He knew that the Director of the Revolutionary Committee and the Secretary Head of the village had come forward, which meant that the matter had been officially finalized. Half of Old Three’s allowance was meant for his parents and half was for his wife. But since they were given to Jinbao and Jinyu, the two of them needed to pay the Third family back. Otherwise, this matter would be taken to court. By then, not only would they have to pay the amount back, but they would have to spend more money to deal with the court’s settlements.

There was nothing that he could object to.

Han Yongfang had always been someone who never abused his power and was always careful in making decisions for good. As long as he were to say something, it would mean that the matter would be settled.

Although Old Man Han was distressed, even if he lost his reputation to this matter, he couldn’t refuse the responsibility for it. Unless he were to never see anyone else’s face ever again, which was highly unlikely, he couldn’t run from this obligation.

He could only recognise it as he covered his face and staggered home. Han Jinyu quickly followed behind him.

When Old Man Han arrived home, Han Jinbao was still screaming in pain as if he was slaughtering a pig. He wanted nothing more than to hack the shrew to death. Old Lady Han sat up all of a sudden, “Old man, have you caught her? Have you snatched it back?”

She had hidden 1,200 Yuan worth of money, which were all taken by Lin Lan.

Old Man Han covered his face in grief but even his tears could not flow out. He wished to find a seam to crawl in as he waved his hand, “Pack up and take out the rest of the money quickly. We have to return it to them.”

Old Lady Han was anxious, “Have you gone mad? What kind of ecstasy-inducing soup did she give you?”

Old Man Han looked at her and felt extremely distressed, “Speak, I would really like to know how in the actual heck did you lose 7,500 Yuan?”

The eldest brother Han,  the second brother and the others were shocked when they heard it. 7,500 Yuan? Did they have so much money at home?

Both sister-in-laws came at this time as well.

Han Jinbao was anxious when he heard it, “Mother, why is there so much money? You told me that it was only 800 Yuan? I only spent 1,000 Yuan…”

“You beast, shut up!” Old Man Han’s throat was so sore that he almost couldn’t speak, “Jin… girl, hurry up.”

He was angry, “To hell with this ‘Jinbao’ and ‘Jinyu’ names, they should change their names quickly.”

Han Qingyun’s words were practically conveying Han Yongfang’s intentions. Even if it seemed like the Secretary Head didn’t want to speak much back then, his face conveyed his emotions like a mirror.

Old Lady Han scolded him for being corrupt again, “What a joke. 7,500 Yuan?  It’s been more than ten years— did we live without food and water? Did we go through headaches and fevers without seeing a doctor? Were all those not considered expenses? Which household out there can retain more money the more they spend?”

Even though it was put that way, children of the other households were not obligated to provide. Now, Lin Lan was still waiting for the money, otherwise, she would file an official complaint. Han Jinyu was merely a paper tiger(1) with a powerful mouth. In the end, she was the most afraid of fighting. It would be a shame if her classmates found out about this. Would the boys that she admired still desire her?

Han Jinyu shivered as she packed up her belongings and put away everything that still held onto some form of value. At any rate,she didn’t want them to get even a single cent from her.
