Chapter 20 The Twentieth Cross



Xia Mian thought he might be nervous, so she didn't argue with him and instead brought up another matter: "Do you have a nephew? How old is he this year?"

Ning Shaobai was surprised by her sudden question, but still answered, "Yes, six years old, what's wrong?"

Xia Mian frowned. "Does your sister have a cell phone? Can you contact her?"

Ning Shaobai raised an eyebrow, "You know about cell phones?"

Xia Mian couldn't help but roll her eyes. Not only did she know this, she was also extremely proficient in it. "If your sister has a cell phone, you'd better contact her. Since your stepmother has taken action against you, you should also be careful with your sister."

Ning Shaobai thought of something, his expression became serious, and he immediately picked up his phone and dialed.

Xia Mian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

After knowing that Ning Shaobai was the male protagonist's uncle, Xia Mian suddenly remembered an important plot.

When the protagonist was a child, his mother and father had a quarrel, so his mother took him away from home to go to his great-grandmother's house to find his uncle.

He was kidnapped on the road and had several of his fingers cut off, leaving him disabled. Later, he was abandoned by his family, which led to his gloomy and paranoid personality.

His parents could not forgive each other because of this incident, and they continued to hate each other for the rest of their lives after their divorce.

In the end, it was discovered that it was the Ning family's wife who was trying to sow discord between the Ning and Huo families in order to fight for the family property.

But even though the culprit met a miserable end, the protagonist's happy family had already fallen apart and could never go back to the way it was before. The protagonist's mother blamed herself to death.

Although there is no specific process, the book repeatedly mentions that the male protagonist was kidnapped when he was six years old - on a rainy summer day.

Xia Mian didn't intend to get involved in the plot, but she couldn't bear to see a six-year-old child suffer such a terrible crime. She hoped that with her reminder, Ning Shaobai would be able to contact Ning Shaoyun again, so there shouldn't be any big problems, right?

Although she had been thinking about it, she didn't expect things to happen so quickly. The next day, she ran into the kidnapping scene.

After breakfast that day, Xia Mian saw that the weather was cool and suitable for going out, so he took Xiao Feng to the Huaguo Bank in the city center and rented a safe to store his stamp album.

Not to mention that she has little privacy now that she is staying at the Zhang family, wouldn't it be better to put her things in the safest place?

Xia Mian was a little skeptical. Although Zhang Qiming was a thoughtful person, he had too little experience and had no idea there was such a thing as a bank safe.

After finishing the work, Xia Mian planned to take Xiao Feng to the zoo for a visit. The child had never been out to play since he was a child.

As a result, it suddenly started to rain heavily when they were halfway there. The shops on the roadside had narrow eaves and were instantly crowded with people. Xia Mian hugged Xiao Feng and ran towards the nearby train station.

As I was passing through an alley, I suddenly heard a shout, "What are you doing?"

This was followed by short screams from children and women.

Xia Mian was attracted by the angry scolding, the extremely distinctive reverberation subwoofer, she had never seen such a beautiful voice except Ning Shaobai.

When Xia Mian returned, he saw three or four men pulling a child and a woman into a car not far away.

Both of them had their mouths covered tightly. The woman held the child's waist tightly with both hands and kicked the car door to refuse to get in the car. The tall young man not far away was surrounded by four or five other men and could not get close at all.

This group of people are obviously extremely experienced. There is no surveillance at the train station at this time, and passengers do not need real-name registration. It is the most mixed place.

As long as you put people in the car, they will run away immediately, and the increasingly heavy rain will cover everything for them.

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Xia Mian didn't care about anything else and suddenly shouted, "Comrade police, here, someone is kidnapping a child!" The girl's unique shrill voice was very penetrating, and those people were frightened.

The hesitation gave Ning Shaoyun and Ning Shaobai the opportunity to seize the opportunity. They turned around smoothly, protecting the child in the middle and gaining some breathing space.

Several passers-by who were running also stopped to watch the fun.

The kidnapper on the other side was frightened and did not hear the sirens. He immediately realized that he had been deceived and hurriedly continued to snatch the child from the woman's arms.

However, Ning Shaobai was on guard, and even with their numbers, they couldn't do anything to him for the time being. The child was already crying loudly out of fear, and Ning Shaoyun also began to shout for help.

A kind passerby stopped and shouted: "Stop! What are you doing?"

A dark and burly man pointed an iron rod at passersby and said, "What are you looking at? This is my eldest brother's wife and son. They're running off with this pretty boy. Mind your own business, kid!"

