Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.

Tian Xiaohui didn't finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.

Of all the people who went to the kitchen, only Qin Nan did.

The money is gone now.

If it wasn't her, who else could it be?

"You...you stop making baseless accusations!"

"Don't think you can bully me just because you outnumber me. I think you're just lying on purpose."

"Who knows if you put the money in or not? Besides, two thousand yuan is a huge sum of money. It's hard to say whether you even have that much money."

"I think you're just trying to extort me, saying this on purpose. Your Tian family is so shameless; it seems I misjudged you. I'm not going through with this marriage!"

As Qin Nan spoke, she made to rush out the door.

How could Tian Xiaohui let her have her way? Without making a sound, she stretched out her hands and blocked the door.

"Miss Qin, this is not a matter of whether you get married or not."

"As you said yourself, two thousand yuan is a huge sum of money, and this matter must be clarified."

"You say you didn't take it? That's easy, a quick search will reveal the truth, won't it?"

In the end, Tian Xiaohui took action.

"What...what are you doing?"

Qin Nan immediately struggled and fought back fiercely.

But just as the two were entangled, a bunch of ten-yuan bills suddenly fell out of Qin Nan's arms.

The Tian family members, who had been standing there stunned, immediately believed Ye Chen's words upon seeing this.

Tian Jianzhong was the first to stand up, grabbing Qin Nan's arm and demanding, "You keep saying you didn't take the money, so what happened to it?"

"Don't try to frame me like that. I brought this money with me when I came here; it's clearly my money!"

Qin Nan completely ignored Tian Jianzhong's ashen face, and instead squatted down to pick up the banknotes one by one.

Finally, he put his hands on his hips and said confidently.

"I earned this money through my own abilities, what right do you have to frame me?"

"You say this is your money, but does that mean it will respond if you call it?"

Such shameless words made Tian Jianzhong laugh in anger. Qin Nan never left the house and her family was poor. Even if they sold her, they couldn't raise two thousand yuan.

To say such shameless things now clearly shows that he's only after money.

They wanted to keep those two thousand for themselves.

"You, you, you..." Tian Jianzhong stammered for a moment.

He was not good with words and couldn't think of any rebuttal.

At this critical moment, Ye Chen finally stood up. Since he had designed this play, he must have already thought of a solution.

"The money doesn't call out, but I marked it. I put a little dust on the bottom right corner of every single one here."

"Didn't you say the money was yours? Take it out and compare it; then you'll know who's lying."

"So what if the money gets a little dusty? It's something we use every day anyway, that's no excuse!" Qin Nan retorted stubbornly.

Ye Chen's smile deepened; naturally, he couldn't leave behind just this one piece of evidence.

"It's normal for bills to get dusty, but each bill has a serial number, Miss Qin, you should know that, right?"

"My money is all prepared in bundles, and each bill is consecutive, with the first few digits being the same."

"I can accurately recite the preceding numbers, so there's no way I can fake it now, right?"

"Ye Chen, you really have a way with things!" Tian Xiaohui couldn't help but praise him from the side.

Qin Nan, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded, standing there blankly with a vacant look in her eyes.

"Ms. Qin, if you don't admit it, then we'll have no choice but to go to the police station."

"However, I must remind you that once you get to the police station, even if you admit that the money is mine and return it, it will still be considered a violation of the law."

"Let's settle this privately. I can let bygones be bygones. But if it really goes to court, you'll be locked up for at least five years!"

"Miss Qin, I don't have time to argue with you. I'll give you half a minute to consider whether you want to admit it or not. It's up to you!"

Ye Chen spoke again, delivering a fatal blow!

For a moment, the entire room fell silent as the Tian family members all looked at Qin Nan, waiting quietly for her reaction.

"I...I didn't mean to!"

In just a few breaths, Qin Nan couldn't hold back any longer.

She's just a rural woman, how could she possibly withstand such pressure?

With a sob in her voice, Qin Nan apologized to Ye Chen, "Brother-in-law, I really didn't want to take this money. I was just thinking that there are many expenses for a wedding, and I was also thinking about Jianzhong and me."

"Brother-in-law, please forgive me, considering we're family."

"I'll return the money to you right now, please, don't send me to the police station."

"Hehe, Miss Qin, you misspoke. I'm not your brother-in-law, and we're not family. What makes you think that after things have come to this, the Tian family would still want you as their daughter-in-law?"

Ye Chen sneered, his eyes scanning the entire room as he spoke.

"Dad, Mom, and Jianzhong, I've taken the liberty of rejecting this marriage. I hope you won't object?"

"Marrying a petty thief would be a real hassle."

"Here's what we'll do: consider this two thousand as my contribution to the wedding. You can take it first. With the money, find Jianzhong a good wife. At least we shouldn't be doing this kind of swindling and cheating."

As Ye Chen spoke, he took the two thousand yuan and then handed it to Tian Jianzhong.

This action deeply moved the Tian family.

That's two thousand yuan!

In a county town, a regular employee would need at least four or five years to save enough money after deducting living expenses!

Ye Chen just gave it to his brother-in-law without even blinking?

Who would dare say Ye Chen is a coward? Who would dare say Ye Chen treats Tian Xiaohui badly?

Such a huge sum of money in one go.

Even fathers and sons might not be able to bear to part with each other!

"Brother-in-law, you..." Tian Jianzhong held a stack of ten-yuan bills, feeling a lump in his throat.

He couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Ye Chen smiled and waved his hand: "Because of me, your sister hasn't been able to take care of this family in the past few years. Consider this money as my way of showing filial piety to the family on behalf of your sister."

"Originally, if Miss Qin had passed the test, she would have received a share of the money."

"It's just a pity that some people can be known by their appearance but not their heart; ultimately, they can't be trusted!"

"Alright, that's enough, Qin Nan. You can leave now. From today onwards, our two families will have no further connection, and the marriage we agreed on before is off."

Finally, the head of the family, Tian Zhenguo, stepped in and drove Qin Nan away.

These words were tantamount to making a decision on the matter immediately!

Qin Nan stared intently at the large denomination of yuan in Tian Jianzhong's hand, her heart filled with regret.

Ye Chen's words were like a fatal blow to the soul!

Qin Nan, Qin Nan, why are you so greedy?

This money was originally yours, why are you so greedy?

No, that has nothing to do with me. It's clearly Ye Chen who's too despicable!

He deliberately used that much money to lure me in!

Which cadre can withstand such a test?

I did nothing wrong; I was just acting out of common sense. The one who was wrong was Ye Chen!

Qin Nan struggled internally for a moment, and finally, she suddenly raised her head and uttered a harsh remark.

"The Tian family, you're really something! Just you wait and see!"
