Back to 80s, pretend to be in debt and get out of the misery

Ma Qianjin was only a teenager after all, and his evasive gazes could not be hidden from Chu Dashan and the other three.

Mu Qinlao took out an apple from the cupboard, washed it, put it in Ma Qianjin's hand, and said gently, "Sit down and have an apple."

Ma Qianjin tried to push the apple back, but Chu Dashan smiled and said, "You just called me Dad Chu, so we are a family. Your Uncle Mu and I are your elders. If I ask you to eat the apple, eat it quickly. If you refuse, it means you don't consider me a family member."

Ma Qianjin naturally hoped that Chu Dashan could marry his mother, but he was also worried that Chu Dashan would regret it after knowing about it.

"Thank you, Dad and Uncle Mu."

He ate the apple in small, reverent bites.

In my entire life, I have only eaten an apple core once, when I was nine years old.

Today's apples were big and sweet. He had a feeling that if he and Chu Dashan really became a family, he would be able to eat apples often.

When he had eaten a quarter of the apple, he stopped eating, looked up, and said sheepishly, "Can I leave the remaining apple for Mom and the others?"

Mu Chenze opened the cupboard door and said, "There are six or seven apples in here. When your mother and the others come, you can have one each."

Ma Qianjin hung his head and said, "Actually, I'm worried that you will chase us away when my mom and the others come over."

Chu Dashan felt that it would not be a problem to get information out of Ma Qianjin.

"No matter what happens, I will not drive you four away. Qianjin, I am very worried about your mother now. Tell me, what happened?"

Ma Qianjin held the apple tightly in his hand, as if he could find courage from the apple.

After a few minutes, he finally mustered up the courage and said, "My mom has a younger brother who was caught as a thief. The security team called my mom over to sign..."

Hearing this, Mu Chenze took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and opened it. On it was a portrait of the thief from today.

"Go ahead, take a look, is this man your uncle?"

Ma Qianjin looked ashamed. "He is my mother's brother, but not my uncle. He cut off all ties with the three of us brothers a long time ago and doesn't allow us to call him uncle. He said before that he only recognized my mother as his sister and that he hated all the descendants of the Ma family!"

Chu Dashan sighed, "Why does he hate you?"

Ma Qianjin looked disappointed. "Because he wanted my mother to leave the three of us behind and marry someone to earn the bride price, but my mother couldn't bear to leave us three, so she flatly refused. From then on, he hated the three of us. When my family was so poor that we couldn't even afford to eat, my mother asked him to borrow money, but he was only willing to take care of my mother's meals, but refused to lend money. In fact, the three of us hated him too. The blind date he found for my mother was notoriously bad-tempered and he also beat women. His last wife was beaten away..."

Chu Dashan couldn't help pounding the bed, "Then your mother still cares about him?"

Ma Qianjin curled his lips, "My mother said that he is the only male in the Mei family, and we can't just ignore him. No matter how bad he is, we have to help him get a few fewer years in prison."

Mu Chenze shook his head. "Unless he pays back all the money he stole. It's not a small amount. I heard it's more than a thousand yuan. Where is your mother going to get the money?"

Ma Qianjin was very helpless. "My mother had no place to get money, so she went to the security team to see her brother. She wanted to ask her brother if he had hidden money somewhere. Any money she could get would be helpful."

It is true that Chu Dashan has money, but he has no intention of saving a thief.

"Qian Jin, go to the security team and call your mother over. I have something to say to her."

"Okay."

The horse moved forward and ran away.

After a while, he ran back and said, "Dad Chu, you won't regret it, right?"
