She could not replay the past with her superpower. She could only try to catch the suspect red-handed.
Qiao Xuan suddenly had an idea flashing across her mind. Did Ms. Zhang arrange everything herself?
She was totally startled.
That could not be possible. It would not be the case, right?
But when this notion hit her mind, Qiao Xuan started to get skeptical.
Ms. Zhang could take Shao Xianwen away without letting anyone notice that.
She also seemed to have such a good sleep the night before…
She even insisted that the first section of the family should never report the case to the governmental office.
Most importantly, she was the one who found the letter, whilst no one had any idea how the letter arrived at the door.
Ms. Zhang could just bring out the letter herself, secretly!
She had been crying loudly, but she did not seem to be very worried about her son. On the other hand, Second Uncle and Shao Erlang were very anxious and looked heavily-struck. It was the same for Ms. Niu.
Ms. Zhang even had the time to blame her and kept stressing about the 100 liang…
In modern society, science and technology were vastly developed, and there were many strange cases and hot topics going on in the society. In many cases, results turned out to be really startling.
There were enough parents who harmed their children.
With those as the base, Qiao Xuan subconsciously became skeptical towards Ms. Zhang. Maybe other people would not think . But Qiao Xuan had witnessed such cases. So, she suddenly found that it was very likely, after all.
But this was just her suspicion. There was no evidence for that.
So, she was not going to say it out loud.
Soon, Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle came out in the hall. They were wearing bad looks on their faces. Qiao Xuan went up and greeted them, suggesting that she would follow them to the second section of the family. She was going to go with the flow to look for some anomalies.
It seemed that her father-in-law suggested offering 100 liang to get back Shao Xianwen, whilst her mother-in-law must have argued with him over that.
When they reached the second section of the family, Second Uncle and Shao Erlang were back. Some villagers were at their place too. They kept raising some ideas. Ms. Niu was crying about losing the grandchild and not being able to offer so much money.
Qiao Xuan knew clearly that they definitely could not gather 100 liang, unless Ms. Yan offered her private savings.
The Yan Family’s business was going upwards. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan got 80 liang when they only had 20% of the profits. In this case, Ms. Yan must have got 40 liang for her portion. Her dowry as well as Ms. Niu’s savings would add up to 100 liang.
Seeing Eldest Uncle and Ms. Fang, Second Uncle’s face brightened. “Eldest Brother…
“Second Brother, you can gather some money and we can loan you a dozen liang. But you have to tell us how you will pay it back.” Before Eldest Uncle finished his words, Ms. Fang cut in.
Second Uncle got very furious. “Eldest Sister-in-law, are you crazy? How can you say such words right now?”
Ms. Fang sneered. “Why not? You can’t be thinking about getting money from us for free, or are you? That is not good, right?”
Qiao Xuan smiled.. “Mom is absolutely right! If someone hides the child and pretends to put on a kidnapping show to blackmail us, that would make them rich conveniently, right?”
