B5SB -Chapter 293 Relationship Exposed

Birds of a feather flock together.

Cheng Weihong was also a heartless ingrate.

She ate her food and drank her drinks.

Took the subsidies she gave her, yet never once thought about her.

Thinking of this, Hu Shan suddenly slapped Jingjing’s hand hard and sprang to her feet.

Jingjing felt the pain and froze for a moment. Then, with a “waah,” she burst into loud sobs.

Cheng Weihong was stunned as well and hurriedly patted Jingjing’s back.

She looked up at Hu Shan, feeling uneasy, and said, “Sister-in-law, I won’t let you watch Jingjing anymore. I’ll take her to the supply and marketing cooperative.”

After saying that, she walked straight toward the door, passing Hu Shan.

Hu Shan immediately stepped forward to block her and said coldly, “Wait at home. I’ll go buy it!”

Before Cheng Weihong could react, Hu Shan turned around and shut the door.

Cheng Weihong froze for a moment. When she heard the “click” of the lock, her face changed drastically.

She rushed to the door and shouted, “Sister-in-law, why did you lock the door?!”

“Hurry and open it! I need to use the toilet!”

Hu Shan sneered when she heard this.

She ignored her and let Cheng Weihong pound on the door anxiously.

Hearing the noise next door, Grandma Gu came out holding Kang Long.

She looked at Hu Shan in surprise. “Xiao Shan, why did you lock Weihong inside?”

Then she seemed to remember something, walked closer, and whispered, “Did Xiao Han say she’d buy meat for me?”

Hu Shan was in a bad mood and had completely forgotten about the meat.

She glanced at Grandma Gu, thought for a moment, and said, “Grandma Gu, help me guard the door. Don’t let anyone pry the lock open. I’ll give you two jin of meat coupons.”

“Really?” Grandma Gu’s face lit up.

Hu Shan nodded. “I’ll give them to you when I’m back.”

Grandma Gu patted her chest. “Don’t worry, Xiao Shan. With me here, no one’s letting Weihong out.”

Hu Shan nodded coldly and turned to leave.

Inside, Cheng Weihong heard their conversation and turned pale with fear.

She paced back and forth, her heart pounding. She felt something terrible was about to happen.

No, she couldn’t just sit and wait.

She rushed to the door, pried it open a crack, and pleaded, “Grandma Gu, if you let me out, I’ll have my cousin give you five jin of meat coupons. Okay?”

“Five jin?” Grandma Gu imagined strips of fatty pork and swallowed.

She hesitated for a moment.

Seeing hope, Cheng Weihong hurriedly nodded. “Yes! As long as you let me out!”

After thinking for a while, Grandma Gu said, “No. I already promised Xiao Shan.”

Although she wanted the five jin of meat coupons, Hu Shan—who was close to her granddaughter—mattered more.

If she offended Hu Shan over this, what about her five yuan monthly allowance?

Inside, Cheng Weihong was so angry she almost fainted.

On the other side, Hu Shan ran toward the place where Cheng Bo’s cousin lived at the fastest speed of her life.

A journey that usually took half an hour, she finished in ten minutes.

Panting heavily, she stopped briefly at the alley entrance, then crouched and slipped inside under cover of darkness.

Inside the room, Xiu Ying sat on the bed, pouting as she looked at Cheng Bo, who had just changed the light bulb.

“You’re so late. Why did you come so late?” she complained.

Cheng Bo put the broken bulb on the table and walked over smiling.

He wrapped an arm around her waist and squeezed her. “Isn’t it because you picked the wrong person to pass the message? Of all people, you had to choose Secretary Chang helping you!”

Xiu Ying pushed him away and slapped his chest. Tears immediately fell.

“It’s because of that so-called wife of yours! I asked her to pass the message and she ignored me. I got worried, so I found someone else.”

Seeing her cry, Cheng Bo felt heartbroken. He pulled her into his arms.

“Alright, it’s my fault.”

“Darling, I want to move. Too many messy people live in this courtyard.”

“Okay. I’ll look around. Once I find a good place, we’ll move.”

Xiu Ying looked up at him with tearful eyes. “When can the three of us live together forever?”

Outside the window, Hu Shan squatted and listened. Her vision blurred with tears.

She bit her lip hard, her nails digging into her palms.

Only then could she ignore the stabbing pain in her heart.

Xiu Ying poked his chest and sobbed, “We agreed—you’re not allowed to fall in love with Hu Shan.”

Cheng Bo laughed when he saw her jealousy.

“Isn’t everything I’m doing for you and our son’s future? She’s just an old hen that can’t lay eggs. How could I care about her?”

“Only you are the one I love. Once I find her dowry, I’ll divorce her.”

“Then we can live together forever!”

Xiu Ying wiped her tears. “Really? You won’t lie to me?”

Cheng Bo gently wiped her face. “Silly girl, I only love you.”

“If it weren’t for giving you and our son a better life, why would I force myself to be with that ugly woman?”

“You know I’ve always liked women with curves like yours—ones I can’t even hold with one hand.”

“Someone like Hu Shan, all skin and bones. Looking at her too long hurts my eyes.”

Xiu Ying laughed through her tears and puffed out her chest proudly. “That’s more like it!”

Cheng Bo sighed. “You know how hard it is now to find a job with an urban registration, let alone with rural status.”

“Once we get her dowry, we’ll arrange an ‘accident’ for her. Then her job will be yours.”

“After that, you and our son can eat state grain.”

Thinking about becoming an urban resident, Xiu Ying grew excited. “Then you’re not allowed to touch her anymore!”

Cheng Bo smiled and nodded. “Okay. I’ll only sleep with you.”

He leaned in to kiss her.

Xiu Ying dodged on purpose.

He hugged her tightly. “Wife, I’ve missed you so much. Let me kiss you.”

“Stop it. I’m not your wife. The one at home is.”

“What wife? You’re my real wife!”

“Good wife, let me feel good. I’ve been holding it in forever!”

He grabbed her waist and pulled her toward the bed.

At this moment, Hu Shan’s heart was already numb.

She now had only one goal:

To make this pair of shameless lovers pay for what they’d done.

She slowly stood up and walked to the door, staring inside.

Just as she was about to push it open—

Suddenly, a large hand pulled her into the next room.
