If it exceeds 500,000, then that's an exceptionally large amount of fraud!
The crime of fraud has sentencing standards: three thousand to ten thousand yuan, up to three years...
One hundred thousand to five hundred thousand yuan, three to ten years...
And if it exceeds five hundred thousand, that is considered a particularly large amount of fraud!
Starting from ten years, or even life imprisonment!
Since The Wretch said he looked down on him, then he really would look down on him now.
And he was really going to take this seriously!
Short on money, are you? Fine, I'll give you money then!
In the courtyard, Xia Jianshe, who had been busy working, saw the situation outside and quickly ran out.
After understanding the situation and hearing Zhou Cheng say he would give The Wretch five hundred thousand for his wife's medical treatment, he hurried to Zhou Cheng's side and spoke up:
"Xiao Cheng, don't believe him. You don't come back often, so you don't know him. This Wretch is from the neighboring Xia Family Village. He's a professional beggar. He doesn't have a wife! His wife ran away a long time ago!"
Xia Jianshe had met Zhou Cheng before in Shanghai. Now that the family was holding a birthday celebration, as Zhou Yuanbo's best childhood friend and the one who stayed in the village to help look after Zhou Yuanbo's father, he stood completely on Zhou Cheng's side!
Although five hundred thousand was like a drizzle to the Zhou Family, in Xia Jianshe's eyes, it was the income from a whole year of growing yellow peaches!
This amount of money was no simple figure for an ordinary family!
At the same time, The Wretch was a scoundrel; this money could be given to anyone but him.
After speaking to Zhou Cheng, Xia Jianshe looked directly at The Wretch and shouted at him:
"Wretch, get out of here right now! If I see you coming to the Zhou Family to cause trouble again, see if I don't deal with you!"
Xia Jianshe and The Wretch were from the same village, and he was also the village chief of Xia Family Village. He was usually an honest and gentle man, but in front of Zhou Cheng, he spoke harsh words to The Wretch!
The surrounding villagers watching the drama were also surprised to hear Zhou Cheng's words, and they quickly began telling Zhou Cheng about The Wretch's background.
"Second son of the Zhou Family, don't believe him. Giving him five hundred thousand is worse than feeding it to pigs."
"Exactly, Xiao Cheng. This Wretch lives in a small building, and who knows how much money he has saved in his cards!"
"Xiao Cheng, listen to me. This Second Son Xia's wife ran away long ago! He doesn't have a wife anymore; there's no such thing as a surgery!"
"Xiao Cheng, I'm your Second Aunt. If you have too much money, just give it to me. My old man has been complaining about back pain; that's someone who actually needs money for surgery."
"Wretch, I think you've gone crazy for money. You've come all the way to Zhou Family Village to scam people. Don't you know the two villages are right next to each other? You just see that these young people from the Zhou Family haven't come back much, so you want to scam them, right!"
"..."
Some people advised Zhou Cheng not to give the money, while others cursed The Wretch.
In short, except for the group of people The Wretch brought, everyone stood on Zhou Cheng's side, telling him not to be fooled!
As for The Wretch, he was momentarily stunned when he heard Zhou Cheng say he could give him five hundred thousand.
He was so stunned that he didn't even talk back while the people around him were cursing him.
After a moment of recovery, his heart was suddenly filled with joy!
Five hundred thousand! That was no small sum. At the same time, he was mocking Zhou Cheng in his heart!
He thought this Second Young Master of the Zhou Family had some brains, but it turned out he was just like that Zhou Wanyu! Neither of them had any brains!
"Go away, go away! What nonsense are you talking! My former wife did run away, but can't I find another one outside?" The Wretch shouted at the surrounding villagers.
"Then have you ever brought her back? Why haven't we seen her?"
"Who says I have to bring her back? My wife is currently sick and in the hospital, how can I bring her back?" The Wretch argued stubbornly.
Anyway, he was definitely taking this five hundred thousand!
The Wretch's words left the surrounding villagers speechless. This Wretch was truly too shameless!
When it came to glibness, no one could beat him!
The scoundrels following The Wretch also snapped out of it.
They stood by The Wretch's side and shouted:
"We can all testify, The Wretch does have a wife."
"That's right, his wife is seriously ill and is currently staying in the city hospital!"
"Do you people just want to see Second Son Xia's wife die?"
The crowd was no match for this group of hoodlums.
As for The Wretch, after rebuffing the villagers, he looked at Zhou Cheng again!
"Second Young Master Zhou, thank you, truly thank you. This five hundred thousand is so important to me. After my wife's surgery is successful, I will definitely bring her to thank you in person!"
Hearing this, Xia Jianshe was about to curse him again!
But he was stopped by Zhou Cheng.
"Uncle Xia, since he says so, then it must be true!"
"My Zhou Family has such wealth now that we have more money than we can count. It's a good thing to be able to help him! So, don't say any more."
Zhou Cheng said slowly.
These words left Xia Jianshe stunned. He thought to himself that when he went to Shanghai last time, Zhou Cheng didn't seem this muddled.
Why couldn't he even identify a low-level scam like The Wretch's now?
"What's the card number? I'll transfer it to you now," Zhou Cheng said, looking at The Wretch!
Hearing this, The Wretch and his entire gang were overjoyed.
He quickly blurted out his card number!
Zhou Cheng simply took out his phone and made a bank transfer, adding a note that it was for Second Son Xia's wife's surgery and medical treatment!
This would make it easier to lock in the evidence!
Ding! The money arrived in a second, leaving The Wretch and his group in disbelief!
...Meanwhile, the commotion outside caught the attention of the family members.
After a while, several people slowly walked out of the house.
The person in the middle looked old, with a face full of wrinkles and a cane in his hand. However, he walked steadily and did not need anyone to support him.
Seeing the person, Zhou Feiyu and Zhou Wanyu walked over and called out, "Grandpa."
Zhou Cheng also looked over curiously.
This was the first time he had seen his grandfather in this world.
Regarding him, besides what Zhou Cheng knew from his Previous Self's memories, there was also the plot involving Su Fang and Zhou Mu, where he had once single-handedly stopped Zhou Yuanbo and Su Fang and sent Zhou Yuanbo to Shanghai for school!
From this, it appeared that although his grandfather was a country man, he was also very insightful and understood the human heart.
