Chapter 0045 Spring Mountain Residence
Chunshanju is a high-end private hospital, and its clients are either rich or noble. Not everyone can go in , let alone send a body in for preservation.
This shows that Zhu Shouwen’s in-laws should not be ordinary.
Later, when I asked Zhu Xiaomei, I found out that her sister-in-law's surname was Wang, and she was from a wealthy and powerful family in Jiangcheng.
"Alas, my brother has never had a good life." Zhu Xiaomei shed tears in a daze, "My mother was seriously ill that year, and the medical expenses alone were a bottomless pit. My brother married into the Wang family for money."
I found this a bit strange. It was said that the Wang family was wealthy and could easily find any rich son-in-law they wanted. But from the way Zhu Xiaomei spoke, it seemed as if Zhu Shouwen had only married into the Wang family because of the money.
Is it because Miss Wang is too ugly and no one wants her?
However, Zhu Xiaomei shook her head and said, "My sister-in-law is a famous beauty, and there are countless people chasing after her. But I don't know what happened. Suddenly, the Wang family announced that they wanted to recruit a man who was born on the same day as my sister-in-law to be their son-in-law."
"And the person who is chosen will not only become the son-in-law of the Wang family, but will also be given one million in cash."
"After this incident came out, many people applied, including my brother. In the end, my brother was selected."
"At that time, many people said that my brother was lucky and got a great bargain, but who knew that the Wang family was so cruel!"
"Ever since my brother married into the Wang family, he has not been treated as a human being by them. And I know that although my sister-in-law is nominally my brother's wife, they have never slept together."
"My sister-in-law wouldn't let my brother touch her even a finger. Every night, my brother was forced to sleep on the floor in the corridor."
"My brother is not even as good as a servant in the Wang family. That's not all. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, they would make my brother go to their old house in the west of the city, dig a hole in the yard, and bury most of my brother, leaving only the part above the chest exposed."
"It takes a whole night to bury it like this, even if it rains or snows heavily, they will still do it! The Wang family is simply inhuman!"
Zhu Xiaomei said this with gritted teeth.
I was quite surprised to hear this. According to Zhu Xiaomei, his brother's life was worse than death in the Wang family.
But the Wang family is a wealthy family in Jiangcheng after all, so how could they do such a ridiculous thing?
Could it be that he deliberately wanted to recruit a live-in son-in-law to abuse her?
This is a bit hard to justify.
I suddenly thought of something: "Is this jade plaque given to your brother by your sister-in-law?"
Zhu Xiaomei nodded and choked up, "My sister-in-law is beautiful, well-educated, and the daughter of a wealthy family. How could she be interested in a poor boy like my brother? She has always been very cold to him."
"But my brother is not very good. He told me privately that he seemed to like my sister-in-law. Alas, he didn't even think about what kind of person my sister-in-law is..."
"But one day more than two months ago, my brother suddenly came to me happily and told me that my sister-in-law gave him a protective amulet."
"I found it very strange at the time, because my sister-in-law usually doesn't even want to talk to my brother, so why would she ask for a peace amulet for him?"
"So when my brother got into trouble, I've been brooding over this piece of jade ever since!"
I was a little surprised: "Do you suspect that your sister-in-law used the jade to kill your brother?"
Zhu Xiaomei wiped her tears and nodded, saying, "I do have this thought, otherwise why would she give my brother this jade?"
By this time the car had arrived at Chunshanju Hospital.
We got out of the car and walked in. Zhu Xiaomei found the front desk and said she wanted to see the body of her brother Zhu Shouwen.
The receptionist looked at her and said coldly, "Sorry, miss, you can't look at it."
Zhu Xiaomei immediately became anxious: "I am my brother's biological sister, why can't I see it?"
"It's like this. Mr. Zhu Shouwen was sent in by the Wang family, so if you want to see it, you must have the Wang family's authorization."
Zhu Xiaomei was stunned. "But he is my brother, can't you be more flexible..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted impatiently by the other party, "We don't care if you are a real brother or any other brother here. If you want to see it, go find the Wang family. You can only see it if they agree!"
Seeing Zhu Xiaomei's eyes wide open, she was angry and anxious, so I spoke up and said, "The dead are the greatest. You can't stop your relatives from seeing each other for the last time, right?"
The receptionist said with annoyance: "This is the rule, understand one can change it! You guys leave now, or I'll call security!"
I looked at her like she was chasing away two flies, and I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. I just happened to see a middle-aged fat man coming out of the elevator, so I shouted at him, "Old Cai, this way!"
The fat man glanced over here, then immediately trotted over, smiling and saying, "Hey, Mr. Chen, why didn't you tell Lao Cai in advance that you were coming? I could have prepared for you!"
This fat guy, Old Cai, is one of the persons in charge of Chunshanju. He was in charge of entertaining me when I came here last time, so we are quite familiar with each other.
I didn't have time to be polite at this time, so I interrupted him and explained my purpose.
When Old Cai heard this, his face immediately darkened and he scolded the receptionist: "Don't you have eyes? What's the rule? Mr. Chen said it clearly, it's natural for family members to meet. I think you don't want to do this anymore. If you don't want to do this, get out now!"
The woman was so frightened that she was shaking. "I...I asked for leave a few days ago and didn't see Mr. Chen...I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm sorry..."
I almost cried when I saw her, thinking that in this world, background really matters. Without some connections, it would be hard to even see a dead person. So I waved my hand and said forget it.
Old Cai glared at the woman fiercely and said, "Mr. Chen is a magnanimous person and will not bother with you. Why don't you quickly check which room Zhu Shouwen's body is in?"
The receptionist nodded repeatedly, sat in front of the computer and started working, then raised her head and said timidly, "Then... then Zhu Shouwen has been taken away by the Wang family. It was... at noon."
Zhu Xiaomei got anxious when she heard this. "Took him away? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
Upon seeing this, Old Cai quickly called a few people over to ask, and found out that Zhu Shouwen had indeed been taken away.
When I calculated the time, I found that these days were not suitable for burial. Why did the Wang family take the person away in a hurry?
Since Zhu Shouwen is no longer here, we won't stay any longer.
When he heard that I was going to Wang's house, Lao Cai quickly sent a car to take us there.
After getting in the car, Zhu Xiaomei stammered, "Mr. Chen, I don't know how much this fee is... Don't worry, I can pay it no matter how much it is! But I... Can I pay it in installments?"
I think I understood.
I guess it was because she saw Lao Cai being so respectful to me at Chunshanju just now, and she was afraid that my fees would be too high.
I smiled and told her to just call me Xiao Chen, and as for the fee, I would round it up to two thousand yuan and ask her if it was okay.
When Zhu Xiaomei heard that it was two thousand, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.
The car sped all the way and arrived at the destination half an hour later.