The passerby hesitated for a moment.

"I know that kid. He's from our hospital. They're the ones trafficking women and children," Xia Mian said. "Brother, please call the police."

Hearing this, the dark-skinned man glared at Xia Mian and threatened, "Little girl, mind your own business, or else get in the car too!"

Seeing the passerby running towards the phone booth, the kidnappers actually sent one person to chase him. The passerby was scared away when he saw that the other person had a weapon in his hand.

The returning kidnappers and the dark-skinned man blocked Xia Mian from front and back.

Seeing her put the child down and pick up a brick, he couldn't help but laugh, "Oh, you want to save people with this? You are quite a righteous girl, and you even give us a little tribute?"

Their eyes fell on Xiao Feng, their tone was fierce. It was obvious that they were planning to make another move.

Although Xia Mian had no children in her previous life, she still hated human traffickers. Especially today, she was forced to take action. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She shouted at the top of her voice, "Catch the human traffickers! Twenty yuan for stopping the car from driving away, and one hundred yuan for participating in the arrest!"

As he said this, he took the lead and smashed the windshield of the van with a brick.

The two kidnappers were completely caught off guard by her actions and were stunned for a moment. The people around them reacted quickly to the news of money being made. A young man ran over to confirm, "Are you serious?! Give me money?"

Xia Mian directly took out a large stack of unity from his bag and said, "It requires twenty adults. You can count them yourself. If you have twenty, you can leave. If you have more, there won't be enough money."

As soon as Xia Mian finished speaking, more than a dozen people appeared from all directions. Those who couldn't fight picked up bricks and smashed the car like Xia Mian, while those who had some skills went to help Ning Shaobai.

The kidnapper who had chased someone out earlier was so angry that he rushed towards Xia Mian with a knife. He treated her as an ordinary girl and was not on guard, so Xia Mian easily snatched the knife and had her tendons cut without mercy.

The creepy screams spread in the rain, shaking the minds of the kidnappers. After Ning Shaobai grabbed an iron rod, he became ruthless and killed two more people, which made the kidnappers completely retreat.

However, under Xia Xian's "heavy reward", they had no way to retreat. The fragile van was almost scrapped by the blessing of more than a dozen people's magical weapons of bricks. Someone who didn't know what was going on took out a handful of nails and scattered them around the van...

The sirens finally sounded, and the people who had run away in fear jumped out of the car, saying, "The police are here!"

Seven or eight kidnappers were taken into the police car. Ning Shaoyun collapsed on the ground holding the child, crying loudly with the child...

It was already evening when we came out of the police station. The sky in the west was covered with magnificent sunset clouds, but no one was in a good mood.

Ning Shaoyun's eyes were red, and she hugged Huo Yuchen tightly, still in fear. Little Chenchen was also sobbing.

Ning Shaoyun kept thanking Xia Mian, "Thank you so much today. If it weren't for you... I wouldn't even dare to think about it... You are our savior!" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyelashes.

It was raining heavily just now and everyone looked like a drowned rat. Xia Mian only knew that Dr. Ning's sister had a slim and perfect figure.

At this moment, looking at this delicate face without makeup, I can't help but swallow my saliva to show my respect. She is so beautiful, worthy of being the one who gave birth to the male protagonist.

Facing the tearful beauty, Xia Mian couldn't help but lower his voice, "It's okay, sister. Such human traffickers are condemned by everyone, and this is what I should do. Besides, Teacher Mi and I are neighbors."

Ning Shaobai covered his arm and said sincerely, "Thank you."

If Xia Mian hadn't reminded him yesterday, he wouldn't have called his sister and wouldn't have known that she had quarreled with Huo Xuewen and quietly bought a ticket to come and seek refuge with him.

If he hadn't come to pick me up...

Ning Shaobai couldn't imagine the consequences.

"I'll remember this favor." Ning Shaobai said, "If you need any help in the future, just let me know."

Xia Mian's eyes lit up, "Really?!"

Ning Shaobai: ...

“It has to be a reasonable request.”

Xia Mian put on a fake smile, "Does this fairy look like someone who would commit a crime?"

Ning Shaobai thought of her skillfully wielding the brick and nodded reluctantly, "No, you're a law-abiding fairy and you don't like fighting."

Xia Mian smiled reservedly at Ning Shaoyun with pursed lips. If one hadn't seen with one's own eyes her skillful use of the knife to pierce someone's hand, her pretty and well-behaved appearance would have been quite intimidating.

