"Come out, Qian family's second son, come out right now..." Accompanied by shouts, the courtyard was soon filled with men and women.

Qian Jiangang jumped off the bed and quickly leaned out the window to look outside. The sight made his temples throb even more.

Why did Qin Hongxiang's family arrive so quickly?

"Who are you people?" Liu Heqing was the first to rush out, pointing at the group of people without any fear.

"Who are you? Who are you? I have no business with you. Quickly bring Qian Lao Er out. We need to ask him, we agreed to take care of my eldest sister and her two children, is this how he takes care of them? He's already sent them all to jail!"

The one jumping up and down shouting was Qin Hongxiang's younger brother, Qin Dazhu, surrounded by her second younger brother, Qin Erzhu, and her eldest nephew, Qin Jiabao. Her sister-in-law, Sun Chunmei, stood beside her husband, holding a wooden stick in her hand.

Qian Xiaozhen secretly peeked out from behind the crowd.

"Dad, come out quickly! My aunt's family has come to visit you!" Qian Lai shouted towards the inner room.

This wretched child!

Tough as a mule! A real pain to deal with!

Qian Jiangang was forced to come out of the inner room, but before he could even step out of the threshold of the main room, he was blocked back by the Qin brothers.

"Brother Qian! Tell me, how do you plan to save my sister?"

"Uncle, Uncle, you've finally come." Qian Dong finally saw his own people and came out of the inner room wiping away tears. "They said that two hundred yuan can get my mother out."

"Then go ahead and pay!" The Qin family looked at Qian Jiangang with confusion.

"Pay? Who will pay? I'm out of money." Qian Jiangang looked troubled. "If I had money, wouldn't I save people?"

"You're broke? Who would believe that? You're a workshop foreman, can't you ask the factory for an advance? If all else fails, borrow some. You can't just lie at home, can you?"

"He just doesn't want to save our sister."

"He's not her man after all. He talks about repaying a debt of gratitude and taking care of them for life. I think he'll be the first one to abandon them when trouble comes."

The Qian family members chimed in, making Qian Jiangang blush and turn pale with embarrassment.

"Brother and sister, we have no choice but to beg you now. Please, use your dowry to save my mother!"

Qian Lai was watching the show when he was startled by Qian Xiaozhen's sudden knee slide.

Utterly despicable!

"What? You have money but you won't help someone dying?" The Qian family members instantly surrounded Qian Lai, their faces twisted with ruthlessness. Teacher Yang and Liu Heqing stepped aside to block them.

"Oh, you mean the dowry from the Gu family?" Qian Lai asked Qian Xiaozhen, who was kneeling on the ground, as if she had just remembered.

"I've already had Xiao Li take the money back with him."

"What!" Qian Xiaozhen sprang up from the ground like a firecracker. "You're kidding me!"

"Hehe, why would I lie to you!"

My injury needs time to heal. I can't keep Xiao Li waiting here with me, can I? So I told him to go back first.

But it's not the theft itself that's worrisome, it's the having eyes on the thief. Everyone knows I received the money as a gift, and someone might try to take it for themselves.

Let him take it back first, so I can have peace of mind. Why would I lie to you about this?

If you don't believe me, you can call him and ask.

"Don't waste your breath on her, I think she just doesn't want to pay."

Sun Chunmei lost her patience and grabbed Qian Jiangang: "Second brother, tell me. Does the oath you made back then still stand?"

My older sister is inside right now; she can get out for two hundred yuan. Do you want to try and find a way?

"Second Uncle, please, please save my mother. She has done wrong, but save her first!" Qian Dong pleaded repeatedly.

“My sister is the one who gave birth to the only son in your Qin family. If you don’t resolve this matter today, we’re not leaving.”

Qin Erzhu also became arrogant.

“Brothers, most of Lao Qian’s monthly salary goes to his wife. If we’re talking about money, she’s much richer than us. Why are you always pressuring Lao Qian?” Liu Huiru’s voice trembled.

"Second sister-in-law, what you said is terrible. What do you mean by 'force'? If second brother could have found a solution immediately, we wouldn't have needed to make this trip."

"Yes, yes, yes, if my aunt had money, would she, would she, would she... would she not save herself?" Qin Jiabao's stuttering became more and more severe.

"Didn't you see it this morning, Uncle? My mother's money box is empty. Some bastard stole it. We really have no money left."

Suddenly, Qian Xiaozhen seemed to remember something, turned around and grabbed Qian Lai's wrist, "Sister, you haven't withdrawn the dowry money that Second Uncle saved for me, have you? Three hundred yuan, that's just enough, please save my mother!"

As she spoke, she even tried to pull Qian Lai away, but Liu Heqing shoved her away.

"Where was Aunt's money box found?" Qian Lai asked. "And why did she go in there?"

"I heard he was arrested along with Fatty Wang from the scrap metal yard?"

He was convicted of "corrupting social morals"!

"Tsk tsk, this charge...you should know what illegal thing I did, right?"

Qian Lai approached Qian Xiaozhen step by step, his eyes fixed on her nose: "Hey? Cousin? Now that I think about it, you look so similar to that fat old Wang?"

Especially your nose, oh my god, it's exactly the same.

"You! You, you, you, what do you mean?" Qian Xiaozhen instinctively covered her nose.

She had long realized that her facial features didn't seem to belong to the Qian family system.

My father and uncle, my brother and cousin, all have oval faces and pointed noses.

Why is it that I have a round face and a thick, round nose?

It wasn't until she had a meal with Qin Hongxiang and Fatty Wang that her suspicions were completely confirmed.
