Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband

"This Qu Liushou is probably just talking nonsense, probably even saying that our Mei Family is involved in this matter somehow, or maybe one particular person."

When Mei Langchi said this, it caused Old Mr. Mei, lying on the bed, to fall into deep thought. Today, the eldest said that the reason Qu Liushou went to that house to steal was all because of Aunt Wu. He suspected that Aunt Wu had stolen the things he had stolen.

Only then did they realize that the house Qu Liushou had stolen from was Aunt Wu’s home.

However, what the grandson said today did make sense. Qu Liushou took the stuff that night, in the dead of night. Even if someone saw him, they wouldn’t have known what he had inside.

Moreover, with so many precious items, how could he be so careless? It doesn’t fit with logic.

Old Mr. Mei thought long and hard about it, feeling that this Qu Liushou was quite cunning, his acting had fooled them all.

Those things are definitely hidden by Qu Liushou somewhere. Even if he got caught, he’d only mention the one item in his hand and nothing else.

The item in the box he was holding had also been swapped in advance. Such a plan was really thorough.

Even if they told him which items were missing, he could still pretend not to know, only admitting to having this box, maybe even denying the rest.

Qu Liushou was lucky that they didn’t specify the missing items, allowing him to exploit a large loophole.

"Xiao Chi, go back and call your dad, tell him to release Qu Liushou," Mei Langchi suddenly said.

This got Old Mrs. Mei worried, "Erqing, what are you going to do? If we let him go, those things of ours will really never be found."

"Grandma, don’t worry," Mei Langchi understood Old Mr. Mei’s intentions. He wanted to release Qu Liushou to lower his guard and wait for him to slip up.

At that time, they would just need to keep an eye on him. As soon as Qu Liushou took out those items, they could retrieve them without anyone knowing.

But grandpa guessed wrong. After Qu Liushou and Ye Qing stole everything, they genuinely lost those paintings and calligraphy. Even if they watched Qu Liushou for a hundred years, they wouldn’t find them again.

Grandpa’s treasures are basically gone.

Old Mrs. Mei was anxious but seeing her husband and grandson acting confidently, she didn’t say more.

However, Xie Lingzhi, seeing her son about to leave, quickly pulled him aside, saying, "Son, if Ye Qing truly has a mental illness, while she still seems somewhat normal, you should divorce her early. Our family cannot have a mentally ill daughter-in-law."

"Mom, I know. I’ll handle this myself." Mei Langchi already had a plan in mind.

He could divorce Ye Qing at any time now, but he had his own thoughts.

Ye Qing had deceived him for so long; he wasn’t going to make it easy for her.

.....

Soon, Qu Liushou was released, and the whole Mei Family knew that Ye Qing had suddenly developed a mental illness.

Han Yi and Lin Wan found out about this on the night of the twenty-eighth of the lunar month.

This made Lin Wan very surprised; she could imagine why the Mei Family released Qu Liushou but couldn’t understand why Ye Qing suddenly developed a mental illness.

"What’s for dinner tonight?" Han Yi asked as he brought Chen Haichang in while Lin Wan was dazed in the kitchen.

"Meatball and vermicelli soup. It’s almost ready." Lin Wan quickly snapped out of it and instructed them, "Get the bowls and chopsticks ready. You can serve it yourselves in a minute."

"Xiao Wan, it’s almost the New Year. How can we have this? Do you have any special dishes?"

"I do, I’ve braised pig trotters. You’ll have your fill tonight," Lin Wan said with a smile, quickly urging Han Yi to take the food to the living room.

Han Yi had been staying home with his wife and children these days, barely stepping outside, and the news about the Mei Family didn’t affect him.

All in all, it was just the Mei Family stirring up trouble, going round and round, and Old Mr. Mei’s things still couldn’t be retrieved.

However, he had recently discovered an issue: the business Mei Langchi constantly mentioned seemed overly secretive, which piqued Han Yi’s curiosity.

He intended to investigate properly after the New Year to see what exactly Mei Langchi was involved in.

"Mm, these pig trotters are good, and the meatball vermicelli soup is also tasty. Xiao Wan, how’s your consideration on the matter I mentioned? Third Uncle is offering you a 40% share; all you need to do is train my chef. There’s no need to worry about anything else," Chen Haichang didn’t bring up Qu Liushou and Ye Qing.

Although the outcome was slightly different from what he anticipated, the current situation still satisfied him.
