Qin Xiang's mother heard from Qin Xiang that the phone had been broken these past few days and told her not to worry about it, as Qin Xiang would find someone to fix it.

When Qin Xiang's mother saw Zhu Guoqiang, she thought that her son-in-law, being a military officer, must be very capable. Perhaps he could even fix telephones. She often called her relatives.

She felt a little uneasy because she hadn't made many phone calls these past few days. She thought about calling her relatives to catch up on recent events.

In the past few days, several relatives have come to her house asking about the department store explosion. Although she didn't know what happened, she was worried about Qin Xiang's business.

Only when Qin Xiang recovers can their family's situation improve.

"Xiang'er said the phone is broken and she'll get someone to fix it, but it's been several days and no one has come. See if you know how to fix it. If not, wait for Xiang'er to get someone to fix it."

Hearing his mother-in-law's words, Zhu Guoqiang wanted to make a good impression on her. Although she was only Qin Xiang's adoptive mother, she treated him quite well.

"Mom, I'll take a look now."

Zhu Guoqiang immediately went to check the phone.

He discovered that the telephone line had been ripped out, so he reconnected it.

"There shouldn't be any problem with the phone. You can make a call now. Please try making a call."

Qin Xiang's mother immediately called other relatives.

"It's connected."

"Mother-in-law." Qin Xiang's mother called her daughter-in-law's mother.

"Mother-in-law, why haven't I been able to get through to you on the phone these past few days?"

On the other end of the phone, the mother-in-law said with a smile.

Qin Xiang's mother now lives in Qin Xiang's house, while her in-laws live there. Qin Xiang also installed a telephone in their house this year.

Now, all the neighbors envy them. They envy them for having such an outstanding daughter. Although she is adopted, she has raised her for twenty years, so she is like their own daughter.

Moreover, the Duan family gave her several thousand yuan, and her daughter also gave her several thousand yuan. Now, her son and daughter-in-law have opened a shop that they are managing. They can receive several thousand yuan a year.

After talking on the phone with her mother-in-law for a while, Qin Xiang's mother heard her granddaughter crying and rushed to comfort her.

Zhu Guoqiang was about to go and comfort his daughter when the phone rang again. He answered it, and on the other end, a woman angrily called out Qin Xiang's name.

"Qin Xiang, why haven't I been able to get through to you on the phone these past few days? When are you going to give me that ten thousand yuan? Are you trying to pull some trick on me? Let me tell you, if you dare to scheme against me, I'll expose all your dirty secrets..."

Zhu Guoqiang's face darkened upon hearing this.

"Who are you? You're blackmailing my wife."

Hearing the man's voice, the woman jumped in fright. He said Qin Xiang was his wife? Then he was Qin Xiang's husband?

"Beep beep beep".

The call was immediately disconnected.

Zhu Guoqiang's expression darkened further upon hearing the voice on the phone.

Who exactly is this woman? What scandalous things did she say Qin Xiang did? Why did she ask Qin Xiang for 10,000 yuan?

"Son-in-law, who called?"

Upon hearing his mother-in-law's words, Zhu Guoqiang quickly put down the microphone and said with a smile.

"Wrong number."

Did you make a mistake?

Qin Xiang's mother held her granddaughter, not thinking about anything else.

Zhu Guoqiang didn't return to the training unit until very late, and he kept suspecting that Qin Xiang was hiding something from him.

Could it be that while he was away, Qin Xiang was with other men? Or did Qin Xiang do something that caused trouble?

What could possibly be so outrageous as to demand 10,000 yuan?
