He Runqing previously stated that he didn't care about money.

However, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount, and it involves the couple's plans, so they came to ask again.

Furthermore, Jiang Cheng is essentially a minor; at most, he's just involved in fighting. If the Jiang family has connections, they could probably get him out by spending money.

So, in a way, that 100,000 yuan was a wise move.

After weighing the pros and cons, He Xiaojie decided to discuss the matter with the two of them.

He Runqing stood up decisively: "No."

“I don’t want their money.” Her eyes were red.

"If someone does something wrong, they should be punished. Money isn't everything."

“My husband and I can both earn money. 100,000 yuan is indeed not easy to come by, but the fact that they gave us the money means they don’t have the ability to get people out of the police station.”

"My husband is lying inside. If he had been hit on the head by a brick, it wouldn't have been his chest cavity..."

"Does this mean I've lost my husband?"

When He Runqing said these words, Chen Yifei felt not only sweetness in his heart, but also a sense of pride that his wife was very clever.

She analyzed all of these things.

She's delicate and soft, but there's order within the chaos; she acts rationally in everything she does.

He Xiaojie also felt that his younger sister had changed a lot.

When I first went to the countryside, I knew nothing and seemed rather silly.

Why does she seem so different now? She's so calm and composed, mainly because He Xiaojie remembered seeing his sister holding a beer bottle and pointing it at Jiang Cheng.

That looks like it could really kill someone...

Even now, thinking about it makes me shudder.

Now that his younger sister had said that, He Xiaojie nodded and said, "I understand."

"You two just need to discuss it and then leave the rest to the family."

"But it's strange. Logically speaking, the Jiang family should have spent money to buy connections and start with the police station. This time, they actually gave us 100,000 yuan."

"But Dad hasn't even pulled any strings yet."

Chen Yifei smiled but remained silent.

He Xiaojie looked at his brother-in-law: "Could it be that your brother-in-law's identity is not simple? There's no way to mediate. Haha, I'm just kidding. This is a police station in Shanghai, it shouldn't have anything to do with your brother-in-law's side."

Chen Yifei said, "Yes, I know the director of the Municipal Bureau."

"Haha, just kidding."

He Xiaojie patted his chest and said, "That scared me to death! I thought it was real."

He Runqing knew that these relationships couldn't be discussed casually. Since they had arranged to meet privately, they couldn't let their family know and affect their plans.

She added, "Brother, don't overthink it. Our stance is clear: we don't want any money, we just want Jiang Cheng to go to jail."

Chen Yifei looked at his wife with eyes full of love: "Yes, I'll listen to Qingqing."

He Xiaojie watched the two of them exchanging glances and looking back and forth, and he felt uneasy: "Hey you two, are you really that close?"

"You little rascal, my sister will love you for the rest of her life." He Xiaojie felt a pang of sadness. He had watched his little sister grow up, but before he could even see her choose a husband, she had already brought her nephew back.

This kid naturally became a member of the family.

When He Xiaojie watched Runqing grow up, he always wondered what kind of person would marry his younger sister.

No one could have imagined that she would get married like this.

Although I'm quite satisfied and there's nothing to complain about, I still feel like my own homegrown cabbage has been eaten by a pig.

Chen Yifei smiled and said, "Brother, I will take good care of Runqing, don't worry."

"Yes. Don't worry, you shielded her from the bricks, not many men would do that. I really admire you."

He Xiaojie gave a thumbs up: "Then I'll go take care of it first. We won't negotiate with the Jiang family anymore."

"Runqing, just take good care of yourself when the time comes."

Chen Yifei felt that his injuries were not serious, just superficial wounds. The doctor then said that he could be discharged after three days of observation in the hospital.

Thinking that it wouldn't be good to rest at the clinic, since home is close by, I only need to go to the clinic every day to have my temperature checked and to see how I am doing. Now I can let He Runqing take me back.

He Runqing breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing the doctor say that Chen Yifei was alright, he finally felt relieved.

Chen Yifei smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not destined to die. As long as you're alright, I'll take you to live to be a hundred years old."

"Yes. Comrade Chen Yifei, I will definitely live a good life. Why are you always worried that something will happen to me? Haha!"

“I feel like you were really scared ever since that time I almost fell into the well.”

Chen Yifei didn't hide anything or show any other attitude; it seemed his thoughts had drifted a bit away.

"I just dreamt that you fell down, and I couldn't find you. I'm destined to grow old alone."

He seemed to be both mocking himself and joking: "So I really, really cherish your life."

“Because there is only one Comrade He Runqing and one Comrade Chen Yifei!” He Runqing continued.

He burst out laughing.

Chen Yifei nodded and held her hand tenderly.

After bringing the person home, He Duan quickly came out and said, "I asked the nanny to make chicken soup, as well as chicken carcasses and pork ribs, saying that you are what you eat to replenish your body."

Chen Yifei shook his head: "It's alright, Dad."

"I am in good health and more than capable of protecting Runqing. It's just that my mind and body weren't connected properly at the time, so I had a momentary mental lapse and fainted."

Upon hearing this, He Duan's tense expression relaxed: "Xiao Jie told me. You're great, Xiao Chen."

"Our Runqing has excellent taste."

He Runqing tilted his chin up and said, "That's right, Dad."

"Chen Yifei was the best man in the rural area of ​​Southwest China where I was sent down to work."

He Duan didn't believe this: "Before you came back, before the wedding, I had someone investigate. The results of the investigation were completely different from the Chen Yifei I met."

"My reputation isn't good, and now I can say it. It's because the people from your area are blind. Xiao Chen, my son-in-law. From now on, I'll make sure to clarify the rumors about everyone I meet."

Chen Yifei didn't offer much explanation. He accepted his father-in-law's "doting" at this point.

He Runqing was also happy and pulled his father aside to praise him.

That was alright, but He Duan became increasingly indignant about it.

The daughter was feeding Chen Yifei chicken soup, worried that it would burn him...

The daughter is helping Chen Yifei get dressed...

His daughter is getting him ready and says she'll cook for him herself...

As a father, He Duan couldn't calm down as he watched these scenes unfold.

He, as a father, has never enjoyed any of these good things that are good for his husband!

I was a little jealous; this kid is really lucky.
