Taking advantage of Chiang Qing’s absence, Niu Da pulled his little brother aside and started to whisper.
"Xiao Er, that Miss Chiang looks terrifying, but this old woman is just an elder, we..." Niu Da glanced at Mother Qi over there, with a hint of compassion in his eyes, and said, "She’s very pitiable."
Niu Er became anxious upon hearing this and said, "Brother, you don’t intend to let her go, do you?"
Niu Da pressed his lips together, answering indirectly, "She was about the same age as our mother when she passed away."
Niu Er fell silent, also giving Mother Qi a glance, but quickly looked away, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother, don’t get soft-hearted. Miss Chiang also said she knows us. If we let her go and she reports us to the police, we’d have no way out!"
Niu Da’s expression changed.
"Moreover, we need this money. Brother, you’re not young anymore, and when mom passed away, she wanted to see you get married and have kids, but we’re poor and couldn’t do anything about it." Niu Er held his elder brother’s hand enthusiastically and said, "Brother, don’t you want to fulfill mom’s last wish? And what about little sister’s illness? We’ll just do this one time, take the money, and return to our hometown, what do you say?"
Niu Da bowed his head and nodded.
...
Meanwhile, Chiang Qing, concealing herself as she went along, found a small shop, contemplating how to talk to Cheng Su. Thinking of this woman made her inexplicably excited, yet when she picked up the phone, she hesitated.
What would Cheng Su do upon discovering her mother-in-law is missing? The first thing would be to report to the police, right? Would calling now be walking right into a trap?
Chiang Qing felt anxious, glanced around at the surroundings, which were still some distance from where she was located. Because it was a place with a mix of migrant workers, besides construction sites, there were many board houses and similar residences. The buildings were also built by villagers for rental purposes.
Nothing should happen, right?
Chiang Qing thought for a moment and decided to dial the number; she was too eager to hear Cheng Su’s panicked voice. Anyway, it would be death, so why not die together.
Cheng Su was speaking with Qi Taiguo when the phone suddenly rang. The two exchanged a glance, it’s here!
