New book "Transmigrated into the Villain's Little Darling" is out!
The cute and invincible Tang Xiaonan transmigrated into the foolish supporting female character of a period dram...
Sister Wang's tone was calm on the phone, but Ye Qingqing still sensed that something was wrong.
She rode her bike to Sister Wang's place. Aunt Lu opened the door, and she almost stepped on a shard of porcelain as soon as she entered. Although the floor had been swept, a few pieces had still been left, and there were some water stains. Aunt Lu was cleaning up.
Sister Wang sat on the sofa, her expression serious, with tears in her eyes and her face flushed.
"What's going on?" Ye Qingqing found it strange. It looked like they had argued. Could it be that those four ingrates had come by?
Upon seeing Ye Qingqing, Sister Wang burst into tears before she could even speak, saying guiltily, "Child, I'm so sorry, I've caused you trouble."
Ye Qingqing was startled and quickly asked what had happened.
Sister Wang wiped away her tears with a handkerchief and choked out, "Those four ungrateful wretches, I don't know where they found out, insisted that the old man left a box of antiques and demanded that I hand them over. They came to make trouble just now, and even said that you tricked them out of the antiques. My second son is going to sue you. That beast... why didn't you strangle him when he was born?"
Sister Wang gritted her teeth; the more she loved her children before, the more she hated them now.
If she had known she would raise four beasts, she and her husband shouldn't have scrimped and saved to raise them. They could have lived a much more comfortable life, and maybe her husband wouldn't have died so young.
Ye Qingqing frowned. "They really have no shame."
"They probably don't know how much you sold it for, right?"
Sister Wang shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't tell them, but now they want to sue you, what should I do? Maybe I should give them some money, then they'll stop making trouble."
“No, not a single penny will be given. It’s not that I’m being mean, but your four children are all greedy and heartless devils. They’ll keep causing trouble until they’ve squeezed every last drop out of your six million.”
Ye Qingqing disagreed. Why should she compromise with these ungrateful wretches and refuse to give them a single penny?
"Don't worry, just stick to the fact that there are no antiques. I guess someone saw me when I came to get the safe that day, and it got back to them. Why don't you just go out and have some fun instead of staying at home and getting upset? Let Grandpa Ma take you out for some fun," Ye Qingqing suggested.
She wasn't afraid at all. How could she sue without any evidence? The court wasn't just sitting around doing nothing.
Sister Wang's eyes reddened, and she said aggrievedly, "He's ignoring me. He hasn't come to see me since I was discharged from the hospital, and he barely responds when I talk to him."
Ye Qingqing frowned. Grandpa Ma had deep feelings for Sister Wang, so how could he suddenly stop talking to her? However, he seemed strange at the hospital a while ago, as if he had something on his mind. She wondered what was wrong with him.
"Do you think he might have found someone else?" Sister Wang worried.
Grandpa Ma has a high retirement pension, is in good health, and his two sons are successful. Many old ladies have their eyes on him, which makes Sister Wang nervous. She is in poor health, has four unfilial children, and is not young. In fact, she has no advantage at all.
Ye Qingqing chuckled and comforted him, "I think Grandpa Ma's heart is completely devoted to you, so he definitely won't have a new love interest. It must be for some other reason. Why don't I go and ask him?"
Aunt Lu, who was tidying up the house, hesitated several times before finally saying, "I think Uncle Ma doesn't come to see Aunt Wang because he can't get over his own troubles."
"What obstacles could he possibly face?" Sister Wang didn't believe it.
Aunt Lu smiled shyly, "Aunt Wang, you used to be like Uncle Ma, but now you're a rich person. Uncle Ma must have some thoughts in his mind. I reckon he feels that he's not rich enough and not good enough for you."
Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up; that really might be true!
