Mr. Rong turned his head back, then looked at Old Man Qin.
"You claim that the object belongs to the Qin Family, Qin Ye says it was passed down to his father from his grandmother. If you insist on claiming it, then fine... Qin Ye, go and call the police!"
"Back then, your father sold things to pay for your mother’s medical treatment, which was perfectly legitimate and nothing to hide."
"Moreover, I believe that since your grandmother said it was hers, the object must have come from somewhere. Let the police investigate it; they might even be able to find your grandmother’s family."
"Then won’t it be clear whose it really is?"
When Mr. Rong was in Jing City, he had discussed the matters concerning his son-in-law’s house with his daughter.
It seemed this family was quite complicated... It was said that Qin Ye’s grandmother had fled famine to come here.
Just now, he had overheard the conversations outside while he was in the room and thought of these things.
When Qin Ye heard his father-in-law speak, his eyes suddenly lit up, especially when he saw the unpleasant expression on the faces of those opposite him; he immediately had some calculations in his mind.
He nodded immediately and agreed, "Alright, Sis, I’ll go right now."
Old Man Qin’s face turned utterly dark. Upon hearing Qin Ye would go to the police station, he hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "Don’t go."
Seeing the look in his in-law’s eyes, he realized he might have sounded too anxious.
So he added another line, "It’s been such a long time, why bother going to the police station? If you don’t want to give it, then forget it."
But Rong Wenming was not so easily dismissed.
"... This isn’t about what you want or don’t want... Qin Ye, do you want to report it to the police? If you do, go ahead. It happens to be that I know a few people. When the time comes, have someone check if you’ve been accused of taking others’ property as I sometimes hear from your teachers."
Before Qin Ye could respond, Old Man Qin, who was about to leave, became anxious. He hadn’t expected his father-in-law to speak like he was breathing his last, yet be so troublesome.
"I’m saying I don’t want it anymore. Give it to Qin Ye."
Rong Wenming looked at him, "That’s not for you to decide... It’s just like when you cut ties with Qin Ye during his siblings’ hardest times; now that you see his household doing well, you want to make amends. The world doesn’t cater to your whims, nor is it dictated by your words."
Then he turned to Qin Ye, "Qin Ye, what do you say?"
Qin Ye immediately responded, "Dad, I will listen to you."
Rong Wenming was very satisfied with his compliance.
Old Man Qin, watching the father and son-in-law thus, grew extremely agitated, "If you want to lose face this way, then go ahead. Do you think I never went to the police station before? It’s just because you could never find anything."
Rong Wenming replied, "Don’t worry, if you couldn’t find anything, it’s because you have no connections. But I do."
Old Man Qin: ...
So infuriated.
Why must every member of the Rong family be so troublesome?
At that moment, Madam Rong spoke up, "Actually, you don’t have to investigate if you don’t want to, but you have to provide some compensation; otherwise, you guys think of something new all the time and come here to bother us daily, and we don’t have the time to entertain you."
Old Man Qin immediately turned and looked at her, "What do you mean?"
"It’s exactly as it sounds. Write up a new severance agreement, and also give us twenty yuan. Back when the family was divided, things weren’t done fairly. Qin Ye and his dad didn’t fuss about it, but now it’s too much. If a knife isn’t stuck in your flesh, you’ll never know the pain."
The twenty yuan demanded instantly infuriated Old Lady Wang.
"You’re dreaming..."
Madam Rong, seeing her jumping in anger, snorted coldly and turned to Qin Ye, "Qin, what are you waiting for? Isn’t that bicycle over there? Hurry to the town."
Upon hearing Mother-in-law’s words, Qin Ye immediately nodded, "Okay."
And he started walking towards the bicycle...
