Lan Xue returned home and just as she opened the door, a basin of cold water was poured on her face. Her whole body was instantly soaked. It took her a few seconds to react.

She used her hands to push away her wet hair, and when she looked up she saw the basin in her grandmother's hands. Her mother was held by Lan Chunrou, sitting on the sofa and unable to move.

Lan Chunrou looked at her with a smug look in her eyes. Even if the man knew her, so what?

She just casually mentioned it when she got home, saying that when she was out with her classmates today, she saw Lan Xuegui chatting with a man in a coffee shop, and the two seemed very close.

When grandma heard this, she got angry and immediately came over to aunt's house.

But there was one thing she hadn't told her grandmother: after she left, a new kid came to the house.

Grandma Lan glared at Lan Xuegui, "We didn't raise you to be a freeloader! Go get the marriage certificate with Mr. Cai tomorrow!"

When she thought of the 100,000 yuan she had already received, Grandma Lan couldn't help but ask Lan Xue to get married right away and give her the rest of the betrothal money!

Lan Xuegui wiped his face and sneered, "Dream on."

"Bang!"

Grandma Lan dropped the basin in her hand to the ground with a loud bang.

She looked at Lan Xuegui with disdain on her face, "Who knows if you are having an affair with a guy? Hurry up and marry him while I still want you!"

"Don't get yourself sick. We don't want you. Our Lan family won't support you for nothing!"

Lan Xuegui felt a pain in her heart when she heard her grandmother's nonsense. Even if she told herself not to care about it, the harm from her own relatives could not be ignored.

She took a deep breath and let the water droplets slide down her face and fall to the ground. "Grandma, you know I was almost killed by that guy yesterday... by that guy..."

But before she could finish her words, her grandmother interrupted her, "Even if he slept with you, you are lucky. Mr. Cai's family is so rich. If you follow him, not only will you have a worry-free life in the future, but he may even be able to pay back your father's compensation!"

Lan Xue returned home filled with sadness.

As if she had made a decision, she closed her eyes and then opened them again. The sadness in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by determination. She said, "I'm already married to someone else."

"what?!"

When Grandma Lan heard this, her face was filled with anger.

"Who allowed you to get married secretly?!"

She raised her hand and walked forward, intending to slap Lan Xuegui, but before her hand touched Lan Xuegui, she was grabbed tightly by her, "Grandma, it seems that I don't need to tell you who I'm marrying."

Lan Xuegui looked down and saw that her grandmother's face was full of anger. She wanted to stretch out her other hand to slap Lan Xuegui, but she caught it as well.

She has been through a lot over the years.

It was the first time that I resisted and didn't let her do it herself.

Lan Chunrou, who was sitting on the sofa, saw this scene and immediately shook off her mother's hand and walked over, questioning in disbelief, "Sister, how dare you disobey grandma's order!"

"So what?"

Lan Xuegui said coldly.

"you!"

Lan Chunrou wanted to continue speaking, but was interrupted by a voice coming from behind.

"I was the one who arranged for Cher to get married. I'm her mother. Don't I even have the qualifications?" Mother Lan limped over.

Seeing this, Lan Xuegui immediately let go of Grandma Lan's hand and went forward to support Mother Lan. However, when passing by Lan Chunrou, she heard her whisper, "You dead cripple."

She paused and glanced at her coldly.

Lan Chunrou happened to have her head down and didn't notice.

Lan Xue returned home and swore to herself that she would make more money in the future and take her mother to a big hospital to get her foot healed.

She recalled that her mother's leg was not irreparable.

A week before her college entrance exam, her mother was accidentally hit by a car on the street and the driver left the scene.

In order to prevent her from getting divorced, her mother did not tell her. At that time, she did not go to the hospital for treatment to save money, but received simple treatment in a nearby clinic.

Later, after she finished the college entrance examination, she wanted to take her mother to the hospital, but she had no money. She planned to borrow money from her uncle, but was sternly rejected by her aunt and grandmother.

He also said that it was just a minor problem and there was no need to make a big fuss about it.

Finally, she was pulled back by her mother. She still remembers her mother saying weakly, "It's okay. Don't worry."

But when she got back, she saw her mother locked herself in the room, and faint sobbing sounds could be heard from the room.

That day, she sat in the living room for as long as her mother spent in the room.

Suddenly, Lan Xuegui felt a sense of strength in her hands, and she heard her mother say, "Mom, Xue'er is my child, so don't bother with her marriage. Besides, Xue'er is marrying a good woman, so you don't have to think about separating us."

Granny Lan sneered and said sarcastically, "I wonder if you are some poor guy from some poor family, otherwise why would they not let you live there even after you got married?"

She paused, her tone full of contempt, "But it doesn't matter, poor people marry poor people, they are a perfect match!"

Seeing that her request for the remaining betrothal money was in vain, Grandma Lan glared at Lan Xuegui angrily.

But since Mr. Cai hasn't come to see her yet, it means there must be a way to get Lan Xue to marry him, so let her try for now.

Then, she said to Lan Chunrou, "Rou'er, let's go back!"

Lan Chunrou was still in shock that Lan Xuegui was married. When she heard her grandmother's words, she was stunned for a few seconds before she responded, "Okay."

Before she left, she gave Lan Xuegui a meaningful look.

After Grandma Lan and Lan Chunrou left, Mother Lan took a towel and wiped the water stains off Lan Xuegui's body. She stared at Lan Xuegui's pretty face, and after a moment's hesitation, she said:

"Xue'er, when we got the marriage certificate yesterday, we were in a hurry and I haven't understood the situation of that girl yet. Please talk to me."

Lan Xuegui smiled somewhat helplessly, because she didn't know Qin Qiushi's specific situation, but in order to let her mother feel at ease, she said:

"Mom, my family is well off. Today, she even drove me to meet my mother-in-law."

When Mother Lan heard about the car, she smiled a little, "Okay, then how many brothers and sisters do you have?"

Lan Xuegui was stunned again, but quickly said: "...Mom, I am marrying this person, not this family."

Mother Lan said worriedly, “I’m worried that brothers and sisters in my family won’t get along well, just like yours…” Mother Lan stopped talking in time.

But Lan Xuegui knew what her mother wanted to say. It was nothing more than what her uncle had done to the family over the years. And if it hadn't been for her father's help, her uncle's family probably wouldn't have been able to succeed in the leather factory business.

But she couldn't say much.

The air was quiet for a few seconds, and Lan Xuegui heard her mother say again: "Your grandmother's words just now reminded me, why didn't you move over to my house?"

"Is it because... your family doesn't welcome you?"

Lan Xuegui patted her hands and soothed her, "Mom, it's nothing, don't worry about it. I just mean that I don't want to move over so soon. I can't bear to leave you and my brother behind."

Having said that, Lan Xuegui gently leaned his head on her shoulder, staring at a certain place with empty eyes.

If she didn't live with Qin Qiushi all the time, her mother would definitely be worried, but if she moved there, it would be difficult for her to take care of her and her brother.

Thinking about what happened in the car just now, she didn't know what Qin Qiushi would think if she went over and told him that she could move in with him.
