Qin Wan had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could enjoy some leisure time, but unexpectedly, life is always full of variables.

Just as Qin Wan was immersed in beautiful fantasies, a quick phone call suddenly rang, pulling her back to the cold real world.

She picked up the phone impatiently. Before she could speak, her mother Bai Susu's slightly anxious voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Wanwan, I heard you gave birth to quadruplets! That must be so difficult. Why didn't you tell your mother?"

Bai Suzhen's tone seemed full of concern.

But Qin Wan knew clearly in his heart that Bai Suzhen was definitely a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken and had no good intentions.

She dislikes this so-called "cheap mom" from the bottom of her heart.

Qin Wan frowned and replied bluntly:

"Mom, what's going on? Tell me now, don't beat around the bush!"

She knew this cheap mother's character very well. If she didn't have something to ask for, she would never call her on her own initiative.

Moreover, it was definitely not out of genuine concern that he contacted her.

As the saying goes, "No one goes to the temple for no reason." I don't know what benefits he wants to get from her this time.

Bai Susu on the other end of the phone was obviously not affected by Qin Wan's cold attitude, and still said directly:

"Your brother is getting married soon. Please give me 500 yuan so I can prepare the betrothal gift for the girl."

After saying this, Bai Susu waited quietly for Qin Wan's response, as if she was sure that she would agree to this request.

When Qin Wan heard Bai Susu's request for her to pay the betrothal gift, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Mother Qin seemed to be completely oblivious to Qin Wan's emotions and continued to chatter on the other end of the phone:

"Wan'er, don't take this lightly. Your sister Qin Ruanruan is now of marriageable age, and our family must quickly prepare a generous dowry for her. This is a matter of lifelong happiness, and we can't be careless. So, this money has to be paid by you."

Bai Suzhen's voice sounded decisive, leaving no room for negotiation. Her tone seemed to indicate that Qin Wan must obediently pay the money.

When Qin Wan heard what his mother said, he felt like a mixture of various feelings.

She knew only too well how humble her position was in the family. Growing up, her mother had always favored her older and younger brothers, and had never paid much attention to her as a daughter.

Moreover, my mother's preference for boys over girls is so deeply ingrained in her bones that it is difficult to change.

Despite this, Qin Wan still mustered up the courage to have a good talk with her mother:

"Mom, isn't that a bit wrong? My brother has to give a dowry to his wife, so it's only natural that he should find a way to raise the money himself. I'm just a younger sister, how can it be my turn to help him pay for the dowry? Besides, Qin Ruanruan needs to prepare a dowry for her marriage, and that's the responsibility of our entire family. You can't just put it all on my shoulders!"

Bai Susu's face darkened and she said unhappily, "You're the younger sister, so it's only natural for you to help your brother. You're the older sister, so isn't it also normal for you to prepare a dowry for your younger sister?"

"To my brother, I am the younger sister and I should help him. To my sister, I am the older sister and I should help her. So I am the sucker and I have to pay for everything that happens to everyone!" Qin Wan said with a sneer.

"Don't say such harsh words, okay? What do you mean by sucker? You have money in your hands, so what's wrong with spending some money on your brother and your sister?" Bai Suzhen asked for money with a clear conscience!

"Spending money on them is not a big deal! It's just that I don't want to spend it on them." Qin Wan said disdainfully.

"You rebellious girl. Do you still want to rebel against Tiangang?" Bai Suzhen was very angry at Qin Wan's attitude.

"Hmph, do I need you to judge me? I know it all myself! If you still want to get that ten dollars smoothly every month, then behave yourself! Stop causing all those messy and annoying things all day long. Otherwise, don't even think about getting a penny from me! I'm not kidding you, I mean what I say!"

Qin Wan widened her eyes and stared at the microphone, as if looking at her mother.

She refused to give in even a little bit, and her tone was extremely harsh.

She knew very well in her heart that if she showed any weakness or retreated this time, then Bai Suzhen, her cheap mother who only cared about money, would definitely press forward like a hungry wolf.

So, she couldn't let this happen no matter what.

After hearing Qin Wan's ruthless response, Bai Susu's face instantly turned gloomy. She snorted coldly and said viciously:

"Alright, since you're so heartless and refuse to hand over the things, then from today on, don't call me mom anymore! Our Qin family can't tolerate a disobedient and unfilial daughter like you!"

However, facing Bai Susu's threats and accusations, Qin Wan not only did not show any fear, but instead raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile:

"Oh my, that's great! I finally heard you say that! It would be even better if your whole family disowned me. Anyway, I've had enough of you selfish people. From now on, I can save a full ten dollars every month. I couldn't ask for more!"

After saying that, Qin Wan crossed his arms over his chest and looked at Bai Susu provocatively, as if waiting to see what tricks she would use next.

Qin's mother actually tried to use family affection to restrain herself. This is simply a foolish dream!

The original owner, who was weak and helpless and treasured the little bit of warmth between relatives, might still be shaken, but Qin Wan is no longer the same person she was before.

She didn't care at all whether the Qin family was willing to accept and recognize her.

In fact, Qin's mother knew very well that the daughter in front of her was completely different from before.

A similar situation had occurred once before, so she really didn't dare to take any risks this time.

So, Mother Qin had to lower her stance again, and her tone became softer:

"Wanwan, no matter what, you and your brother are inseparable by blood. Even if your bones are broken, your tendons and veins are still connected. Even if you want to deny it, it's impossible. How about this? Your brother happens to have some free time right now. I'll take your brother and your sister to visit you in your unit."

However, Qin Wan was not moved at all. She responded angrily with a face full of anger:

"Hmph! Come if you want to, and it doesn't matter if you don't come! But if you do come, you'd better stay here honestly. If you dare to cause any trouble, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Because she knew clearly in her heart that her mother's visit was definitely not as simple as she said on the surface.
