Chapter 393

393 Silence Fee

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Sheng washed and dried the clothes he and Yu Bing had worn. After Yu Bing secretly sneaked back to the bedroom, she took out two yuan from her bag and placed it on the desk in the bedroom as her and Xiao Sheng’s accommodation fees, food expenses, and payment for the chestnut.

She knew that if she gave it to Mr. Wang directly, he definitely wouldn’t accept it.

After the singing from the village’s radio station stopped, the three of them pushed the wheelbarrow out of the door. Mr. Wang still planned to bring them out of the village from the path they had come from yesterday.

With a weight of 1,280 pounds, even if there was a tool cart, it would take a lot of effort. Xiao Sheng took the initiative to take the wheelbarrow, while Mr. Wang and Yu Bing assisted by the side by covering the flour with the mat that Mr. Wang had made.

!!

The few of them had just walked a few meters when they heard enthusiastic calls behind them.

“Dad!”

Mr. Wang had a bad feeling. When he turned around and saw his second son and wife smiling sinisterly, while he felt guilty, he pretended to be angry as he said, “I want to go to the hospital to visit Shu Gen. Stop being a hindrance here. Get lost and go to work!”

Shu Gen was the Wang family’s third son’s youngest son. Jiang Mo and the Wang family’s second son weren’t angry at all when they heard his angry shout. Instead, they approached him with a smile.

Jiang Mo said intimately, “Dad, we’re also worried about Shu Gen, so we want to go visit Shu Gen today.”

the Wang family’s second son echoed with a smile, “That’s right. Dad, when did you make so many mats? Coincidentally, my family lacks a bed, so I’ll take one.”

With that, he reached for the mat. Xiao Sheng quickly grabbed the Wang family’s second son’s hand and looked at him coldly.

the Wang family’s second son pulled his hand back in pain. When he saw Xiao Sheng’s gaze, he was a little frightened.

Seeing this, Jiang Mo sneered. “Let’s not beat around the bush. Let’s get straight to the point. We don’t want to care if you’re relatives of the Wang family, but if you want to take the food away, you have to pay hush money!”

When Jiang Mo saw such a large amount of flour last night, she was already suspicious. After all, ordinary families didn’t need so much flour. Moreover, unless one was from a rich family, who could afford so much flour?

Therefore, Jiang Mo’s first reaction was that the two people in front of her sold things on the black market. That was a crime, so if she didn’t extort some money, it would be a waste!

After Jiang Mo laid the cards on the table, Yu Bing smiled and said, “What if we don’t?”

Jiang Mo replied fiercely, “Then I’ll report you to the village chief!”

Mr. Wang was extremely anxious. He was the one who had messed this up, so he couldn’t implicate others. He slapped his second son hard as he glared at him and said angrily, “I’m not asking you to lend me money, but there’s no need for you to be so ruthless, right? You want to force me, your mother, and your brother’s only descendant to death? The heavens are watching. Aren’t you and your wife afraid that your third brother will haunt you at night?”

Whether his third brother’s ghost came to look for him or not didn’t matter. Money was the most important thing now!

If he didn’t hurry, the two of them would run away!

the Wang family’s second son sneered. “Dad, stop trying to scare me. Instead of talking nonsense with me, you might as well persuade them to give us the money as soon as possible so that you can leave early. I don’t want much. I only want 100 yuan!”

When Mr. Wang heard his second son extort him so nonchalantly, he felt embarrassed. As he pointed at the Wang family’s second son, he was so angry that his fingers trembled and he couldn’t even speak properly.

Yu Bing was worried that something would happen to Mr. Wang, so she hurriedly went forward and patted Mr. Wang’s chest to calm him down. Then, she looked at the couple coldly. “If you want to report us, go ahead. We’re not selling them on the black market, so I’m not afraid of you exposing us.”

She would go along with them and leave them with no way out.

Jiang Mo had expected that they wouldn’t compromise easily and that they would bargain. She had even thought of the lowest price, but she had never expected that they were unafraid at all.

When she heard Yu Bing’s denial and saw her fearless attitude, she was a little puzzled. Was she wrong? However, Jiang Mo still refused to give up so easily.

Only a fool like her father-in-law would believe in the excuse that they would use the flour for self-consumption.
