The police looked at the scattered ghost money on the ground and didn't quite believe it. This family was just eating and waiting to die, and the whole family relied on their poor daughter-in-law to support them. Where did they get 300,000 yuan?
"Village Chief Huang, what exactly happened?" the older policeman demanded.
The village chief hurried forward and handed over the Zhonghua cigarettes that Master Ye had given him. "This matter is a bit complicated, let me explain slowly..."
After recounting the whole story in detail, and with three elderly men acting as witnesses, the police looked at Ye Qingqing in surprise, then at Azhen who was holding her daughter, and were quite happy. This unfortunate daughter-in-law had finally escaped her misery.
Ye Qingqing took out the contract and showed it to the police. "Look, it's clearly written in black and white. They said they would release the people after I paid the money. They counted the 300,000 yuan at the time. I withdrew it from the bank in cash. But after we had a meal, this family said that we had switched the money and that we had produced ghost money from somewhere. Officer, think about it, I'm not a god. I can't conjure things from thin air while eating. Could I have replaced the 300,000 yuan with ghost money?"
"It was you who switched it. Your brother can scale walls and climb up there to switch it," the wicked old woman said hatefully.
Ye Qingqing sneered, "Don't make false accusations. When you took the money upstairs, my brother was downstairs the whole time. The village chief and the old men were watching, and your husband saw it too. How was he supposed to be able to scale walls?"
The village chief and the others nodded repeatedly, "Yes, he stayed downstairs the whole time, with us, and never went out."
The old rogue eunuch pointed at Wuchen and shouted, "She's gone out; she can also scale walls and rooftops."
Wuchen rolled his eyes. "I was thirsty and went out to the car to get some water. I was only gone for a short while. What could I have done? Besides, how would I know where you put the money? There wasn't enough time to find it."
The village chief nodded again and said, "He really didn't go out for long, just a short while to take a piss, and he even brought water for us all."
"Anyway, you switched the items, so you owe me 300,000 yuan... Don't even think about leaving without paying!" The wicked mother-in-law acted like a rogue, demanding money at every turn.
Ye Qingqing sneered, "I think it's just that you're insatiable. You got 300,000 so easily, but you're still not satisfied, so you're putting on a show by using a box of dead people's money to extort money from me!"
The villagers were extremely jealous of the Wu family. They thought that 300,000 yuan had fallen from the sky for no reason, meaning they would never have to worry about anything for the rest of their lives. They thought that God was blind to let such people get 300,000 yuan.
With emotions running high, the villagers no longer cared about their fellow villagers, nor did they want the Wu family to receive another 300,000 yuan in benefits. They all spoke up for Ye Qingqing.
"They must have switched the products themselves. This family is shameless and capable of doing such a despicable thing."
“They’ve done a lot of despicable things in the past. I don’t think the police need to investigate. They’ve definitely hidden it themselves.”
"They're so greedy! They got 300,000 for free and they're still not satisfied. Aren't they afraid of overeating themselves?"
...
Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, none of them believing the wicked mother-in-law's words. This time, the wicked mother-in-law finally experienced the despair of being unable to defend herself. For the first time in decades, she spoke the truth, but no one believed her.
"It really was switched, I'm not lying to you, not a single penny is left... Officers, please believe me, I really am not lying to you, the money is really gone..."
The wicked mother-in-law was so anxious that she cried, but the villagers thought it was crocodile tears and that she was being hypocritical.
"His acting is getting better and better, and he can cry on cue. Humph, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
...
Listening to the villagers' words, the wicked mother-in-law felt even more desperate, sensing the deep malice of this world.
