Liang Ermei, who was standing to the side, turned around and hurriedly said, "I...I didn't say anything. My brother didn't steal your money."

With a cold face, He Wan picked up her recorder and recorded everything she had just said.

The people inside the room turned pale when they heard the noise.

He Wan couldn't be bothered to look at their faces; those hypocritical people were disgusting to look at.

Seeing He Wan leave, Liang Shurui quickly chased after her and stopped her, saying, "He Qingqing, I'm sorry, at that time, our family was indeed in difficulty. My three younger brothers and sisters-in-law were all of age and urgently needed this money. If we didn't have the money, my second brother might also have to go to the countryside."

I found it on the ground by accident; I didn't steal your money. Please believe me.

"Whether you stole it or found it, you knew it was my money and didn't hand it over, so it's your problem. I will explain this to the police."

“He Zhiqing, I will pay you back.”

Inside the house, Liang Ermei never expected that the person who lost the money was also from the educated youth settlement.

When his brother mailed it to him, the letter said he had found it.

Even God couldn't bear to see them suffer, so He gave them a chance to live and gave them that 1,200 yuan. They were happy for almost half a year.

Of course, his mother was shrewd; she burned the letter his brother had written.

How can we still find the owner after all these years?

If she reports this to the police, her brother will definitely be in trouble.

Turning to look at the calm Chen Qing, she complained, "Even in this situation, why aren't you reacting at all? Hurry up and think of something."

Chen Qing glanced at her disdainfully and said, "Didn't you want to divorce me? Why would I help you when I have nothing better to do?"

"But my brother doesn't want to. Do you really want to see him go to jail? If my brother goes to jail, how will you be able to hold your head up in the village?"

"Hmph, they're pretty clever now. I wonder who was acting like an idiot just now."

"Sigh...you."

Chen Qing was too lazy to waste words with her. Apart from Liang Shurui, all the other members of the Liang family were her enemies.

However, she never expected that He Wan's money was picked up by her husband.

“He Wan, it’s just 1,200 yuan. We’ll return the money to you.”

"So what? You make it sound so easy. Are you blind? Don't you know what I was like when I first arrived at the educated youth settlement, or that I almost died?"

"Back then, I wanted to help you, but you..."

"Pah, Liang Shurui, don't pretend to be a good person after getting the benefits. You disgust me."

"Two thousand, we'll give you two thousand, is that alright?"

"Chen Qing, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

"Then how much do you want?"

"Do you know how difficult it was for me back then? 1,200 yuan, what does 1,200 yuan mean? In a small county town, I could buy two courtyard houses. 1,200 yuan would have allowed me to live comfortably in the countryside for more than ten years."

You may have forgotten, but I am a family member of a martyr. That 1,200 yuan was my parents' pension, money the country used to care for young orphans. You'll be punished for taking it, even if it doesn't seem like a bad thing.”

He Wan's words were rather harsh, which frightened Liang Ermei. Liang Shurui's face also turned pale, his lips trembled, and sweat dripped down his eyelids, nose, and cheeks.

Only Chen Qing calmly said, "I'll give you three thousand, how about it?"

Liang Ermei looked at Chen Qing in disbelief and said, "Are you crazy?"

He Wan snorted lightly: "I don't care about your three thousand yuan."

He was about to leave when he said that.

Liang Shurui, standing to the side, grabbed Chen Qing's hand and said, "Qingqing, I was wrong. You know my family's situation, but I had no choice at the time. This time, He Zhiqing definitely won't let it go easily. If I really go in, you...you..."