"Xiaobai, how is your arm?" Ning Shaoyun's eyes fell on Ning Shaobai and said worriedly, "Let's go to the hospital first."

Ning Shaobai also looked at her and asked, "What about you? Are you hurt anywhere?" As he said that, he walked forward and pulled Huo Yuchen to check on him. Although he had just taken a quick look, he was still not at ease.

Huo Yuchen was still a little kid at the moment, without any trace of gloomy or stubbornness. He sobbed and said, "My arm hurts."

Ning Shaobai hurriedly checked and said, "It's a gnat."

"No matter what, let's go to the hospital first." Ning Shaobai finished examining Huo Yuchen and then reached out to touch Xiaofeng's forehead. "You should also pay attention to Xiaofeng's health and get everything checked out."

He drove out in a military green jeep and went to the People's Hospital very quickly.

Huo Yuchen looked at Ning Shaobai's arm worriedly, "Will uncle's arm bleed?"

Ning Shaobai reached out and rubbed his head, "Don't worry, it won't happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Mian watched helplessly as bloodstains appeared on his upper arm's white shirt...

Huo Yuchen obviously saw it too, "Uncle! Blood!"

He frowned and said distressedly, "I can't drive anymore."

"Don't worry." Ning Shaobai laughed, "It was my uncle who drove the car here just now."

Five minutes later...

Ning Shaobai went to the police station with his arm in a sling and asked a policeman to come out and help send them back.

Huo Yuchen, who was in Ning Shaoyun's arms in the back seat, poked his head out and asked, "Why is the police officer driving? We are in danger..."

Ning Shaoyun muttered, "Be good, the police officer is here to help us, there's no danger."

Xia Mian also breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that she was superstitious, but this little boy seemed to have a bit of a bad mouth.

Ning Shaobai, who had previously successfully followed the police car in driving the jeep, accidentally hit the steering wheel with his clumsy arm when getting into the car after Huo Yuchen spoke, adding to the injury, and he couldn't lift it up.

Xiao Feng lay on Xia Mian's arm, quietly poked his head out and looked at Huo Yuchen curiously, and Xia Mian couldn't help but steal a glance at him.

As the male protagonist in the novel, at such a young age one can already foresee his future stunning looks. His big eyes flicker and his eyelashes are like small fans. He is as handsome as her daughter Xiao Feng. But it would be better if he could keep his mouth shut.

The car sped to the People's Hospital. Huo Yuchen immediately hugged Ning Shaoyun's neck when he saw the people in white coats coming in and out, "Mom, I don't want the injection."

Ning Shaoyun comforted him, "We won't get injections."

Little Huo Yuchen is not easy to fool, "He won't take bitter medicine either."

"You don't even need to take bitter medicine." Ning Shaoyun coaxed, "You're in pain, so just apply some medicine and it will go away."

Huo Yuchen has always been a cautious child. His eyes fell on Xiao Feng, "Brother, are you in pain too?"

"My brother isn't in pain. He just got caught in the rain and I'm worried he might catch a cold." Ning Shaoyun explained patiently.

Huo Yuchen immediately showed sympathy, "A cold requires bitter medicine and injections..."

Ning Shaobai and Xia Mian had subtle expressions.

Half an hour later, Xia Mian held Xiao Feng in her arms, while listening to the heartbreaking cry of Huo Yuchen in the clinic, "I don't want the injection, my mom is a liar," and feeding Xiao Feng hot and spicy ginger soup.

The crow's mouth is still effective, but her Xiao Feng seems to have the ability to rebound.

Xiao Feng's physical condition was surprisingly good. The situation was urgent at the time, and Xia Mian didn't care about Xiao Feng, so he got soaked. He thought he would really catch a cold and fever as Huo Yuchen said.

As it turned out, there were no symptoms at the moment, so he just needed to get rid of the cold first. However, little Huo Yuchen had a high fever.

Just then, Teacher Mi and Engineer Chen heard the news and rushed over, filling a thermos with ginger soup.

Seeing Xiao Feng taking each mouthful without frowning, Xia Mian also tasted it and hissed instantly. She still hated the taste of ginger soup.

Xiao Feng looked towards the clinic worriedly, "Aunt, my brother is crying."

Xia Mian touched his head and said, "Brother was almost taken away by bad guys today, and now he has to get an injection. He is scared and in pain."

Listening to the loud crying of little Huo Yuchen, occasionally interspersed with angry curses like "Mom is a liar" and "Uncle is a bad guy", Xia Mian could no longer associate him with the gloomy, cold and somewhat mean male protagonist in the book.

