In the afternoon, when receiving the first installment of the resettlement payment, they need the Old Lady to be present and sign the agreement, or at least have an authorization letter, otherwise they won’t get the money.

With Yu Minglang blocking the way, Second Maternal Uncle couldn’t get hold of the elder. Under Second Maternal Aunt’s instigation, they came up with this rotten idea, but they didn’t expect to run into Yu Minglang’s muzzle.

“Ya Ming, I’ll leave the lawsuit to you. I have to go back to the army tomorrow, so I might not be able to follow up on this.” Yu Minglang patted his friend’s shoulder.

Ya Ming nodded, “The urgent matter is to invalidate the authorization letter in their hands. If, according to you, the elder has already lost her civil capacity due to dementia, their actions definitely warrant a lawsuit. As for breaking into a private residence and drugging the elder, we can sue them for that too.”

Yu Minglang nodded, knowing he could handle this matter but wasn’t able to find the time; leaving it to his friend would save Xiao Qian from worrying.

Jia Xiufang was greatly shocked, “Drugging the elder!!!”

How immoral must one be to do this? She could understand if they didn’t care about Mother anymore for the sake of the money, but why did they have to mess around like this? The elder was so old, and they didn’t know if their actions would hurt her or not.

“I’ve already called for an ambulance, it should be here soon,” said Yu Minglang.

Xiao Qian patted Jia Xiufang, “I’ve been telling you not to restrain scumbags with your moral values or get angry and hurt yourself over others’ mistakes. Mom, don’t worry about anything now, don’t get angry or soften, leave dealing with that family to us.”

When good meets evil, it’s always the good that gets hurt first. In order to protect the precious goodness in the hearts of those around her, she didn’t mind becoming an “evil” person.

With Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian there, Jia Xiufang didn’t have to worry at all. Yu Minglang had already arranged everything. The elder was sent to the hospital, and the doctor confirmed she had been drugged. The dosage was not large enough for stomach pumping, which made Jia Xiufang furious. After making a call to her eldest uncle, he immediately said he would come over and join Jia Xiufang in fighting against Second Maternal Uncle’s family.

Second Maternal Uncle’s family got the Old Lady’s handprint authorization letter, and excitedly went to get the money. There was 50,000 yuan from the early resettlement payment, in the form of a check The two of them were overjoyed holding the check They had the elder’s ID and documents in their possession, and fearing that the longer they waited the more things could happen, they headed straight for the bank after leaving the village committee’s office.

Everyone was waiting to receive the money, and the queue was long. Second Maternal Aunt was both anxious and triumphant while waiting.

“Chen Xiaoqian, that little troublemaker, thought she was so capable. But didn’t we still get the money in the end? It doesn’t matter that she found a soldier, they’re all poor, and she deserves to be poor for a lifetime,” said Second Maternal Aunt.

“Hurry up and get the money, I always feel a bit uneasy,” Second Maternal Uncle was still somewhat shadowed by Yu Minglang.

“What’s not to be at ease about? We have Old Lady’s handprint, her ID, and household registration book with us. The Demolition and Relocation Office recognizes these things, not people. Let them take care of the old woman, they deserve it!”

After Second Maternal Aunt finished saying this, it was her turn in line. As she was about to hand over the check and the Old Lady’s documents with joy, a hand patted her on the shoulder.

“What are you doing? Get in line and don’t cut in!” Second Maternal Aunt stared fixedly at the bank teller using the banknote counting machine, thinking she would get the money any moment now.

“Are you Hao Dapao and Zhen Xiaojie?”

Second Maternal Uncle and Second Maternal Aunt turned their heads simultaneously to see several plainclothes officers standing beside them.

We suspect you are involved in a case of breaking into a private residence and poisoning an elderly person. Please cooperate with our investigation,” said the officers.

“Who poisoned her! We just gave her some sleeping pills!” Second Uncle yelled, and Second Aunt slapped him on the face.

“You idiot! What nonsense are you talking about!”

It was over, completely over. They didn’t even need to be interrogated, and the moron had already confessed everything!

It took almost no effort to deal with these two fools. At the police station, they clearly explained the whole matter. While Second Maternal Aunt understood the law a bit, Second Maternal Uncle was unyielding, not even realizing he’d done something wrong.

At the police station, he even argued with the officers, saying that the elder was his mother and he was her son, so if the relocation payment wasn’t given to the son, was it supposed to go to the daughter? As for drugging her, it was even simpler. The Old Lady’s mind was gone, and she didn’t remember people or things. She howled and wouldn’t press her handprint, so they used some drugs, completely unaware that this was a criminal offense.

Second Maternal Uncle was still arguing, saying that the drugs couldn’t kill anyone and there was no reason to arrest him. He demanded to be released immediately because he needed to get the money, and soon the bank would close for the day…

His ignorant arguments had made people explain to him several times, but when he couldn’t understand, they lost patience and just detained him.

Yet again, Yu Minglang’s long-awaited midnight movie date was ruined.

Xiao Qian had to accompany her mother as their family was going through such troubles. Jia Xiufang was angry, upset, and heartbroken, and Xiao Qian couldn’t just leave her behind without a care.

After talking to Jia Xiufang until midnight, Xiao Qian returned to her small nest and sent a text message to Yu Minglang from her phone.

Are you asleep?

It only took less than 20 seconds for the reply to arrive, Not asleep.

At this moment, Yu Minglang had already returned to his father’s house. After settling Xiao Qian’s family matters, he went back home to be with his parents. Per chance, Father Yu was home and father and son were playing chess together.

Mother Yu had urged them several times to rest early, but the father and son were so addicted to chess that they had her make tea instead, as they couldn’t bear to stop playing.

Just as it seemed Yu Minglang was about to win against his father, a text message from Xiao Qian arrived.

Taking advantage of the moment Yu Minglang was looking at his phone, Father Yu quickly replaced the chess piece that had just been captured by Yu Minglang, and after doing so, sipped his tea nonchalantly.

The usually sharp-eyed Youngest Brother Yu didn’t notice his father’s little trick He looked at the text message on his phone and smiled slightly.

“Restrain yourself a bit, I can see your little tongue sticking out,” Father Yu teased while stealing Yu Minglang’s chess piece.

Dad, I have to go now, I’m still a child and staying up late isn’t good for me,” Yu Minglang said as he decisively got up after his phone rang indicating another text message.

The second text message from his ‘Xiao Mei’ had quite a connotation.

She just sent three words, I’m hungry.

Father Yu grabbed his son’s wrist as he tried to leave just a few hours after coming home.

“Youngest, can’t you have some morals? Finish the chess game before you leave!”

Yu Minglang glanced at the chessboard. His father had shamelessly put the chess pieces back and even regretted making a move. But even so, he could still win in another 10 minutes without leaving any pieces of his father’s untouched.

But no, ten minutes was too long. Yu Minglang didn’t want to waste even a minute.

Seeing that his father was unwilling to let go, Yu Minglang devised a plan. Suddenly, with a swift movement of both hands, he flipped the chessboard!

The chess pieces scattered all over Father Yu’s study, specifically on the Luohan bed where the father and son had been playing.

“Yu Minglang! You bastard!” Father Yu was furious, blowing his beard in rage.

Yu Minglang played innocent.

Dad, it slipped from my hand, and we can’t play anymore. I’ll come back some other day to play with you and keep you entertained,” he said.
