"Stay for three more days?"

Aunt Jiang's old face suddenly fell. Although she usually looked like a person with her own ideas, she was actually a bully at heart. She was already feeling uneasy in the detention center with Jiang Chao and Zhang Tieying, and she was even more scared to be left alone.

"Comrade police officer, could you please be kind? I'm old and have old injuries on my body. I'm afraid I can't stay here." Aunt Jiang wanted to play the victim, and the policeman immediately frowned.

Jiang Chao was afraid that she would implicate him again, so he quickly advised, "Aunt, it's only been three days, just bear with it and it will pass. If you cause trouble again, they might have to lock you up for longer, then wouldn't that be a loss?"

"Too."

Aunt Jiang saw the police's official look and quickly took back her words, "Okay, I'll stay. I'll stay right now and I promise to behave myself and not cause any trouble for the police."

"Okay, then you should hurry up and repay your debts. Also, I want to remind you that if you don't repay in full, we will intervene again."

Jiang Chao and Zhang Tieying were shocked by this, but they didn't know how much the debt was at the moment, so they nodded in agreement quickly.

When the two returned home, they were stunned when they saw the huge crowds.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as Zhang Tieying opened her mouth, a crowd immediately rushed towards her. The dark mass almost scared her so much that she turned around and ran away.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you have something to say, can you please just say it nicely? Stop making noise!"

Jiang Chao was so annoyed that he took off his coat, which he had been wearing for who knows how many days, and leaned against the stone pillar in the yard. Someone immediately responded, "Okay, let's talk it over. These are the things you have damaged and stolen from my house over the years. The police have registered them all and asked you to pay compensation according to the price. How do you want to pay?"

"Virtue, this little money is not worth your fuss, let me see how much I can get."

Jiang Chao took the bill impatiently and was about to say that it was just a small matter when the bills for other people fell like snowflakes.

"And mine!"

"My, my!"

"Jiang Chao, this is mine!"

"What's going on? How could there be so many?" Zhang Tieying and Jiang Chao were dumbfounded. They had completely forgotten how they had been living on stealing and taking advantage of others all these years. After so many years, wouldn't there be so many?

By the time they had finished tallying up the bills at night, the two were completely devastated.

"God damn it! Why would I marry someone like you? The good life didn't last for two days, but I'm in debt!"

Zhang Tieying was so angry that she jumped up and down. She couldn't pay back the money even if she didn't eat or drink.

"You still have the nerve to criticize me? Aren't most of this your fault?" Jiang Chao pointed at a piece of paper next to him. He didn't expect Zhang Tieying to have done so many bad things. It was even more impossible for him to put all the blame on him now.

The two started arguing again about who was at fault. Feng Chuchu hid outside the door and watched but refused to come in.

She was not stupid. They were both in a bad mood at the moment, and if she went in, she would be scolded.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard Uncle Jiang's voice from behind, "Chu Chu, are your parents home?"

"...Yes." Feng Chuchu bit her lip in annoyance. The next second, she heard Zhang Tieying's scolding from the inner room, "You little bitch, you came back and didn't even come in. What's wrong? Don't you plan to recognize your mother?"

"No, I just want to cook first so that you won't go hungry." Feng Chuchu had no choice but to push the door open and walk in.

Zhang Tieying raised his eyebrows and asked impatiently, "Who were you talking to just now?"

"It's Uncle Jiang. He asked if you were there."

Uncle Jiang came in, his dark old face showing a trace of worry. "Chao'er, where's your aunt? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Zhang Tieying rolled his eyes in disdain. He came to see that old guy again, thinking that something good would happen.

etc....

Zhang Tieying suddenly thought of something and spoke before Jiang Chao could, "Uncle, you are here. We were just about to go look for you."

She took a step forward and helped Uncle Jiang sit down in the first seat. Jiang Chao looked at her with a puzzled look on his face and gently pulled her sleeve, "What are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it." Zhang Tieying glared at him, then turned to Uncle Jiang and said, "Uncle, this incident with my aunt is a bit serious. The police are still holding on to the 200 yuan issue and won't let her go."

"Ah? What should I do?" Uncle Jiang panicked. He had never been to the Public Security Bureau in his life and didn't know the rules there.

Zhang Tieying could just use this as an excuse to fool people. "Uncle, don't worry. Jiang Chao and I tried to find out when we came out. According to the police station, this matter can be settled with money."

Jiang Chao's eyes widened, but he quickly realized what Zhang Tieying was trying to do. After hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to play dumb and stood aside without saying anything.

Uncle Jiang couldn't help but frown when he heard that they wanted more money. "This... your aunt was arrested because she gave money. Why is she asking for money again? Did you make a mistake?"

"No, uncle, think about it, if my aunt took 200 yuan and went straight to the police station, who would dare to accept it? Such shameful things have to be done secretly. If everyone was as open and aboveboard as my aunt, wouldn't the police station be in chaos long ago?"

Uncle Jiang thought it made sense and asked hesitantly, "How much more will it cost?"

Zhang Tieying thought about the bills she and Jiang Chao owed, which added up to more than a thousand yuan. But if she asked Uncle Jiang to come up with that much money, she was afraid he wouldn't be able to come up with it.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Tieying reported a compromise number, "Four hundred. That person said that with only four hundred, he can ask the higher-ups for instructions, and my aunt will be back in a few days."

"Why do you need so much?"

Uncle Jiang's brows were furrowed. Not only was the amount of money too much, he was also somewhat skeptical of Zhang Tieying's words.

Seeing this, Zhang Tieying secretly pinched Jiang Chao and said, "Husband, please tell me something. Didn't others say that this matter can be settled for 400 yuan?"

"....Yes." Jiang Chao met Uncle Jiang's cloudy and old eyes, gritted his teeth and steeled his mind, and continued, "Uncle, now is not the time to feel sorry for the money. Think about how old my aunt is. Is that a place for her to stay? If she is locked up in there for too long, she might get sick. Even if she is released by chance, she might have sequelae or something."

Uncle Jiang didn't say anything, but the worry on his face was obviously more intense.

Seeing this, Zhang Tieying added fuel to the fire, "Uncle, what else do you want? If you don't listen to me now, you might end up paying more than four hundred! It could even be six hundred or eight hundred!"

"so much?"
