Chapter 177 If you tell the truth, all the money will be yours
"Tan Mingshan... hurry back home. I think you've had enough of your good life and are now going to all sorts of wolves and dogs..."
Tan Mingshan was so shocked by the roar that his body shuddered.
He stood up and walked out: "I'm coming..."
Tan Chen had just heard the key point, so he was naturally unwilling to give up. Seeing Tan Mingshan leave, he followed him out.
Zou Meihua rolled her eyes at him and said, "We've already severed ties, why are you still looking for my family?"
Tan Mingshan had already drunk too much today. He stood up a little too hastily, and was frightened by Zou Meihua. He staggered and fell in front of the door of Tan Chen's house.
Zou Meihua did not help him up immediately, but glared at Tan Chen.
"Tan Chen, Tan Mingshan fell down after drinking at your house. You must give me an explanation."
Tan Chen didn't even look at her, and walked forward to help Tan Mingshan up.
Tan Mingshan was still somewhat conscious at this moment, and he remembered what he had just said to Tan Chen. He patted the back of Tan Chen's hand and said, "I'll tell you about this later."
When Zou Meihua heard him say this, she instantly had a bad feeling.
"Tan Mingshan, what were you talking about just now?"
"Did you say something you shouldn't have said?"
Tan Mingshan was obviously a little guilty when questioned like this: "Hehe...what can I say? I'll just talk about the children's childhood."
Zou Meihua grabbed his collar and said, "Tan Mingshan, tell me clearly today, have you told me his life story?"
When Tan Chen saw Zou Meihua coming to make trouble, he knew that he would not be able to get anything out of her today. Unexpectedly, she brought up the matter again herself.
"In that case, why don't you tell me about my life story."
Zou Meihua said without thinking: "You want me to tell you? No way..." She didn't care whether Tan Chen knew her life experience or not. She just said this to make things difficult for him...
Shang Ruoting also heard the noise outside, so she asked Old Lady Shang and others to stay in the house and continue eating, while she pushed the door open and walked out.
As soon as she came out, she heard Zou Meihua mention Tan Chen's life experience.
If her guess was correct, Zou Meihua was a greedy person. As long as there was money, she would tell him what she wanted.
So, just when several people were deadlocked at the gate, Shang Ruoting took out the Great Unity from the space and waved it in front of Zou Meihua.
"If you tell the truth, all the money will be yours."
"Ruoting..." Tan Chen's first reaction was to stop her from giving money to Zou Meihua. He didn't want to give the money his wife had worked so hard to earn to such a person.
Shang Ruoting turned her head to look at Tan Chen, winked at him, and told him to be patient. Tan Chen understood and did not try to stop her.
As expected, when Zou Meihua saw Da Tuanjie, she felt like she saw her own father. She reached out to take it, but Shang Ruoting dodged.
"Tell us what we want to know, and we'll give you the money."
Seeing this, Zou Meihua also started to make fun of him: "Humph... How can you ask me to tell you what happened back then for just one dollar?"
Shang Ruoting wasn't surprised at her exorbitant asking price at all: "So how much do you want?"
Zou Meihua stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of her: "At least two hundred."
Tan Mingshan, who was standing by, was a little anxious: "Meihua..."
"Shut up, you have no right to speak here." Zou Meihua interrupted Tan Mingshan fiercely.
Shang Ruoting took out the Great Unity from the space again without hesitation and deliberately counted it twice in front of Zou Meihua.
"Two hundred yuan is no problem, as long as what you say satisfies us."
The greed in Zou Meihua's eyes was revealed without reservation.
"Okay, just ask whatever you want to know."
Seeing this, Tan Chen asked directly.
"Who are my biological parents?"
"I only know that your father's name is Tan Shaowen. He used to be a local leader. He made a mistake and faced a crisis, so he gave you to us to take care of."
Tan Chen continued to ask: "Then where is he being sent now?"
Zou Meihua shook her head. "I don't know about that. When we left, your father was under investigation. We don't know what happened afterwards."
Tan Chen: "Where did you go back then?"
Zou Meihua: "At that time, your family lived in a military compound in Beijing. When we left, they said the house had been confiscated."
Tan Chen: "What else do you know?"
This time, before Zou Meihua could answer, Tan Mingshan spoke first: "We were afraid that we would be implicated, so we took you and left. We really don't know what happened afterwards."
"Then why did you return to Sihe Village when I was almost one year old?" Tan Chen was a little puzzled.
Tan Mingshan sighed, "Well... we thought, with 200 yuan in hand, we wanted to find a place to make a living in Beijing, so we lived there temporarily for less than a year."
"It was all my fault back then. I believed the liar's words, saying he would make a fortune with me. But he ended up swindling all the money your biological father had given me. We had no choice but to take you back to Sihe Village."
