"You guessed right! My cousin suffered an undeserved disaster because of your shamelessness and now has such a bad reputation. In addition to returning what originally belonged to the Zhang family, he should also receive compensation."
Xiao Yuheng spoke slowly, but his expression was serious and earnest, and no one could ignore what he said.
“Yes! Qian Dahua has been eating and drinking the best food and drinks at my house for the past few months. I don’t want much, just fifty yuan. Also, my family and I have become the laughing stock of the whole area. I’m now a divorced person, and it will affect my chances of finding a partner in the future. I have to compensate for that too! Add another two hundred yuan to the total, and this matter will be over.”
He originally meant to say one hundred yuan, but thinking about how upset his family had been these past few days because of this, he blurted out two hundred, and even felt that two hundred was a bit too little.
You beasts! You two are beasts!
He dared not think about when he would have discovered this if he hadn't gone out to search for Qian Dahua because he was worried about her health. Would he have already been raising someone else's child for several years by then?
Just thinking about these things makes him so angry he wants to kill someone!
Of course, he hadn't thought of these things at first, but his cousin had already put it so clearly, it would be too much for him not to take it seriously.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You're asking for an exorbitant amount."
Qian Mancang certainly didn't want to agree. Putting aside the compensation, if he were to make Qian Dahua's family return all that money, they would definitely try to extort money from him. In addition to the two hundred yuan compensation, he would probably lose more than half of his savings over the years.
That was money he had saved up over the years by working hard and keeping a low profile, so of course he couldn't bear to give it away like that.
"Impossible! Don't come after me for this. If you're so capable, go to the Qian family yourself and tell them that I didn't do it. Don't try to extort me!"
He wanted to continue being tough, and Qian Mancang's parents, who were behind him, were so angry that they wanted to hit him.
"Like I said before, the truth will out and the falsehood will become the truth. Right now, I just want to recover my losses. If you insist on bullying me like this, then don't blame me for going to the county town to talk to your wife and father-in-law and your boss. As for the truth, I trust they will judge for themselves."
Zhang Xiaojun acted very maturely and firmly, not even letting Xiao Yuheng say much. He understood Xiao Yuheng's status and knew that many things were not suitable for him to say, so he had to stand up for himself.
Qian Mancang knew the other party was serious, and that was what he feared most.
He was just a tool for having children in his wife's family. Now that they have a grandson, he can be discarded at any time.
Yes! It's about giving him up. His wife doesn't love him at all. She only agreed to marry him because she thinks he's good-looking and good for their offspring. Plus, his family lives in the countryside and is easy to control. He's been very good at flattering her all these years, so their little family is relatively stable.
But if the Zhang family really makes a scene, that father and daughter will definitely not give him a good look, and with his father-in-law's abilities, they might actually be able to find out something.
When that day comes, the son's family property will all belong to the other party, and he won't even be able to keep his current job. He will have no choice but to slink back to the village in disgrace.
He was willing to come back when he was a city dweller because he wanted to enjoy the envious looks from others, but if he were really asked to come back and continue living as a rural person, he absolutely couldn't stand it.
Qian Mancang knew himself too well, and he also knew his father-in-law and wife too well, so Zhang Xiaojun had his Achilles' heel.
After taking several deep breaths, Qian Mancang finally calmed himself down. "Xiaojun, do you really want to do this? We were friends before, how could you do this to me? Besides, you were the one who asked me to introduce Dahua to you."
At this point, he sighed dramatically, "Never mind, I was your introducer, so I have to take some responsibility now that there's a problem. I'll talk to them on your behalf!"
As the two were talking, several onlookers had gathered. Qian Mancang was afraid that these people would say something inappropriate later, so he pretended to be calm and try to save face.
Zhang Xiaojun didn't care; as long as the money came back, everything else could be dealt with later.
“I’ll wait for you in the village. If you finish things before noon today, we’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, my cousin is driving here, and it’s very convenient to go to the county town.”
My cousin arrived by car; he had a military air about him. These words don't sound like they mean much.
A name immediately popped into Qian Mancang's mind. Looking at Xiao Yuheng, the more he looked, the more he thought he resembled him. He immediately realized that he had kicked a hornet's nest.
"I see."
Qian Mancang's parents wanted to say something, but he stopped them. They regretted even more that they had chosen Zhang Xiaojun, this sucker.
You can't blame him. Zhang Xiaojun had never mentioned having such a capable cousin before, so he misjudged him.
Having said everything he needed to say, Xiao Yuheng turned and left with Zhang Xiaojun, leaving the Qian family members standing there with varying expressions.
"A full warehouse, that's worth so much money! We can't give it to them."
Qian Mancang was reluctant to part with the money, but if he didn't spend it, he would lose even more later. "I'll handle this myself, don't worry! I won't ask you for money."
After saying that, he started walking, avoiding people, towards Qian Dahua's house.
"Big Flower, it's me."
Qian Dahua was still at home worrying when there was a knock on the window. Hearing a familiar voice, Qian Dahua quickly opened the window. "Brother Mancang, what brings you here? You shouldn't have come."
Qian Dahua was still very touched. Her brother Mancang knew that many people were watching them, but he still came to find her, avoiding people. What else could this be but worry about her?
"Open the back door, I need to speak with you."
Qian Dahua was almost moved to tears. "Okay, I'll go open it for you right now."
She hurriedly put on her shoes and went out of the house. She ran to the back of the house and opened the door. Qian Dahua took two steps forward and was about to rush into Qian Mancang's arms, but he stopped her.
"Just stand there and don't move. I have something to tell you."
Qian Mancang briefly explained the current situation before saying with a solemn expression, "Your family must return the Zhang family's belongings, or we're both finished."
"But, but those things are already in my dad's pocket, there's no way he can take them out."
"Do you want to be criticized? You still have a long life ahead of you. Do you want to be looked down upon for the rest of your life, or even get shot?"
Qian Dahua trembled at these words, "Brother Mancang, I don't want to..."
She was still thinking of waiting until Qian Mancang was rich and powerful before marrying her. Even if that didn't work out, she could still live a good life with his help, instead of like she was now.
Qian Mancang knew she was timid and easily fooled, but he added fuel to the fire, "I'm not doing this for myself, but also for your parents. You know my wife is not someone to be trifled with. If the Zhang family really brings these things to her attention, my father-in-law will definitely not let it go. He might even investigate thoroughly. Then we won't be able to hide what we did before. If we really anger them, not only will the two of us be finished, but they definitely won't let your family off the hook either."
"You have to understand that if they really wanted to crush us, it would be no different than crushing an ant."
