Ye Lan still came to eat dinner. Ye Zhiguo had spoken, and the old lady had to give her son face.
"Tomorrow I'll speak to the landlady and ask her to let Ye Lan try for another day. If she still can't handle it, then let Ye Lan get married as soon as possible," the old lady announced her decision.
"Dad, Mom, I don't want to get married..." Ye Lan cried sadly, feeling a pang of regret.
Actually, she did it on purpose today. On the first day, the boss didn't make her do too much hard work. She just let her follow Zhao Di and learn. She pretended to be clumsy and even deliberately damaged some tools.
He just wanted the boss's wife to dislike him so he wouldn't have to do the dirty and tiring work at the shoe factory anymore.
But Ye Lan never expected that the old woman would be so resolute as to force her to marry.
Shen Yanhong became anxious, "Lan'er is not old enough to get married yet, how can she get married?"
"It's only a year short. We can collect the betrothal gifts and hold the wedding banquet first, and then get the marriage certificate when we reach the right age. Why can't she get married!" The old lady looked at her with a sinister expression.
Shen Yanhong was furious. Without even a marriage certificate, wouldn't her daughter be illegally cohabiting with him?
That old hag is insulting Lan'er!
"Ye Zhiguo, what do you mean? You also want Lan'er to get married now?" Shen Yanhong looked at Ye Zhiguo coldly.
If Ye Zhiguo agrees, she will leave with her daughter and son and stop living with this selfish and cold-hearted man. As for Ye Qingqing's property, as long as Lan'er can appease Lu Qingquan and Lu Qingquan can appease Ye Qingqing, it will still be hers, and Ye Zhiguo will not get a single penny.
Shen Yanhong felt disheartened by Ye Zhiguo because he actually asked her to hand over her salary today. It had been agreed that she would keep her salary and Ye Zhiguo would cover the household expenses.
Moreover, all the vegetables at home now are brought back by her. They eat fish and meat every day. Her family has the best food in the whole alley. All of this costs money. You can't have such good food without spending six or seven hundred yuan a month.
But Ye Zhiguo wasn't satisfied. He even set his sights on her salary. She had saved up tens of thousands of yuan over the years, and this money was her safety net. She would never take it out.
Ye Zhiguo didn't dare to look Shen Yanhong in the eye; he was counting on Shen Yanhong's salary!
"Mom, Lan'er is underage. It's illegal for her to get married now. If the authorities find out, I'll lose my job. Don't say these things again."
The old woman was taken aback. Her son's secure job was her livelihood, hundreds of times more important than Ye Lan. Of course, she wouldn't risk losing something so important for a small gain, but—
"Then let's wait another year. If Ye Lan doesn't work hard this year, she'll get married and get out of here!"
The old lady wasn't so easily fooled. It was only a year. Let Ye Lan earn money for a year first, and then collect a dowry. She wouldn't lose money no matter what.
"I will definitely do my best."
Ye Lan tearfully made her promise, earning two sharp glares from the old lady.
Shen Yanhong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as things calmed down, she didn't want to fall out with Ye Zhiguo unless absolutely necessary. Her job was in Ye Zhiguo's hands, and if things really turned sour, she was afraid she would lose her job.
If she loses her job, how will she support her son and daughter?
But when asked to hand over her salary, Shen Yanhong was even more unwilling. Why should she use the money she worked so hard to earn to support Xu Yali's mentally challenged son?
Shen Yanhong glared at the old lady with hatred. It was all because of this damned old woman. She had to find a way to get rid of her, otherwise her family of three would never have a peaceful life again!
