Chapter 183 Qian Jincai's Vanity

Aunt Zhang cursed in her heart, "Serves you right," but she didn't show it on her face. She said, "Oh, that's really unlucky for you!"

Seeing someone sympathizing with him, Qian Jincai immediately opened up: "Hey, if this person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth. This time I really understand. My family has been having troubles lately, it's like we're possessed by an evil spirit!"

Aunt Zhang followed up on Qian Jincai's words and said, "From what you said, it seems that your family has had a lot of problems recently?"

Qian Jincai said, "If it weren't for something happening at home, I wouldn't have to bring several children here!"

Aunt Zhang showed a very gossipy expression, walked directly to Qian Jincai's bedside, and asked: "What happened? Can you tell me about it? Some things are not good for the family if you keep them bottled up. If you tell me about it, maybe things will go smoothly in the future."

Aunt Zhang turned around and asked another old lady, "Is that right, old sister?"

The old lady didn't understand why, but since she had nothing else to do, gossiping was a bit fun, so she quickly replied, "It really is like that sometimes. Young man, can you tell us about your family affairs?"

Qian Jincai had no intention of hiding it from anyone. He felt that none of the things in his family could be hidden from everyone except the fact that his second son and his wife might be human traffickers. Moreover, he had a lot of worries recently, and he was about to explode from holding them in his heart.

After sorting out his thoughts for a while, he said, "Our family's recent bad luck started with the second son's family. They had a feud with the third son and his wife. After returning to their hometown, the third son's wife started to make trouble, so the second son and his wife were afraid to go home.

They were still doing business outside and had no time to delay, so they left first, leaving the children at home, and said they would come back to pick them up in a few days.

As a result, they didn't come for several days, and the two little ones were making a fuss looking for their parents, so the children's grandmother asked me to send the children over.

I finally made it all the way from my hometown to the train station, and just as I was about to buy my ticket, I was met by a scammer who dragged me out, beat me up, and stole my money.

Aunt Zhang interrupted, "Are those children all from the second son's family? They've had quite a few, haven't they?"

Qian Jincai quickly nodded in agreement and said, "That's true, she gave birth to so many children and couldn't even take care of them herself, and now she has to cause trouble for us. Hey! Who made me the eldest brother? I left my own children at home and came out to take care of the second one's children!"

Aunt Zhang asked again, "How many children do you have? How old are they?"

Qian Jincai replied: "I have a daughter and a son. My daughter is in school, and my son got into a fight with someone. It wasn't a big deal, but they ended up extorting 30,000 yuan from us and locking my son up. Where can we ordinary people go to seek justice?"

My son beat him, and his father beat my son too, almost breaking his leg. But they have power, and when we went to court, the judge sided with them. We can only accept our bad luck, alas..."

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes in her heart at Qian Jincai, who was twisting right and wrong. If she hadn't known the truth, she would have almost been fooled by this man.

The other old lady actually believed what Qian Jincai said and continued, "Hearing what you said, your family is really unlucky. Thirty thousand yuan in compensation is really a lot. How many ordinary people can come up with thirty thousand yuan at once these days?"

So, your family is not bad? Are you a businessman, or do you have a wife who can manage the household?"

Wife? Does he have one now? If the old lady hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten that he had a wife who ran away from home and disappeared.

There have been a lot of things going on at home recently. After Yu Min left home, he never came back. No one in the Qian family planned to go out and look for him, or report him as a missing person.

To the people in the old Qian family, it seemed as if Yu Mincun’s existence had no impact.

When asked about his "wife", Qian Jincai was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered and said, "Don't mention my wife. She is greedy and lazy, and she has not learned her lesson. She even abandoned our daughter and son and ran away with someone else. Now the family depends on me!"

Aunt Zhang and another old lady immediately chimed in, "Oh, you're really capable, raising two children on your own and still saving money. It's not easy!"

It was the first time that Qian Jincai heard someone praise him for being "capable". He became so vain that he kept bragging more and more.

After Qian Niandi and her two younger brothers returned to the ward from downstairs, Qian Jincai, in order to show that he was both a competent and wealthy father, beckoned Qian Niandi and her two siblings to come over to him with a smile. He then pulled out thirty yuan from his pocket and said, "Here, Niandi, take this money. I'll take your brother to buy some delicious food later!"

Qian Niandi didn't understand what Qian Jincai was doing and didn't dare to take the three notes. Qian Jincai saw Qian Niandi standing still and smiled at the old ladies chatting with him and said, "The children of our Qian family have strict family education and don't dare to ask for things or money easily!"

Then, he loosened up a few more bills and scolded Qian Niandi, "Girl, are you afraid that the money will bite your hand? Just take it when Daddy gives it to you, don't be so hesitant!"

Before Qian Niandi could reach out her hand, Sun Xiaohao took it very readily and said crisply, "Thank you, Daddy!" Humph, if it's free money, you should take it. Even if it's not free, you have to take it.

Aunt Zhang knew the situation pretty well, so she didn't stay any longer. She said goodbye and went back to the next ward.

Aunt Zhang told Wu Xing and Zhao Hongjun all the information she had obtained. They heard that after someone else from the Qian family came to look after Qian Jincai, the children would leave Mafang City and go to their grandmother's home in Jiangyuan City.

Afterwards, Wu Xing called Sun Aimin again and told him the details that the hospital had learned.
