Zhou's mother was also filled with righteous indignation. "Didn't you ask Tian Cheng to drug him? This time, without a high price, there will be no antidote. And you also need an explanation from the Kong family."

Zhou Xiang nodded, "Yes, the Kong family must give me an explanation. Is this their attitude towards reconciliation?"

"It's a good thing you didn't agree to settle. That would have been too despicable."

"Didn't you also tell me that it's better to resolve an antagonism than to create one?"

"How could I have known that the Kong family had so many idiots? Even if the Kong family head advocated reconciliation, it would take time for the message to reach the lower levels. Who knows how many of these idiots would emerge!"

"That depends on how much money they have. Don't they like to raise funds? I'll also raise funds from the Kong family and see how much I can get back."

There was a noise outside, so the mother and daughter ended the topic. Xiao Yuanyuan saw Tian Cheng returning to the front yard, so she strolled home.

"Auntie, have I lost weight?"

Zhou Xiang pretended to look at her a few times and said, "Well, you've lost some weight. You should go out for a walk every day in the future."

Yuanyuan nodded her head, "Okay."

In the afternoon, Tian Cheng sent a text message saying that the matter had been settled and the person had been sent on the train.

Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing. Tian Cheng was quite interesting. He sent people on the train. Was he expecting them to come and buy the antidote as soon as possible?

As the sun was setting, Ling Ran came back and took down a large cardboard box from the car, saying that it was clothes custom-made for him by Senior Jiang.

"Wife, Senior Jiang always steals my work. I should be the one buying these clothes."

Zhou Xiang was holding a skirt and trying it on herself. The cardboard box was full of maternity skirts and maternity pants sets.

"It's because you love to argue about these things that he deliberately angered you. He bought it, so why don't you just accept it happily? You can save money! Oh, and hand over the money you got back."

The two of them closed the door and fiddled with bundles of coins. They left more than 10 million for Ling Ran to pay off the debt owed to Guanjia Village, and swept the rest into the space study.

Thinking of that target surnamed Shen, Zhou Xiang sighed. She was so poor! Others made hundreds of millions in a few months, but she had toiled for more than ten years for only tens of millions.

Hearing his wife sigh, Ling Ran asked, "What's wrong? Do you think the money is too much or too little?"

“Is there anyone who thinks money is too much?”

"No, then you suddenly sighed because you think the money is not enough?"

"Yes! Compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars invested by investors, the little money I earned is nothing. They only spent a few months, but it took me more than ten years. This investor is related to the Kong family..."

Ling Ran was also dumbfounded. Did the Kong family have such a collateral branch? A collateral branch marrying out and even using medicinal powder? Had Xiao Shen's previous life been successful? Did the medicinal powder work?

Zhou Xiang listened to Ling Ran's speculation and thought it was possible, especially since the news of investors absconding with the money came out after the fundraising. No matter how he listened to it, he felt that the people in charge of this matter were stupid.

"No matter what, this account must be settled with the Kong family. I asked Tian Cheng to give him stroke powder, and I'm just waiting for them to buy the antidote."

"How far has Xiao Shen progressed with the county government? Do the county government officials have any evidence?"

"How could that be possible? If there's evidence, it's already ironclad. If the Kong family insists that Shen is here to invest, I won't admit to drugging him. Anyway, I wasn't the one who had the stroke."

Ling Ran looked at her worriedly, "Is it true that the powder didn't fly onto you at all?"

"No, unless I'm careless, I have so many things I can use. How could I be knocked down by an ordinary person?"

"Next time, when there are outsiders around, it's better to use less space. I don't know if the Kong family can see the medium of your teleportation."

"I know. Isn't this because I'm worried about the baby in my belly? If I wasn't pregnant, I would just use my own strength to avoid it, or take the antidote at worst."

Ling Ran placed his large palm on her belly, "When will the baby start to move?"

"You can only feel it when you're about five months old."

The couple was chatting upstairs when they heard the mother-in-law's voice downstairs, "Think about it, is Ling Ran back?"

Ling Ran took his wife's hand and went downstairs. "Your mother-in-law! She's like a detective. How long have I been home? She already knows."

Zhou wanted to roll his eyes at him. "How many cars are there in this town? Isn't it because there are too many talkative people?"

As soon as the two of them came downstairs, Dong Yunrong winked at An Wen. After An Wen pulled Zhou Xiang away, she grabbed her son's ear and said, "You prodigal son, your godfather has already agreed, and you just opened your mouth and asked for interest, several thousand yuan, and you just spent it away like that."

Now that the money has been taken back, you still haven't exchanged the IOUs. Are you planning to pay one more day's interest? Hurry up and exchange all the IOUs tonight."

"Yes, yes, I'll go right away, Mom, please let go, it hurts."

Dong Yunrong released her hand and said to Zhou's mother embarrassedly, "This child will tear down the roof if he's not punished for three days. We can't earn back several thousand yuan in two years, but this child gave it away as soon as he opened his mouth. You can't say anything to him, I'll teach him a lesson."

Zhou's mother waved her hands. "Is it just because of this? We don't care. The money is theirs together. We don't care how they use it.

Besides, Ling Ran is busy all day long, so he still has some say. There's no need to interfere. The child is grown up, so you better not get involved. He's about to become a father."

Ling Ran covered his ears and said, "That's right, Mom still cares about me."

Dong Yunrong was actually defending her son. After she knew what her son had done, she was worried that the Zhou family would have objections. Now that she saw her in-laws protecting her son, she felt relieved. "Okay, if you protect him, I won't say anything about him anymore. Ling Ran, hurry to Guanjia Village to exchange the IOU."

Seeing Ling Ran looking over, Zhou Xiang smiled and said, "Hurry up and go! It's just over 500 yuan a day! It can feed you with delicious food for several days."

"That's right, go quickly." Dong Yunrong chimed in.

Ling Ran had no choice but to go upstairs, carry a tattered backpack, and drive to Guanjia Village, taking his mother with him. "Mom, you should go home and cook."

Dong Yunrong took a passing car and left.

Zhou's mother sighed that her mother-in-law was a good person. It seemed that she came to teach her son a lesson, but in fact she was worried that there might be misunderstandings or grudges, so she came to make things clear. The little girl was lucky to have such a mother-in-law.

Zhou Xiang looked at the 'traitor' An Wen and asked, "You've been getting pretty close to my mother-in-law lately?"

An Wen chuckled, "We've gotten along well. Qing Niang has a straightforward personality, and since we both care about Guo Xuehua's affairs, we ended up getting along."

"What happened to Guo Xuehua?"

An Wen's smile disappeared. "It's too tragic. It's so hot, and the wound is showing signs of infection."

Zhou Xiang frowned. Forget it, I'll just help her! If I wait for Guo Xuehua to find a way out on her own, I guess this woman will make herself miserable and still not be able to find a way out.

"Has the news about Tian Cheng spread?"

"It's spread, and a small number of people are already talking about it."

"Speed ​​up the spread. Secretly ask Guo Xuehua what she really thinks. If she wants to take the two children and leave, report her husband to the police for domestic violence! Then let the Women's Federation intervene."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Seeing that Zhou Xiang was finally willing to help, An Wen rushed out of the Zhou family yard at an unusual speed.
