"Let's chat for a while and talk things out. We've become friends through a fight."

The more Ruan Xianxian listened, the more suspicious she became!

Without making a sound, she used the act of collecting money to touch each and every one of the ten-yuan bills.

Seeing her accept the money, Hu Bin remained outwardly calm but inwardly felt somewhat relieved.

Suddenly, Ruan Xianxian got up and looked around for something. "Uncle, I'll write two receipts. You can sign them, and it will be clear when we settle the accounts."

Hu Bin froze completely, his smile extremely forced. "No, it's not necessary."

Seeing the other person's expression change, Ruan Xianxian smiled.

Although it was dark and she couldn't see very clearly, she was certain that the old man had tampered with the money.

Let her guess...

He marked the money, and the next morning Hu Bin would report it to the police as lost money. With a little guidance, and with the villagers who had publicly demanded repayment as witnesses, he would be able to get the money back.

If the police find the missing Hu family coin-sized metal ring on her, she'll probably be unable to explain herself no matter how hard she tries.

What a brilliant move—fighting fire with fire!

This time, I couldn't help but pat Hu Bin on the shoulder. "Bro, the tricks you use are all the old tricks that I've already mastered."

She ran to the neighbor's house next door and knocked on the door. A young woman who looked about 14 or 15 years old opened the door. She wasn't particularly pretty, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Sister, is something the matter?"

Disturbed in the middle of the night, Ruan Xianxian spent two cents to borrow a pen and paper, quickly wrote a note, and didn't forget to explain.

"Uncle Hu paid me back 50 yuan on behalf of his son-in-law and wrote a receipt to prove that we are not the kind of people who are bad debtors."

The little girl peeked towards the Hu family's house. Her vision was not very clear, but she could vaguely sense that the old village chief was not very happy.

The document was delivered to him for signature. Hu Bin, whose money had already gone into someone else's pocket, had no choice but to sign it.

What does it mean to lose both your wife and your army? He was so angry his heart ached!

Holding five ten-yuan bills between her fingers, Ruan Xianxian kissed them from afar, then turned back with a sweet smile after walking a short distance away.

"Uncle Hu, you're such a good father-in-law! I'll come again tomorrow!"
