Ye Zhiguo was very annoyed by his mother's unrestrained speech and helplessly advised, "Mom, don't say these things in front of the children, it's not nice to hear."

The old lady snorted and said nothing more; she still had to give her son face.

Ye Zhiguo was very satisfied with the old lady's arrangement, which suited his wishes perfectly. He didn't need to touch his savings, and he could buy an imported motorcycle next year!

When Ye Lan saw Ye Zhiguo's expression, her heart sank. She quickly looked at Shen Yanhong, hoping her mother could come up with a solution, as she had promised Qingquan!

Shen Yanhong gave her a wink and didn't say anything more. She knew that saying more would be a waste of breath, and she had to think of another way!

Some time ago, she wanted the old hag to deal with Yue Hongxia, but she didn't. Now that Lan'er's marriage is settled, she won't be polite!

A cold glint flashed in Shen Yanhong's eyes, and her fists clenched tightly!

The old lady didn't deposit the five thousand yuan in the bank. She never liked to deposit her money in banks; she always hid it in a secret place at home, a place only she knew about.

While the old lady was not at home, Shen Yanhong secretly went to look for her several times, but she couldn't find her. She didn't know where the old woman was hiding. Ye Lan was very anxious. Lu Qingquan had arranged to meet her in three days, and the deadline was fast approaching.

"What's the rush? Just tell Lu Qingquan that the old woman hid the money, and Mom is trying to figure something out!" Shen Yanhong glared at her daughter.

She didn't actually want to return the money to the Lu family. Why should she?

If it weren't for the fact that the Lu family has a decent background, she wouldn't have been willing to marry her daughter to Lu Qingquan!

It's shameful for a grown man to not even be able to protect his own backside!

However, since her daughter likes Lu Qingquan, and given her health condition, it would be difficult for her to marry a better man. So she might as well just make do with Lu Qingquan!

The old lady was quite satisfied with the 10,000 yuan dowry she had managed to get. She originally planned to give Ye Lan 5,000 yuan as a deposit and save the remaining 5,000 yuan to use for her son's future marriage.

But now that old hag has hidden the money so well that not a single penny can be found.

Ye Lan's eyes reddened with anxiety. She didn't want to disappoint Lu Qingquan. Yue Hongxia was already dissatisfied with her. If this matter wasn't handled well, would she have a good life after marrying into the family?

"Mom, how about you take out five thousand yuan for emergencies?" Ye Lan asked, knowing that Shen Yanhong had a lot of money and could definitely come up with five thousand yuan.

Shen Yanhong's face turned cold as she looked at Ye Lan with displeasure. As expected, girls are always more outgoing. She hasn't even married into the family yet, and she's already turning against them, actually trying to take advantage of her money!

It must be Lu Qingquan who's been manipulating his daughter behind the scenes!

Shen Yanhong couldn't help but feel relieved that Lu Qingquan had committed a crime. That scoundrel was very cunning and had used sweet words to coax her daughter into submission. Even if he married that brat Ye Qingqing in the future, she was afraid he wouldn't honestly hand over his property.

Fortunately, we failed this time.

She's already looking for a suitable candidate; everything else is secondary. The most important thing is to listen to her!

"Are you out of your mind? You're not even married yet, and you're already trying to scheme for my money! Lan'er, I'm warning you, you can't be completely open with men, you have to be careful!"

Shen Yanhong scolded Ye Lan, feeling very disappointed. She used to think her daughter was quite clever, but she never expected her to be so muddle-headed when something really happened!

Ye Lan couldn't help but retort, "You've been wary of Dad too?"

Shen Yanhong's expression changed slightly, her eyes turned cold, as if she had remembered something, and she sneered: "If your mother were heartless, she would be just like Ye Qingqing's mother!"

Ye Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to ask more, but Shen Yanhong didn't want to say anything more.

"I'll find the money slowly. In the meantime, just focus on your work and don't keep seeing Lu Qingquan. Also, don't go against that old hag. Hmph, that old hag won't be able to be so arrogant for long!"

Shen Yanhong sneered, and the chill on her face made Ye Lan shiver several times, and she didn't dare to look Shen Yanhong in the eye.
