Chapter 37 The Eccentric Father-in-Law (1/2)



Qiao Wanyue said confidently, "Each bill has a capital 'Lu' on it, and the twenty 'Da Tuan Jie' bills have it in the lower left corner, in very small print, you can't see it at all if you don't look carefully." Qiao Wanyue gave Yang Lin a meaningful look.

He collapsed to the ground.

Lu Rong looked at Wan Yue in surprise.

Has Wanyue discovered her own habit?

The police nodded, saying that as long as there were signs, things would be easier. They went directly to the Yang family's house with another officer. Yang's mother tried to stop them from searching, but the police officer sternly said that if they didn't let them search, they would be sent to jail. Yang's mother turned pale with fright.

I dare not stop them anymore.

"It's all your fault, you jinx!" Yang's mother scolded Qiao Shanshan.

Qiao Shanshan frowned. "Mom, what are you talking about? It wasn't me who asked you to move it..."

Snap

Old Mrs. Yang slapped Qiao Shanshan across the face. "You jinx! It's all your fault for seducing Huaiyuan! If it weren't for you, how could Huaiyuan have married you? You're a jinx!"

Not only did you ruin Aijiao's work, but you also embarrassed Huaiyuan. I'll beat you to death!" Old Mrs. Yang wished she could kill Qiao Shanshan.

If Qiao Shanshan hadn't been without a dowry, would she have coveted Qiao Wanyue's dowry?

That little brat outmaneuvered me.

The police searched for a long time before finally emerging. He was holding a wad of ten-yuan notes. Looking at Old Mrs. Yang, he asked, "Old lady, has your second son ever given you any money?"

Grandma Yang's eyes darted around.

Lu Rong peeked out from over the wall and said, "No, we give her a hundred catties of grain every year. The old lady doesn't want money, saying that money is not as valuable as grain. She only wants flour." Lu Rong felt a burning hatred when she thought of the hardships she had endured.

She had three children, and the old lady asked for 100 jin of white flour to support her in her old age. But Yang Lin was unreliable. Even though the three children were not getting enough to eat, he insisted on giving them 100 jin of white flour every year.

After Yunzhou joined the army, she sent back her own allowance, and her family's life improved a little. But then the old lady tried to take her money again, and she and Yang Lin almost got divorced before the old lady finally calmed down.

The police officer pulled out some money. "Here are three hundred 'Taiwan' bills, all with the character 'Lu' written in capital letters. They shouldn't belong to your Yang family."

Wow

Old Mrs. Yang sat down on the ground and cried out in despair.

She lamented her bad luck and the early death of her eldest son.

Just scream as miserably as possible.

The police remained unmoved. They had seen plenty of elderly people like this who were persistent and clingy. They had plenty of patience to wait it out with her. As for the extra ten bills, someone would explain them later.

Lu Rong and Qiao Wanyue watched the old lady perform from the top of the wall.

Sister-in-law Lu covered her son's ears.

Brother Lu kept Yang Lin in check, telling him to behave himself at home.

The Yang family was shocked.

There's really money in the box...

Did the old lady embezzle it all by herself?

Old Mrs. Yang had a bitter pill to swallow. It was money given to her by her second son as a sign of filial piety, but she couldn't say it outright. Her second son's wife was very shrewish. If she said that her second son had stolen money from his wife, that old bastard Lu Rong would definitely divorce her.

She doesn't care that her second son is divorced, but he can't work anymore. If she takes him home and wants to find him a wife, she'll have to pay a dowry.

She was unwilling to pay that money.

She cried for a long time, but no one from the Yang family came to pull her away.

The old lady couldn't keep up the act anymore; she could only cry without shedding a tear. The police officers watched her wail with great interest. Although it was jarring, the old lady's voice and health were quite good; she looked like she could live to be a hundred.

"Grandma, are you no longer crying?" The police officer waited until the old woman stopped crying, then straightened the money in his hand. "I don't know where you took Qiao Wanyue's other belongings, but I'll return the money to its rightful owner for now."

If we can't find it, we'll compensate you at the original price, and we'll also send someone with us. Stealing someone else's property is punishable by five days of detention.
