"What do you mean by 'savings for your dowry'? Your half-dead daughter has cost my son so much for medicine, plus food and schooling. It's already tens of thousands of yuan. If you work honestly and earn money this year, you can pay back as much as you can!"

The old lady slammed her hand on the table and glared fiercely at Shen Yanhong.

That slut is dreaming! She won't get a single penny. She got the money herself, so why should she have a say in how it's handled?

Ye Qingqing quickly chimed in to support the old lady, saying loudly, "Ye Lan has been with our family for nine years. If we calculate the cost of her medicine as three thousand yuan a year, and her food, clothing, and school expenses as another three thousand yuan, then that adds up to six thousand yuan a year, and fifty-four thousand yuan over nine years."

She added, "This is the bare minimum; the actual figure is definitely higher."

The old lady's face changed with heartache. She had raised her stupid son for nine years, half his life wasted, and it cost her fifty or sixty thousand yuan. That much money could have built a magnificent villa in the countryside. Plus, with that little scoundrel Ye Hua, they would have two villas to spare, and they would have built even more magnificent ones than the village chief's.

The second and third sons are still living in the old house!

That idiot boss would rather spend money to support that slut's illegitimate children than help his brothers. It must be because that slut whispers in his ear every day!

Shen Yanhong's expression also changed. She looked at Ye Qingqing with hatred. Lan'er and Xiaohua were Ye Zhiguo's own children. It was only right for him to raise them. This little bitch was the one who was wild!

"Qingqing, stop causing trouble!" Ye Zhiguo scolded, then said to the old lady, "You can't calculate it like that. Lan'er and Xiaohua are my children now, and it's only right that I support them."

Ye Qingqing was filled with resentment and deliberately shouted, "You can raise them, but why spend so much money? It's made Xiaotong unable to go to school. You treat the wild ones better than your own children. Grandma, my dad must be senile!"

The old lady wholeheartedly agreed, but she felt that her eldest son wasn't senile; rather, he had been bewitched by the seductive widow and couldn't distinguish between family and friends.

"This five thousand yuan is for Xiaotong's living expenses. I'll save it for now!" The old lady made the final decision, leaving no room for refusal.

Although she would prefer to use the money to repair houses for her two sons in the countryside, the money belonged to her eldest son. If she did that, she was afraid that her eldest son would have a problem with her two younger brothers. She decided to wait and see how it went before repairing the houses.

Sending my grandson to school is fine, but I definitely can't send him to that slutty widow!

Don't even think about getting a single penny!

Suppressing her anger, Shen Yanhong said, "This money is the betrothal money that the Lu family is giving to Lan'er. According to the customs in Pingjiang City, at least half of the betrothal money should be used as dowry money, otherwise the groom's family will laugh at us."

The old woman sneered, "That good-for-nothing bastard who got his ass poked, what right does he have to laugh at our family? If he dares to laugh, I'll go put up big-character posters in their military region!"

Ye Lan felt a stab in her heart. It was true that Lu Qingquan had been raped by a man, and it was a thorn in her heart that she could never erase. Whenever she thought about it, she felt so much pain that she couldn't breathe!

Her Qingquan brother is no longer innocent!

Shen Yanhong was furious. The old woman was unreasonable and couldn't be reasoned with. But she still managed to say, "Now that our two families are related by marriage, we should get along well. Mother, stop talking about putting up big-character posters. How will Lan'er live in the Lu family in the future?"

The old lady scoffed, "Whether she can make a living or not is her business. If she's not doing well, it's because she's stupid and can't even please a man!"

She glanced at Shen Yanhong and said sarcastically, "If you can't do it, why don't you teach her a few tricks? You've got my son all smitten, and he's learned half of your skills. He'll definitely be able to charm that scoundrel too."

"puff"

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but burst out laughing. The old lady really hit the nail on the head!

Why is she growing to like old ladies more and more?
