Here, Zhao Xingmin poured a glass of water for Ma Xiulan. Seeing that Ma Xiulan had calmed down, she advised:

"Mom, don't be angry. My fourth brother is still young. He will be fine when he grows up. He doesn't make much money now and has to support his wife and children. His 300 yuan betrothal gift will be paid from my salary."

Ma Xiulan shook her head: "They're already married, so what's so young about him? Just leave him alone."

Seeing that Zhao Xingmin was just being naive and would get better in the future, Ma Xiulan changed her approach:

"Now that he has a family, he needs to learn to be independent. He can't rely on his family all his life, so I do this to help him succeed.

If you help him pay the betrothal gift, you will be preventing him from becoming successful.

Don’t you want him to succeed?”

Zhao Xingmin quickly shook his head.

Her fourth brother has been following her around since he was a child, and this time he even helped her fight. How could she stop her fourth brother from becoming successful?

"Mom, I will definitely cooperate with you and help my fourth brother become successful."

After saying that, he handed the thousand yuan in his hand to Ma Xiu Lan.

Ma Xiulan looked at the thousand yuan that Xingmin handed to her.

If the second, fourth, and fifth sons got a thousand yuan, none of them would give it to themselves before they even felt comfortable with it. They might be afraid that they would take it.

How blind she was in her previous life, giving so much for an ungrateful person and even implicated her Xingmin.

She hadn't intended to take it, but she was afraid that Xingmin would be tricked and cheated out of the money by the fourth brother and his wife. After all, Xingmin didn't have the memory of his previous life like herself.

"Mom will keep it for you first and give it to you when you need it later."

Zhao Xingmin said cautiously, "Mom, what's mine is yours. When you get divorced, you'll have a lot of money to spend. Besides, I'll have to follow you then."

"Mom, you won't abandon me, will you?"

Zhao Xingmin was so scared at the thought of this possibility that tears almost came out. Generally, women rarely take their children with them after a divorce because their in-laws won't allow them to do so.

She didn't want to face her grandmother, because her grandmother would only give her endless work to do. Dad always listened to her grandmother.

And if her grandmother makes the decision, her marriage will probably be to the family that offers the highest bride price.

No regard for her future at all.

Ma Xiulan quickly hugged the trembling Zhao Xingmin and said, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely take you with her. This has nothing to do with the money."

Hearing that his mother would take him with her, Zhao Xingmin finally felt relieved.

Ma Xiulan touched her hair:

"Don't be influenced by Zhang Zhaodi's words. If you are bullied, you must fight back bravely, no matter if that person is your close relative or not. If a family doesn't dare to marry you because of this, then they are definitely not a good family.

What Mom means is that if you don’t have a suitable partner right now, you should not get married yet, but improve yourself first.

Don't fall behind in your textbooks and review them constantly. You never know when the college entrance exam will be held again, so you can use the money to study hard in college."

Zhao Xingmin didn't understand. There was no college entrance examination now, but she inexplicably believed what her mother said.

It just so happened that I had a falling out with my second sister-in-law's family, so I don't have to take care of Yangyang anymore. I can just read some books in my free time.

Ma Xiu Lan sat at the head of the bed counting money. The two thousand yuan she had returned from Li Shu Lan today was already deposited in her passbook.

She will deposit the thousand yuan Xingmin just gave her tomorrow morning.

The three thousand yuan she found from Old Lady Wang's pillow was placed in a safe place by her, and she would take it out after the incident was over.

--

On the other side, at Zhao Youfu's house.

After picking up Old Lady Wang from the compound today, she felt sore in her waist and legs, after all, she had not been active for a long time.

Zhao Youfu and Wang Qiuju took care of Old Lady Wang at her beck and call, just to get more money out of her.

Old Mrs. Wang was well taken care of by her youngest son and daughter-in-law. At the same time, the three of them scolded Ma Xiu Lan together, and the depression in her heart dissipated a little. She was about to take out a big unity from her pillow for her youngest son to give to the couple.

Finally, I heard the sound of Zhao Xingfeng pushing the door open.

Zhao Xingfeng was very surprised. Why was Nai here? And sitting on the bench?

She went out for an outing with Song Qinghe early this morning, and came back in the afternoon to watch a movie. She came back late and didn't know what happened during the day.

Zhao Youfu and Wang Qiuju looked at her unhappily.

It’s all because the little girl came back at the wrong time, otherwise the old lady would have given her the money.

Zhao Xingfeng touched his nose: "What's wrong?"

Old Mrs. Wang withdrew her hand from the pillow and vented all her resentment towards Ma Xiulan on Zhao Xingfeng.

He started cursing at me.

Wang Qiuju and Zhao Youfu were originally polite to Zhao Xingfeng, the future daughter-in-law of the Song family, after all, the Song family was well-off.

But now that it has been cleared that Zhao Xingmin did not steal anything, it is not certain whether Zhao Xingfeng or Zhao Xingmin will marry into the Song family.

Zhao Xingfeng's good mood after a day of playing was completely ruined.

Mom is so silly. Grandma and my uncle told my third sister about Zhang Guojie. It asked for such a large dowry, but why didn’t she agree?

He disagreed and beat up his uncle, which angered his grandmother.

The worst thing is that the third sister has no marriage plans now, and the hat of stealing has been taken off. If she goes to Song Qinghe's aunt to cry and complain, the marriage plan may return to the third sister.

At that time, the third sister rescued Song Qinghe's aunt, Su Xin, the wife of Director Song of the Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Su Xin liked the third sister very much and kept recommending her to Song Qinghe's mother. Song Qinghe's mother trusted her sister Su Xin very much, so after meeting the third sister twice, they decided on the marriage.

Fortunately, every time her third sister and Song Qinghe went out, she pretended to be a little girl who depended on her sister, and followed them shamelessly. She secretly tried to attract Song Qinghe, mainly to invite Song Qinghe to help her.
