Once Sister-in-law Lin was determined to get the money, she didn't speak directly to Ye Zhiwei. Instead, she turned her attention to Ye Yingying, who was standing next to Ye Zhiwei, and said, "Yingying, isn't it? Yingying, do you remember Sister-in-law Lin? You know about Sister-in-law Lin's family situation, right? They're really poor, and none of our relatives have much money either. That's why I was thinking of borrowing some from you. We're all neighbors, so helping each other is normal, isn't it? Yingying, Sister-in-law Lin has helped you a lot in the past. Don't learn to be ungrateful at such a young age!"

This Sister-in-law Lin was sharp-tongued; she not only knew how to speak, but also how to escalate the situation: "This is ingratitude! You're ungrateful to the neighbors who helped you before; you'll be ungrateful to the Ye family in the future..."

This attempt to sow discord is rather unacceptable.

It might work in front of the original owner, but it just seems ridiculous in front of Ye Zhiwei.

No truly kind and simple person would rush over to borrow money from a neighbor they barely know just because they have money. The conversation from the very beginning was already setting the stage for asking for money later.

Ye Yingying bit her lip. She wanted to expose what Sister-in-law Lin had done, but she was also afraid that Ye Zhiwei would be instigated and think that she was ungrateful. She was in a dilemma.

Ye Zhiwei let Song Min keep quiet for now, and then pretended to make a phone call. She had Ye Yingying accompany her to a room, and after asking Ye Yingying about the situation in detail, she immediately understood.

She knew in her heart that if this Sister-in-law Lin had any self-respect, she wouldn't have realized she wasn't welcome after seeing her and would have stubbornly stayed. She was unwilling to leave. Since she was free anyway, she didn't plan to use a rough method to ask Sister-in-law Lin to leave, as that might not look good and would definitely have an impact on Song Min and Ye Yingying.

She wanted to make sure that Sister-in-law Lin would never dare to come knocking on her door again.

But when they came out, Sister-in-law Lin, who was always talking, had annoyed Song Min. She rubbed her temples and said, "Just tell me how much you want."

This was tantamount to an agreement in front of Sister-in-law Lin. Her face showed greed, and she immediately said, "Three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand is enough!"

"Are you crazy? Three hundred thousand?" Song Min was shocked. This Lin family's annual income was at most ten or twenty thousand, and now they were actually asking for an exorbitant amount. Song Min, who thought they only wanted a few thousand, had underestimated the greed of human nature.

Sister-in-law Lin said matter-of-factly, "Song Min, you've married into a rich family now, is 300,000 yuan a lot for you? Your coffee table, cups, and handicrafts must be worth tens of millions, right? You're so rich, I'm just borrowing 300,000 yuan..."

Ye Zhiwei reappeared with Ye Yingying, her face expressionless. She had Ye Yingying sit next to Song Min and smiled, "Yes, our Ye family is rich, we can have money easily, but does that mean we have to lend it to you?"

Ye Zhiwei picked up an antique-looking handicraft from the table right in front of Sister-in-law Lin, and threw it on the ground. The handicraft shattered into pieces. Ye Zhiwei said expressionlessly, "This thing is worth over a million."

Then, under Sister-in-law Lin's disapproving gaze, he sneered, "I'd rather smash this than lend you money."

Enraged, Sister-in-law Lin lost her temper, driven by greed. "Young lady, do you think you're so great just because you're rich? Do you look down on us poor people? Don't you rich people get your money by exploiting us? Your mother is willing to give me this money, and you, a little girl, think you can make decisions for me..."

"Yes, I can make the decisions." Ye Zhiwei continued arrogantly, "Yingying said your surname is Lin, so, Ms. Lin, let me be frank, there's absolutely no way I'll lend you the money. But I heard from Yingying that you previously slandered and insulted my mother and Yingying. So let's settle those scores. Oh, by the way, you probably don't know, but slander and insult are criminal offenses. I can have someone collect evidence and file a lawsuit in court right now. I don't know if you'll be sentenced or not, but I'm sure your life won't be easy regardless."

Sister-in-law Lin finally realized that she was facing a capitalist, and Song Min was the mistress of the Ye family, no longer the neighbor she used to be able to easily approach and slander.

"Young Miss...I..."

"Although Dad is usually kind-hearted, he must be very angry to hear that his wife has been bullied, right? Where does Ms. Lin's husband work? I guess he doesn't need to work anymore; he can just rely on his mouth to break into people's homes and beg for money. Oh, and your child too..."

Now Sister-in-law Lin finally realized what kind of powerful figure she had offended, and dared not be presumptuous anymore. She finally became smart for once, and suddenly stood up from her chair and even knelt on the ground, desperately admitting her mistake and begging for forgiveness.
