Chapter 38

~5 min read 894 words

Hearing them say this, First Uncle's face turned black immediately; was he really being put on a pedestal and not allowed to come down?

You have to know that everyone in the Sihe Academy was gathered here.

If he just walked away like this, he would definitely be criticized.

The Deaf Old Lady also decisively pretended not to hear anything at this time, her face full of an "it has nothing to do with me" expression.

"Chief Engineer Chen, no matter what, 600 yuan is really too much."

"Can you see if we can pay a little less, maybe 500 or 400?"

"If it's more than that, we really can't scrape it together..."

First Uncle had no choice but to accept his fate after being pushed onto the stage.

He carefully calculated that if the Jia family and Sha Zhu could take out a portion, then 500 yuan could be scraped together.

And Chen Tian also knew that the Jia family definitely couldn't scrape together this money.

But if he could make First Uncle and Sha Zhu suffer, he would be more than happy.

"No, 600 is 600 as agreed."

"Either pay the money, or I'll go to the station now."

"And I'm also considering it for your Jia family; if there's one less person to feed in the future, your living pressure will be reduced a lot."

Chen Tian didn't give an inch and retorted.

Hearing his words, First Uncle's face turned even darker; he didn't expect the other party to be so heartless.

You have to know that such a large sum of money would take even him half a year to save.

"Mother-in-law, stop sleeping, wake up quickly."

"Hurry up and take out your private money, otherwise your grandson will have to go to jail."

Mrs. Jia woke up slowly, and upon hearing the word "money," she became anxious on the spot.

"You jinx, how dare you ask me for money!"

"How can you expect a widow like me to find money!"

Hearing this, Qin Huairu cried again.

"When Dongxu had an accident back then, didn't the factory pay a sum?"

"I remember that money was kept by you, right?"

Hearing these two sentences, Mrs. Jia's face turned red instantly, and her fat shook.

"What kind of fart are you letting out!"

"That's the money exchanged for my son's second half of his life!"

"That's for my future retirement, don't you dare have any ideas about it."

Seeing her still struggling, First Uncle became a little impatient.

"Stop it, Aunt Zhang."

"What time is it now, and you're still talking about your son's future happiness?"

"Your grandson is about to be arrested, hurry up and take out the money!"

"You have to know that Bang Geng is your grandson, you also have responsibility in this matter, and abetting a crime is also punishable!"

"Qin Huairu, come with me to get the money!"

First Uncle said this and dragged Qin Huairu into the Jia family's inner room.

And after digging out Mrs. Jia's retirement money, First Uncle's eyes turned red instantly!

He never expected that Mrs. Jia's so-called retirement money would actually be 300 yuan!

The other party was clearly rich, but usually pretended to be poor, letting others help them.

Even every day she pretended to be hungry and thirsty, walking around the courtyard.

This few hundred yuan was the compensation from the factory for her son Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu spent a little bit when he went to the hospital back then, and the rest was all kept by Mrs. Jia as private money.

"Huairu, I only have this much now."

Sha Zhu said, taking out dozens of yuan from his arms and handing them to Qin Huairu.

These dozens of yuan were what he had saved before, and what he had borrowed from his sister He Yushui.

And First Uncle, seeing this scene, became even angrier.

Good for you, Sha Zhu, you have money but don't think about paying back the debt!

But since it was said to be his savings, First Uncle couldn't argue with him.

And the remaining money had to be paid by First Uncle himself.

Just like that, they scraped together 600 yuan, and First Uncle took it to Chen Tian.

At this moment, he was as depressed as he could be.

His retirement plan hadn't made any progress, and he had already spent so much money.

This was his savings that he had kept for a long time.

Sha Zhu's face was also as black as the bottom of a pot; his savings had also been emptied.

"Sister Xiaoe, thank you just now."

Chen Tian counted the money, not forgetting to thank Lou Xiaoe nearby.

"Chief Engineer Chen, you don't have to be so polite with me!"

"I've long wanted to teach these bastards a lesson; this can be considered venting my anger."

Xu Damao was smiling foolishly on the side; he was so excited today.

The farce ended here, and everyone returned to their own courtyards.

Because her savings were emptied, Mrs. Jia simply lay on the ground and continued to make a scene.

In the end, it was Sha Zhu and First Uncle who dragged her home.

Such a fat hag really exhausted the two of them.

And the reason she was so well-fed was all because of the bootlicker Sha Zhu.
