538 Cannot Call the Police
“What! What’s wrong with me looking for her! She doesn’t need any status! I’m going to divorce Li Gui now! I can’t take it anymore!” Zhang Qian roared.
Old Madam Zhang scolded him angrily, “Who will give you money if you leave Li Gui! Don’t tell me you’re going to raise those children yourself!”
At this moment, Zhang Cong had also returned from work. The news of Zhang Qian and Chu Xin having an ambiguous relationship had spread throughout the neighborhood. Now that Chu Xin had run away, it was obvious that Zhang Qian had been scammed.
“Dad! I just came back from the factory! Why did you quit?” Zhang Cong asked as he rushed in.
When Old Madam Zhang heard that Zhang Qian had resigned, she stood up shakily with her walking stick and said, “You! You actually resigned from your job at the factory! Do you want your entire family to starve!”
Back then, this job was handed over to Zhang Qian after Old Master Zhang retired. The people in the factory were already unhappy with Zhang Qian because he lazed around all day long and even stole things from the company. Now that Zhang Qian resigned on his own, it was like a slap in the face for the Zhang family.
“You unfilial son! Are you trying to anger me to death!” Old Master Zhang shouted.
Zhang Qian sat on the chair indifferently and said, “I don’t want to work there anymore! I don’t believe that I won’t be able to survive after leaving the factory!”
Hearing the commotion outside, Sun Yan quietly walked out of the bedroom and stood at the side to join in. Ever since she married into the family, this was the first time she had seen the family arguing so fiercely.
Only then did Zhang Cong realize something. Now that Chu Xin had left, what about his 1,000 dollars reward?
“Where’s my 1,000 dollars! Where’s Chu Xin! Give me my 1,000 dollars!” Zhang Cong shouted as he pointed at Zhang Qian.
“What 1,000 dollars? Where did you get so much money?” Sun Yan asked curiously.
Old Madam Zhang also stared at Zhang Cong. All the money belonging to the family, no matter the amount, had to be handed over to her. She wondered what kind of windfall Zhang Cong had to have to be able to save up 1,000 dollars.
“His lover sold Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin for a lot of money! His lover promised me 1,000 dollars as compensation for the hard work. I just heard from the neighbors downstairs that his lover ran away early in the morning with all her luggage! She has probably left the city by now!” Zhang Cong said.
When Old Madam Zhang heard this, she almost fainted from anger. It was fine if he sold Zhang Qin and Zhang Miao, but no matter what, Zhang Wei and Zhang Chao were still sons of the Zhang family!
After Li Gui brought them up, they would be grown men who could earn money for the family. At that time, the money they earned would have to be handed over to Old Madam Zhang.
Old Master Zhang raised the smoking pipe in his hand and wanted to throw it at Zhang Qian. That kid was part of the continuation of the Zhang family’s lineage! How could he sell the boy!
“Return Zhang Chao to me! Go and get Zhang Chao back for me! That’s a male Zhang family member! He’s a descendant of our Zhang family! How can you sell him just like that!” Old Madam Zhang cried.
Sun Yan was also shocked when she heard this. Everyone told her that she was expecting a boy whenever they saw her. If her son was taken away by Zhang Qian to be sold after she gave birth, that would be like killing her!
No! She could not stay in such a family anymore! She wanted to go back to her parents’ house!
“What’s with all the noise! How would I know that she’s a scammer! Besides, what if it’s because she has something urgent to do in her hometown! And she doesn’t have time to tell me!” Zhang Qian said vaguely.
“Do you believe what you’re saying! As if she didn’t scam you! As if you know where her hometown is! Call the police quickly! Find my grandson!” Old Madam Zhang said.
When Zhang Qian thought about it carefully, he realized that he actually did not know where Chu Xin’s hometown was. He recalled that he had never seen any of Chu Xin’s identification documents, not even any of her money. After living together for three months, other than knowing how Chu Xin behaved in bed, he did not know anything else about her.
“I… I don’t know…” Only then did Zhang Qian realize that Chu Xin did not even like him at all, but was only after his children.
She specialized in seducing men so that they would bring their children to her to sell them. This way, there was no loss to her and yet she got to keep all the money.
It was possible that her name was not Chu Xin at all! Chu Xin was just a fake name!
“Then what are you waiting for? Call the police now!” Old Master Zhang shouted anxiously.
“No! We can’t call the police! If we call the police, my father and I will have to go to jail! We’re the ones who brought the children here, not Chu Xin,” Zhang Cong shouted nervously.
