Boss Mei was anxiously sending out Fu Dajin and Zhou Shi. They were also waiting for the two children, worried sick. When they saw them appear, their hearts finally calmed down.

"Young master, young lady, you've finally arrived." Master Mei's eyes lit up when he saw the two youngsters. They were the color of gold.

Tang Xian led Fu Jiujiu into the shop with big strides. Boss Mei ordered the shop assistant to bring out the best tea again.

You can't save money on things that are important. It's worth spending money to protect your child.

When Tang Xian and Fu Jiujiu sat down, Boss Mei put out a silver note with a fake smile. “Young master, this is the interest on your savings last month, and this is the principal, totaling four thousand taels. Please take it.”

He had spoken so generously, yet when Tang Xian really went to take the silver notes, he pressed down on them and wouldn't let her draw them out.

Tang Xian looked down at him, "What do you mean? Not letting me take it?"

"Of course not," Boss Mei denied. He remembered the two kids saying they had more money, and he wanted it all.

Before Tang Xian could ask further, he continued, "I think, young master, it would be better if you kept the money for another month. By then, with both principal and interest, it would be eight thousand taels. Of course, if you put in more, the return would be greater. Our bank's business outside is booming now. I see that you, young master, and I are kindred spirits. I want to let you share in the profits."

Tang Xian thought about it and nodded frequently. This action made Boss Mei feel hopeful, he could cheat more money.

"Young master, this opportunity is not common. This time, only those who invest ten thousand taels of silver have the chance to receive a share of the profits. What do you think about your side..."

“Only ten thousand taels of silver? My seventh brother has tens of thousands!” Fu Jiujiu’s innocent look made Boss Mei believe she was a big fat sheep.

“The more, the better, and the more points you get, sir. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!” Boss Mei seemed rather eager.

If he hadn't investigated this kid's background, he wouldn't have believed that this kid actually had so much money.

Tang Xian nodded. "Money isn't a problem, the problem is..."

“What’s the problem? You said, if you have any orders, I will definitely do it.” Mr. Mei eagerly wanted to take silver from Tang Xian's pocket.

"The problem is, I have to bring the money back and prove to my father that I've earned it. Then I can get the 100,000 taels he prepared for me."

"Ten thousand taels?" Boss Mei almost laughed until his face bloomed.

He stifled his excitement, "Good, good, one hundred thousand taels, then it will be two hundred thousand taels."

Tang Xian looked at Boss Mei's ugly face and felt disgusted. He could have just paid and left, and he couldn't stop him either, but dealing with such a villain, he should let him taste the suffering of those he had hurt.

"That money..."

Boss Mei was also dazzled, having been overwhelmed by 100,000 taels. At this moment, his mood was similar to that of Fu Dajing and Zhou's couple back then, thinking that a big pie had fallen from the sky.

Here you go.

Tang Xian glanced at the bank note, but didn't immediately stuff it into his pocket. He looked like someone who had seen a lot of trouble before.

This move also made the old fox, Mr. Mei, even more convinced that the elegant young man in front of him was truly a rich family's son.

Mr. Mei sent the two men out of the pawnshop politely, seeing them all the way to their carriage.

Whose child is this, so innocent and wealthy...

On the other hand, Zhou limped away, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She had already started walking back, but she couldn't swallow her anger and turned around to confront her sister-in-law.

After all, this matter was initiated by Chiang Hsi-liang.

Chiang Hsi-liang received fifty taels, just enough to pay off his thirty-tael gambling debt. The rest of the money he used to buy wine and meat and ate it at home.

On Tuesday, elder sister learned some of the details. Although her younger sister had been having a good time lately, which made her jealous, she still felt bad that they had been scammed out of so much money.

Zhou walked halfway and couldn't go on, Fu Dajing still carried her to Chiang's house. When they reached the door, Zhou started scolding.

"Jiang Fuguì, you blackhearted bastard, come out here and give us back our blood and sweat!"

Jiang Fugui had long known this would happen, he wasn't flustered at all. He signaled Zhou Erjie to go out and send them away.

On Tuesday, Sister remained unmoved. “I won’t clean up your mess," she said, "You did something wrong and you need to take care of it yourself."

The man glared at her angrily, "Don't be shameless. When I was making money, did you starve or have no clothes to wear? Besides, it's because of me and your sister that you are so successful now, don't you think I'm beneath you? I just did this to teach them a lesson for you."

"Go away, I'm in a good mood today and don't want to beat you up. Don't push me to do it."

On Tuesday, Sister gave him a glare but still went out with her head down.

She glanced at her sister and brother-in-law, who were adorned in festive attire, but dared not meet their eyes. "What's all the commotion about? There are no elders or juniors here?"

Zhou Shi was furious, "I have both big and small matters to attend to, but what your husband has done is a major issue! He cheated us out of so much money, two hundred taels with interest! Are you even human?"

On Tuesday, her sister braced herself and said, "Who cheated you out of 200 taels? Don't talk nonsense, go back quickly."

"I'm not going back, you damn woman! You and your man are crooks for taking our money and smoking it up. Get back our money right now!"

Fu Dajin has a good temper and knows that arguing is useless. "Second sister, please get your brother-in-law out here. It was him who told us that the money was safe there at the time, but now we don't have a penny left! He needs to give us an explanation!"

"What are you saying? I don't know, your brother-in-law isn't home. The two of you had better leave quickly." Second Sister knew she was in the wrong and didn't want to argue; she just wanted to get rid of them.

"How could Zhou's family just swallow this injustice? You don't know? Who are you trying to fool? I saw clearly that both of you colluded with Mr. Mei to swindle us out of our money. Zhou Er Ya, you've really turned black-hearted! You even betray your own sister. Are you still human?"

Tuesday, Sister's guilt also disappeared after seeing Fu Dagin's love for her sister.

Before this, she was the best married out of the three sisters, and she also had a son. But all the hardships here, only she knows.

Jiang Fuguang eats, drinks, gambles, and whors; he's not a good man at all. When he's drunk, he gets violent with her.

"Wednesday, you shouldn't be so shameless. I already said that I don't know what's going on between you two. Besides, even if there is something, it's your own fault for believing him."

That's true, Zhou Erjie thinks it's ridiculous that her sister and brother-in-law, who are so foolish, could actually earn so much money. She's jealous.

Even felt they deserved it, so naive, if not take advantage of them, who would?

"Me..." Zhou shi was furious, "If it wasn't because he is my second sister-in-law's husband, I wouldn't believe him!"

"No one told you to trust me, get out of here quickly. I have something else to do." Zhou Erjie didn't want to look at the two people in front of her.

Fu Dajin's kindness to his sister pierced her eyes.

"Second Sister, we don't want to make a big fuss either, but Second Brother-in-law has to give us an explanation, right?" Fu Dagjin said politely.

"I can't handle this, you guys go."

"Tuesday, sis, don't you have anything to do?"

On Tuesday, Sister Zhou gave the Zhou family a cold stare. "Then let's not do it," she said.
