"Oh my son, you can't go!" Cao Maizi cried.
“We can’t go,” Wei Tiezhu added.
Wei Mingshen nodded, "Of course we can't go. If we know it's a scam, why would we go and give away money? That would be stupid. But Shirley said that her father is the type to stick to his guns and won't listen to anyone once he's made up his mind. So I didn't say I wouldn't go. I just said I'd come back and discuss it with you."
"What should we do? What if he comes to our house and insists on taking you there?" The old couple were extremely worried.
"Dad, Mom, I've thought of a plan. When he comes, we'll just go along with whatever he says and agree to everything, but we'll just keep putting it off. We'll have something to do today or something to do tomorrow and we won't be able to get away. Then we'll just keep putting it off until the New Year is here."
Even scammers need a holiday during the Chinese New Year. I told them to go after the New Year, but who knows what will happen after then? Maybe he'll figure things out again.
Wei Tiezhu and Cao Maizi repeatedly agreed with their son, "Yes, yes, let's do it that way."
Having easily appeased his parents, Wei Mingshen went to his room feeling completely relaxed.
"Alright, we don't need to go to the provincial capital."
Upon hearing the reason, Su Xueli sneered, "We don't need to go to the provincial capital anymore, but when are we getting a divorce?"
Wei Mingshen was in a dilemma. Yes, how could he have forgotten the important matter?
He suddenly said, "How about this, let's find a doctor at a provincial hospital, give him some money, and have him issue me a fake medical record?"
Su Xueli chuckled, "If you have the ability, I'm willing to pay."
Wei Mingshen fell silent. Finding a doctor you don't know in the provincial capital, bribing him with money to issue a fake medical record—that's just a pipe dream.
Seeing that he was standing still, Su Xueli said bluntly, "Hurry up and help me with the work. Making money is the most important thing."
Wei Mingshen stomped his foot, "Yes, yes, making money is the most important thing!"
The two sat down next to each other by the brazier and started weaving straw together.
Wei Mingshen, while cutting thatch, asked her, "Are you sending it to the city again this time?"
Su Xueli said, "Send it to the county. We can't just abandon them after we've served our purpose. It was Manager Wang from the county department store who gave me hope and helped me earn my first money. I can't just stop supplying them like this, especially since he's Yan Yan's cousin."
Wei Mingshen agreed with her statement and asked, "What if he thinks it's too expensive? This set we made is a deluxe version compared to the one we gave him before."
Su Xueli shrugged. "Then it's no wonder we won't supply him anymore; he can't afford it."
"You're such a good woman, you really know how to handle things," Wei Mingshen praised her sincerely.
"Brother Wei!" someone called from outside.
Wei Mingshen muttered to himself, "Little Luo is here."
"Who is Xiao Luo?" Su Xueli asked casually.
Wei Mingshen said, "It's that comrade-in-arms I told you about who smuggled things from the south."
Su Xueli put down what she was doing and said, "Let them in quickly."
After saying that, he moved the straw and the woven figurines that were scattered all over the ground to the corner of the room and covered them with a cloth so that people could sit by the fire pit and warm their hands.
"Xiao Luo, come inside!" Wei Mingshen also put down what he was doing.
