"Why should I beg her? This is my house! I can let whoever I want stay here!"
"Goddaughter, you and the child are welcome to stay here. Let's see who dares to kick you out!"
Li Dahong stood in front of Shen Xiang and Tang Jiang, his triangular eyes fixed on Ye Nian'an.
"Yes, this is your home, it's none of my business, just don't stay in my room."
"Give me back the money I've already invested! Right now! Immediately! Otherwise, I'll cause a huge scene!"
The moment the topic of money and causing trouble came up, Li Dahong immediately fell silent.
Zhang Weiguo said incredulously, "Ye Nian'an, you're supposed to be the daughter of a university professor, how could you become so shameless?"
Ye Nian'an raised her voice: "Explain yourself, Zhang Weiguo. Who's shameless?"
"You're exploiting your unmarried daughter-in-law by bringing in a widow and her children. Is that what you call shameless?"
"Anyway, I'm barefoot and have nothing to fear from those wearing shoes, so don't mess with me!"
Ye Nian'an shouted at the top of her lungs, instantly attracting the attention of the neighbors who poked their heads out and pointed and whispered.
At this moment, groaning sounds came from Li Dahong's room again.
Her husband had soiled himself, and Li Dahong still hadn't changed his clothes or changed his blankets.
It stank inside and made me feel itchy all over.
In the past, Li Dahong would definitely have yelled and cursed until he went back to his room.
Seeing that Ye Nian'an wanted money, he quickly slipped back into his room.
Ye Nian'an wasn't nervous: "Zhang Weiguo, you're a man, you can't just not pay back what you owe, can you? You'd better figure it out!"
"Niannian! Can you please not shout so loudly? You may not care about your reputation, but I do!"
Zhang Weiguo barely recognized the woman in front of him.
She had previously been extremely obedient to Zhang Weiguo, gentle to the core, and always obliging to his requests.
She said she would do anything to marry Zhang Weiguo.
How could it have turned out like this in such a short time?
"Yes, Nian'an, men are your everything."
"When you marry into the Zhang family, won't you be relying on Brother Weiguo? What good will it do you if we ruin our relationship?"
Shen Xiang offered this insincere advice.
"Hey, someone owes money and isn't paying it back! Everyone come quick!"
Ye Nian'an didn't tolerate it at all and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Zhang Weiguo's face was flushed red: "Enough! I'll just give you your money back! Stop yelling!"
Ye Nian'an has only been here for a few days, so she couldn't possibly have spent too much money.
"Okay, this number."
Ye Nian'an held up three fingers.
"Thirty, right? Okay, I'll give it to you..."
"Thirty? Are you kidding me? Zhang Weiguo, it's three hundred!"
Zhang Weiguo's eyes widened: "Three hundred?! Niannian, are you robbing me?"
"When I first arrived here, I had nothing at all—a wardrobe, tables, chairs… I had to buy everything myself."
“Every now and then your sister-in-law and younger sister come over and say that they are short of this room and want to borrow it when they are about to give birth. They just take it.”
"They haven't uttered a single word and still haven't paid it back."
“And these past few days, your mother hasn’t even given me tickets or money, and she still expects me to cook. I’ve spent so much of it; three hundred is considered a small amount.”
Ye Nian'an counted on her fingers: "How about I calculate it for you carefully? Maybe it's four hundred, five hundred..."
The more Zhang Weiguo calculated, the more uneasy he felt.
Knowing his family's personalities, he figured Ye Nian'an was now isolated and helpless in Haicheng, and they had her cornered.
But they didn't even consider that Ye Nian'an hadn't officially registered her marriage with Zhang Weiguo yet.
If this really causes a commotion and gets back to the military, it won't be good for Zhang Weiguo's career.
Zhang Weiguo is currently at a crucial stage of his promotion, and he cannot afford to have family misconduct issues at this critical juncture.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, three hundred it is!"
"Brother Weiguo, this is too much."
Shen Xiang felt a pang of heartache; that was all her money.
"I find this strange. Why are you, someone who's just staying here, so nervous when I'm asking Zhang Weiguo for money?"
Ye Nian'an's eyes darted suspiciously between Zhang Weiguo and Shen Xiang.
"I...I..."
Shen Xiang lightly bit her thin lips.
Before anyone could react, Tang Jiang suddenly lunged at Ye Nian'an.
"You wicked woman! You're not allowed to take my godfather's money!"
"My godfather's money is for me and my mom!"
Ye Nian'an had long known that Tang Jiang was a troublesome brat; she had been tricked by this rascal countless times in her past life.
With lightning speed, one hand grabbed Tang Jiang by the neck and pressed him to the ground.
He took off his pants, picked up a bamboo stick from the side, and started hitting him on the buttocks.
"You brat, who taught you to talk nonsense like that!"
“Your mother is a widow whose husband has died, and Zhang Weiguo hasn’t even registered their marriage yet.”
"If word gets out, will you even want those two to live their lives?"
Ye Nian'an's banging made a loud "snap, snap" sound.
Before long, Tang Jiang's buttocks swelled up like red buns, and he cried out in pain.
"Jiang'er!"
Shen Xiang, eager to protect her son, tried to step forward to stop him.
But Ye Nian'an accidentally swung a bamboo stick at his face.
"Ouch!" she cried out in pain.
"Shen Xiang!"
Zhang Weiguo looked at him with concern: "Are you alright?"
Shen Xiang, with tears in her eyes, shook her head: "I...I'm fine, Brother Weiguo, please save Jiang'er..."
“Miss Shen, your son is talking nonsense. Someone must have deliberately caused trouble and taught him to spout nonsense.”
"A doting mother spoils her son. If you can't bear to hit him, I'll do it for you. You'll definitely thank me later."
"Otherwise, if this gets out, people will think that you're already thinking about your husband's comrades-in-arms before your husband's body is even cold."
"What happened between the two of you that the organization would tolerate?"
