Upon hearing this, the old lady exclaimed, "This is outrageous!"
At first, all her dissatisfaction with Xu Xiaoyue was about money, because Xiaoyue's earnings were used to support her grandparents and younger brother, which was something the old lady could not accept.
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that, the old lady was furious. She rushed to Xu Xiaoyue in a flash, her speed making her seem like someone who was only in her fifties or sixties.
Even Xu Ying and Jiang Xinya, who were standing next to her, were startled by the old lady's actions and subconsciously moved to the side.
But Xu Xiaoyue wasn't afraid at all. The moment the old lady raised her hand to hit her, she stuck out her belly, which wasn't showing at all.
Noticing Xu Xiaoyue's actions, the old lady subconsciously followed Xu Xiaoyue's gaze and instantly all her anger froze on her face, caught in a dilemma, unable to back down.
Xu Xiaoyue smiled slightly. Her model-like height gave her a superior air in front of the old lady. She glanced coldly at the old lady, then looked back slightly before slowly backing up to the sofa, sitting down gently, and looking up at the old lady.
The old lady also glared fiercely at Xu Xiaoyue.
While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were facing off, neither Jiang Xinya nor Xu Ying spoke, both somewhat taken aback by the situation.
Xu Ying was just watching the show, because none of it concerned her.
Although Jiang Xinya was afraid, she was more annoyed. It seemed that the old lady was wary of Xu Xiaoyue because she was carrying her grandson, and therefore wouldn't try to lure Ye Qing here.
So what happens to the money?
Jiang Xinya brought them all here, not for them to come here for a vacation and to rest during their pregnancies.
Seeing things spiraling further and further off course from her initial expectations, Jiang Xinya became increasingly frustrated and went back to her room to smash things.
Xu Ying was watching TV in the living room, but she felt awkward sitting there because Xu Xiaoyue and the old lady were facing off. So she prepared to go back to her room. When she passed Jiang Xinya's room, she heard a noise, paused for a moment, and then pushed the door open and went in.
"Don't bother me." Jiang Xinya glanced at Xu Ying, her tone very unpleasant.
Xu Ying looked around Jiang Xinya's room with great confusion and said, "Since you're so short of money, why don't you sell this house?"
After speaking, Xu Ying carefully examined Jiang Xinya's room again. The room was not exquisitely decorated, but the house was an apartment building.
You could call it a villa, but it doesn't look particularly grand; it's more like the kind of house built by a wealthy farmer.
Regardless of what kind of house it is, this small building has three floors. Although the location is a bit remote, it's still a three-story building, and it could fetch a good amount of money if sold.
Moreover, Xu Ying came from the countryside, so she was aware of some things.
This house doesn't look like a commercial apartment; it looks more like a rural house built on a traditional homestead, which is worth some money.
"I'd like to sell it, though. If this house were mine, I'd definitely sell it," Jiang Xinya said irritably.
Xu Ying was stunned, a little surprised. To be honest, she thought this was Jiang Xinya's house.
It wasn't Jiang Xinya's. Xu Ying shrugged, thinking she should pretend she hadn't said anything, and then prepared to go back to her room.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard Jiang Xinya's voice behind me: "Do you have any ideas?"
Xu Ying didn't really want to get involved in this, after all, her relationship with Ye Qing was so complicated. Her parents had previously thought of asking Ye Qing for some money, but Xi Quan had stirred up trouble between them with just a few words. Now, her parents wished they could kill each other to vent their anger.
Does Xu Ying hate Ye Qing? Absolutely.
However, after learning that she was not Xu Daye's biological daughter, Xu Ying thought back on everything and realized that she had no right to be jealous of Ye Qing.
Ye Qing's good point is that she has a powerful father.
Her own father... according to her mother, was also a farmer, so Xu Ying didn't really want to acknowledge him. Anyway, he was penniless, and might even ask her for money later.
However, after becoming pregnant, Xu Ying was unable to earn money.
Although she didn't want to get involved in anything related to Ye Qing, Xu Ying needed the money... to be honest.
Xu Ying turned around and stared at Jiang Xinya for a long time before closing the door and sitting down next to her.
"You have a way, right?" Jiang Xinya looked at Xu Ying staring at her silently and knew that she must have thought of something.
Although Xu Ying didn't speak after asking, Jiang Xinya's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved closer to Xu Ying: "What's your plan?"
"What benefit would I get if I helped you?"
I'll share the money with you.
Xu Ying glanced at Jiang Xinya and narrowed her eyes: "My child has nothing to do with their family. You only came to me because of the complicated relationship between me and Ye Qing. Although I don't want this child, I don't want to extort money from someone I have nothing to do with. So, after this matter is settled, you have to find a way to help me leave here."
Jiang Xinya naturally had no objections.
Actually, Xu Ying had considered leaving quietly after arriving here, but the old lady was watching her too closely, and Xu Ying never found an opportunity.
When Xu Ying initially agreed to Jiang Xinya's plan, she didn't expect that the old lady would personally oversee her.
"Tell me your plan," Jiang Xinya replied to Xu Ying, eager to know what it was.
Xu Ying was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Didn't the old lady always think that Xu Xiaoyue's money should also belong to their family?"
Jiang Xinya glanced at Xu Ying speechlessly, somewhat disappointed: "She's dreaming. Because of Ye Qing, I do dislike Xu Xiaoyue, but if I were Xu Xiaoyue, I wouldn't give my hard-earned money to that old lady."
“It’s precisely because Xu Xiaoyue won’t give it to us that we have a chance. Because it’s so difficult to get the money, we can use it to take care of the wife.” Xu Ying said, “I’m not as educated as you, but because of my parents’ situation, I know a little bit about it. In our current situation, Xu Xiaoyue wasn’t wrong. If we’re not careful, it could really become extortion. So now we have to find a scapegoat.”
Jiang Xinya quickly understood Xu Ying's meaning: "You mean to make that old woman outside a scapegoat?"
Xu Ying nodded.
Jiang Xinya bit her lip and clenched her hands tightly, clearly thinking about the solution Xu Ying had suggested.
Xu Ying wasn't in a hurry and waited patiently: "Take your time to think it over. Once you've thought it through, tell me, and we'll discuss the specifics. I'm going back to my room now."
