Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life Chapter 1593 - 1582: Honest Fool

"Are you really not going to lend it?" Old Lady Wang asked one last time, though she had already abandoned hope in her heart.

Ye Xia shook her head, "Zhijie refuses, Mom, why don’t you go to find fourth brother first?"

Old Lady Wang didn’t answer her question but instead replied viciously, "Fine, since you don’t care about me or your elder brother, just pretend you don’t have any family. If Jia Zhihe bullies you in the future, don’t come running back to us."

Ye Xia felt a chill in her heart again, "Mom, stop saying such righteous words, you’ve never stood up for me."

Old Lady Wang was furious, glaring at her sharply, then turned to knock on Niu Xue Mei’s door next door.

Ye Xia’s eyes narrowed, "Mom, why are you looking for Xue Mei? Don’t forget the third brother’s family has long had nothing to do with you."

Old Lady Wang snorted, "Just because he says there’s no relation, does that make it true? I’m still his mother, and now that his whereabouts are unknown, naturally I have the right and duty to care for his wife and daughter."

Ye Xia understood the implication in her mother’s words; she claimed to be caring for them but really wanted to pocket the third brother’s remaining assets!

"Mom, third brother will return, you don’t have the right to deal with his belongings. Before he left, he asked Zhijie and me to take good care of Xue Mei and his two children, and I won’t let you do this."

"What right does a married-out daughter have to meddle in her family’s affairs?" Old Lady Wang said coldly.

Ye Xia blocked her mother’s path, "Mom, brother-in-law and Xue Mei both have the document you signed disowning him as your child, the third brother has nothing to do with you."

"Disownment document? Is blood so easily severed? Who’s ever heard of such a thing?" Old Lady Wang pushed Ye Xia aside, then knocked on the door loudly.

The sudden noise caused the two large dogs in the yard to start barking loudly. Then they heard Ye Congying’s soft shout from inside, "Saihu, Sheng Bao, be quiet, you’ll disturb others."

Ye Xia was extremely anxious now, wishing no one would open the door, because she knew her mother was not someone easily dealt with.

However, the door was opened, and Old Lady Wang and Ye Chun barged in forcefully. Ye Xia quickly turned to call her husband.

Niu Xue Mei looked calmly at the uninvited guests in front of her, as if unaware the person in front of her was there to cause trouble.

Old Lady Wang looked at the unruffled Niu Xue Mei and suddenly found herself speechless, almost as if she didn’t recognize this daughter-in-law at all.

Niu Xue Mei had indeed changed a lot since before. She used to be timid and insecure, but now she was well-groomed, and despite not wearing expensive jewelry, she exuded an aura that made people reluctant to offend her.

This transformation owed much to her years of doing business and reading; engaging with people and acquiring knowledge can indeed change a person’s demeanor, providing them with much confidence.

Someone as fierce as Old Lady Wang found herself suddenly silent in front of her.

"Trespassing in my home, I have the right to report you to the government, please leave immediately," she said coldly.

Old Lady Wang and Ye Chun seemed to finally realize the situation, especially Ye Chun, whose son was still at someone else’s house and naturally wanted to get the silver quickly. Limping forward, he said, "Niu Xue Mei, we’re here to take you home. Ye Qiu’s whereabouts are unknown, how can a woman like you stay outside with children?"

"So you’re here to scheme against my family’s assets," Niu Xue Mei said with a sarcastic smile, "You really haven’t changed a bit, greedy, hypocritical, and selfish."

"Is that how a widow should speak to her mother-in-law and brother-in-law?" Ye Chun said angrily.

Niu Xue Mei’s expression turned cold, her eyes extremely sharp, "Who said something happened to Ye Qiu? Get out of this house immediately."

Just then Ye Xia arrived with Jia Zhihe, she added, "Brother-in-law, please help me kick these two out. Ye Qiu said when he left that apart from us three and second sister’s family, he has no other relatives."

"You want to kick us out?" Old Lady Wang was furious, "I’m not leaving today, let’s see who dares!"

Niu Xue Mei laughed nonchalantly, "Alright, it’s not us who’s in trouble anyway. If you don’t raise the money, Ye Conghui won’t have many good days left."

Old Lady Wang and Ye Chun’s faces changed immediately, indeed, the Qian Family only gave them two days, if they didn’t get the money, Ye Conghui would be ruined!

"Are you really not going to get the money?" Old Lady Wang asked again.

Niu Xue Mei was unafraid, "Mom, you forced us once three years ago, after that incident, we broke off relations. How else did you plan to force me? No matter what, I won’t give money, why should I?"

"You... you might regret it."

"Regret? Shouldn’t it be you and elder brother who regret it now? If you hadn’t repeatedly forced us back then, I wouldn’t be standing idly by today."

This statement struck Old Lady Wang’s heart. She underestimated; if she’d known Ye Qiu and Niu Xue Mei would reach today, why had she been so hasty then? Why sign that agreement at all?

"Elder brother, it’s no use wasting time here, neither family will lend you money," Jia Zhihe said mockingly, "Is this who you call someone with promising prospects? I say he only causes trouble for the family. If you ask me, you shouldn’t save mother-in-law and elder brother either, serve him right for teaching him a lesson that he should know what’s right to do and what’s not."

"Nonsense, he’s going to take the Imperial Examination, how can he go to jail?" Ye Chun’s face turned fierce.

"Imperial Examination? With his grades? It’s been four years, he hasn’t even passed as a child student, yet you expect him to be promising?" Jia Zhihe said with utter sarcasm.

"You’re jealous, your son didn’t pass either, isn’t he still studying?"

"My son didn’t pass, yes, but I haven’t proclaimed him to be someone with promising prospects either, and I’ve been working hard making money, just to earn him more inheritance, allowing him to study a few more years, but just to strengthen the family business in the future. Your family is different, after all, you don’t have as much money as we do, can’t afford such expenses, and Conghui always gets into trouble. It’s better to start earning early, let him understand the hardship of supporting a family."

"Nonsense, the fortune teller said, my son will definitely be promising, then you won’t be able to latch on."

"Fine, if we can’t latch on, we haven’t planned to. Since Ye Conghui is so capable, surely there will be a noble to help. Elder brother, stop coming to us, we don’t count on him for support in the future either. Please leave now, I promised Ye Qiu I wouldn’t let you create a ruckus here, don’t force me to call for help."

"You!" Ye Chun was pushed back at every word, filled with both anger and urgency.

Niu Xue Mei also said to Ye Congying, "Cong Ying, release Saihu and Sheng Bao, let them send the guests off."

The two dogs, now very fierce, made Old Lady Wang and Ye Chun retreat in fear.
