Mr. He avoided Xia Lan's gaze and said to the police officer, "Officer, our family really doesn't have any money; please have her sister pay the fine!"
He spoke with an air of righteous indignation.
Mrs. He suddenly caught on and said, "Yes, yes, yes, have Xia Chuyi pay!"
After the couple shamelessly finished speaking, the room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.
The air stilled for a moment before Mrs. He hummed, "Anyway, we don't have money at home!"
This meant that even if Xia Chuyi didn't pay the fine, they wouldn't either.
Mr. He, with a sycophantic smile, said, "Officer, you see, we really don't have any money..."
"Cough, cough!" Shocked by the absurdity of this family, Chang Luhui came back to his senses and said, "If you don't pay, there will be a fifteen-day detention."
