Having lost all her family fortune, Zhang Lan seemed calm on the surface, but she was almost devastated on the inside.
After being disturbed by Meng Jiao, she could no longer control herself and slapped her in the face.
"Have you had enough of this? What do you mean by your money? Have you earned a penny since you married into our family?!"
After all, considering the baby in her belly, Zhang Lan closed her eyes and said nothing more!
At this moment, she didn't want to see this prodigal daughter-in-law for a second, so she pointed to the intersection.
"Go home now and reflect on what you did today! Don't go out again until you have thought it through!"
Meng Jiao covered the burning side of her face and endured Zhang Lan's anger in a daze.
But Zhang Lan's slap woke her up completely!
"It's you!" She gritted her teeth and pointed at Lan Guo'er, "You clearly knew that this matter had nothing to do with you, but you still tempted me to sign a bet with you. You...you have such a vicious heart!"
"What are you talking about again?"
Long Xiangling was very unhappy when she saw her finger, so she stepped forward and waved it away.
"The aunties and sisters are all watching, my Guo'er didn't force you to gamble!
If you weren't so greedy and self-righteous that you wanted to cheat our Guo'er, how could you have ended up reaping the consequences of your own actions? "
"Yes! Zhao's wife, you can't blame the Su girl for this!"
Aunt Hua, as the notary, interrupted in time and said,
"When you wanted to accept this bet, I tried to persuade you. The girl from the Su family wanted to give up, but you were the one who insisted on taking it! With so many eyes watching us, we can't be unreasonable!"
"Yes, yes! This matter really can't be blamed on the girl from the Su family."
The audience present echoed in unison.
Seeing that everyone was on Lan Guoer's side, Meng Jiao felt unwilling, but she also knew that she was completely defeated by Lan Guoer today, and there was no point in saying anything more!
Faced with Zhang Lan's warning look again, she could only take a step forward and walk out of the crowd unwillingly like a defeated quail.
Seeing that the matter was settled, everyone dispersed and went home.
After this incident, Zhang Lan didn't have to worry about how to negotiate with Lan Guoer. She directly told her about Wu Ye's cancellation of the cooperation with the department store and said bluntly,
"Guo'er, I'm sorry for causing you trouble!
I will definitely deliver the bicycle and thermos that your company gave your family as compensation tomorrow. Can you tell Mr. Wu that we can just let this go?
After all, cooperating with a department store is beneficial to both parties. Harmony brings wealth, so we shouldn't be too picky about money. Isn't that right?"
Only then did Lan Guoer realize that in order to vent the anger of the little ones, Master Wu had actually done such a big thing!
However, thinking of Su Xing's indignant look on the day the accident happened, Lan Guoer didn't find it strange.
"I'll talk to Uncle Wu about this! But I really can't influence what decision he'll make in the end!
However, businessmen are driven by profit. If cooperating with the department store is beneficial to him, I don’t think he would act out of loyalty.”
After hearing Lan Guoer's promise, Zhang Lan finally felt relieved!
As long as Mr. Wu can let go of his grudges and just talk about business, it will be much easier to talk about.
Lan Guoer and Long Xiangling returned home, and Han Wenying brought the warm food to them.
After this commotion, both of them were growling with hunger.
Long Xiangling ate her meal with big mouthfuls, and did not forget to report the battle situation to everyone.
She vividly described what happened outside, and when she thought of the outcome of the battle, her face was filled with pride.
"I never thought there would be such a stupid woman in the world, actually rushing to give money to others! In just the time it takes to eat this meal, our Guo'er got 600 yuan. What do you think, is this a blessing in disguise?"
"I was just saying Liu Jiajia wasn't very smart, but compared to this old Zhao family, she doesn't seem so stupid!"
Su Guoyu shook his head and said, "At least Liu Jiajia is only doing business with her own family, so the money doesn't go to other people's fields!
This Meng Jiao is really a spendthrift! She is so greedy for such a daughter-in-law, and it is really annoying for Zhang Lan, the mother-in-law.
And this Meng Jiao, this time I'm afraid she has lost all her husband's family's wealth! From now on, in her husband's family...tsk tsk! I'm afraid she won't have a good time!"
"That's all her own fault! She didn't even understand the situation clearly, and she bit people like a mad dog. She deserves it!"
There must be something hateful about pitiful people! Long Xiangling doesn't think Meng Jiao is that pitiful.
"That's true! I never thought that this bicycle would cause so much trouble!" Su Guoyu shook his head and sighed.
"Mom, this is the bicycle that Nuannuan won in the lottery. Can I ride it back now?"
Xiao Nuan heard the conversation between the adults, blinked her round eyes, and ran over excitedly.
That was her trophy!
Lan Guoer smiled and stroked the little girl's soft hair, and replied,
"Yes! Our Nuannuan is such a lucky little girl! Who do you want to give this bike to?"
Xiao Nuan's big black eyes moved around the room. She remembered that the adults in the family seemed to have bicycles. Finally, the little girl's gaze fell on Bu Ku who was reading quietly on the sofa.
I found my master's relics, and I feel much more energetic today.
He was wearing a new cotton-padded jacket that Tang's mother had hastily made for him. He had a bald little head, but his body was too thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him away!
It makes people feel sad just looking at it.
"Mom, let's sell the bicycle and buy some meat for Uncle Buku, okay?"
Ever since Bu Ku came home, Xiao Nuan seems to like sticking to him very much. When she is not around, she keeps calling "Uncle Bu Ku! Uncle Bu Ku!"
Tang Zhan, a daughter-slave, saw this and felt a little jealous!
Although there was no shortage of meat at home, since Xiao Nuan said so, and the bicycle was obtained by the little girl herself, Lan Guoer agreed to her request.
I decided to sell the bicycle to improve the family's food.
And the Zuo family at this time.
After several days of investigation, his men finally found out the identities of Lan Guoer and Long Xiangling.
"You mean, those two women are from the Su family in the compound?"
Hearing this news, Zuo Youde frowned.
"What about the little monk? Where is he now? Did they take him into the compound?"
Zuo Youde still knew about the Su family's family background!
Just based on the achievements of the old man of the Su family, even the person above would have to show respect! If the Su family really got involved in this matter, he would be in a difficult situation.
"According to what we have found out, the little monk was taken home by Mr. Su's granddaughter and has been staying in that woman's yard for the past few days."
The subordinate replied.
