Chapter 100: One Thousand Dollars

Shen Ruoqing went to the place Shen Xiangbei said to find Zheng Ermei. Old Lady Ji was originally going to come, but Shen Ruoqing didn't let her. Old Lady Ji was worried about her coming alone, so Shen Ruoqing said she would go find Dalong to accompany her.

Here is the third lane.

Shen Ruoqing knocked on Zheng Ermei's door.

"Who is it?"

Zheng Ermei opened the door and found a pretty little girl.

It was rare for her to see such a fair-skinned person. Nowadays, people are all yellow and thin, so she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Shen Ruoqing was also looking at Zheng Ermei at the same time. She was just like her fourth brother said, she was ordinary looking and quite dark.

"Excuse me, are you Zheng Ermei?" Shen Ruoqing asked.

"I am. What do you want from me? I don't know you."

"It's good that I know you. My name is Shen Ruoqing, and I'm Shen Xiangbei's sister. My name is Shen Ruoqing."

Zheng Ermei squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then she remembered who Shen Xiangbei was.

She slammed the door shut.

"Since you are the rapist's sister, I have nothing to say to you. Please leave."

Shen Ruoqing was turned away. If she hadn't been confident that her fourth brother wouldn't lie to her, she would have really thought that Zheng Ermei was a victim. But it seemed that Zheng Ermei was too guilty to talk to her.

She took a deep breath and continued to knock on the door: "Zheng Ermei, please open the door. I came here this time just to have a good negotiation with you."

After knocking for a long time, Zheng Ermei finally opened the door again, but this time her face was full of annoyance.

"Didn't I tell you that I have nothing to discuss with you? Why are you still knocking on my door? Do you believe that I will go and sue Shen Xiangbei again?"

Shen Ruoqing was not afraid: "Haven't you already bitten him to death and committed a crime? How else can you sue him?"

Zheng Ermei looked at Shen Ruoqing and said, "So what do you want? I'm telling you, I won't change my confession. Shen Xiangbei has ruined my innocence, so he should be punished accordingly!"

Shen Ruoqing looked at the neighbors who were already curious and asked, "Comrade Zheng, won't you invite me in to sit down?"

Zheng Ermei reluctantly let Shen Ruoqing into the yard.

"Zheng Ermei, actually, you and I both know that my fourth brother was wronged by you. I am not here to change my confession or anything. I just want to ask, are you seeking money or something else? If you are seeking money, as long as you are not too outrageous, we can negotiate." Shen Ruoqing said straight to the point as soon as he arrived.

"Are you planning to use money to insult me? What injustice do you have? So many people saw it clearly at the time. I didn't wrongly accuse anyone." Zheng Ermei was very stubborn and insisted that it was Shen Xiangbei who did something wrong to her.

After practicing Tai Chi with Zheng Ermei, Shen Ruoqing tried, "I don't know who asked you to do this, but we can give you a price that the person behind the scenes can't. How about 500 yuan?"

"You want to get rid of me with 500 yuan? Are you treating me like a beggar?" Zheng Ermei was delighted, thinking that this family was indeed rich, and she began to waver.

"So how much does Comrade Zheng want?"

"At least one thousand yuan, and Shen Xiangbei's job must be given to me." Zheng Ermei asked directly, "My reputation has been ruined by Shen Xiangbei, you have to give me some compensation."

"No, this is too much money. Our family can't afford it." Shen Ruoqing shook her head. "Five hundred at most. You can forget about your job. My fourth brother has never touched you. We are unlucky to pay this five hundred."

"You said you didn't touch it, so you didn't touch it? My neighbors saw it, and I'm not asking for enough. At least one thousand yuan, and Shen Xiangbei's job must be given up, otherwise you'd better leave."

After talking for half an hour, Zheng Ermei still showed no sign of giving in.

Shen Ruoqing had no choice but to leave first.

When they returned to Shen Xiangbei's house, Old Lady Ji asked first, "My dear, how is it? What did that woman say?"

Su's father and mother also looked at Shen Ruoqing.

Shen Ruoqing shook his head: "The girl named Zheng Ermei wants one thousand yuan and also wants Fourth Brother's job."

"This is too much! She is trying to blackmail our family!" Old Mrs. Ji was very angry. How could their family have a thousand dollars?

Father Su also remained silent.

Su Qiang said, "Want a job? Wishful thinking! We can't give it to her!"

Father Su said, "The most important thing now is to rescue Xiangbei. Since the other party wants money, it proves that we can still communicate. I will go to find Zheng Ermei this afternoon. One thousand yuan is a bit too much."

Shen Ruoqing said: "My brother has already gone to inquire about Zheng Ermei's background, so there is no need to rush."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After having lunch at Su's house, Shen Ruoqing went out again.

She first found Brother Biao and asked, "Who is Wang Ermei? Have you found out? And the one called Dazhu?"

Brother Biao said, "Brother Xiaoliu, you can rest assured that I will do the job. I have already found the two people named Wang Ermei and Dazhu that you asked me to investigate. It is a coincidence that Dazhu followed me for a while, but I am no longer in the black market, and some of the former brothers have also disbanded. Dazhu is still in the black market, and Wang Ermei is his cousin, who helped him sell goods before. I have already tied Dazhu up, brother Xiaoliu, do you want to go and take a look?"

In the small room, Dazhu was tied up.

Hearing footsteps, Dazhu said quickly: "Brother Biao, what did I do to upset you? Just tell me. Didn't you let us work on our own? I just reached out to the dark alley, I deserve to die, please be magnanimous and let me go."

Dazhu didn't even know why he was arrested. He thought he had offended Brother Biao by trying to fight for territory in the black market.

"Humph, I said I've retired from the underworld, and that's what I meant. I didn't arrest you for that. Don't you know how you've offended Brother Xiaoliu and Brother Dalong?"

"I am wronged. I have never done anything to harm Brother Xiaoliu and Brother Dalong."

Shen Ruoqing walked up to Dazhu and asked, "Do you know Shen Xiangbei?"

Dazhu's eyes revealed a look of shock: "Is he related to Brother Xiaoliu? I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I didn't recognize the great man, this is like a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, one family colliding with another family? I just saw that Shen Xiangbei had a little money, so I wanted to extort some money, I was wrong!"

Brother Biao punched Dazhu in the stomach, and Dazhu groaned. It was obvious that the punch was not light.

"Who are you playing tricks on? Why are you targeting a small worker for no reason? Tell me, who instructed you to do this?"

"No one ordered me to do this, I just..." Before he could finish his words, Dazhu was hit again.

"That's enough. You haven't told me a single word of truth. Since you've followed me, you should know what kind of person I am. Give me a good beating until I tell the truth."

Brother Biao and Shen Ruoqing walked outside. Listening to Dazhu's screams, Shen Ruoqing felt no sympathy at all. Her fourth brother almost ruined this man.
