Chapter 178 Anyway, this money is mine
Tan Chen was silent for a long time, and couldn't think of what to ask.
"In that case, I'll stop here today. If I remember anything later, I might come back to you."
Zou Meihua hasn't received the 200 yuan yet, so naturally she has to accept whatever Tan Chen says.
"Okay, no problem. If you want to ask later, we will tell you as long as we know it."
Seeing that Zou Meihua was staring at the money in her hand, Shang Ruoting gave her a wicked smile and gave her the money.
"I'll give you the money, but you have to keep your word."
Zou Meihua took the money and her face changed immediately: "Hmph! It depends on my mood when the time comes!" After that, she pulled Tan Mingshan away.
Watching the two walk away, Tan Chen took Shang Ruoting's hand and walked back: "Wife, there is no rush for this matter. I can slowly find a chance to ask. There is no need to give them so much money."
"Do you think I really gave them the money?" Shang Ruoting smiled like a little fox.
Tan Chen was confused: "Do you have any way to get the money back?"
Shang Ruoting kept it a secret: "Don't worry about this matter. I promise that the money won't last a single night in their house."
Tan Chen became more and more curious: "Are you planning to steal the money back?"
Shang Ruoting raised her chin high and looked at Tan Chen: "What's wrong with that? The money is mine anyway."
Tan Chen knew that his wife had some quirky thoughts and that she was a person with secrets, so he simply stopped dwelling on this topic.
"Okay, I can help then."
Shang Ruoting hadn't decided yet whether she needed his help: "Haha...we'll talk about it when the time comes."
At this time, Old Lady Shang, Liu Xiaocui, Yang Mei and others in the room also came out.
Everyone heard what Zou Meihua said just now. If it wasn't for Old Lady Shang stopping her, Liu Xiaocui would have wanted to say something bad about her. How could there be such a person in Sihe Village?
The child she raised from childhood, in her eyes, is only interested in profit, and she is still asking for too much to tell her about her life story.
"People like Tan Chen, Ruoting, and Zou Meihua shouldn't be tolerated. I heard everything that happened today. If there's anything I need to testify for in the future, I'll definitely do my best to help."
Shang Ruoting stepped forward with a smile: "Thank you very much, Sister Xiao Cui. I won't be polite to you if I need you."
Because of what just happened, Yang Mei and others didn't want to stay here any longer. They helped Shang Ruoting clean up the dishes and left with their younger brothers and sisters.
It gets dark later in the summer, so Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen waited until after 8 o'clock and only went out after it was completely dark. Their target was naturally the Tan family.
Tan Chen didn't know how Shang Ruoting was going to get the money back, he just followed her silently and did whatever she told him to do.
The two men tiptoed to the door of the Tan family, and after observing that there was no one around, they jumped over the fence and went in.
The lights in Zou Meihua and Tan Mingshan's rooms were off, only the light in Tan Kai's room was still on.
In fact, Shang Ruoting wanted to come here by herself. She had some aphrodisiac in her space that she had collected in her previous life. She could just knock someone out and then go into the house and get the money back. Now that Tan Chen was always following her, she had to think of a suitable excuse to conceal the source of the aphrodisiac.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Tan Chen asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"
Seeing that he was asking more questions, Shang Ruoting had no choice but to take out the incense and show it to him.
"This is a sleeping incense that can make people fall into a deep sleep."
Tan Chen took the incense and looked at it: "Where did you get this?"
"I saw it when I was helping grandma clean up. She said it was a drug incense, so I took some when she wasn't paying attention." She firmly believed that Tan Chen knew that the drug incense came from Old Lady Shang and would not ask, so she could get away with it this way.
Sure enough, Tan Chen had no doubts about this. He was familiar with Old Lady Shang's situation. Given her past background, it was not surprising that she would be hiding something like this.
"Do you want to use it now?"
Shang Ruoting nodded and pointed to Tan Kai's room: "Let Tan Kai sleep first, so that he won't find us."
As she spoke, she handed the matches she had prepared in advance to Tan Chen.
Tan Chen took the lit incense and came to Tan Kai's window. He poked a hole in the window paper and carefully sent the incense inside.
Over there, Shang Ruoting used the same method to send the aphrodisiac incense into Zou Meihua and Tan Mingshan's rooms.
After about ten minutes, the two hid in the dark and observed, looking at the shadows through the window paper. Tan Kai, who was originally sitting, had already lay down, and there was no movement in Tan Mingshan's room. For safety reasons, Tan Chen deliberately made some noise to verify. After seeing that no one in the house responded, the two entered the main house.
Sure enough, Tan Mingshan was sleeping like a dead dog and snoring non-stop.
Shang Ruoting tried to push Zou Meihua, but there was no response.
Tan Chen moved very quickly. He opened a large wooden box on the kang and reached in to pull out a bunch of small packages that looked like they were rolled up from underwear.
I opened the underwear layer by layer and found a lot of money inside.
One of the stacks placed separately contained the twenty Great Unity notes that Shang Ruoting had just given to Zou Meihua.
