"Yuan Pingping! How dare you talk to your mother like that? Are you really going to rebel? You think you're all grown up now? Fine! If you're so powerful, then get out of here today and don't come back! Get out! Don't eat my food, don't live in my house! Get out!" Seeing that her attitude was indeed a bit too much, Yuan Xiangyong was so angry that he pointed at her and started cursing.
Yuan Mengge said calmly, "It doesn't matter. I'll leave here sooner or later anyway, so I'll just go. But if I leave, I'll take Sister Xue'e with me."
She definitely wouldn't stay in this house, but if she were to leave, she would have to take Li Xue'e with her.
Before Li Xue'e can become independent, she cannot leave her alone in this den of wolves and fire.
Upon hearing her say such a thing, Yuan Xiangyong and his wife both looked at her incredulously.
Yuan Xiangyong immediately put one hand on his hip, pointed at her with the other, and started cursing: "Are you out of your mind? If you want to leave, leave yourself. Why are you taking your sister-in-law with you? What right do you have to take her with you? Is she the one you married? Is she even your person?"
Yao Dongqing wiped her face in disbelief and looked at Yuan Mengge, saying, "How could you say something like that? You're really out of your mind! Yuan Pingping, are you on drugs? Are you even thinking straight?"
Which sister-in-law runs away from home and takes her sister-in-law with her?
What qualifications does she have?
When Li Xue'e married into their family, she married her brother. The bride price was paid by her parents, and she didn't contribute anything. All she wanted was to take away the bride they had spent so much money to marry.
Besides, she's a girl, not a man. What would she do with her sister-in-law? Is her sister-in-law capable of having her children?
Yuan Mengge's words left both Yuan Xiangyong and Yuan Xiangyong bewildered as to how she could say such a thing, as it was not something a normal girl would say.
Yao Dongqing even suspected that she might have taken some illegal drugs outside, which caused her to lose her mind.
Now that they hear this, they realize that Yuan Mengge has been protecting Li Xue'e like a mother hen these past few days.
On the day of her return visit, she insisted on going along, and was bullied by Yuan Dasheng, eventually beating him up until he was covered in bumps.
Moreover, every argument these past few days has been directed at Yuan Dasheng.
Yuan Mengge took out the three hundred yuan she had earned from clocking in that day and said, "You want money? Okay, I'll give it to you!"
As she spoke, she suddenly strode into the room and took out all the money she had earned from clocking in over the past few days, as well as the three hundred yuan she had just received that morning.
She neatly held the 1,400 yuan in her hand, patted it, and said, "I'll give you 1,400 of the 2,000 yuan betrothal gift now, and I'll give you the remaining 600 tomorrow! You've already received the betrothal gifts back, so that's considered offsetting the cost of the banquet."
Then she took the money, walked up to Yuan Xiangyong, reached out and pulled out one of his hands, and slapped the money into his hand.
"Here's the money. From today onwards, Sister Xue'e is mine. If you want to do anything to her, you'll have to get my permission first!" she said expressionlessly.
Yuan Xiangyong and Yao Dongqing were both stunned by the large sum of money she produced, and they looked at her simultaneously, asking, "Where did you get this money???"
Yao Dongqing looked incredulous, but her body instinctively moved over, staring at the money in Yuan Xiangyong's hand as if it were counterfeit.
Yuan Xiangyong's eyes widened slightly as he stared blankly at the money in his hand. He touched it with his other hand and checked its authenticity.
The money is real, and it's a brand new large bill; you can even smell the scent that only new money has!
"Yuan Pingping! Where did you get so much money? Tell me, where did you get it from? Did you steal someone's money?" Yuan Xiangyong immediately suspected that she had stolen the money.
Otherwise, where would a teenage girl like her get such a large sum of money?
Even if she saves up all the red envelopes she receives every Chinese New Year, she'll only have two or three yuan left, which is already a lot.
They didn't usually give her pocket money. When she was in school, the living expenses they gave her were directly handed over to the school. The pocket money they gave her was only ten yuan a week, which was already considered a lot.
"Don't worry, the money was definitely not stolen. I earned it honestly." Yuan Mengge had already figured out how to fabricate a legitimate source for the money, so she wasn't worried about them suspecting her.
"You earned that? What did you do to earn that money? What did you do? What kind of job can a junior high school student like you earn that much? Tell me, I'd like to know what kind of job it is!" Yuan Xiangyong stared at her with a cold glare and questioned her.
In those days, an ordinary worker in a small county town could only earn a few dozen yuan a month, and a few hundred yuan a year.
Only the shops in town that do business can possibly earn a few hundred a month.
But opening a store requires a large initial investment.
This girl is only a teenager and doesn't even have a regular job, let alone be able to open a store.
Moreover, it's a girl. The only way for girls to make the most money is through illicit work.
Yuan Mengge calmly said, "I won it in the lottery."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiangyong and his companion were taken aback.
Her answer surprised them.
"You won the lottery? You said you won the lottery?" Yuan Xiangyong looked at her with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.
The lottery... it's actually quite possible! This is something he really hadn't thought of, but it's also the fastest way to make money.
But it all depends on luck. Winning a few hundred dollars at once is considered a big prize.
Since last year, lotteries have suddenly become very popular.
At that time, the Seven Star Lottery had not yet been launched, and people were buying small lotteries, where the prize money for each of the seven prizes was different.
The highest prizes are the Special Prize and the First Prize. Currently, the Special Prize is 10,000 yuan, the First Prize is 8,000 yuan, the Second Prize is 5,000 yuan, the Third Prize is 3,000 yuan, the Fourth Prize is over 1,000 yuan, the Fifth Prize is 600 yuan, and the Sixth Prize is over 100 yuan.
These days, if someone wins the grand prize, it's like the God of Wealth has descended upon them.
Even if you don't win the grand prize, winning a first or second prize would save you several years of work.
Yuan Xiangyong himself likes to go to the town to play the lottery when he has nothing to do. In this day and age, the people who like to play the lottery are mostly men, middle-aged and elderly people and a few young people.
Moreover, in this place, men often buy a few lottery tickets when they have nothing to do, find a tea shop to sit and study the winning numbers for that draw.
Like they were poisoned, these men spent all their free time intently studying the award reports.
If you bother them, they will get angry and irritable, saying that you are blocking their path to wealth.
Yuan Xiangyong never expected that Yuan Mengge would say that she won the money in a lottery.
After his initial surprise, he looked at her suspiciously again and asked, "Where did you buy the lottery ticket? When did you win? What were the numbers?"
