she could even have dinner after get off work.
Seeing her father at home, knowing he was busy, she still had to say what needed to be said, otherwise he might leave again at any time.
Who knows when we'll meet again?
After asking her father, she asked her mother to make her a bowl of egg noodles. She hadn't eaten anything since getting off work and was starving.
The other members of the Fang family had probably discussed her in-laws' affairs before she arrived, so their demands of her were not unexpected.
After she finished speaking, she thought someone would say something.
But even after she finished eating the banana she was holding, the living room remained quiet, and no one said anything for a long time.
She paused, then realized something was wrong. There had to be some kind of answer, right? What was the point of all this dawdling?
She quickly put the banana peel in the trash can before turning around to look at her father and older brother.
In her mind, the words of these two people naturally carried the most weight.
She looked at her father and saw that his brows were furrowed and his head was slightly lowered, as if he was thinking about something.
Upon seeing this, Fang Guangmei felt a pang of unease, realizing that things might not be as she thought.
She has been married into the Deng family for many years. As in-laws, they usually lend a helping hand whenever needed.
After all, every family has its difficult times.
But seeing her father's expression, she realized something was wrong.
However, she wasn't flustered, after all, the one who got into trouble was her brother-in-law, who was a generation younger than her, not her husband.
"Dad, brother, what's wrong? What did my brother-in-law do wrong? Why do you both look so serious?"
Mr. Fang frowned as he looked at his daughter, who clearly didn't know what had happened.
This time, such a big thing happened to our in-laws. I heard that it has led to the discovery of a staggering number of treasures that were lost from the Zijin Museum in previous years.
There are a great many people involved, and now that young man from the Deng family is a key figure among them.
There's no other reason than that the police haven't caught anyone else yet, but the youngest son of the Deng family is a sure thing.
Based on his many years of experience, this father-in-law is in serious trouble.
But as a younger generation, my daughter doesn't understand these things.
The Deng family didn't tell her, and the situation is still unclear; a simple reminder to their daughter would suffice.
After figuring it out, he didn't delay and offered a reminder:
“This matter is of great importance. Many people at higher levels are paying attention to it. My family cannot get too involved at the moment, and I heard that the Public Security Bureau is not allowing Deng Wenwei to be released on bail.”
Hearing their father say this, Fang Guangming, the eldest son who had been sitting to the side, worried that his younger sister might act recklessly and get implicated, so he quickly spoke up to dissuade her:
"Yes, little sister, you can't go wrong by listening to Dad."
Your brother-in-law has gotten into serious trouble this time. We don't even know what's going on yet, so we can't rush to get him out of there. We have to wait until things stabilize before we do anything else.”
He said this mostly to comfort his sister.
Before his sister arrived, he had discussed this matter with his father, so he knew how much trouble that Deng family brat had caused this time.
Even if the Deng family contacted all their in-laws and worked together to handle this matter, they might not be able to succeed.
Moreover, the current situation remains unclear.
Moreover, this isn't a matter for the brother-in-law; even if it were the brother-in-law himself, they would need to carefully consider whether he could help.
For now, we can only try to keep my sister calm; as for the rest, we'll see.
When Fang Guangmei saw that her father and elder brother both said this, she knew that things were hopeless.
Seeing that neither of them explained their meaning to her, she nodded, paused, and ultimately said nothing more.
She knew that there must be a reason why her father and brothers hadn't mentioned it.
They are all my family, and when it's time for me to know, I won't hide it from them.
After thinking it through, she felt that her father's words would satisfy her mother-in-law, so she looked at her mother and said in a slightly coquettish tone:
"Mom, I'm starving! Can you make me a bowl of noodles?"
Seeing that her daughter was not affected by her in-laws' affairs and was still thinking about food and drink, Li Wenjing breathed a sigh of relief.
