The Shen family's father and son returned home and sat on the kang without saying a word, which made Wang Huilian very anxious.
She leaned over to Shen Chunshu and whispered to him, "How is Hongmei? Did Zhao Changgui make things difficult for her?"
Shen Chunshu recalled the scene where Zhao Changgui slapped Shen Hongmei in front of him, and he always felt that the slap was like a "pa pa" slap on his own face.
He raised his head and looked at Wang Huilian resentfully, lowering his voice: "She is a good girl you raised, but she has brought shame to our Shen family."
At this time, Shen Chunshu wished he had never given birth to Shen Hongmei, this evil creature.
Old Mrs. Wang moved to the side of Old Man Shen, pulled his clothes with her hand, opened her mouth and wanted to ask the old man when his third son would come back.
Old Man Shen pulled the clothes back from Old Lady Wang and scolded her, "I'm already annoyed enough, can you please stop making things worse?"
Li Xiaoqin had been anxiously waiting for a reply from the three of them, but it looked like she was afraid that she had not reached an agreement with Zhao Changgui.
Since it concerns her man, she can't just hide behind others and watch the fun.
Li Xiaoqin asked Old Man Shen cautiously, "Dad, what did Zhao Changgui say? What will it take for him to agree to release the person?"
Old man Shen took a look at the third son's wife, and suddenly remembered that when the third son got married, he also gave the Li family several dollars as a dowry!
The money the Shen family has now is definitely not enough, so it depends on who to borrow from.
"Third brother's wife, your elder and second brothers and I are really risking our reputation this time, but we have only negotiated the price down to 12 yuan, and we won't go any lower."
After saying this, Old Man Shen's face was full of worry.
"12 yuan?" Li Xiaoqi muttered the number blankly.
This is indeed a lot less than the original 20 yuan, but it is not a small amount of money.
Li Xiaoqin choked up and said, "Dad, you have to think of a solution. Qiu Shu was imprisoned because of the matter of my eldest brother's family. You can't just ignore him, right?"
Old Man Shen quickly comforted her: "I care, how could I not care? He is my son, you don't need me to tell you, I won't let him go to jail, but...where does the money come from?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoqin immediately turned to Shen Chunshu and Wang Huilian, with a fierce look in her eyes: "Brother, find a way. No matter whether you two go to borrow or ask for it, you have to rescue Qiushu."
Old Man Shen also said to the eldest brother and his wife, "Take out Hongmei's betrothal money, let's collect it from the family, and see how much is left."
When it comes to taking the money, Wang Huilian is a little reluctant: "That money...that money is for Dawei to marry a wife. If it is taken out now, what will Dawei do?"
Li Xiaoqin collapsed: "You are still only thinking about your son? Is he going to get married now? Will he die if he waits a year or two to get married?"
She was very angry at the attitude of the eldest couple, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
Wang Huilian was a little angry after being scolded by Li Xiaoqin, so she simply turned away, neither refutating nor taking the money actively.
Old man Shen was also a little angry when he saw this. He pointed at the indifferent Shen Chunshu and cursed: "You old couple don't want to pay, right? Then let Chunshu replace Qiushu."
"Anyway, Zhao Changgui said that it's okay for the boss to go to jail, and it only costs 5 yuan. I accept the 5 yuan, and I don't need your help."
"father?"
"no!!!"
Shen Chunshu and Wang Huilian spoke at the same time.
Wang Huilian: "No, the child's father cannot go to jail. If he goes to jail, how can Dawei and Dali get married?"
Shen Chunshu: "Dad, I am the eldest son of our family. If I go to jail, how will you let me live my life in the future?"
Unexpectedly, Old Man Shen was not moved at all: "Anyway, you already have a son and a daughter, and the mission of carrying on the family line has been completed. You can just think of it as earning money by staying in jail for a few years."
"But the third son doesn't even have a descendant yet, I can't let him lose his family line."
"Either you two pool your money together to redeem the third child, or you go in and pay the money yourself. It's up to you!"
Li Xiaoqin didn't expect that Zhao Changgui would give her another option, which was to let Shen Chunshu go to jail so that he wouldn't have to pay so much money. Her eyes lit up at that moment.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I think it's most cost-effective for my brother to go in. This way, the family won't have to borrow money from foreign countries, and he'll have food and drink in prison. How great is that?"
Wang Huilian was so angry that she pointed at Li Xiaoqin's nose and started to curse: "Is that human language? There's plenty of food and drink, so why don't you let your man stay inside and enjoy himself?"
Li Xiaoqin was not to be outdone: "Why did Qiu Shu go in? Don't you have any idea? Besides, didn't Dad also say that you have a son and a daughter? We haven't even seen the shadow of a child yet?"
Speaking of children, this is Wang Huilian's biggest reliance in the Shen family. She glanced at Li Xiaoqin's belly with disdain and muttered softly: "You've been married for so long, and you can't get pregnant yourself, and you blame others?"
"You..." Li Xiaoqin was so angry that she couldn't say anything.
Wang Huilian suddenly waved her hands in annoyance: "Hey, what's the point of us arguing here? Why don't we let the second brother go in? The second brother's wife can't have children anyway, so wouldn't this kill two birds with one stone?"
Wang Huilian spoke very naturally, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
Li Xiang, who was standing aside like a transparent person, panicked and shook her hands so hard that they almost disappeared: "No... No..."
Wang Huilian looked at her and said, "What's wrong with that? You two are the only ones in our family who can't do anything. You can't even have a baby. Now that I need you, why can't you do this or that?"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Xiashu, who had been silent all this time, spoke in a muffled voice: "Zhao Changgui only wants my eldest brother to go to jail, but I can't go."
Wang Huilian: ......
This one sentence made Wang Huilian completely exhausted.
She secretly hated her son-in-law Zhao Changgui. He ignored the second son, who was completely unrelated to her and was so stupid, and actually let his own father-in-law go to jail. Was he mentally ill?
Until now, Wang Huilian still hasn't figured out the situation. Zhao Changgui has always wanted to cause trouble for Shen Chunshu and his wife.
The reason why Shen Qiushu was allowed to go in at the beginning, instead of directly detaining Shen Chunshu, was purely because he wanted to see the Shen family fighting among themselves.
Isn't the current situation exactly what Zhao Changgui expected?
Old man Shen said with a gloomy face: "Boss, there are only three days left, and one day must be left to deliver the money. Hurry up and collect the money, and stop talking nonsense!"
Last time he wanted to get the money out, he failed. This time he had to get the money out no matter what.
Wang Huilian looked at Chen Chunshu with some embarrassment. She felt that the money was not even warm yet, so why did he have to take it out now?
