“I told you I don’t have that much money, and neither does my daughter. You can see where I live. If they gave me money, I wouldn’t be living here,” said Mrs. Zhang.
Zhu Daniu sneered: "I said whether you have money or not is your problem. We need to see the money tomorrow."
"You're forcing me to call the police!" Mrs. Zhang felt that their claim of not being afraid of calling the police was just bluffing, so when she saw that they wouldn't budge, she still thought of calling the police.
Xu Daye had been threatened by Xi Quan before, preventing them from coming to Nancheng. There was nothing they could do, as they couldn't afford to offend Xi Quan. However, now Zhang Sao was also trying to threaten them, which made Xu Daye extremely angry. He rushed to Zhang Sao in one stride.
Fortunately, Zhu Danu stopped him; otherwise, Zhang Sao might have been beaten up!
Zhu Daniu grabbed her husband tightly and said angrily to Zhang Sao, "I told you before, if you want to call the police, go ahead, we're not afraid. And if you insist on calling the police, that's fine, but if the police mediate, you might still have to pay them money. Why bother?"
"How could this be..." Aunt Zhang couldn't quite believe it.
Xu Daye sneered: "Don't you know why? Since we've come to you, it means we've found out why we're different from Yang Xiujuan. Your other daughter, Huang Fei, is a celebrity, and what she did was extortion. What about you? What kind of celebrity are you? A nanny, what's so famous about you? Besides, Ye Qing called me 'uncle.' Ever since my sister died, I've been supporting Ye Qing. Now I'm asking you for money, but it's just for child support for your new daughter. Do you understand? And you've raised your own daughter all these years, 100,000 yuan isn't much, is it?"
Aunt Zhang was instantly deflated by what Xu Daye said; she had never really thought about these things before.
"Looks like you understood, right?" Zhu Daniu and Xu Daye, the couple, took turns saying to Zhang Sao, "Since you understood, then we need to see the money tomorrow."
After saying that, Zhu Daniu winked at her husband, who was still holding her back, signaling that she was leaving.
After the two left Zhang Sao's place, Xu Daye couldn't help but mutter, "What if Ye Qing finds out about this?"
"Ye Qing?" Zhu Daniu sneered: "You know how ruthless Ye Qing is. Do you think Ye Qing would acknowledge Zhang Sao? You know what happened with Ye Shuwei back then. You're just worrying for nothing."
“That’s different. Back then, we all thought Ye Shuwei was Ye Qing’s biological father, but now it seems that’s not the case. Maybe Ye Qing knew back then.” Xu Daye still had some doubts.
Actually, he was more afraid of Xi Quan. Last time he came to see Xi Quan, he seemed a little unwilling after being driven away by Xi Quan, but when it came to actually going against Xi Quan, he was a little afraid.
Zhu Daniu didn't have as many questions as Xu Daye. She said, "Zhang Sao even went to the reporters and said so much about Ye Qing. If I were Ye Qing, I wouldn't pay any attention to her. You know your niece too well, so Zhang Sao must be going to find her other daughter."
In fact, Aunt Zhang really did go to find Huang Fei.
Just as Zhu Daniu thought, she didn't dare to go to Ye Qing. Besides feeling guilty for saying so much in front of the reporters, the more important reason was that Zhang Sao thought Huang Fei should be easier to talk to than Ye Qing.
Although Huang Fei had no intention of acknowledging her.
The truth is, Mrs. Zhang doesn't understand her child at all.
Huang Fei couldn't help but sneer when he heard Zhang Sao's words: "You want money? You're asking me? Did I call the police and have Yang Xiujuan arrested? How can you think my money is so easy to take? I do have money, but it's money I earned through hard work filming. I wear winter clothes in the summer and summer clothes in the winter, and I can't even blink while jumping into the river or getting soaked in the rain."
Aunt Zhang felt very embarrassed by Huang Fei's words.
"Call the police. People who ask for money are a bottomless pit," Huang Fei said after a long silence.
Mrs. Zhang quickly waved her hand: "We can't call the police, we can't call the police."
Huang Fei looked at Aunt Zhang with amusement, but to be honest, she didn't understand why.
“They are Ye Qing’s uncles, the brothers of Ye Qing’s adoptive mother. Ye Qing’s adoptive mother died early, and she was raised by her uncle and aunt, so calling the police won’t do any good.” Under Huang Fei’s sharp gaze, Aunt Zhang said the truth.
Thinking about Ye Qing's background in the news, Huang Fei remained silent for a moment, then picked up the phone and called Xi Quan.
"Don't call the police." Aunt Zhang quickly grabbed Huang Fei when she saw her about to make a call.
“I called Xi Quan and asked him to handle it,” Huang Fei said.
Thinking about Xi Quan's attitude, Aunt Zhang was still a little scared. She felt that if Xi Quan found out, she probably would never recognize Ye Qing again.
Although Huang Fei didn't know what Zhang Sao was thinking, he could tell from her appearance that she didn't want him to make the call. Huang Fei asked, "Then what's your solution? Besides giving money, you should know that giving money is a bottomless pit."
“I…” Aunt Zhang was stunned.
Of course she knew it was a bottomless pit, and that her daughter would have to plug it. So Zhang Sao had no choice but to slowly let go of Huang Fei's hand.
When Xi Quan received Huang Fei's call, he was on his way home. After hearing what Huang Fei said on the phone, Xi Quan was silent for a moment before saying, "Come over, I'm still in the office."
After hanging up with Huang Fei, Xi Quan called Ye Qing back, saying that something came up but he had already ordered food from a private restaurant, which they would deliver shortly.
Ye Qing didn't think of anything else.
Huang Fei quickly brought Zhang Sao to Xi Quan's office.
Xi Quan's office was very impressive. Standing in the office, one could overlook the entire CBD of the southern city. At this time, it was definitely a very impressive thing. When Zhang Sao first came here and saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a bit like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden.
But Xi Quan's sharp words brought Zhang Sao back to her senses: "Right? What did Xu Daye and the others tell you?"
Aunt Zhang then recounted Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu's words to Xi Quan.
After listening, Xi Quan chuckled. "You really did your homework on Xu Daye and Zhu Daniu," he said. "I know. I'll go find them tomorrow. But I'm just curious, Xu Daye used to be a local hoodlum. How did you end up giving Ye Qing to their family?"
Xi Quan was expressing his feelings with these words, but Zhang Sao felt extremely distressed upon hearing them.
“I never expected his sister to leave us so soon. I just thought she was a good person. When Ye Qing was in the hospital, she was very ill and I had no money. It was Xu Daye’s sister who ran around helping me.”
"Doesn't his sister have a child?" Xi Quan asked.
"She's dead. Because the child is gone, that's why she looked at Ye Qing like that... I was just thinking..."
Xi Quan didn't want to hear Zhang Sao's confession. He felt indignant for Ye Qing: "When Ye Qing was taken back, didn't anyone notice that the two children were different?"
