When Mrs. Qian heard her grandson talking nonsense on the phone, she didn't react for a moment and said, "When did I give the money..."

Before she could finish her words, the old man Qian who was waiting by the phone reacted quickly and said, "Old woman, I think you must have misplaced the money. Let's go to the wing room and look for it carefully..."

Mrs. Qian was very angry about what Old Man Qian said and cursed: "Bullshit, don't you think I don't know where the money is? I..."

This time, Old Man Qian went even further. He snatched the phone from Old Lady Qian's hand and hung up the phone.

Mrs. Qian's anger was immediately ignited. Just as she was about to attack Old Man Qian, he immediately shouted, "The money was taken by Xiaobin!"

"What did you say? Say it again? You old traitor, how dare you wrongly accuse my eldest grandson?" Old Mrs. Qian asked excitedly.

Old Man Qian said quickly, "Old woman, think about it. When you said that money was lost at home, what was Xiaobin's reaction? When we found out that the money was lost, we were all distressed and anxious, but Xiaobin seemed to know that the money was lost and even told you that it was in the wing next to the pigpen.

You said he didn't take the money, so who else could it be? If I hadn't hung up the phone and changed the subject with Xiaobin, wouldn't the police have immediately put Xiaobin in jail for stealing the money?

By then, I don't know how long the sentence will be for assault and theft. I think we should not let the police investigate the case of lost money, and just say that the money was found. That way, we can handle the assault case more easily!"

After Mr. Qian's analysis, Mrs. Qian's anger subsided. She quickly picked up the phone and called the township police station, requesting that the case be dropped, saying that she was old and had made a mistake in remembering where she had put the money.

Since the owner said so, the township police station naturally didn't want to deal with the matter anymore.

Afterwards, Old Man Qian, Old Lady Qian and Qian Jincai started the "looking for money" mode and gathered in the room that Qian Longbin mentioned.

Because Old Man Qian hung up the phone so quickly, Qian Longbin didn't have time to say where he hid the money.

After searching extensively, they found nothing. This wing was where the Qian family usually stored their farm tools. To find the one thousand yuan, they moved all the tools that hadn't been used for a long time into the yard, completely emptying the entire wing.

Afterwards, they dug up all the rat holes in the side room several times and searched the beams, but still couldn't find any trace of the money.

Mrs. Qian refused to give up and took the old man and the eldest son to several other side rooms. After the rooms were emptied of their belongings, plus the time spent searching, they spent several hours. In the middle of the night, they kept the lights on and searched every corner with flashlights. Mrs. Qian also called several children to help her find the money.

"This is really strange. Since Xiaobin said he was in the side room, he must be there. How could he disappear? Mom, why don't we call the police station and ask Xiaobin?" Qian Jincai, who never worked, sat down on the ground tiredly and said to Old Mrs. Qian.

Old Mrs. Qian looked at her foolish son who only knew how to hang around and flirt with women, and replied unhappily: "Do you think that police station is our home? Say whatever you want. There are police watching Xiaobin there.

Let’s not look for her today, let’s find a way to get Xiaobin out first. I’ll call Jinling and ask her to send some money back!”

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Qian went back to the house to call her youngest daughter, regardless of the fact that her back and waist ached from working all day.

Qian Jinling was very angry after being scolded by Qian Longbin for finding a technical school for him. She had already told her mother that she would never care about her nephew Qian Longbin's affairs again.

Old Mrs. Qian also knew that her youngest daughter was very angry with her eldest grandson that time, so when she asked for money, she didn't dare say that it was to save Qian Longbin. Instead, she said, "Jinling, your father is sick and in the hospital. The doctor said he needs surgery. We need to prepare at least 5,000 yuan! Your father and I are not capable enough. We don't have this much money. Please send some money back to Mom first!"

Although Mrs. Qian favored sons over daughters, she was still very kind to her only daughter. Of course, this was largely because her daughter was very beautiful, so she had always instilled in her the idea that she could live a good life by relying on her beauty.

Qian Jinling did not disappoint. After graduating from junior high school, she went to the city to work, hooked up with a big boss, and became his mistress. Later, she directly squeezed out the original wife and became a wealthy wife.

She is quite filial to her parents. Although she does not send money regularly every month like her second brother, she often sends various good things home. The refrigerator and telephone in the house were also paid for by Qian Jinling.

She only comes back two or three times a year, and each time she gives her parents a few thousand dollars.

Today, when she heard Mrs. Qian say that her father was ill and needed surgery, she thought the situation must be serious, so she asked nervously, "Mom, what's wrong with my father? Do we have insurance for surgery?"

Why don't I take some time to go back in the next couple of days and bring my dad to the provincial capital for further examinations? If he wants surgery, the conditions here will definitely be better and we can avoid unnecessary risks!"

Old Mrs. Qian quickly declined, "No, no, I'm just old and I fell and broke a bone. It's inconvenient for me to go far away, so I can get it treated right here in our county hospital. The doctor said they do this kind of surgery a lot, so it won't be dangerous."

Qian Jinling continued, "I've been busy lately and don't have time to go home, so you should ask my brother and sister-in-law to take good care of my dad. Mom, let me say something you may not like, but you're getting older and older. My eldest brother is almost fifty, so you should just order him around and let him take on some responsibilities."

Old Mrs. Qian readily agreed, "Oh, oh, Mom knows. Your eldest brother knows how to worry about the family now, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Qian Jinling continued, "Okay, if anything happens at home, just call me! I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow morning, and you can go to the bank around ten o'clock."

After that, the mother and daughter exchanged a few more pleasantries and hung up the phone.

Old Mrs. Qian's heart, which had been hanging in the balance all day, finally settled down. As for the second son and his wife, it all depended on how the Zhan family handled the situation. Old Mrs. Qian didn't know which police station the couple had been taken to, and she couldn't care less about them now. Bringing her eldest grandson home was the most important thing.