"Crying because you're scared?" Xiao Feng was curious.

"Yes, cry when you are scared."

Xia Mian fed him a mouthful of ginger soup and said, "When you are happy, scared, in pain, sad, or when you think the ginger soup doesn't taste good, you can cry. Cry whenever you want."

Xiao Feng swallowed the ginger soup without changing his expression, looked up at Xia Mian and said, "Xiao Feng, be good. Xiao Feng, don't cry."

Whenever Xiao Feng cries, the adults will scold him, but he doesn't want to make his aunt angry.

Xia Mian felt sad. Perhaps it was because he knew no one loved him, so he threw everything away early on—it was his nature as a child...

Xia Mian kissed the child's forehead and said, "Xiao Feng is a good boy even if he cries." One day, she would spoil him to the point that he would act like a spoiled child and cry.

After Xia Mian drank the ginger soup and Xiao Feng broke out in a sweat, the doctor let them go home.

Teacher Mi's house was still in a mess because of what happened today, so he didn't disturb Xiao Feng's hibernation. He quickly carried Xiao Feng upstairs to take a hot bath. Although the doctor said that he was fine for the time being, he still needed to be carefully observed.

Lying on the bed with Xiao Feng in her arms, Xia Mian carefully thought about leaving the Zhang family. After experiencing those two thugs who came to the house, she fully understood Zhang Qiming's shameless behavior. She was not afraid, but there was Xiao Feng.

Putting aside the issue of avoiding harm, he is only four and a half years old. Perhaps if he changes to a better environment, there is still a chance to heal his psychological trauma.

It is definitely not possible to go directly to Yan City. Even if they leave secretly, they are both minors. If Zhang Qiming and Uncle Xia call the police, they will be caught and brought back to be at the mercy of others.

So the first thing to solve is Xiaofeng's household registration. As long as Xiaofeng is transferred to her household registration book, at least she can take him away at will without Zhang Qiming taking advantage of the loophole to kidnap him. As for the issue of custody, she can slowly plan it out.

Xia Mian thought about the living room outside, which seemed a little empty because of the lack of two large items, and felt that changing the household registration should not be too difficult.

Even if Zhang Qiming doesn't want to, doesn't he still have Huang Xiaojuan? And if all else fails, there's still the Huang family...

If that doesn't work, she can just try harder!

Xia Mian calculated the time and found that Zhang Qiming would be back in four days, so Huang Xiaojuan would have to take the blame for the stamp album...

The next morning, after making sure Xiao Feng was in good health, Xia Mian took him out to buy some necessities for the child. After all, the things in Mingxi, a small county town, were not as good as those in the city.

Yes, she planned to take Xiao Feng back home! After all, the Zhang family was going to face a series of storms, so they would not get involved.

If they wanted her to come back, they would have to come and invite her in person.

On the evening of the day before departure, Ning Shaoyun brought Huo Yuchen upstairs to thank them. After a whole day, Ning Shaoyun finally came to her senses. Today, she went out with Ning Shaobai to buy a lot of things for them.

Ning Shaoyun obviously understood their situation in detail, and bought targeted and practical things. Xiaofeng bought clothes, shoes, toys, children's nutritional products, etc., and Xia Mian bought several beautiful dresses, which she liked very much. She really had the vision of a fairy.

There was also a CD player and some English discs. Ning Shaoyun said softly, "I heard you're in high school. This would be very useful for learning English."

At this point, she pulled out a black leather phone book and handed it over. "Here's my contact information, phone number, and address. If you need any help, feel free to contact me."

This was a sincere gesture of wanting to have a long-term relationship. Xia Mian happily accepted it and said, "Don't worry, sister. I will definitely come to you if I have anything."

I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. If I have any problems in the future, I will ask the fairy for help. I don't have to compromise with Ning Shaobai anymore.

Ning Shaoyun smiled and asked when she saw her packing her luggage, "Are you going out?"

"Yes." Xia Mian said, "I'll take Xiao Feng home and meet the elders in my hometown to discuss what to do."

Ning Shaoyun said, "That's right, it would be better if an elder stepped forward to handle this matter."

"When will you be back?"

That depends on when Huang Xiaojuan's crime is exposed.

He said to Ning Shaoyun, "Let's see what the elders discuss."

Ning Shaoyun said, "My grandma also said that you can take the entrance exam for Huagang No. 1 Middle School."

