After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Hearing this, Jiang Yuyue sneered inwardly. She thought the Xie family had forgotten about the dowry, but she didn't expect them to still have their eyes on it.

However, Jiang Yuyue had already prepared a plan, so she was naturally not afraid of their questions.

"This one……"

Seeing the troubled look on Jiang Yuyue's face, Xie Yuan immediately continued to press her, "What a good sister-in-law you are! Just now you were talking about the Xie family in front of us, but now you won't even hand over your dowry!"

"Even at a time like this, you still have selfish motives? Are you planning to lure us to this shabby place so you can run away tomorrow?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious. Old Madam Xie also asked in a deep voice, "Yue'er, where is your dowry?!"

“Sister Yuan’er and Grandmother have truly misunderstood.”

Jiang Yuyue sighed helplessly, "It's not that I deliberately didn't bring out my dowry, but that my dowry has already been used up."

"What!?"

Madam Xie was shocked to hear this. "Your dowry was so generous, how could it have been used up so quickly!?"

"Mother, have you forgotten about when your daughter-in-law took your third brother to the capital to find a renowned doctor?"

Jiang Yuyue said with some helplessness, "At least it was my daughter-in-law who brought up the idea, so she didn't ask the family for travel expenses when she went to the capital."

"But the capital is thousands of miles away. The food, clothing, and lodging for the few of us along the way will be a considerable expense. Moreover, the doctor we have found is the famous Physician Baili, so his consultation fee is naturally the most expensive. In addition, the medicinal herbs that Physician Baili prescribed for my third brother are extremely rare."

“My daughter-in-law was too embarrassed to ask my grandmother for money because we were struggling financially. So I subsidized my third brother’s expenses from my own dowry. Before long, my dowry was all gone.”

Upon hearing this, Madam Xie's eyes widened, and she glared fiercely at Xie Jinglan, who was standing to the side.

He no longer needed a wheelchair, and his tall and elegant figure stood out among the Xie family members.

What's more, she was born with such a beautiful, ethereal appearance.

The more Madam Xie looked at him, the more she thought of her Yun Qi, and she felt resentful.

If her Yunqi were still alive, he could definitely support the Xie family, instead of ending up in such a sorry state!

Having fallen to such a state, the Xie family simply abandoned their family lineage.

"He's a useless cripple who still managed to squander your entire dowry?! Do you really have too much money to burn?! How could you waste it on someone like that?!"

Xie Yuan found it even more unbelievable, and, hands on her hips, questioned, "You sure know how to make excuses! How could you possibly have used them all up?! I'd like to see what kind of medicinal herbs are so precious!"

"Show us your prescription!"

Faced with the aggressive Xie family, Xie Jinglan did not argue, but simply gestured for Jixiang to produce the prescription.

After searching through the prescription, Jixiang handed it to Xie Yuan, whose face darkened upon seeing the names of the herbs on it.

Although she was not knowledgeable about pharmacology, just by looking at the names of the medicinal herbs, she knew that these things must be extremely rare.

Unexpectedly, so much money was actually spent on medicine for this useless person. Xie Yuan was so angry that she tore the prescription to shreds.

Looking at the fierce gazes cast upon them by the Xie family from top to bottom, as if they wished they could devour their master alive, Jixiang sighed that the Xie family were truly opportunists.

It was clearly the Xie family who insisted on treating His Highness's illness, yet they were wrongly accused in the end.

Seeing the family's resentful expressions, no one cared that the money was spent to prolong his life.

Jiang Yuyue gained an even deeper understanding of the ugly nature of the Xie family.

However, Xie Jinglan knew that she still had some money left over, enough to allow the Xie family to move out of such a dilapidated house. If Xie Jinglan was willing to plead for them, Jiang Yuyue might consider it out of respect for the fact that he was the father of her unborn child...

During the time he was still alive, he was slightly less harsh on the Xie family.

Jiang Yuyue observed the expression on his face. If Xie Jinglan truly felt any pity for these family members, he would surely reveal the fact that she still had money when he saw their harsh living conditions again.

However, Xie Jinglan remained silent in the face of the Xie family's accusations.

Compared to his composure, the Xie family seemed like clowns.

Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but curl her lips slightly as she met his thick, dark eyes.

They looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

What he said today was indeed true.

Looking at Xie Jinglan's appearance, Jiang Yuyue suddenly felt that he was quite obedient and pleasing to the eye.

In this way, you can continue to implement your plan with peace of mind.

"All right."

In the end, it was Jiang Yuyue who stepped forward to ease the tense situation. "The money has already been spent. No matter how much Mother scolds Third Brother now, the money won't come back. It's getting late, and this is the only place we can stay now. Let's quickly pack our things and go inside."

Hearing this, Madam Xie's face filled with sorrow again, and she sighed, "It's all a sin, all a sin!"

The servant pushed open the door first. The house already looked quite dilapidated from the outside, but once inside, the situation was even more dire.

Upon entering, everyone saw the ground overgrown with weeds, the pillars supporting the roof beams looking unbearable and seemingly on the verge of collapse, and the roof riddled with holes.

Such living conditions are worse than even the Xie family's doghouse.

Madam Xie coughed repeatedly, choked by the flying dust. She looked around and saw that the house seemed to have only two small courtyards, and couldn't help but complain.

"I think there are only two courtyards here. How can so many of us fit in?"

"At times like this, we can't complain."

Jiang Yuyue helplessly spread her hands, and then continued, "This is the only place we can live now, so let's hurry up and divide the courtyard."

She pointed to the courtyard on the right with her slender hand, "It's a two-courtyard house, not very big. My grandmother, mother and father live in this courtyard."

"The courtyard next door is a single-courtyard house, but it's a bit bigger than the one on the right. Uncle and Aunt, Erlang, and little sisters Yuan'er and Zhi'er will live here."

When Xie Yuan heard that she would have to squeeze with so many people, she felt extremely aggrieved and immediately raised her voice.

"There are only two courtyards here, and you've clearly divided us up. So where will you live? Is there some bigger courtyard that you've reserved for yourself?"

"how could be?"

Jiang Yuyue smiled slowly, "Since you asked, then come with me."

Led by Jiang Yuyue, the group arrived at the back gate of the mansion, where a smaller courtyard had been added. It was easy to see that this courtyard looked even more dilapidated than the two rooms they had just seen.

"We didn't have enough space, so when I was looking for a place yesterday, I had someone build this little courtyard on the spot."

Jiang Yuyue explained, "How could we leave such a dilapidated place to our elders and younger sister? This courtyard has two rooms, east and west, where my third brother and I will stay."
