As soon as he sat down on the stool, he didn't even have time to drink the tea. Qinghe touched Xiao Jingyan with his arm. This small gesture did not hide the eyes of Xiao's mother. She pretended not to notice and put the banknotes and silver in the small box, ready to

Xiao Jingyan spoke when he asked Aunt Gui to hide.

"Mother, my son has something to discuss with you."

As expected, Xiao Mu's eyes swept over Qing He and sneered. How could she not know this woman's little thoughts?

"Say it!"

"Grandma promised to give Qinghe a dowry before, but I wonder if it can be brought forward. Qinghe has recently developed a rash on his face and needs to buy some medicine, so the dowry..."

Xiao's mother was not a vegetarian, and said directly: "I have to discuss this with your grandmother about the appropriate amount of dowry. What's more, it's not settled yet. The dowry will naturally come with the wedding sedan on the wedding day, so why are you so anxious."

"But mother..."

"Okay, I'm tired, you go back!"

Qinghe was kicked out of the room before she even opened her mouth. She could only step on Xiao Jingyan's instep to make him continue to speak.

When Xiao Jingyan got up, he heard the butler's voice outside.

"Madam, someone came to the door to make trouble."

"What?" Xiao's mother hurriedly lifted up her skirt, "Who dares to come to our Xiao Mansion to cause trouble?"

"They all took the money yesterday. When they heard that Miss Yue Ya was not dead, they clamored to get the money back."

"These people who have suffered thousands of knives, haven't they already eaten at our Xiao Mansion? How dare they return members' money? It's shameless."

Although Xiao's mother looked down on these relatives, it was still embarrassing to be blocked at the door, so she went out to see them.

Yue Ya was still sleeping when she heard Chun'er's excited voice, and she was awakened from her sleep by Chun'er.

"Miss, please stop sleeping, something big has happened."

Yue Ya stood up and said a little tiredly: "What's going on? It's unbecoming of you to look like this. A woman's family should be in a safe place."

"I can't be sure. I'm too excited. It's been known that Xiao's mother collected money from family members for your funeral. Now those relatives and friends are coming to the house and clamoring for a refund."

"Oh! Who are they?" Yue Ya was a little curious. She guessed right. Something was wrong with Xiao's mother, especially Xiao Botong's mother, who was not a vegetarian.

My family has been smart until now.

After finally finding out Xiao's mother's fault, how could she not encourage those relatives to make trouble together.

However, returning to the trouble is just what she wants.

"Change and let's go to the theater."

"Okay! Miss."

Xiao's mother was afraid that those shallow-sighted relatives would tell the story about the money at the door of Xiao's house and make the people laugh, so she invited them into the house.

There were about forty people who came, as if they had made an agreement. One representative from a family came, and there were also people holding children. The huge living room was full, and many younger people could not sit down and so stood.

There are only a few servants in the Xiao family, but so many people came at once that they couldn't even supply tea.

"Mrs. Xiao, you must know the purpose of our visit today?" Although Xiaobotong's mother is only more than ten years older than Xiao's mother, she is also a generation older. Even though she is old, she has a monkey-like air.

He looks like a monkey spirit and speaks quite convincingly.

Over the years, she has been actively clamoring for a family separation. She does not want to have anything to do with Mrs. Xiao. She has resentment in her heart and is not willing to worship Mr. Xiao. She lives alone with Xiao Botong in the Xiao family's private residence and does not interact with anyone. But in her heart,

His hatred for Mrs. Xiao has not diminished at all.

She had someone she liked back then. If Mrs. Xiao hadn't promised her to Master Xiao as a concubine, she wouldn't have been left out for half her life. She wanted to live like this without fighting for it, but her son Xiao Botong's words reminded her.

she.

"My mother is going to be oppressed by that old lady Xiao for the rest of her life? Half of my mother's life has been ruined. Don't you want to take revenge?"

She hesitated for a day, but finally wanted to take revenge.

Xiao's mother naturally despised the woman in front of her, and she was disgusted by the fact that she was leading people to make trouble, but she couldn't embarrass an elder in front of so many people, so she said, "Aunt Tian is just fanning the flames and asking everyone to come and get some members."

Money? But what you always do is not kind at all."

"I didn't know that Yue Ya was dead until last night. You have all eaten for the whole day. You have given me the money and eaten the food. It is time to entertain the guests for the night. How can there be any reason to take back the money?"

Tian Cui said with a displeased expression: "First, it would be inappropriate for you to have a funeral before Miss Yueya died. Later, we thought that Miss Yueya had divorced her husband, and even if something happened to her, it wouldn't be your Xiao family's turn to hold the funeral.

Isn’t this a deliberate attempt to deprive us of money by organizing funerals?”

"Yes! This is intentional. This Yue Ya is no longer a member of your Xiao family. How can you have the nerve to take care of it for her?"

"Who's to say otherwise? You're organizing a funeral for someone under the pretext that they're dead. Those who don't know think you're a good mother-in-law and have feelings for Yue Ya. Those who know can guess that you have ulterior motives."

"Mrs. Xiao, it's not that we are just asking for money, it's just that no one's money comes from the strong wind. After all, your family, Mrs. Xiao, still has a title, but we are all ordinary people, businessmen and even

Farmers, all they earn is hard-earned money, you are so unkind."

Hearing these left and right sentences, Xiao's mother blushed, while Yue Ya, who was standing at the door, felt a little gloating about the misfortune. Chun'er couldn't wait to go in, but was blocked by Yue Ya.

"Chun'er, don't be too hasty in doing things, or the drama will be lost."

"Miss, what else is there to do?"

Yue Ya smiled, made a crescent-shaped hand to cover her face, and whispered into her ear: "Go and invite Grandma Jin to watch the show."

"Why invite her?"

"Because Aunt Jin is my grandmother's spy, of course she has to know about such good things. Xiao's mother hides it well because she doesn't want my grandmother to know about it, so I just can't do what she wants."

"Yes, miss, I'll go right away."

Seeing Chun'er about to leave, Yue Ya continued: "By the way, remember to report to the government that someone in the Xiao family is causing trouble and is about to start a fight. Just tell the messenger that he was sent by Xiao's mother."

"Okay, miss."

Xiao's mother said in a deep voice: "Although Yue Ya has nothing to do with Jing Yan, we have always regarded Yue Ya as our biological daughter. If she dies, we as parents must help her hold a funeral!"

"Besides, I've already provided you with food and drink for the whole day, and you still have the nerve to ask for such a small amount of money. If you tell me that you're not shy, I'll have no shame."

Qing He was afraid that his dowry would be gone, so he said: "Yes! There is no reason to put money in other people's pockets and then take it back. It's just like items. Since you gave them away, you still lick your face to ask for them. If you can, eat them.

Spit it out."

As soon as these words were said, the living room was filled with excitement. Someone shouted, "Who do you think you are? How dare a foreigner who has not yet married into the Xiao Mansion speak before the master."
