Chapter 413 - Extortion
Chapter 413 Extortion
“Mom, I really don’t want to marry anyone.”
Lan Yaxin begged Xu Yanshan repeatedly, as she did not want to marry a fool.
Lan Anran looked at her quietly with a smile, not saying anything.
She knew it would be like this. If it were anyone else, they would definitely accept this honor, but Lan Yaxin was a proud person and doing so would undoubtedly be a humiliation to her. She wouldn’t accept it unless it was a last resort.
Even if she accepted the marriage, her life in the future wouldn’t be up to her.
“How can a girl not marry? I chose the best marriage for you. Why don’t you understand me? Forget it, you will understand in the future. After you’re married, you will understand my good intentions.” After she returned home, Lan Yaxin complained about Zou Kun to Zhao Xiumei.
“Grandma, that person is worse than pigs and dogs! I don’t want to marry that fool. Grandma, save me!”
Lan Yaxin cried exactly the same way as when she was about to marry Mo Jinrong.
“When I asked you to marry Mo Jinrong, you weren’t willing and were sobbing profusely. You gave such a good opportunity to Lan Anran. But now you’re crying again? I have found an identical marriage, so why are you unwilling? What exactly do you want?”.
Xu Yanshan was furious just thinking about it. That opportunity should have been Yaxin’s and if she had agreed, she would have become the young lady of the Mo Family. That woman wouldn’t have had the chance to flaunt herself in front of her. “Who knew that Mo Jinrong was pretending? But Zou Kun is really silly. Mom, you can’t push me into this fiery pit.”
Lan Yaxin cried.
“What do you mean by pushing you into a fiery pit? I’m your biological mother, would I harm you? I’m guiding you towards a blessed path. Why are you so disobedient? Mom, this child humiliated me in public. She almost ruined the marriage. Why can’t I scold her?” Xu Yanshan said furiously.
Zhao Xiumei had no choice but to pat her shoulders.
“Good granddaughter, I didn’t have a good idea either. Back then, I really didn’t know Mo Jinrong was such a person, but it’s too late for regrets now. The son of the Zou Family might be silly, but your mom said that he dotes on his wife. Wouldn’t that be better than any man?
Listen to me and marry into the family obediently. It will be much better than marrying into the Mo Family and becoming a young mistress.”
Lan Yaxin looked up at her grandmother with tears in her eyes. She finally understood that no one could help her now, only she could.
“How could you say that? How could you bear for your dearest granddaughter to marry a fool? Marry him if you want to, I don’t want to marry that fool.”
“Why are you so insensible? I have already said to them all the good things and bad things. Can you think about your mom and dad? Your dad is still in jail and he is waiting to come out to live in a big house. There isn’t even any food in the house, what else do you want?”
Xu Yanshan was furious. She had put in so much effort for her daughter’s sake, but her daughter didn’t understand her at all.
“Am I going to be your money making tool?”
The moment Lan Yaxin finished speaking, Xu Yanshan slapped her.
“B*stard! You have no conscience. I spent so much effort on this matter, how dare you speak to me like this?”
Lan Yaxin covered her face with her hand and cried helplessly.
At this moment, she didn’t want to say anything, so she could only open the door and run out helplessly.
“Go, don’t come back if you leave! This is outrageous! You don’t have a say in this family. You have to marry him no matter what!” Xu Yanshan said furiously.
“Yanshan, how can you hit her like that?” Zhao Xiumei said furiously.
“Mom, she has to be educated. I spent so much effort to get her to marry the young master of the Zou Family, but she doesn’t appreciate it. Do you know why she can’t beat that woman? It’s because she is stupid and arrogant. It wasn’t easy to find a marriage that can bring us glory, but she isn’t willing. She can’t run far and will be back soon.”
Xu Yanshan didn’t chase after her, as she was frustrated enough.
“Yaxin is young and impulsive. She definitely wouldn’t be willing to marry a fool. This was facilitated by that brat. Is there a problem?”
Zhao Xiumei was a little worried. After all, that brat was full of evil tricks and had never treated them kindly.
“I think the young master of the Zou Family is a good person. If she really wanted to trick us, she wouldn’t have introduced such a good thing to us.”
“I don’t think that’s a good thing. After all, that person is a fool, no matter how I look at it, Yaxin is at a disadvantage,” Zhao Xiumei calculated internally and said.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Xu Yanshan smiled and said, “What did I say? She’ll be back soon.”
Xu Yanshan took her time to open the door.
“You brat, you only know how to run…”
“Hey!”
Xu Yanshan’s face fell.
“Who is it?” Zhao Xiumei asked in confusion.
“Old Mrs. Lan, how has your health been recently?”
It was Old Wang at the door. He hadn’t been here to disturb them in a long time. This family had probably forgotten about him, right?
“What are you doing here?”
Zhao Xiumei glanced at him angrily and saw that he was wearing a large gold chain and had gold teeth. She was furious. He must have bought these things with the money he got from threatening them.
“Sis-in-law, Old Mrs. Lan, I haven’t been coming to look for you recently, so you must have forgotten about me. Don’t you know how to transfer money when the time is right? My money is tight, so I came to look for you.”
Old Wang smiled, showing his big golden teeth.
These things were bought with Lan Tingyi’s money. He hadn’t come to find them these past few months because his mother had died of illness. He had been silent for a while and in the last moments of his mother’s life, he had let her enjoy the luxuries she hadn’t enjoyed before. Old Wang felt that it was worth it.
His mother had passed away and he still lived in the house she left behind. He didn’t have much money and was thinking of coming to find Lan Tingyi again.
“Pfft! You shameless thing, you dare to come over? How dare you threaten us when you didn’t finish your job? Don’t you know that Lan Tingyi is in jail? If you want money, go find him. I don’t have any. We don’t even have any rice to cook, so I don’t have any extra money for you.”
Xu Yanshan was about to close the door when Old Wang stopped her.
“Sis-in-law! You can’t say that. I know he’s in jail, but he still has his wife and child, right? Don’t you know that it is customary for a son to pay for his father’s debts? So your daughter can make money to repay the debts.”
Old Wang continued to speak wretchedly.
