Jiang Cheng didn't care about etiquette anymore and stepped forward to grab Meng Meng.

If he doesn't coax her, his wife will be gone. Meng Meng was caught off guard by his hug and her body went stiff. But his embrace was so warm and reassuring.

He was standing and she was sitting. Jiang Cheng held her like this, letting her face press against his abdomen. She could feel the hard curve on it, the warm touch radiating through her clothes, and the pleasant smell of soap.

"Don't give up easily. I won't give up on you anyway. I'll contact my brother and the others when I go out tomorrow. Manman is a smart person. Talk to her. Maybe she can give us some ideas!"

In his mind, Qin Man is a woman with strong ideas and is very smart. You can tell from the way she manages her business.

Talk to her, maybe she can really help them come up with a foolproof plan.

"Give me a little more time, okay?"

Gently stroking her hair, Meng Meng's heart softened. She sighed and nodded.

The next day, Jiang Cheng set off for the county without even having breakfast.

The bus swayed for two hours before finally arriving at the station. The first thing he did after getting off the bus was not to eat, but to call Qin Man's clothing store.

Because the clothing store has many regular customers, Qin Man discussed with Wan Qian about installing a landline phone to facilitate customer consultations and to promote new models to them.

It is the season change time again and business is booming. The store is bustling with people. Qin Man and Wan Qian happened to be in the store today. When the girl in the store answered the phone and heard that the call was for Qin Man, she immediately notified her.

"Sister Manman, someone is looking for you!"

Qin Man was helping a customer choose new models. Upon hearing the voice, she said hello to the customer and went to answer the phone.

After the call was connected, she heard it was her eldest brother's voice. She was wondering who was calling her and who specifically asked for her. It turned out to be her eldest brother!

"What's wrong, brother? Aren't you at Sister Mengmeng's house? Why are you calling me?"

"Sister-in-law, I have something I want to talk to you about. Can you give me some advice?"

"Okay, you say!"...

Jiang Cheng told Qin Man everything that happened here and asked her what he would do if the Zhao couple continued to refuse to give in.

After Qin Man listened to his detailed explanation, she roughly understood the situation.

It was Sister Mengmeng's brother and sister-in-law, who were vampires. They had been using her mother and son as bargaining chips for many years, asking her for a lot of living expenses, and torturing them at home if she didn't give them.

This time when Jiang Cheng went there, he even asked for 500 yuan as a betrothal gift. Jiang Cheng felt that they would definitely make trouble again and would not let it go so easily, so he hoped that Qin Man could come up with an idea for him.

"Did you promise to give them money?" Qin Man asked.

Jiang Cheng on the phone hummed and then explained:

"They refused to give us the household registration booklet. I only agreed temporarily. You know that illegal cohabitation is strictly enforced now. If they report us without a marriage certificate, they will be fined at the very least, detained at the worst, and it will also affect Meng Meng's reputation!"

"Believe it or not, even if you take the 500 yuan back, they won't give you the household registration booklet. They will definitely say that the 500 yuan they promised you is a betrothal gift to Sister Mengmeng, and Xiaoyi's part is another matter. To put it bluntly, this is no different from blackmail!"

After Qin Man heard what he said, she knew that the couple were not good people and would definitely take advantage of Jiang Cheng.

He was alone and weak there, and could only let others manipulate him. He couldn't take this person away easily!

"What should I do then, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Cheng was afraid that they would do this. After all, the household registration booklet was with them and he did not have the initiative.

Qin Man thought about it and wondered what to do about this matter. After a while, she came up with an idea.

"Let me tell you, bro. Just listen to me and do what I say!"

Qin Man told him her idea, and Jiang Cheng
