1122 I Will Help You Achieve It
No matter how capable Xia Wen was, he could at most earn 130 dollars a month. He had to pay off his debts and also had his own expenses. Part of his salary would also go to provide for her. This amount of money was not enough at all. If they still had to take care of a child, their lives would become even more difficult.
“No, the orphanage definitely won’t agree to it with my current situation. Thank you for coming up with a plan for me, but let’s forget about this matter,” Tan Jing said dejectedly.
“Then do you still want your sister-in-law’s children?” Cheng Gu asked seriously.
“What do you mean…” Tan Jing said.
Cheng Gu looked around, then lowered his voice and said, “Your sister-in-law is about to give birth. At this time, if there is some kind of catalyst thrown at her, she will definitely give birth prematurely. As long as your sister-in-law dies, won’t they ask you to bring up the children? Don’t tell me they’ll ask your husband’s sister to do it?”
Both Xu Lan and Xia Mao were getting on in years, so they would not be able to keep their eyes on the babies at all times. Xia Zhe was always away in the army and would not have the time to take care of two newborn babies. Xia He had never given birth before. Furthermore, she was still young and her temperament was also not suitable.
If Qiao Mei died, Tan Jing would be the most suitable person to bring up these two children. The two children would still be the grandchildren of the Xia family and would receive the best care with her.
“No! Definitely not! We’re talking about the loss of a human life! Won’t my life be ruined as well?” Tan Jing said in shock.
She still wanted to live for many more years! Murder was punishable by death. In the event the babies died with their mother, that would be a loss of three lives at one go! Then she would be sentenced to death! She did not want to die with Qiao Mei.
“You don’t have to do it yourself. As long as it’s what you want, I’ll help you fulfill it,” Cheng Gu said firmly.
It would be a lie for Tan Jing to say that she did not waver in her decision. However, she could not be so treacherous for her own selfish desires. If she could sacrifice other people to achieve her goal, then she was no different from a beast.
Cheng Gu was still so young and had a bright future ahead of him. In the future, he would marry a virtuous wife and have a smart child. They would live happily together. Cheng Gu should not give up his lifelong happiness for her.
“No, don’t get involved in my family’s affairs. Even if you help me, I won’t remember your kindness. Instead, I’ll hate you for the rest of my life,” Tan Jing said.
“I know a friend whose team specializes in such dirty business. As long as this is what you want, I’ll arrange for them to do it. They’re very tight-lipped, so you don’t have to worry even if they fail,” Cheng Gu said.
As long as it did not affect Cheng Gu and her, then it was not such a big deal to her. All this while, Qiao Mei had bullied and suppressed her in every aspect. If she could get rid of Qiao Mei, then she would be able to fulfill all her desires.
Her nightmare would also finally come to an end.
“Then how do we find him? Do we need a lot of money? Or does he want something else?” Tan Jing asked.
“There’s no need for anything. You just need to tell me about your sister-in-law, such as her normal schedule, habits, diet and what she likes,” Cheng Gu said.
Tan Jing told Cheng Gu everything she knew and remembered, down to the minute detail of the timing when Qiao Mei would go to the toilet.
“This is enough. Just wait to hear from me.” After saying that, Cheng Gu patted Tan Jing on the head and left coolly.
Tan Jing was both excited and afraid. She looked forward to Cheng Gu bringing her good news. As long as she could get rid of Qiao Mei and get the children, she would be more than willing to shorten her own lifespan in exchange! When the time came, all of Qiao Mei’s houses would belong to her, together with Wu Min’s courtyard house. She would be able to take back everything that Qiao Mei took from her one by one!
She was going to be a mother soon! She was going to have a son soon!
At this moment, Qiao Mei was sitting in the courtyard and suddenly sneezed twice. Xia He was so worried that she quickly brought over a thick cloak to put over Qiao Mei.
“Are you going to catch a cold! Come in with me!” Xia He reprimanded sternly.
Xia He had already sealed off the corridor in this courtyard with plastic sheets so as to block out the wind. She only put in a small door opening, making the place look like those greenhouses in the suburbs.
