This was the first time Chen Qing had seen her man with red eyes and a panicked look. They had been together for two years, and she really couldn't bear to see him like this.
He sighed and said, "We have to stop He Wan quickly. If she calls the police, things will get really complicated."
Upon hearing this, Liang Ermei ran over and stopped He Wan, who hadn't gone far.
What do you want to do?
"You, you can't leave."
"What, trying to kill me to silence me?"
Chen Qing walked over and said, "He Wan, let's talk."
Then, turning to Liang Ermei and Liang Shurui beside him, he said, "I'll talk to He Zhiqing."
Liang Shurui called out to Chen Qing with some concern, and Chen Qing replied, "There's always a solution."
When Liang Ermei saw that Chen Qing was going to help, she naturally agreed and quickly pulled her brother away.
After the two had walked away, Chen Qing looked down at He Wan and said, "He Wan, it's just money. You can ask for any amount, and I'll give you whatever you want. I only have one request: after you take the money, you can't tell anyone about this."
He Wan scoffed dismissively, "Pretty domineering, Chen Zhiqing. No wonder you're from the capital, a rich kid. I'd like to hear how much you're willing to give me."
"Five thousand. You know, five thousand yuan is enough to buy an apartment in Beijing."
"Tch, I thought you were so powerful. You think you can buy your man a stable life for a mere five thousand yuan? Your man is worthless."
"Ten thousand, that's all I have."
"Wow, ten thousand! Chen Qing, that's a lot of money. You didn't secretly sell the chickens and ducks yourself, did you?"
“How much does a chicken or duck cost? I’d have to sell so many to earn that back. You don’t need to know where you got the money from; I can give it to you on the spot. But you can’t tell anyone that Shurui picked up your money. Also, I’m giving you 10,000 yuan; just tell them it’s 5,000. We’ll have a written agreement as proof.”
"A written agreement? Sure, I'll write it."
"no problem."
Chen Qing took paper and pen from inside the house, and He Wan, fearing that she would be tricked by her, took the paper and pen and went outside.
She went out on her own, supposedly to get money, but actually she took it from her system.
Two copies were made, and the two pressed each other's fingerprints. Chen Qing gave her a bag of money and asked her to delete the recording inside.
"Deleting it is impossible. We didn't talk about recordings when we were talking. Besides, I'm keeping these in case you back out."
After Liang Shurui and Liang Ermei saw the five thousand yuan on the guarantee,
They were all outraged, especially Liang Ermei, who angrily tore up the agreement with the paper, saying, "Five thousand yuan, why don't you just rob me?"
He Wan looked at the shattered agreement in their hands and laughed twice.
Upon seeing this, Chen Qing turned ashen-faced and slapped Liang Ermei without hesitation.
"You...you dare to hit me."
"I'm going to hit you, you idiot."
"Brother, she hit me."
"Liang Shurui, get her out of here right now. From this moment on, I don't want to see her."
He Wan deleted the agreement in her hand, took the money, and left with a smile.
Chen Qing picked up the scraps of paper from the ground and said, "No, we need to sign a new one."
"I'm sorry, I won't take responsibility for your mistakes."
After finishing her sentence, He Wan left happily.
Chen Qing was left to pick up the torn pieces of paper and piece them back together. This was the leverage she had over the Liang family. You, Liang Ermei, you're something else.
Liang Shurui, who was standing to the side, naturally saw the amount on the agreement, and felt extremely distressed.
But I also felt relieved.
This matter had been weighing on his mind, and sometimes when he thought about it, he felt suffocated and couldn't live with himself.
But he never thought anyone would find out, because when he arrived at the educated youth settlement, after getting off the train and reaching the county town, he hurriedly wrote a letter and mailed the money home directly.
Everyone just thought it was to protect the family's safety, and no one would have thought it was this.
I was just too careless at the time; I couldn't bear to throw away the handkerchief that held the money, so I mailed it back along with the money.
Unexpectedly, my second sister exposed this matter as soon as she arrived.
