Ms. Yan sounded sarcastic.

Her family’s business was doing well, and they had expanded the scope. They were very busy these days, and the profits were plentiful. The whole family was very motivated.

Therefore, Shao Erlang was hired to work there as well.

Shao Silang had been promoted to become a manager.

Shao Silang was paid 3 liang a month, and he only gave 2 out of those towards the shared savings, and kept one for their own use.

Shao Erlang was not as well-treated as the son-in-law of the Yan Family, and was working as a minor employee. He was paid according to how much he worked. His salary was no more than 2-3 qian a month.

Ms. Zhang had only paid half a month’s shared savings and was already asking her mother-in-law for 10 liang for her mother’s family. She even said that Shao Erlang could pay that back with his salary as if his salary was huge.

More importantly, Ms. Zhang came to her twice and asked her to tell her mother’s family to promote Shao Erlang as a manager. In this way, he could be paid more and work less. She turned her down and Ms. Zhang was very irritated by her.

Qiao Xuan asked again. “Did the Second Aunt-in-law give the money to her?”

Ms. Yan looked amused. “Of course not. I even heard the Second Sister-in-law blaming the Second Brother in secret.”

Qiao Xuan sneered. “Good. Her mother’s family needs money and her mother-in-law refuses to help. She must be feeling really annoyed…”

When she had the grudge and needed money, it would not be strange if she had some weird ideas in her head.

Ms.Yan.

That was true. But she felt that her Fifth Sister-in-law was implying something else.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Fourth Cousin-in-law, I have some guesses, but I can’t say those out now, because 1 am not sure if I am right. Fourth Cousin-in-law, please don’t share my words with anyone else.”

Ms. Yan felt relieved. She nodded with a smile. “Don’t worry, Fifth

Sister-in-law, I will keep my mouth tightly sealed.”

Qiao Xuan could not tell Ms. Fang about this and instead, mentioned her guess to Shao Yunduan.

Shao Yunduan seemed really calm hearing her words. He believed her instantly.

Qiao Xuan was surprised. She smiled. “Darling, you believe me?”

Shao Yunduan smiled. “Your words have a ground, and I think that your guess is quite possible. You aren’t the kind of person who spreads rumors.”

Qiao Xuan felt sweetness in her heart. “Good. 1 don’t need to explain a thing. Darling, what do you think we should do about it?”

Shao Yunduan said, “l will get Second Cousin and Shao Xiaoqi to keep an eye out on Ms. Zhangs family. Ms. Zhang can’t be the only one planning this.”

Ms. Zhang would not be able to carry it out alone. Moreover, she would not combine forces with someone outside the family. She needed to keep her reputation. If someone outside the family knew about her plan, she would have no way to keep her head up in her life, ever again.

So, she had most probably done this with the Zhang Family.

If they monitored the Zhang Family, they may find something interesting.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Thanks for your efforts, Darling!’

Soon, 100 liang was gathered. Ms. Niu had to offer 20 liang and Ms. Fang lent them the remaining 80. Shao Erlang and Shao Silang would need to pay back Ms. Fang with their money every month in the years to come.

Ms. Niu and Second Uncle cared about their grandson, so they had to agree to the deal.

When the money was gathered, Ms. Zhang went to drop the money as the blackmailer had instructed.

The blackmailer told her to come alone and Ms. Zhang insisted on following the instructions.. So, she set off by herself…
