Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s

No matter how angrily she cursed, the government officials had already finished counting the money on the other side, and indeed there was 15,800 yuan. Apart from the 200 yuan spent on things needed when they returned for resettlement, all the money was there, and the handover procedures were completed on the spot. The government officials issued a donation certificate and expressed a few words of thanks before leaving, and then they also took away the eldest son of the Yang Family and his family.

Only after the onlookers outside the courtyard dispersed did Elder Yang turn to Luo Qiao and Yuan Jiayi who were standing aside and say, "I apologize for the scene you witnessed. Please come inside and sit down."

As Luo Qiao entered and set down her things, she noticed Grandma Yang, who still hadn’t recovered from the shock, "You still have me. I will take good care of you."

Grandma Yang immediately burst into tears, "My dear child, we were really left with no choice. If we hadn’t done this, I’m afraid we couldn’t have saved him."

Luo Qiao, somewhat confused, looked towards Grandpa Yang.

Grandpa Yang said, "Shumin, stop crying, don’t scare them."

After Grandma Yang dried her tears, she said, "I’m really sorry, you shouldn’t have had to see this."

It wasn’t until Grandma Yang had calmed down a bit that Grandpa Yang explained why they had to donate the money. It turned out that their eldest son had been tricked into gambling away money not long ago, and the person who had set him up was actually an acquaintance.

That person was targeting the money of the Old Couple Yang, but the eldest son was not listening to anyone else’s advice, convincing his family that he wanted to get money from them. The other two families were also afraid he would give the money to Big Brother in private, so they kept causing trouble every other day.

For the sum of money in their possession, they had been extremely vigilant over the year, and under others’ influence, they’d somehow come to believe that the money should rightfully be theirs. The eldest son thought that, even if he lost some money, the old couple would surely not let him suffer without helping.
