Peng Cuiying took out the money, and although her heart was bleeding with pain, she still counted out a thousand yuan and gave it to Jiang Yongxian. "Boss, buy some nice gifts and go talk to the leaders properly."
The third brother is still young and not even married yet. If he serves fewer years in prison and gets out sooner, he can start living a good life sooner…
Peng Cuiying kept talking, and a flash of dissatisfaction crossed Jiang Yongxian's eyes.
Third brother, third brother!
That third brother is a good-for-nothing. His life is completely ruined after going to jail. What's the point of him coming out?
Are you going to come out and hold him back?
But he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he frowned and looked anxious as he said, "Mom, don't worry. The third brother is my own brother. I can't just watch his life be ruined like this."
But we need to make arrangements, and this thousand yuan isn't enough... Mom, why don't you..."
He glanced at the money in Peng Cuiying's hand, a hint of greed in his eyes.
If Jiang Jiahua hadn't gotten into trouble, he wouldn't have even bothered with this little bit of money.
But now that Jiang Jiahua is in trouble, this family can no longer provide him with any help.
He'll need money for many more things in the future.
Although two thousand yuan is not much, every little bit helps.
"Mom, why don't you give me 1,800 yuan first, and I'll go and make some money for the third son?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that Peng Cuiying hesitated, so he quickly said, "Mom, don't worry, I know that all the money in the family was used to buy me a house, and now you only have this much money to rely on."
When we got to Beicheng, I told Niannian, "We'll pay for the money we're giving to Lao San, and we'll make up the difference to you."
Peng Cuiying's last lingering doubts were dispelled.
After taking out two hundred yuan for himself, he gave the rest of the money to Jiang Yongxian. "Okay, boss, take this and make sure the third brother is taken care of, then come back so we can return to the capital sooner."
After Jiang Yongxian received the money and turned around, the anxiety in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving only a cold expression.

After making arrangements with Song Lixiang, Jiang Qiaoqiao returned to the city first.
Song Lixiang needs to go back and settle in before she can bring the children over. She also needs to make some preparations, at least to arrange a place for Song Lixiang and the children to stay.
The four bedrooms upstairs at Yiren Clothing are now occupied by Zhou Yang and his sister, Luo Yingzi, leaving only one empty room.
At that time, Zhou Ling'er can only share a room with Song Xiaoxia or Chen Zhenzhen, while Song Lixiang can share a room with the other two children.
When Jiang Qiaoqiao discussed it with Zhou Ling'er, she specifically emphasized to Zhou Ling'er, "Ling'er, this time it was your older sister who made the decision on her own to let you share a room with other older sisters or younger sisters. If you don't want to, you can refuse your older sister, and your older sister won't be angry."
"Sister Qiaoqiao, do you mean that three older sisters and younger sisters will come to live with Ling'er?" Zhou Ling'er looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with her big, bright eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Qiaoqiao nodded. "Yes, there's also an auntie."
"Yay, that's great!" Zhou Ling'er jumped for joy. "Sister Qiao Qiao, I'm willing, I'm really willing! From now on, I'll have someone to do homework with, play shuttlecock with, and sleep with..."
Zhou Ling'er's little face lit up with excitement, "My brother is so busy now, he doesn't have time to play with me. Every day after I get home, besides doing my homework, I can only play with Xiao Guoqing and the others. But I don't like playing those boys' war games..."
Zhou Ling'er and Xiao Guoqing have now become quite familiar with the children on this street.
But now, whether in the city or the countryside, there are more boys than girls. There are five or six children on this street, but Zhou Ling'er is the only girl, which makes it difficult for her to find playmates.
After Zhou Ling'er finished speaking, she didn't wait for Jiang Qiaoqiao to say anything more. She excitedly turned around and ran upstairs quickly. "Sister Qiaoqiao, I'll go upstairs first to tidy up the room. When my sisters and the others arrive, we can move in right away."
As Jiang Qiaoqiao watched the little girl's figure disappear down the stairs, a relieved smile crept onto her lips.
Just then, a noisy commotion came from outside.
Jiang Qiaoqiao went out to check and saw a large crowd gathered outside Mei Xiaofang's shop.
"Pah! You heartless bastard! You previously slandered Yiren Clothing for selling secondhand clothes from the dead, but it turns out you're the one selling shoddy clothes yourself!"
"Speculation and profiteering deserves to be arrested!"
"If this had happened a few years earlier, someone like her would have been paraded through the streets and publicly criticized!"
"Hey, I was thinking of buying a coat from her store a couple of days ago, but luckily the woman next to me grabbed it quickly, and I didn't get it."
Otherwise, I'd be the one wearing the dead man's clothes right now! Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick!
"Let's buy our clothes from Yiren Clothing in the future. The prices are reasonable and the quality is guaranteed."
"I heard that the owner of Yiren Clothing is going to open her own garment factory. From now on, her clothes will be produced and sold directly by her, and the prices will be even more affordable..."
...
As they discussed it, the group walked toward Yiren Clothing.
Just as Jiang Qiaoqiao was about to return to her shop, she suddenly felt a malicious gaze.
She followed the gaze back and met Mei Xiaofang's malicious eyes.
Mei Xiaofang was being escorted by the police, but her lips were silently warning her, "I won't let you get away with this!"
Jiang Qiaoqiao watched as she was taken away by the police, and her shop was sealed off with a penalty notice.
He didn't take her threat seriously.
In her past life, she was able to build the Qin family's business into a large and powerful enterprise, defeating countless competitors along the way. If she were afraid of even a small threat from Mei Xiaofang, she wouldn't need to do business at all.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm so sorry! I... sigh, I've been doing business with Mei Xiaofang on this street for two years now, I really didn't expect her to..."
