Mother Qin sat on the chair, frowning slightly, thinking secretly about the suggestion Qin Ruanruan had just made.
She knew that with Qin Runrun's scheming and cunning, making such a suggestion at this moment was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
As an adopted daughter, she has had eight million ideas since she was a child, and her mind is so meticulous that it is difficult to understand.
Even though he had always been on guard against her, he still often fell into her carefully laid traps. This time was probably no exception.
Maybe he wants to use me to achieve some ulterior motive and is just treating me as a stepping stone.
However, even so, Mother Qin couldn't help but feel a little shaken in her heart.
Why did her heart flutter? Even she herself couldn't explain it clearly.
Perhaps it was because of the tempting benefits right in front of her, or perhaps Qin Ruanruan's words were too convincing, or perhaps, she really missed that rebellious girl.
Anyway, deep down she wanted to agree.
At this time, Qin's mother had not yet realized that she had actually been successfully PUA'd by Qin Ruanruan.
Qin Ruanruan had long understood her greedy nature, her love for money and her love for money. Therefore, whenever money was involved, Mother Qin was like being cast under a spell, completely unable to resist, and could only let Qin Ruanruan manipulate her.
But how could Qin's mother understand this? She naively believed that she still had the strength to fight back, and even wanted to turn the tables on Qin Ruanruan.
She raised her head, stared at Qin Ruanruan with sharp eyes, and said coldly:
"Humph! Even if I really go to her to ask for money, it will be for your brother's betrothal money. As for your dowry, you should ask your deceased mother for it!"
After saying this, a smug smile appeared on Qin's mother's face, as if she felt that she had finally gained the upper hand.
Faced with Qin's mother's undisguised disdain and ridicule towards her biological mother, Qin Runrun remained unusually calm and composed.
This is not because there is no ripple in her heart, but because she has already seen through everything.
Thinking back to the past, that cruel and heartless woman had sent her to be raised by someone else without hesitation. From that moment on, she completely erased the warmth and responsibility that the title of "mother" should carry from her heart.
To Qin Ruanruan, the so-called biological mother was nothing more than an unreachable and extremely unfamiliar concept, not worthy of causing her any emotional fluctuations at all.
At this moment, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she said softly to Mother Qin:
"Mom, actually, I never really planned to ask for the dowry money. After what happened with Qiu Sicheng, I completely gave up the idea of getting married!
The reason why the issue of dowry money was brought up was just to find an excuse.
You can just use this as an excuse to ask my second sister for it. When it comes, you can keep it for yourself. I won’t take a single cent of it.
Even if I do decide to get married in the future, it won't be difficult for me to save enough money for a dowry with my own ability."
Hearing this, Mother Qin couldn't help but show her joy, and secretly calculated in her heart. She felt that she had really picked up a big bargain this time, and her face was full of smugness, and she kept muttering:
"Hehe, my daughter is really smart. This way, I can get the money without having to prepare a dowry for you. It's such a good deal! Okay, then I'll go ask your second sister for the money."
Having said this, he turned around and left impatiently, as if he was afraid that this unexpected money would disappear without a trace.
Then he thought about the last time he went to the army. He had already explained the matter of betrothal money and dowry money to Qin Wan. He thought that he might not be able to take advantage of it this time. He could not help but feel depressed:
"Ruanruan, why don't I not go? Last time I went, everything was made clear. If I go again this time, it won't end well." Mother Qin wanted to back out.
Things have come to this point. How could Qin Ruanruan let her plan fail? She approached Qin's mother and shook her arm, just like before:
"Mom, what if you've explained it clearly? You're my second sister's biological mother. If you ask for money, can she still beat you back?
Besides, this time was different from the last time. Last time he didn't care, but this time, she had a child.
People say that you don’t know your parents’ kindness until you have children. Now that she has given birth to a child, she should know how much you went through in the past, and she should also know how to repay you.”
Mother Qin looked at Qin Ruanruan who was holding her arm tightly, her eyes were a little dazed, and her thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the past.
All those little bits and pieces of the past came flooding back to her mind like a tide, and her heart softened instantly. She sighed helplessly and said:
"Okay, I'll go! Oh, I really owe you in my previous life."
Hearing that Mother Qin agreed, Qin Ruanruan showed a happy smile on her face and said quickly:
"Then be sure to tell me when you go, Mom. I don't have a job right now, so I can go with you."
However, Mother Qin shook her head, frowned and advised:
"You, just don't go along and make things worse. Don't you know how your second sister treats you? You should know how much she dislikes our family, especially you."
Qin's mother was well aware of her eldest daughter Qin Wan's dislike for the Qin family. If it weren't for her unwillingness to give up the blood relationship, she would have severed ties with her family long ago.
Although the youngest daughter Qin Ruanruan understands all this, she still insists on facing this complicated family relationship.
Qin Ruanruan bit her lip, looked at her mother firmly, and said:
"I know, Mom. But so what? After all, we have an unbreakable blood relationship. Anyway, I lived with my second sister for more than ten years, and I am her half-sister.
This kind of relationship is impossible even if I want to distance myself from it.
I'll go help him take care of the children this time, maybe our relationship will be back to normal.
Besides, if I go, you’ll have someone to discuss anything with, right?”
Qin Ruanruan was very eloquent and actually persuaded Qin's mother.
Now, after going through so many things, she had to admit that although Qin Ruanruan, her adopted daughter, looked kind and simple at ordinary times, when she really encountered something, she had two ideas with her eyes open and closed, which was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Thinking of this, Qin's mother nodded and agreed to Qin Ruanruan's request to go with her.
However, just before leaving, Mother Qin was still worried and could not help but repeatedly remind her:
"Well, then, if that's the case, you can come with me. But once we get there, you must remember not to do anything that would upset your second sister. Otherwise, both mother and daughter will probably be despised and hated by her."
Faced with her mother's earnest and endless admonitions, Qin Runrun forced a look of submissiveness on her pretty little face, and nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice, indicating that she would absolutely obey her mother's wishes.
However, this was only a superficial phenomenon. In reality, deep down in Qin Ruanruan's heart, she had long been filled with contempt and disdain.
