She wanted to find Pei Tiantian, but as soon as she went downstairs, she found a group of strange men walking towards her.

"Is this Comrade Zhou Qiaozhou? This is a court summons that the company asked us to deliver to you. Because you have not responded for a long time and have not compensated the company for its losses, our company has decided to sue you. If you cannot pay this money during the litigation process, then we will have no choice but to ask you to go to jail."

Pei Tiantian stayed in the hospital for a few days, and then the doctor informed her that she could be discharged.

The person who came to pick her up this time was Grandma Pei.

Perhaps worried that if she continued to associate with Zhou Qiao and caused more trouble, Song Yanzhi might take this opportunity to ask to send the child away, Wang Yanmei's attitude improved somewhat.

After thinking about it carefully these past few days, she realized that Pei Tiantian wasn't actually that bad. When she came over before, she did all the housework for her, and she was obedient and ate very little.

If Zhou Qiao hadn't suddenly appeared, she wouldn't have caused so much trouble.

In the end, it was Zhou Qiao who caused it.

Although she can only help with chores at home now, she might be able to get some dowry when she grows up and gets married.

After all, this girl is indeed quite good-looking.

Thinking this way, Wang Yanmei felt much better.

Pei Tiantian was somewhat surprised to see Wang Yanmei come to pick her up.

But at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it was Grandma Pei who came to pick me up, does that mean that Aunt Song and the others don't know that Aunt Zhou Qiao is their mother?

Pei Tiantian thought that by doing this, she could relax.

But she didn't expect that what awaited her when she returned was not a fresh start, but an end.

She can no longer go to school.

Because Wang Yanmei signed a child support agreement with Song Yanzhi, Song Yanzhi and Pei Yuchen will no longer pay child support, so Wang Yanmei will have to pay that money.

Her family isn't poor, so she'll definitely be able to go to school.

But Wang Yanmei felt it was unnecessary.

It would be great if we had a daughter in high school.

If her second son hadn't been such a poor student who dropped out of junior high, she wouldn't have been willing to spend money on her daughter's education.

If she starts all over again now and spends money on a worthless item, even if there is a dowry later, she will still be at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, it is said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.

Furthermore, the teacher also said that Pei Tiantian's academic performance was average, and even visited her home, telling her to focus on her studies and not to do those messy things.

If you're not good at studying, what's the point of going to school?

Wouldn't it be better to save this money to buy books and pens for your grandson?

When Pei Tiantian heard that she couldn't go to school anymore, she widened her eyes and asked her why.

Wang Yanmei snorted coldly, "You have the nerve to ask me why? If it weren't for all the trouble you've caused, would your Uncle Pei and the others have sent you away? If it weren't for me keeping you here, you would have been sent back to your mother long ago."

"You still want to go to school? Do you think my money grows on trees? You wish!"

"Stay home and do your chores for me. If you do a good job, I can buy you a new outfit every year. Don't even think about anything else."

If it weren't for the grandson, Pei Tiantian wouldn't even want him.

After all, her youngest son is not married yet. If he gets married and has a son, that's fine, but if it's another daughter, the family will waste a lot of money.

The thought of her son's wedding made Wang Yanmei anxious again.

No, she has to find a matchmaker quickly to see if there are any suitable candidates.

When the matchmaker heard that it was Pei Hai again, she was in a real bind.

"What's going on between your son and the Li family's daughter? They've been asked to get married several times, but it hasn't worked out. Now you're asking me to help introduce them. Can't your two families just put together a match?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanmei was stunned. "What? Li family daughter? Li Xiuhe? What happened to her?"

"What else can it be? They're in a hurry to find a spouse. From before with your son until now, they've been on blind dates for months without any results. Now that they hear it's her, everyone's scared."

"With her qualifications, other people would be overjoyed, so what's there to be afraid of?" Wang Yanmei asked, puzzled.

"You don't know?" The matchmaker raised an eyebrow. "Have you forgotten that she was supposed to be engaged to Xu Dali? Now that Xu Dali did that thing, the inside story has been found out. I heard that all the women who were with Xu Dali before turned around and married honest and rich men. Then, they were secretly threatened by Xu Dali and conspired to cheat their own men. All of them ended up with ruined families!"

"Tell me, which man would dare to date her nowadays?"

"But speaking of which, wasn't your son also scammed last time? Could it be related to her?"

Wang Yanmei turned pale when she heard this.

The incident involving her son had already terrified her, but thankfully the police found him in time. He hadn't been scammed and came back safe and sound.

She said a few words to him at the time, and that was the end of it.

Anyway, Xu Dali has been arrested, so this kind of thing shouldn't happen again.

Now they've told her that her son wasn't deceived by Xu Dali, but by Xiuhe!

Thinking back to the strange behavior of the Li family during that period, they used to insist on such a large dowry, not a penny less, but after meeting Xu Dali, they changed their attitude and said they didn't want any dowry or anything.

Although Wang Yanmei also found it suspicious at the time, she thought it would be a good thing to have a wife who was given away for free. Besides, it would also benefit her if Li Xiuhe married her son, so she happily agreed.

Who would have thought there was such a hidden story behind it all?

If my son had actually listened to me and married Li Xiuhe, wouldn't he be in the same miserable state as those who were cheated out of their fortunes?

Upon realizing this possibility, Wang Yanmei's face turned green.
