Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 478: Zhang Lancao Seeks Wu Qingsong

Wu Qingsong was taken aback when he looked up and saw Zhang Lancao, but quickly his eyes grew distant as he asked, "Is there something you need?"

Zhang Lancao started to weep silently upon hearing his voice.

Wu Qingsong immediately grew tense and asked Zhang Lancao, "If you have something to say, just say it, don’t cry here like that.

Even for the sake of my brother, if you’re in trouble, just say it, and I’ll definitely help if I can."

Hearing this, Zhang Lancao’s tears flowed even more fiercely, thinking about how Gu Fuying was prettier, had better temperament, and was younger than her.

On top of that, she came from a better family background, which made her heart ache tremendously.

Looking at Wu Qingsong, Zhang Lancao wept and said, "Qingsong, I was wrong to you before.

I was the one who let you down, but Sister-in-law also wanted to hurt you.

Mainly because Gu Fuying was better than me in every way, she’s more suitable for you."

Wu Qingsong wore a puzzled look upon hearing this; Xu Ying had told him it was Sister Lan Cao who upon hearing about his trouble, not wanting her family to get involved, decided to break up with him.

Moreover, Zhang Lancao herself had come to tell him they should break up and soon after married someone else.

Could there be some hidden secret to all of this?

Seeing Wu Qingsong taking her words to heart, Zhang Lancao persisted, "Qingsong, I’m not telling you all this for nothing.

Seeing you’re living a good and happy life now, Sister-in-law is genuinely happy for you.

I’m sorry, Qingsong, but this time I really had no other choice but to think of asking you for help."

Wu Qingsong asked, "What is it?"

Zhang Lancao covered her face, sobbing dramatically, "When I remarried, I really didn’t want to. It was my mother-in-law who forced me into it by using my two sons as leverage to coerce me.

Having married into that family, I accepted my fate; maybe it’s just my bad luck!

It’s been just over a year since I married there and now my husband is gone, and now I have to go back to live in Xujia Village.

But my mother-in-law is still using my sons to threaten me, making me work like an ox and horse for the family.

If it were just me being worked to death it would be one thing, but my mother-in-law makes my sons do labor like slaves too, serving my brother-in-law’s family.

Qingsong, I want to escape from this family, but I have nowhere to live, and my sons’ household registrations are still with my mother-in-law.

Sister-in-law begs you, please help me."

Hearing this, Wu Qingsong frowned deeply. Zhang Lancao’s mother-in-law was greedy, and as long as she had a hold over Sister Lan Cao, she wouldn’t let her go easily.

And Sister Lan Cao always seemed to flip-flop; even if he tried to help her, she could end up being swayed by a few words from her mother-in-law.

In the end, he would be the one stuck in the middle.

Looking at Zhang Lancao, he felt somewhat powerless.

Zhang Lancao, as if sensing his concern, hastily said, "This time I truly want to escape from that family. As long as I can take my sons with me."

Wu Qingsong’s eyes pierced into Zhang Lancao, and he couldn’t help but ask, "Sister Lan Cao, what exactly do you want me to do for you?"

Zhang Lancao replied weakly, "My mother-in-law said I’m free to remarry, but if I want my sons, I’ll have to ’buy’ them with the dowry money."

Zhang Lancao didn’t finish her sentence, but Wu Qingsong instantly understood what she meant.

Smiling, he said, "If that’s really the case, then this matter is much easier to deal with."

At these words, Zhang Lancao’s face lit up with joy, "Qingsong, are you really willing to help me?

But what about Gu Fuying?"

Wu Qingsong’s face was full of confusion, "There’s no need to tell Fuying about this matter, we can handle it privately."

The main reason was that he feared Fuying would become angry upon finding out, but he also felt guilty about not helping his brother.

Zhang Lancao, however, thought Wu Qingsong intended to marry her behind Gu Fuying’s back and her face immediately lit up with joy.

At present, the wealthiest in Xujia Village were probably Xu Ying’s family and Huo Chen, followed by Wu Qingsong. This guy had made a lot of money working with Huo Chen.

There were talks about starting a rural tourism business, and he had even leased a mountain in their own village. Xu Ying had spent hundreds of thousands when she leased the back mountain.

Wu Qingsong was actually able to put forth so much money, which meant he must have saved quite a bit.

As Zhang Lancao was reveling in her happiness, Wu Qingsong’s next words delivered a crushing blow.

"Sister Lan Cao, just tell me how much money you need, I’ll cover it for you. Then you can give the money to your mother-in-law and just move out to live on your own with your son.

Now, they are hiring in Xujia Village, and there’s accommodation too. You could find a job there and move into the dormitory with both your kids."

Zhang Lancao was immediately dumbfounded as she looked at Wu Qingsong in disbelief, "Qingsong, do you really have no feelings for me anymore?"

Wu Qingsong was stunned.

The sound of Zhang Lancao’s crying grew louder.

The people who had come for a meal could hear the noise, and Granny Zhang Lancao’s table, positioned near the outside, also caught the sound.

"Granny Zhang Lancao, why is your daughter-in-law crying outside?"

Granny Zhang Lancao, upon hearing this, remained indifferent and continued eating.

However, upon hearing their mother cry, Zhang Lancao’s two sons became unsettled and anxiously ran outside.

Right as they reached the entrance, they saw Wu Qingsong standing outside, and their faces immediately turned pale. Zhang Xiaoda, in particular, glared at Wu Qingsong angrily, "You can’t bully my mom.

You bad man, I won’t let you become my dad."

Granny Zhang Lancao was enjoying her meat when she caught what her eldest grandson said, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Someone else was interested in her eldest son’s wife; oh wow, another bridal price to earn.

Granny Zhang Lancao, thrilled, grabbed her grandson and rushed outside only to see Wu Qingsong leaning against the car.

She narrowed her eyes in a sly smile, knowing full well that Wu Qingsong was making good money doing business with Huo Chen, and both were becoming rich.

Who would have thought that this lad was still hopelessly in love? Despite Lancao’s shamelessness in marrying another man, this kid couldn’t stop thinking about her.

But this was even better; she could ask for more money. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"Wu lad, you’re still pining for my Lancao, are you? Auntie isn’t close-minded, and if you’re really fond, it’s not impossible.

But let’s get one thing straight first, the bridal price is one thousand yuan, not a cent less," Granny Zhang Lancao said greedily.

Those words caused an immediate gasp among the people of Xujia Village. One thousand yuan, this old lady really had the nerve to ask for that much.

Zhang Lancao had already been married twice; the young man in front of them might not be well-known in Xujia Village, but they knew he was in business with Huo Chen.

How could he have such poor taste, to be interested in a widow who had married so many times?

Zhang Lancao looked at Wu Qingsong expectantly.

But Wu Qingsong just found it bizarre. He looked at Granny Zhang Lancao and sneered coldly, "Auntie, one thousand yuan? You must be crazy with greed."

Granny Zhang Lancao smirked proudly, "What about one thousand yuan? Didn’t you say you’d give five hundred before? But that was over a year ago, the price has got to go up!

And besides, you’ve made quite a bit of money with Huo Chen over the years, one thousand yuan isn’t that much."

"Wu Qingsong, you want to marry this woman?" Gu Yanjun happened to be passing by, witnessed the farce unfolding, and his face immediately darkened.
