Three days ago,

Zhou Dana's bank account suddenly received a remittance of 100,000 yuan.

For the two people who were looking for jobs and struggling to make ends meet, this was like a windfall, and a huge one at that.

A full 100,000!

Even if the couple doesn't work for a year, there won't be any problem.

From initial shock to confusion, and then to surprise, they didn't receive a single call from the bank or contact Uncle Hat for two days. So they simply stopped worrying about it. After all, the money was in their bank account, so it was theirs. Thus, the two began a spending spree, buying all sorts of things.

Even with these expenses, the total cost over the two days was only five or six thousand, leaving more than ninety thousand.

"Big shot, tell me, what's going on with this money?"

"If someone has sent the wrong amount, they should contact us."

Why haven't we heard anything at all?

While eating breakfast, Wang Xiuhua was still pondering how this windfall had come about.

Zhou Dana was also thinking about this issue. "Perhaps, that person didn't realize they had transferred the wrong person, and then something happened—they disappeared, they died, all of that is possible, so no one investigated."

"Is it really such a coincidence?" Wang Xiuhua felt that the possibility was even lower than winning the lottery.

“Anything is possible. After all, money has been deposited into our account. If that’s the case, then something even more outrageous is possible,” Zhou Dana said thoughtfully. There was no other way to explain the source of this huge sum of money except in this situation.

Wang Xiuhua nodded, agreeing that there was some truth to it.

But the next second...

She suddenly slammed her hand on the table and made a bold conjecture: "I know, Da Na, do you think it's possible that this money was sent to us by the father or mother of those three little brats?"

Um?

Upon hearing this, Zhou Dana's expression became more serious.

"Almost all of your relatives are penniless. Even if they have a little money, they only have tens of thousands of yuan at most. Who could suddenly come up with 100,000 yuan? Could it be that your older brother is still alive and has become successful, so he sent us 100,000 yuan to repay us for helping him raise his children?"

Wang Xiuhua analyzed the situation methodically.

Zhou Dana frowned and remained silent for a while before suddenly rejecting the idea: "I think it's unlikely. First of all, there's been no news for so many years. Secondly, since he was willing to give me 100,000 yuan, he should have made a phone call. Even if he didn't know our current phone number, he could still contact people in the family, but we haven't received a single call."

I'm still more inclined to believe that someone transferred money to the wrong account, meaning money intended for someone else was sent to our bank account instead. The possibility is very, very small, but it's not impossible. We're just lucky; after suffering so much in the pyramid scheme, this is like God compensating us.

Wang Xiuhua agreed with Zhou Dana's point of view. After all, 100,000 yuan was not a small amount. Even if those two people were alive, it was their money that they had transferred. It made no sense that they hadn't even made a phone call. No phone call meant that it had nothing to do with them.

Even if it really is, so what?

Although they didn't raise the three siblings, they at least found them, which is a merit, so taking 100,000 yuan is not excessive at all.

“All the gold and silver jewelry we had before is gone. Now that we have this windfall, we’ll use this money to make up for it.”

After putting down his chopsticks, Zhou Dana made the final decision on today's spending.

Wang Xiuhua's eyes lit up. She touched her bare wrists and neck, and realized that she really needed gold to set them off. She didn't have money before, but things were different now. Her family had more than 90,000 yuan. In the countryside, that would make them rich and the envy of others.

"Then this time I want a large gold bracelet."

“No problem, one on each hand, let’s make it a double celebration.”

Zhou Dana waved his hand magnanimously.

"I want the ring too, and the earrings, the necklace..."

Wang Xiuhua smiled, her eyes revealing eagerness.

After breakfast, the couple took their bank cards, locked the door, and took a taxi straight to the jewelry store.

Just after the two arrived at the jewelry store, Zhou Ling, who was following behind, arrived one after the other.

Zhou Ling never expected that Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, who had been complaining about being poor to her, would have money to shop at a gold store. Could they afford the gold jewelry there?

She planned to continue observing secretly.

However,

The next second, she was stunned to see Zhou Dana take out his bank card and swipe it directly.

Such a big gold bracelet, you just bought it like that?

Where did they get the money?

This isn't three or five hundred, but several thousand, or even tens of thousands.

Could it be that Uncle Hat got back the money he swindled from her before, so these two are now using her money to buy gold jewelry?

Upon realizing this, Zhou Ling was so angry that her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

No wonder the two of them ran away that very night, leaving Fanjia County. It turns out they took the money with them and didn't want to return it to her.

This is outrageous!

This is her money!

Zhou Ling couldn't wait any longer, nor did she want to hold back. She took quick steps and rushed to Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua.

He snatched the bank card away.

"Give me back my card, or I'll call the police..."

Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously shouted that they should call him Uncle Hat.

Zhou Ling didn't run away after getting the bank card. She stood there, coldly watching the two of them, and snorted, "Go ahead and call the police. I'll let you do it. Just call Uncle Hat over right now."

Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua were dumbfounded when they saw Zhou Ling suddenly appear in front of them. They never expected Zhou Ling to be here.

"you……"

Wang Xiuhua pointed at Zhou Ling with an incredulous expression. In her mind, Zhou Ling should be in Fanjia County.

"Surprised? I came to Yanjing to find you, and you two abandoned me again. You even used the money you swindled from me to buy gold jewelry. Do you deserve to be parents? How dare you take my money and spend it here?"

"If you want to call the police, do it now. If that doesn't work, I'll call them for you. I was just about to ask Uncle Hat, what law does abandoning your child violate, and should you be punished by law?"

Zhou Ling looked completely smug. She no longer treated the two people in front of her like her parents had before; she now harbored hatred towards them.

Her life was a mess, partly because of these two people; they were also one of the culprits.

“Little Rabbit… um…” Zhou Dana was about to blurt out the words “little rascal” when he quickly changed his words and said, “Xiaoling, give your bank card to Dad. You want money, right? Let’s change our place to live. No problem, we’ll rent you a new one.”

“Daughter, actually, we’re here to choose gold jewelry for you, not to buy it for ourselves.”

Wang Xiuhua was even more clever; she simply said it was for Zhou Ling.

Um?

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Zhou Ling's face.
