“It’s not as simple as you think…” Shao Yin said fearfully.

They had to clarify this issue with the actual culprit face-to-face. It was useless to hear it from Shao Yin. They must find the person who was involved.

The Xia family members immediately set off for the Shao family’s house. As the car convoy entered the village, those who did not know better may even think that there was a wedding going on!

“Look at how well the Shao family’s girl has married. She even has so many cars sending her home to her maternal family! It’s so grand!”

“That’s right! If I had found myself a good in-law back then, I would be having such a grand life too!”

“You should take a look at yourself. Shao Yin is good-looking and has that kind of good fortune! Look at how the Shao family has renovated their house three times since she married into the Xia family! I’m really envious!”

The villagers chatted with one another noisily. The rest of the Xia family might not be able to hear what they were saying, but Qiao Mei’s hearing was very sharp and she could hear every word they said.

They walked straight into Shao Yin’s house and realized they had come at the right time. All the Shao family members were here, including Shao Yin’s elder sister, Shao Le.

Qiao Mei actually had a good impression of Shao Le back then. At that time, she had even joked with Xia He that if someone from the Shao family must marry into the Xia family, she would prefer it to be Shao Le. At the very least, Shao Le did not look like a bad person. It was clear now that there was no knowing what was going on in a person’s heart and no one could make an accurate guess.

After Shao Yin married into the Xia family, the Shao family did not want to see Shao Le doing nothing at home, so they married her off to an old man in return for a betrothal gift of 200 dollars.

“Oh my! What brings all of you here? You didn’t tell us in advance. We are not prepared at all!” Shao Zhuang said.

The Shao family members were all dressed up to the nines and decked out in jewelry. They no longer looked like countryside dwellers. They did not fit in with the surrounding villagers anymore, so it was no wonder that the villagers ostracized them.

“We are not here for a formal visit anyway. We’re looking for Shao Le,” Xia Wen said sternly.

Shao Le looked at Xia Wen in surprise and asked, “Me? Why are you people looking for me?”

“It’s good that everyone is here. Elder Sister, even if you want to get rich, you can’t get us in trouble like this!” Shao Yin said as she pointed at Shao Le.

“Me? What have I done? Don’t talk nonsense,” Shao Le said calmly as she looked at Shao Yin.

“You stole things from your office at the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration! Tell us the truth!” Shao Yin asked anxiously.

Shao Le stood up abruptly and said, “You’re slandering me! I work diligently at the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration! I’ve never done anything wrong there!”

No matter how slow-witted Shao Zhuang was, he understood the purpose of the Xia family’s visit by now. It looked like Shao Le had done something unforgivable and the Xia family had come because it was unacceptable to them.

Qiao Mei quietly placed her hand on the edge of the cabinet. She immediately saw something extraordinary in Shao Le’s bag.

“Whether it’s slander or not, we’ll know the truth once we open your bag and take a look inside,” Qiao Mei said.

Shao Le looked at Qiao Mei in shock. How did Qiao Mei know what she had in her bag?

Just as Shao Yin was about to reach for the bag, Shao Le hurriedly stopped her and said, “What right do you have to rummage through my personal belongings! What evidence do you have to prove that I’m corrupt!”

“Let me correct you. This is not called corruption. This is called theft and framing another person,” Xia He said sternly.

Shao Yin could not care less. Saving Xia Xing was more important! Nothing was more important than her husband!

She grabbed Shao Le’s bag and an exquisite leather wallet fell out. All the women from the Xia family could tell that this was from the up-and-coming L-brand. The price of a small wallet was 1,000 dollars! It was definitely not something that an ordinary person could afford.

“That’s not all!” Shao Yin opened Shao Le’s bag and showed it to everyone. There were around 20 gold bars inside! These were worth a lot of money!

Everyone gasped. They had thought that Shao Le had taken a little bit of money and did not expect it to be such a massive amount. It was already amazing enough that she carried these with her everywhere. If so, then how much money had she stashed away in secret? How much tobacco had she sold on the sly?

At this moment, Shao Zhuang finally understood the severity of the matter and also understood why Shao Le was so generous every time she came home. It turned out that the money was not from a legitimate source.

Then again, so what? It was fine as long as their family was the beneficiary, right? The source of the money did not matter.

“Everyone, calm down! Calm down! This matter is not that serious! Xiao Le, apologize to the Xia family and give them all the money. Then this matter will be over!” Shao Zhuang said with a smile.

“Over? Father! Do you know! Elder Sister sold those things using Xia Xing’s name! For sure she’s fine! But Xia Xing is finished! I’m finished too! Your grandson is also finished!” Shao Yin said agitatedly.
