Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1341: One Hundred Thousand

Chen Qidong is the oldest in the family, and usually, when there's something happening in the family, he is the one who generally presides over family meetings.

He is now a school Director of Academic Affairs.

Life is comfortable, but his son has grown up, about to get married, and needs a house.

He immediately started pondering—these two men and one woman, along with a child—one look at their attire and you can tell they aren't ordinary people.

At least they're not poor.

He glanced at the woolen coat on Liu Hong, which must have cost a few thousand yuan.

It's clear that these people must be wealthy.

With a quick shift of his eyes, he approached and shook hands with Liu Zhiguo and Liu Zhiweng to greet them.

"Hello, hello, I am Chen Da's son, Chen Qidong. These are my brothers Chen Qinan, Chen Qibei, Chen Qixi, and my youngest brother Chen Qiming. I heard my father saved your child, is the child doing well now?"

He asked knowingly.

Just from a glance earlier, they could guess that the little girl was definitely the child who was saved.

Li Hao couldn't help but lean closer to her mother, holding Liu Hong's hand.

Since the incident, this child particularly relies on Liu Hong, always wanting to stick with her besides the time spent in school and classes.

Her personality has also become more timid.

"The child's health has improved, thank you for your concern. Come on, Li Hao, say hello to the uncles."

Liu Hong didn't want her child to become so meek and mild, and she pushed Li Hao forward.

Li Hao politely greeted the strangers in front of her.

"Hello, uncles."

Chen Qidong looked at the little girl and said kindly, "So this is the little girl my father saved. She looks really nice and seems to have recovered well. Little girl, you mustn't run around recklessly in the future. Without Grandpa Chen's rescue this time, you might have lost your life.

At that time, your parents would have been devastated. That's something money can't replace."

There was more than a hint in his words.

Liu Hong pulled her daughter back.

"Since you're here to pick up Mr. Chen, it just so happens that Dean Zhao can refund my brother the money. You can take the old man home. We thought he was a lonely old man, out begging on a snowy night.

We didn't expect he'd have five sons after all. It's really something, letting an old man of his age be out there alone.

Alright, let's go see the old man."

She had resumed the clean and decisive manner she had when she did business back then.

It wouldn't matter to her what Chen Qidong and the others said.

Dean Zhao immediately prepared to lead them.

Seeing this, Chen Qidong and the others were anxious.

If these people take the money and leave after seeing the old man, wouldn't they be left with empty hands?

"Hello, madam, wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to leave now?"

Liu Zhiweng and Liu Zhiguo turned to look at the five brothers.

The expressions on their faces were mocking with a hint of a smile.

Don't think they didn't know what kind of people the old man's five sons were.

"Oh, what's inappropriate about it?"

Liu Hong's expression was very calm, looking peacefully at the people in front of her.

Being watched by that knowing gaze, Chen Qidong's face burned a bit, and he felt a chill down his back.

But if he didn't speak now, and these people left, it would be too late.

Thinking about it, biting the bullet for his son who was about to marry, he said,

"My father saved your child, and as they say, a life-saving grace should be repaid generously. Moreover, my father, at his advanced age, saved someone at the cost of his health. Then, since you intend to thank my father, why don't you give him 100,000 yuan as compensation?

You don't seem like people who are tight on money, and 100,000 is a well-deserved amount for saving your daughter's life."

Even Dean Zhao couldn't stand it anymore.

These people have no shame, just casually asking for 100,000 yuan. Do they know what a month's salary is right now?

An average person's salary in the provincial capital is about four to five hundred yuan a month.

And they're blatantly asking for 100,000—a clear-cut extortion?

"100,000 yuan?"

Chen Qiming observed Liu Hong's composed demeanor, feeling secretly smug, thinking his guess was right—it seems this family isn't short on money.

But he was a bit remorseful, thinking he should have asked for more earlier. 100,000 yuan, by the time the brothers divide it, there might not be much left for him.

But it seemed too late to change his request now.

"That's not too much, is it."

Liu Hong nodded, "Indeed, my daughter's life isn't worth less than 100,000 yuan."

Chen Qiming immediately smiled, and the other brothers also breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't expect that in his old age, their father could bring them so much money.

It seems like driving the old man out to fend for himself was the right decision, seeing how he could earn them 100,000 yuan just from this rescue.

The brothers exchanged glances, contemplating whether to let the old man continue living outside, begging.

Maybe he could save more people.

Saving one person alone was worth 100,000; if he saved a few more, the brothers would be rich.

"Let's quickly go to the bank and withdraw the money, so as not to delay you all,"

Chen Qiming said, not wanting to miss the chance to pocket the money.

Liu Hong smiled, "Yes, my daughter's life is indeed worth 100,000 yuan. But why should I go to the bank to withdraw the money for you?"

She squeezed her daughter's small hand, giving her a gentle smile.

Li Hao looked up curiously at the people in front of her, "Yeah, why should my mom pay you guys? You weren't the ones who saved me?"

The faces of Chen Qiming and the others turned dark instantly.

"That's not right, what you're saying. The old man saved your daughter, so the money is my dad's, which makes it ours. If you don't want to give the money, just say so, don't make excuses here."

Liu Hong shook her head, "You are mistaken, your father is an independent person, and the law doesn't say that what belongs to the old man is yours. As long as the old man is alive, his property is his own. Besides, the terms for the so-called life-saving grace were not proposed by the old man.

The person wasn't saved by you, it has nothing to do with you. Even if we want to talk about this matter, we wouldn't be discussing it with you.

As people say, heaven is watching how people conduct themselves. If one is not filial, what will one's children be like in the future? You can wait and see for yourselves, your time will come. Looking at your ages, it seems that time isn't far off. One day, your children may cast you out onto the streets to beg for food.

Hopefully, you won't regret what you did to your father today."