"Thank you so much, Teacher Mi." Xia Mian said gratefully, "But I need to think about it. If we don't reach an agreement, I don't know what Huang Xiaojuan will do to me while I'm studying here. High school is so important. If she ruins it, it will be troublesome. And Xiaofeng, I really don't feel comfortable leaving him alone at the Zhang family."

"Do you want to move out and live on your own?" Ning Shaoyun asked, "Separating from their family is indeed an option, but it does require the intervention of the elders."

Xia Mian nodded.

Huo Yuchen tugged at his mother's hand, "Mom, my brother from that day."

The little guy was wearing a cool sports outfit today. He didn't cry like he did that day, so his temperament was highlighted. He was indeed different from the other kids seen here.

Xiao Feng hid behind Xia Mian, feeling a little shy, but he also remembered what his aunt taught him about greeting people. He stuck his head out and whispered, "Brother." Then he went to see Xia Mian.

He actually remembered - always remembered this little brother. The little brother cried so miserably and pitifully that day.

Huo Yuchen didn't know that he was a pitiful little thing in Xiaofeng's heart. He was only six years old. After being comforted by his family, he had already forgotten the thrilling incident of that day. He only remembered one thing, "Did my brother get the injection?"

Ning Shaoyun touched his head helplessly and quickly changed the subject, "Brother is not sick, but he has never played with toys. Wouldn't it be better for you to teach him to play with your toys?"

Xia Mian also wanted to make Xiao Feng more lively and bold, so she pushed him and said, "This is Brother Chenchen. Let him take you out to play, okay?"

Xiao Feng called out obediently, "Brother Chenchen."

Chenchen immediately puffed out his chest and patted Xiaofeng's head in a serious manner, "Little Feng, my little brother."

Xia Mian picked out a bunch of toys and put them on the sofa. She got up and made some snacks for the two little ones.

Ning Shaoyun also came to help. Firstly, she still had some psychological trauma and couldn't let Chenchen out of her sight. Secondly, she also wanted to hide away for some quiet time. "The neighbors are so welcoming."

Xia Mian understood that Ning Shaobai's identity as a rich young man was forced to be exposed, and there was a constant stream of people visiting Teacher Mi's house in recent days.

The problems continue:

"Do rich people live in big villas? How many rooms are there?"

"Why is Dr. Ning's cell phone so small? Is it expensive if it's so convenient?"

"Dr. Ning could inherit tens of millions? Did his stepmother really hire someone to kill someone?"

Although most of the time it is just pure curiosity, it still makes people uncomfortable.

But Xia Mian, a curious girl, surprisingly didn't ask any questions, which made Ning Shaoyun feel at ease.

Xia Mian was not curious at all. Mistresses, stepmothers, illegitimate children, and fights over family property were almost the seasonings of most wealthy families. She had heard too much about them.

However, she was very happy to talk to Ning Shaoyun about dressing and other things.

Occasionally I would pay attention to the two children, and I found out that Chenchen really acted like an older brother.

Although he has a bit of a domineering personality, he is also responsible and teaches very seriously: Rubik's Cube, puzzle, checkers... Xiao Feng learns obediently, and later his eyes become brighter and brighter, and he finally has some childish playfulness.

Xia Mian took out double skin milk and banana pie for the two little ones.

Chenchen sat upright, holding a small spoon and eating in small bites very politely, like a real gentleman.

Xiao Feng's eating habits were not bad, but he had experienced hunger before, and no one taught him how to eat, so he enjoyed his food very much. He was somewhat eager when he put the food into his mouth, and his head was almost buried in the bowl.

"You can't eat like this." Chenchen suddenly put down the bowl and said seriously.

Xiao Feng raised her head and looked at Chenchen blankly, "Brother?"

Ning Shaoyun was about to say something but was stopped by Xia Mian. Although she protected Xiaofeng, he had to experience many things on his own. Except for malicious ones like Xuanxuan's, disputes between ordinary children actually helped him understand the world.

"Sit up straight and use a spoon to scoop the food into your mouth." Chenchen said as he demonstrated. After taking a bite, he said to Xiaofeng, "Now you eat."

Xiao Feng sat up straight and followed Chenchen's demonstration. After eating, she put down the spoon and looked at Chenchen.

Chenchen nodded in satisfaction, "Very good, let's eat it like this."

So the two children sat face to face, one intending to demonstrate, the other intending to learn, and both ate their desserts in a serious manner.

After finishing the double skin milk in the bowl, Xiao Feng looked at the banana pie eagerly, waiting for his brother Chenchen to teach him how to eat it. It was the first time someone took him to play like this, and he was very happy.

