Seeing so much money, everyone fell silent.
Even Min Yuehua momentarily forgot about her son, but Su Qingwen was the first to speak, asking, "Xinyi, was this left over from Beiping?"
Everyone looked at Su Xinyi, waiting for her answer.
Su Xinyi pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
This silenced everyone again, and Min Yuehua muttered, "Making business so profitable?"
"Yes," Su Qingwen sighed, frowning. "They've earned several thousand yuan in just a few days. If only..."
He didn't dare say anything more.
If you can earn thousands in a few days, what about in a few months or years?
That would cost millions, wouldn't it?
Su Qingwen was startled when he thought of this number.
In an era when it was rare to find even a family with ten thousand yuan, the number of millions was truly astonishing.
At the very least, Su Qingwen has lived for over forty years and has never seen anyone with millions.
Even Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin exchanged a glance; the impact of this amount of money was simply too great.
When they were in Pingba Village, they only knew that Ye Beiping had made a lot of money, but they didn't know the specifics or have seen so much money. So, seeing several thousand yuan all at once was incredibly visually impactful.
Su Xinyi took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and got up to put the iron box away.
This time I can't lose it like last time.
"Xinyi, wait." Min Yuehua suddenly grabbed Su Xinyi's wrist, her eyes fixed on the metal box in her daughter's hand.
Her idea was very simple: since Ye Beiping wasn't around, she might as well use the money to smooth things over so that her son wouldn't be bullied in the police station.
Noticing Min Yuehua's gaze, Su Xinyi instantly tensed up, her hand involuntarily retracting as she broke free from Min Yuehua's grasp.
"Mom, this money is from Beiping."
Su Xinyi only said that because she was wary of Min Yuehua's gaze.
This also attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at Min Yuehua, puzzled as to why Su Xinyi had suddenly said such a thing.
Feeling a little embarrassed under the gaze of several people, Min Yuehua still expressed her thoughts for the sake of her son: "Even if it belongs to Ye Beiping, he's not here now. Before we find him, can't we spend some money to smooth things over and make sure Xiaoze doesn't suffer in the police station?"
As she spoke, Min Yuehua looked at Tao Qiuyan and continued pleadingly, "Mother-in-law, don't you agree? You are a mother too, you can't just watch your child suffer."
A few words left Tao Qiuyan unsure whether to nod or shake her head.
She had never seen so much money in her life. It was unbelievable that she would use her son's hard-earned money to bribe other people's sons.
But then she remembered that the person in front of her was Ye Beiping's mother-in-law, and Tao Qiuyan really didn't know how to refuse.
Su Xinyi was furious at her mother's words. Her face flushed red as she said, "Mom, how could you say that?"
"What's wrong with me?" Min Yuehua still didn't think she was wrong, and even thought she made a lot of sense.
This made Su Xinwan and Ye Xiaoxin frown, realizing that Min Yuehua was being shameless, but they couldn't say it.
Su Qingwen shouted, "Enough!"
The entire living room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the furious Su Qingwen.
He then looked at Min Yuehua and said, "Have you made enough of a scene? This is money that Beiping earned itself. Why should we make them use it to save your son?"
"Wasn't the trouble you caused last time enough? If you hadn't been supporting Su Ze all along, would this kind of joke have happened?"
Min Yuehua, who had been scolded, suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes and started to cry.
It's unclear whether she felt remorse for not stopping him back then, or for being blinded by self-interest, or if she felt wronged by her husband's scolding and believed that she hadn't done anything wrong in saving her son.
The scene left Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin extremely embarrassed.
Su Xinyi stomped her foot angrily, then took the metal box to her room. She didn't come out for a long time, her eyes red.
Without a doubt, she must have gone to hide the money.
But the room is only so big, where can he hide? Wouldn't someone who's really looking for him not be able to find him?
In fact, Su Xinyi also regretted it a little. She shouldn't have taken the money out in public, especially in front of her mother. But at the time, she didn't know that Ye Beiping had left behind money; she thought it was something important.
Waaaaah!
Seeing Min Yuehua crying and sobbing, everyone felt a pang of sadness.
Seeing Su Xinyi return to her seat in the living room, Su Qingwen said, "Let's wait until we get back from Beiping to discuss this matter. Besides, your mother-in-law is already willing to speak up and help. What else could you possibly be dissatisfied with?"
"Then..." Min Yuehua said breathlessly, "Isn't it because I was worried that Xiaoze would be bullied? I was worried that they would... Waaah!"
Thinking of countless possibilities, Min Yuehua also burst into tears.
Upon hearing this, Su Qingwen sighed heavily and gently patted Min Yuehua's back, saying, "That's his own fate. He has to accept the punishment for his mistakes. Isn't it enough that the whole family is worried about him?"
Upon hearing this, Min Yuehua instantly flew into a rage, shoving Su Qingwen's hand away and shouting, "Isn't that your son? Su Qingwen, how come I never knew you could be so heartless? If you won't save him, I'll go save him myself."
After saying that, she picked up her bag, covered her mouth, cried, and ran out the door.
Everyone witnessed this scene, yet no one stepped in to stop it.
In this situation, it was inappropriate for Tao Qiuyan and her daughter Ye Xiaoxin to interfere, and Su Xinyi was already heartbroken.
