Chapter 68

Counting Mrs. Jia's coffin money and the gold ring, it totaled 700 yuan, still 100 yuan short.

Chen Tian's attitude was firm; without 800 yuan, he would send Mrs. Jia to jail.

"First Uncle, be kind and help Qin Huairu."

"The three Bang Geng siblings are still young; if Mother Zhang really goes to jail, who will take care of them?"

"Qin Huairu is already pitiful enough; let's help her," Seeing Sha Zhu had no choice but to beg Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing Sha Zhu knew Yi Zhonghai had money.

With a monthly salary of 99 yuan, for two people to spend, no matter how they spent it, they couldn't finish it.

Yi Zhonghai was helpless and could only lend Seeing Sha Zhu 100 yuan.

Back and forth, he had already lent Seeing Sha Zhu several hundred yuan.

Looking at Seeing Sha Zhu's state, he didn't intend to pay it back either.

"What a pity, I wanted to send you to jail."

"Mrs. Jia, consider yourself lucky to have a good daughter-in-law."

"If you dare to cause trouble again, I'll kill you."

Chen Tian took the money and the gold ring from Qin Huairu's hands and said with a dark face.

Mrs. Jia stared fixedly at the money and her gold ring in Chen Tian's hands, so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices, her chest heaving violently.

"Everyone look, Mrs. Jia is truly wealthy; she actually has so much coffin money."

"I really can't understand it; with so much money, she still cries poor all day, tricking others into helping her—she's truly thick-skinned."

Chen Tian didn't forget to mock Mrs. Jia.

Everyone agreed one after another; today they had seen Mrs. Jia's true face, and in the future, no one would be foolish enough to help their family again.

"Mrs. Jia, come with us; after paying the compensation, we'll lock you up for three days so you can reflect on yourself."

Section Chief Wang grabbed Mrs. Jia and took her away.

Mrs. Jia had paid the money and was still going to be locked up for three days; she was so angry she coughed up blood.

Chen Tian put the money into an envelope, and before going home, he smiled at Seeing Sha Zhu and said: "Tsk tsk tsk, Seeing Sha Zhu, you really are wealthy, having saved up 400 yuan of wife-money."

"Thank you; with this money, I can afford the 'three rounds and one sound,' and I'll be able to marry a wife soon."

Seeing Sha Zhu was fuming, but he didn't dare to refute.

Xu Damao gloated; Seeing Sha Zhu had suffered a major loss today.

The crowd gradually dispersed, all saying that Silly Zhu was a sucker, getting beaten up for standing up for the Jia family, and even taking out his own marriage savings to compensate for Mrs. Jia—they really didn't know what he was aiming for.
