In the past, she could still shamelessly borrow money from her husband's relatives, but now, the old lady of the Chen family is on the verge of death, and several brothers and sisters-in-law are waiting for the division of the family property. Not to mention lending her money, it is not certain whether she can get anything when the family property is divided.
You must strike first to gain the upper hand.
She had been eyeing Qin Zhao's house for a long time.
This mud house was the old house of the Chen family before they became rich. She had tried her best to persuade the mother of the Chen family to let her son study in this house. Who would have thought that her son would not live up to his expectations and brought back a child who had occupied this house for three years without any reason.
Now that her mother is bedridden, she naturally wants to take the opportunity to take the house back.
That’s not all.
She knew that Qin Zhao had good stuff here.
When this man was rescued, he only had to pawn his tattered clothes to pay for food and medical fees for half a year.
At that time, the man was wearing more than just a piece of clothing.
Those things must still be hidden in this room. As long as she drives those people away, they will be hers.
When Mrs. Chen thought of this, she smiled with a determination to win.
Sister Chen said, "Qin Zhao, I don't want to make things too awkward. Do you want to leave by yourself, or do you want me to send you off?"
As soon as she finished speaking, several men behind her slowly walked up.
Qin Zhao's movements were still slow. He took out a purse from his arms, and the copper coins inside jingled as he moved.
Qin Zhao said, "Thanks to the Chen family for taking care of me for so long, I should definitely pay them back."
"You have money?" Mrs. Chen's expression changed. "I don't know if it's enough. Let me count it."
She reached out to take it, but Qin Zhao dodged it with his hand.
Qin Zhao said politely, "The name on the lease is Chen's grandmother. Even if the money needs to be repaid, it should be returned to her, not you, sister-in-law."
Mrs. Chen looked a little embarrassed and forced a smile, saying, "My mother can't move most of her body right now, let alone speak. She can only ask us, the younger generation, to collect the debt for her."
"...Are you stalling here deliberately because you don't have enough money?"
Mrs. Chen's target was the valuables that Qin Zhao had hidden in the house. Not only would she not let him go to the Chen family to pay back the money, she wouldn't even give him the chance to pack up.
She didn't delay any longer and shouted, "Don't bother with him, kick him out!"
Several big men came forward in response.
Jing Li was so anxious that he was about to jump up, but he saw Qin Zhao kicking the bench beside the table and taking the wooden barrel off the table.
He didn't use much force, and the bench hit the calf of the big man closest to him. The man cried out in pain and was pushed by the person behind him, falling straight onto the table, with his body hitting the corner of the table.
"ah--!"
The earthen bowls on the table fell to the ground, and the man's facial features were distorted with pain. Seeing this, a man behind him turned around and hit Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he dodged the opponent's oncoming fist with a simple turn of his head. However, the man used too much force and nearly fell into the firewood pile nearby.
"You...you..." Mrs. Chen's face turned grim, and her finger trembled as she pointed at Qin Zhao. "You can't even handle a sickly person. Come on, everyone, get the money and everyone will get a share!"
"Enough!" Chen Yan'an stood in front of Qin Zhao and said, unable to bear it any longer, "Mom, since Qin Zhao said he is rich, why are you still forcing him like this?"
Everyone blocked Chen Yan'an in front and dared not attack again.
"What do you know? Get out of the way!" Mrs. Chen said. "He's asking for the money back, isn't he? He's just stalling for time! If we don't get the money today, then when your grandma dies, he'll take the money and run away. Who will we ask for the money? Do you still want to continue your studies this year?!"
