Chapter 264 The Non-Existent Grandfather-Grandson Relationship

"Sir, how capable do you think we are? How can we have such a high status in Jiang's office?"

"I'll tell you the truth. Do you know why Manager Ji, who used to be with Mr. Jiang, didn't go with Mr. Jiang?" Mei'er looked at the Zhao family.

The Zhao family members avoided her sight one by one.

Didn’t they dare to come here just because they saw that Jiang’s people had left?

"Humph! That's because they are worried about us, so they stayed behind to watch over the workshop! They will definitely come in to check in the next two days. If they find out that you stole the silver, they will still report it to the police."

"And you should think it through, grandpa and grandma. The Jiang family is a well-known family. The county magistrate should give them some face. If they really report it to the police, do you think your family will be okay?"

Mei'er scared the Zhao family half-truthfully.

When they heard the word "Jiang Ji", the expressions of the other Zhao family members changed except Zhao Xiaobao.

They broke into the house while Jiang Ji's people were not around just to avoid Jiang Ji. They could get more benefits by attacking the weak one.

But now the silver is gone, and it is the silver that Jiang Ji used for the workshop. If they really report it to the government, will their family be able to survive?

"Mei'er, Mei'er, listen to me." Zhao Tiansheng wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Mei'er, we are a family after all, you have to help us. Otherwise, if something happens to our family, who will support you after you three sisters get married?"

"You three sisters, your mother didn't give you a brother, if you are bullied, you can only look for your second uncle and fourth uncle."

"So you see, can you accept this silver? You work for Jiang Ji, so this ten taels of silver should not be a big deal. Jiang Ji will not pursue it for your sake."

Wow! What a loud abacus sound!

It seemed like every word was for the good of the three sisters, but in fact it was full of threats, and every word was meant to push them into the fire pit.

"Master, you don't have to worry about our future marriage. My mother and Aunt Zheng will make the decision for us."

"As for the silver, we can't do anything about it. If you really don't hand it over, we'll have no choice but to take you to the authorities. Manager Ji is in the city right now, so we'll let him handle it when the time comes."

"Uncle Jiaxiang, take them away!"

Mei'er waved her hand, and the people in the workshop pretended to drag the Zhao family away.

"Mei'er! Mei'er! Let's talk it over! We are a family!" Old man Zhao was so anxious that he wanted to hold Mei'er.

Mei'er dodged.

"Bah! You little bitch! You're such a conscienceless bastard! You're actually sending your own grandparents to jail! God, please open your eyes! Chop this little beast to death!"

Seeing that Mei'er was not moved by any persuasion, Mrs. Zhao no longer cared about anything else. She tried her best to resist and not let them take her away, while cursing all the while.

Mei'er didn't care: "Grandma, I don't know if God will strike you down, but the county magistrate is going to punish you soon, take you away!"

"Mei'er! Mei'er! Don't listen to your grandma. She is a piece of shit! She knows nothing! We can't go to the county government! Please help us. We are a family. You can't just stand by and watch us die."

Seeing Old Man Zhao sweating profusely in anxiety, Mei knew that her goal had been achieved.

"Master, it's not that I won't help you. Didn't I just tell you that as long as you give us fifteen taels of silver, our matter today will be over."

Upon hearing this, the wrinkles on Old Man Zhao's forehead seemed to be enough to pinch a mosquito to death.

"Where can we find fifteen taels of silver? Mei'er, you know our family has had a hard time these years. Please have pity on your grandparents and help us with the ten taels of silver from Jiang's. As for the other five taels, we are all family, so let it go."

Wow! Everything is arranged clearly. Does that mean I don’t have to do anything?

The village chief couldn't stand it anymore.

"Zhao Tiansheng, what you said is totally unreasonable. It was clearly the money you stole, so why are you asking them to pay it back?"

"And you just want to forget about the money for the medicine and the broken things? Do you think you should just let these kids be beaten up, and don't have to spend money to make new tables and chairs?"

"Exactly, where does that face come from!"

"You know, his family has always been shameless."

......

The villagers were also talking about it.

"What does this have to do with you? You have nothing better to do than to meddle in our affairs. Get out of here..."

"Shut up!"

Before Mrs. Zhao could finish her scolding, she was stopped by Old Man Zhao's angry shout.

After scolding Old Lady Zhao, Old Man Zhao put on a smile and explained to the village chief.

"Village head, please don't bother with my old woman. Women don't know much. We are just discussing this with Mei'er."

The village chief snorted and ignored him.

I have been the village chief for so many years, but today is the only day I was scolded by others.

"Grandpa, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. Either you take the money or hand yourself over to the authorities. Make your own choice!" Mei'er asked them to choose directly.

"Oh, you are going to force me, an old woman, to death. The ancestors of the Zhao family, Zhao Tiansheng and I are so unfilial that we raised such a rebellious child!" Old Mrs. Zhao started howling again.

"Grandma, you are indeed unfilial, otherwise how could you raise so many of these things. Your lives have been getting worse and worse over the years. It's hard to say whether this is a punishment from our ancestors!" Mei'er remained calm.

"you......"

"Oh, by the way, if you can howl as much as you want on the way to the county town, we can't wait any longer now. Uncle, take them away, I've heard enough of this nonsense."

After saying this, without waiting for everyone to react, Mei'er had already walked to the door. Chen Jiaxiang and his group then reacted and hurriedly tried to pull the Zhao family out.

Seeing that he was about to be caught, Old Man Zhao dodged to the side and called Mei'er.

"Wait! Isn't it just compensation? Can't we just pay it?"

"Old man!"

"father!"

The Zhao family forgot to struggle and screamed.

"Mei'er, we'll compensate you, but don't send us to see the authorities." After saying this, Old Man Zhao collapsed completely to the ground.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you did this earlier, Grandpa? Why are you doing this?" Mei'er walked back and looked down at Old Man Zhao.

"Mei'er, we accept the loss of the ten taels of silver! We will pay for it! But since we are all one family, we don't need to pay for the five taels of silver."

Old man Zhao stared at Mei'er viciously, his eyes full of threats.

"Fifteen taels, not a penny less, otherwise go to the county government office and talk. Anyway, the county magistrate has sentenced you, and I can still get the money." Mei'er did not give in.

"You little whore..."

"Grandma! I advise you to save your energy. When you are in prison, you won't be able to shout!" Tao'er glared at Old Mrs. Zhao.

This glance actually frightened Old Mrs. Zhao.

"Let's go. Since they want to go to the county government office, let's take them there."

Mei'er pretended to leave.

"Okay! Fifteen taels!" Old Man Zhao clenched his fists tightly. "But Mei'er's family really doesn't have fifteen taels. Can you give us a few days?"

"No." Mei'er refused bluntly, "Either give it to me now, or we go see the official."

Mei'er knew that the Zhao family could definitely come up with the fifteen taels. During those years, her family worked like slaves for the Zhao family. Later, after the family split up, the Zhao family would come to ask for money at any time.

This old lady Zhao was like a Pixiu, trying hard to pull things into her arms. Although these fifteen taels could hurt the vitality of the Zhao family, they were far from enough to damage the foundation of the Zhao family.

Although the Zhao family has not been living as well as before in recent years, they have never cared about farm matters, which shows that they still have some assets.

"Mei'er, fifteen taels is not a small amount!"

Old man Zhao once again tried to awaken the non-existent grandfather-grandson relationship.

"It's not much, but didn't you secretly take away ten taels? Why don't you take it out and take five taels for yourself?"
