The village chief stroked the smooth, crisp banknotes, his hands trembling with excitement. He had never seen so much money in his life. The banknotes felt so good to touch, even better than touching a young woman. It was a pity that so many banknotes were not his.

The thought of the lazy, cunning, and treacherous Wu family members about to make a fortune of 300,000 yuan made the village chief feel a pang of jealousy; he couldn't shake the feeling of unease.

God is blind!

The village chief carefully counted the 300,000 yuan in front of three respected elders in the village, and let them handle it as well. It was indeed brand new banknotes, and the seals had not been touched.

"That's right, exactly three hundred thousand, not a penny less."

The village chief nodded, barely suppressing his jealousy, and announced, "The wicked old woman and her husband's eyes lit up with greed, and they reached out to take the box, but Ye Qingqing stopped them, saying, 'Sign the contract first.'"

"Sign, sign now."

The wicked mother-in-law was overjoyed. With 300,000, she could find ten daughters-in-law. This wicked, jinxed woman should get lost as soon as possible. As for her granddaughter, she didn't care about her at all. She was just a money-losing brat. She would wait until her youngest son got married and gave her a big, fat grandson.

Ye Qingqing read the contract again, and a thought struck her. She asked the village chief, "Now that Ah Zhen and her daughter have signed this contract, do they have no further connection with this family?"

The village chief was taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, they won't be members of the Wu family anymore, so there's no connection."

The three respected elders nodded in agreement. The 300,000 yuan ransom must be completely severed, and besides, she was just a daughter who would eventually marry into another family; Wuhuang Village couldn't keep her.

"Then this little girl can change her surname in the future, right?" Ye Qingqing asked again.

"Whatever surname you change, you're a member of the Wu family, and you'll always be surnamed Wu." The wicked mother-in-law disagreed.

Ye Qingqing sneered, "You've already sold your granddaughter like merchandise, how can you still call her family? Do you expect me to offer 300,000 yuan, and then you'll just say she's a member of the Wu family and take the girl back?"

The village chief was initially hesitant, but after hearing this, he felt it was quite possible. This family was shameless and would definitely do such a thing, so he said, "The relationship has been completely severed, so naturally they can change their surname. The Wu family has no right to interfere."

The wicked mother-in-law was still unwilling to give up and wanted to ask for more money. Ye Qingqing saw through her thoughts, sneered, and said lightly, "Tiedan, this woman has a bad temper. Throw her up there and let her cool off in the wind."

"Okay."

Tie Dan responded and walked towards the wicked old woman. His honest smile made the wicked woman tremble with fear, her legs went weak, and she shook her head vigorously, "I have no objection, change it if you want, hurry up and sign the document."

He's just a money-loser, it doesn't matter what his surname is, let's get the 300,000 yuan first.

Ye Qingqing stopped Tiedan and said slowly, "No rush. We need to write all of this down in the contract. Only a written agreement counts. Village Chief, thank you for your trouble."

The village chief understood her meaning and immediately added the two clauses that Ye Qingqing had mentioned to the contract.

"Add one more thing: if the little girl becomes successful when she grows up, no one in the Wu family may come knocking on our door demanding money," Ye Qingqing added.

One should always be wary of others. This family is full of scoundrels and lazybones; they're sure to have a bad future. Shameless people have no sense of shame; we must cut off their escape route.

The wicked mother-in-law gritted her teeth. Although she felt it wasn't good to write it this way, she only cared about the 300,000 yuan right now. She would deal with the future later. Besides, what kind of future could a little girl like her have?
