"Your aunt said that Constable Zhou and his gang over in Taicang have probably made enough money. His father-in-law is notorious for being ruthless."
In the evening, when Lian Shouxin came back from work, the family was having dinner. Lady Zhang mentioned this to Lian Shouxin in front of Lian Zhizhi, Lian Manman, and Xiao Qi.
"It's good they are back," Lian Shouxin said, "I've heard about Constable Zhou and his father-in-law's reputation. Especially his father-in-law, who is known to extract Copper Coins from even the smallest scraps, is notorious for valuing money over lives. It's only because he's slick and knows how to spend money on the higher-ups that he hasn't gotten into trouble all these years... His second uncle and the others may seem clever with us, but in front of them, they're nothing... Without anyone leading them astray, things will be better."
