Mu Xiaowan pulled down her collar, revealing the gauze on her neck, and said angrily, "Making trouble? I almost lost my life, and you just casually say 'making trouble' and think you can just let it go."

Mu Xiao'e was taken aback and looked at Bai Jiao'e.

Bai Jiao'e, afraid that Mu Xiaowan would find out, quickly explained, "Judging from this, Xiao'e doesn't know about this either. Those people must have been desperate. You are his own sister, how could he be so heartless as to treat you like this?"

"Xiao Wan, you've misunderstood."

Mu Xiao'e echoed Bai Jiao'e's words, saying, "Yes, yes, sister, how could I harm you?"

Mu Xiaowan sneered, "Since it's already a fact, any explanation will be in vain."

It's obvious that Mu Xiao'e didn't know about this. What a stupid thing she is, thinking she's so clever. She didn't even realize she was being sold out, and she dared to take the blame for something like this.

"Xiao Wan!"

Bai Jiao'e used to think Mu Xiaowan was easy to control, but time and again, facts proved that she had no idea what Mu Xiaowan's temper was like. She was really afraid that Mu Xiaowan would run to the police station in a fit of anger.

Bai Jiao'e pulled Mu Xiaowan aside, took out two hundred yuan from her pocket, and said, "Xiaowan, use this money to buy some nutritional supplements. As an elder, I was the one who didn't notice sooner. Family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. Let's leave it at that."

"Second Aunt, this has nothing to do with you, how can I take your money?"

Mu Xiaowan didn't answer, and Bai Jiao'e became anxious. She felt uneasy because she hadn't given away the money.

"Xiao Wan, we're family, so let's not stand on ceremony. If you don't accept this money, your aunt will feel bad. Please take it."

In order to get Mu Xiaowan to agree, Bai Jiao'e continued to promise Mu Xiaowan benefits.

“Oh, I just remembered something. I heard Shaoqing say that you want to transfer your rural household registration to the city so that you and Junbai can live separately. I only found out yesterday when Shaoqing asked your second uncle. Don’t worry, if it were anyone else, even if they offered you mountains of gold and silver, your second uncle wouldn’t agree. Putting aside whether it would violate any regulations, just the fact that a rural household registration can be changed to an urban household registration is very difficult.”

“But we’re family, after all. Your second uncle said he’ll figure something out, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

Bai Jiao'e perfectly embodied the feeling of a guilty thief.

Later, Mu Xiaowan learned that Bai Jiao'e had taken on such a difficult task.

It was because she was afraid that Mu Xiaowan would transfer her household registration to the Chu family, and that way, the Chu family would have to share any benefits with Mu Xiaowan.

If her household registration isn't here, we can find an excuse not to give her the allocation.

Instead of doing that, we might as well kill two birds with one stone now.

Bai Jiao'e only thought of this on the spur of the moment; she hadn't discussed it with Chu Huaimin.

However, when it comes to family interests, Chu Huaimin will listen to her.

"Oh, by the way, your second uncle said yesterday that if your shop opens in the future, his company can get anything they need from you. It's a small matter for your second uncle."

Bai Jiao'e held Mu Xiaowan's hand, her eyes shining with affection, "In short, we are family, and we will always be family."

Mu Xiaowan said, "What Second Aunt said makes sense. Since you've said so, and you're the elder, I, as the junior, will listen to you this time."

"Sigh, it's not easy being the older sister. How can I not feel heartbroken after something like this happened?"

"Yes, yes, your parents aren't here. I'll talk to Xiao'e about it later."

Hearing Mu Xiaowan agree, Bai Jiao'e finally felt relieved.

Mu Xiaowan walked up to Mu Xiao'e, her gaze stern.

"Mu Xiao'e, I won't hold this against you this time, but if something like this happens to my shop again, I will definitely not let it go easily. We'll settle both the old and new scores together. Anyway, the police station will keep a record, and I'm not afraid that you won't plead guilty."

Mu Xiaowan was naturally saying this to Bai Jiao'e.

If Bai Jiao'e keeps causing her trouble, how can she continue to run her shop?

Mu Xiao'e lowered her head, adopting the most humble posture, and anyone who saw her would think she was sincerely admitting her mistake.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xiaowan became curious about what Bai Jiao'e had promised her.

If there weren't any benefits, Mu Xiao'e wouldn't have been so humble and subservient in confessing her sins to him.

In Mu Xiao'e's mind, she never made mistakes. How could she make a mistake? It was always someone else who was wrong.

"Xiao'e, you heard what your sister said, right?"

"I heard that, and I will never do such a foolish thing again."

Mu Xiaowan didn't take the money. She thanked Bai Jiao'e and said, "Second Aunt, I'll leave the household registration transfer to Second Uncle. I need it urgently these next few days."

Since Ye Jincheng and Chu Junbai both said it was difficult, she shouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

She also didn't want to share a household registration with Chu Junbai.

Otherwise, it will be easy for someone to find out when you open a bank account in the future.

"You can rest assured that your second uncle will handle things well." Bai Jiao'e smiled broadly, showing no trace of the anxiety she had shown that morning.

Mu Xiaowan told Chu Shaoqing to go to the shop first, while she went to find Ye Jincheng.

"Sister-in-law, isn't this just on the way? You don't need to squeeze onto the bus, I'll take you there."

Chu Shaoqing didn't go to the shop first thing in the morning; he waited for Mu Xiaowan.

At this moment, Chu Zhihui also came out.

"Wait, there's me too!"

Mu Xiaowan smiled and said, "Shaoqing, you can ride your bicycle by yourself, and Xiaohui and I will take the bus."

"If you two take the bus, what's the point of me riding a bicycle alone? Let's go together then."

Chu Shaoqing parked his bicycle and caught up with the two of them.

Walking down the street, Chu Shaoqing took out two hundred yuan from his shirt pocket. "Sister-in-law, this is what my mom asked me to give you."

"Take it back, I don't want it."

Bai Jiao'e couldn't rest easy until the money was spent.

"My mom will give you the money, so just take it." Chu Shaoqing forcefully stuffed it into Mu Xiaowan's hand, as if he were giving her a few scraps of paper instead of money, showing great generosity.

“Sister-in-law, although I don’t know what this money is for, since your second aunt gave it to you, it means you should take it.”

After being "persuaded" by the two men, Mu Xiaowan reluctantly accepted the money.

"I'll treat you to a buffet this afternoon."

She noticed a new buffet restaurant had opened on the street and decided to take the opportunity to see what a buffet was like in this day and age.

Upon arriving at the police station, Mu Xiaowan asked Chu Shaoqing to take Chu Zhihui to the shop first, while she went to find Ye Jincheng.

Ye Jincheng was happily munching on a steamed bun.

Seeing Mu Xiaowan, he raised his hand to greet her, "Xiao Mu, please sit down. I'll finish what I'm doing."

Mu Xiaowan found a chair and sat down to wait.

Bored, she casually picked up a newspaper from the newspaper rack next to her and started reading.

Ye Jincheng's words came through my ears.

"Boss, the guys who were staking out the location have brought news."

"They're really outrageous. The New Year is almost here, and they're getting even more brazen with their illegal activities. It seems we won't have any peace until we've brought them all down."
