1539 Go and Ask Her to Come Back
Misfortune would never come singly. By now, the Qian family should also have heard about all this. Ever since Qian’e left the Qian family, Old Madam Qian had no one to torture so she vent her frustrations on Qian Wang and his wife. The few of them often quarreled at home. Recently, for some reason, Old Madam Qian had even asked her other two sons to return to the capital.

“Ask Qian’e to come home for a visit soon. I haven’t seen her for a long time. Since her uncles and aunts-in-law are all here, ask her to come home,” Old Madam Qian said with a straight face.

“Mother, Qian’e had already cut ties with the family when she left. Even if I give her a phone call, I won’t be able to get her to come back,” Zhao Ni said fearfully.

Old Madam Qian took the teacup from the coffee table and smashed it on the floor, saying, “What! Can’t get her to come back! She’s a child of our Qian family! She’s a member of the Qian family forever! Where can she run to! Make her come back!”

“That’s right~ How can a junior sever ties with the elders? It’ll be so embarrassing if word gets out! Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law, you should ask Qian’e to come back. We haven’t seen Qian’e in such a long time~” Huang Meng, the wife of the second son Qian Cai, said sweetly.

Huang Meng was a coquettish woman. She always wriggled her waist when she walked, spoke very coyly and had dated many men before. Qian Cai was a lecherous man and he liked women like Huang Meng. Back then, Old Master Qian refused to let Qian Cai marry Huang Meng, but Qian Cai pressed on like a man possessed and forced Old Master Qian to agree. In the end, Old Master Qian had no choice but to give in to Qian Cai.

Qian Cai and Huang Meng had one son. The neighbors all said that the child did not resemble Qian Cai at all, but looked more like the child of Old Man Liu who lived at the village entrance. Qian Cai and Huang Meng had numerous arguments over this issue. Every time Qian Cai wanted to divorce Huang Meng, Huang Meng would use her foxy ways to make Qian Cai change his mind.

“Shut up, you slutty woman! This is our Qian family’s business and you have no right to speak!” Old Madam Qian said angrily.

Huang Meng hid behind Qian Wang aggrievedly. Her eyes were filled with tears and she looked so pitiful.

“Mother! Xiao Meng is just passing a comment. Why are you angry with her? Qian’e is not our child. If you want to scold someone, you should direct your anger at my eldest sister-in-law,” Qian Cai said.

Zhao Ni looked at Qian Wang, but he did not say anything and just sat at the side. Even a coward like Qian Cai would stand up for his wife, but Qian Wang did not say anything and even pretended not to hear anything.

“Why doesn’t Qian’e want to come home! It’s all because the two of you chased her away! You have to get Qian’e to come back this time round! She used to contribute to the family’s household expenses in the past. Even if she wants to leave, she still has to contribute her share! I hear that she has caught a big fish and is going to become a rich man’s wife again! You have to find her!” Old Madam Qian said.

Zhao Ni lowered her head and remained silent. She knew that she owed Qian’e a lot. Qian’e would definitely not have a good life in such a family. Instead of letting Qian’e sink into a quagmire, it was better for her to suffer on behalf of Qian’e!

“Mother, Qian’e won’t be coming back,” Zhao Ni said.

Old Madam Qian raised the rattan cane in her hand and hit Zhao Ni. “Don’t you know how to think of a way! You’re stupider than a pig! Even if you have to get someone to tie Qian’e up and drag her home, do it!”

“Qian’e has even bought a new house! She even set up a big factory! Where did she get so much money? It must be from that rich man! Just tell her that you’re sick and need money. Say that you want… 2,000 dollars! No! Each of our families needs 2,000 dollars, so that’s 8,000 dollars!” the third son, Qian Sheng, said with a smile.

They were not going to return to the capital for nothing. Someone must pay the price for them making the trip. They were not going to go back empty-handed.

“That’s right! Tell her to be filial to our mother again!” Qian Cai said excitedly.

Zhao Ni had no choice but to agree to do it. If she did not agree, she would be beaten to death by this group of people. Old Madam Qian was worried that Zhao Ni could not complete the task, so she asked Qian Wang to go along.

Qian Wang immediately said, “I have a lot of things to do at the hospital and can’t go. If I take leave, I’ll lose my full attendance bonus.”

The hospital gave a full attendance bonus of 20 dollars to staff who did not take any days off! This amount of money would go to Old Madam Qian in the end, so she immediately said, “Then there’s no need for you to attend to such a small matter. Huang Meng and Liu Jia can go instead!”