Xia Mian looked at Xiao Feng's glowing little face and couldn't help but smile.

Ning Shaoyun also laughed, "It's because Xiaofeng is smart. He can learn it after being taught once. Chenchen also has a younger brother at home, but he doesn't have much patience and doesn't like to take care of his younger brother."

At this point, he said regretfully, "It's a pity that you are leaving tomorrow. I think Chenchen and Xiaofeng get along quite well."

It’s a bit of a pity for Xiao Feng to hibernate in the summer. It’s rare for Xiao Feng to have a playmate, which makes her want to settle down quickly.

The two little guys were having a lot of fun. Chenchen refused to leave, so Ning Shaoyun coaxed him, "It's late, Xiaofeng brother should rest."

Chenchen looked at his younger brother Xiaofeng, whose eyes were shining, and said in disbelief, "Mom, didn't you say that we can rest after the lights are turned off? The lights in my brother's house haven't been turned off yet. I'm not sleepy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light bulb in the living room flickered twice and went out.

aestivation:……

Chenchen was reluctantly dragged away by Ning Shaoyun.

Xiao Feng was also very excited while lying on the bed. He looked up at Xia Mian and said, "Brother Chenchen said he has a plane and will bring it to me tomorrow to play with."

Xia Mian sighed secretly and smiled, "Xiao Feng is going back to your grandma's house with Auntie tomorrow. They'll come back after a while. If Brother Chenchen is still here, you two can play together. If not, wait until Xiao Feng graduates from kindergarten, and Auntie will take you to Yan City to find him, okay?"

Xiao Feng rolled over and sat up, looking at Xia Mian. "Brother Chenchen's home is also in Yan City?"

"Yes, Brother Chenchen is from Yan City." Xia Mian said with a smile.

Xiao Feng immediately stopped worrying about whether she could see Chenchen tomorrow, and her face lit up. "We'll go to Yan City too in the future."

"Yes." Xia Mian said, "But before that, this matter must be kept secret and no one can know about it, otherwise we won't be able to go."

Xiao Feng's expression immediately turned serious. She covered her mouth with her hands and shook her head, "Xiao Feng won't tell anyone."

"Be good!" Xia Mian kissed his little tender face hard.

Before Xia Mian left, she laid the groundwork for the storm that would come to the Zhang family.

She flipped through the phone book next to the landline, found Huang Xiaojuan's home number and dialed:

"Hurry and get Huang Xiaojuan home. Someone's accusing her of stealing over 30,000 yuan from someone's bankbook and refusing to return it. This is a serious crime, punishable by at least five years in prison. If you can't find her, she'll be charged with absconding and will face additional charges. If you let her stay home, you'll be harbouring a criminal and harboring him."

"Oh, by the way, let me investigate something. Huang Xiaojuan said they borrowed over 40,000 yuan from you to buy the house. How much have they paid you back? Do you have an IOU? Only with an IOU can we prove what she said is true."

Listening to the old lady who answered the phone turn into a vigorous man, Xia Mian explained very carefully, "Yes, she said she borrowed it from you. Only if there is an IOU can it prove that what she said is true."

At this point, he casually said, "You too, even if you are relatives, how can such a large amount of money be paid without an IOU? What if she doesn't...

You can even go to court and ask for money based on the IOU."

“…”

"Of course the court only looks at the IOU. After all, who would write an IOU to someone for no reason? If you have an IOU, you have to pay it back... Alas, these days, when it comes to borrowing money, you can't just rely on your conscience."

Listening to the gradually heavier breathing on the other end, Xia Mian hung up the phone with satisfaction. Who doesn't have a few greedy relatives these days?

Huang's parents are poor, and they particularly favor boys over girls, so the Huang family's daughter has a very hard life. Otherwise, Huang Xiaojuan would not be so shameless as to become a mistress and get pregnant before marriage.

So Zhang Qiming extremely disliked the Huang family. In order not to offend this most promising son-in-law, the Huang family was relatively obedient. But if there were 40,000 yuan... hehe...

After hanging up the phone, Xia Mian put the piece of raw pork that had been infested by flies for a long time and that he had prepared yesterday into Xiao Feng's dirty snakeskin bag.

Finally, I looked around the living room which was now much emptier, put the door key in my pocket, and set off!

Discovering for the first time that she had such intelligence and talent, Xia Mian happily hummed a tune and took Xiao Feng downstairs. The only pity was that she couldn't see the wonderful expressions of the Zhang couple in person.
