A scumbag man trying to climb the social ladder? She turns around and marries a celibate military of

"Mu Xiaowan, I'm not getting any money or anything anyway, so why should I let you have it easy?"

Liu Guilan stood with her hands on her hips, spitting as she spoke, "I'm not afraid the Chu family won't want you. I raised this daughter all these years, only to have it turn out to be a losing proposition. If that's the case, you might as well come home with me. That dead-wife Sun Er next door, no matter how many times you've been married, he won't look down on you. He might even give me 20 yuan as a bride price, which is better than nothing."

At this moment, Mu Xiao'e quickly stepped forward to play the good guy.

"Mom, don't be angry. My sister has always been the most filial person. She was just joking with you. Let me say a few words to her."

Mu Xiao'e looked sensible and reasonable.

"Sister, Mom is doing this for your own good. She's afraid you'll lose the money. Giving Mom the money is like her saving it for you. If you need it urgently, Mom will give it to you. Don't let money ruin your relationship with Mom."

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan remained unmoved, Mu Xiao'e became somewhat anxious.

Is Mu Xiaowan so distraught because He Yongsheng broke off the engagement with her? Why is she becoming more and more disobedient?

"Hurry up and take out the money. Don't deliberately upset Mom. She's capable of anything when she's angry. You know that Sun Er next door is already 53 years old and has two bachelor sons, one of whom is mentally challenged. If you marry him, you'll have to serve three men in the future."

"My sister is so understanding! I know you're doing this for my own good."

Mu Xiao'e was secretly delighted; she had almost embarrassed herself.

Mu Xiaowan smiled slightly and said softly, "Since that's the case, then you should marry Sun Er and give the twenty yuan to Mom. After all, I already have a husband and can't remarry. You're of marriageable age too, so if you marry him, we'll all be happy."

"you……"

Mu Xiao'e's face was extremely ugly.

"Sister, I'm your sister, how could you treat me like this?"

"I am your sister, why are you treating me like this?"

Mu Xiaowan gave her a cold glance, then looked away at He Yongli.

It seems He Yongli is still not giving up.

Let Liu Guilan and Mu Xiao'e make a scene.

Sensing Mu Xiaowan's sharp, warning gaze, He Yongli gave Mu Baogui a shove.

The two then worked together to persuade Liu Guilan.

He Yongli whispered to Liu Guilan, "Mom, if we don't take the bride price this time, Xiaowan will owe us something. We can't really say anything now that she's getting married. Let's have a good talk with Xiaowan tomorrow. We don't have to take the money. Let her talk to Chu Junbai and find Baogui a good job."

“We can ask for the money back slowly. As long as we come to the city every day, she might find it too much trouble and give it all to us after a while.”

Liu Guilan thought He Yongli was right; this brat couldn't escape her grasp anyway.

"Then why don't we stay here? It's so nice here, with food, drink, and people to wait on us." Liu Guilan was fascinated by this big house. You see, she had never seen such a big house in her life, let alone lived in it.

I can show off to the villagers when I go back in the future.

"Mom, we'll take you to the provincial capital tomorrow. It's your first time here, you can't just stay here forever, can you?"

Liu Guilan was finally persuaded.

He Yongsheng's eyes were fixed on Mu Xiaowan.

Today, Mu Xiaowan has put on makeup and drawn her eyebrows, making her even more radiant and charming.

But her aura had completely changed; she used to be gentle, but now she was cold, as if she didn't care about anyone.

Is it because she loves him so much that she deliberately acts so cruelly in an attempt to win him back?

Why do I always pick on that bitch?

This time, he really shot himself in the foot. After going around in circles, Mu Xiaowan threw the trouble he had caused back at him.

Mu Xiaowan saw the people downstairs, and kept an eye on them to prevent them from running into the Chu family and causing any further trouble.

He Yongsheng's future was in Mu Xiaowan's hands, so He Yongli didn't dare to do anything. They didn't run into the Chu family when they left the courtyard.

Mu Xiaowan didn't want to cause any trouble, nor did she take them to say goodbye just to save face.

After everyone was crammed into the car, Mu Xiaowan called out to He Yongsheng.

“I just went back and checked. The thousand yuan that Chu Junbai put in the drawer is gone. Either you took it or your sister and the others took it. You'd better find out what happened before they go back. Give me the money. As for whether any intelligence was lost, Chu Junbai is still investigating.”

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the people in the car to hear.

Since nobody wants peace and quiet, then let's not have peace and quiet. These people all have their own agendas, so don't expect to have any peace and quiet when you go back.

Actually, her goal was not just that; she wanted to get back 1,000 yuan in compensation for emotional distress from He Yongsheng.

He Yongsheng was already seething with anger, and now he was inexplicably accused of being a thief. How could he not be angry?

"Mu Xiaowan, don't go too far. I told you I was just going in for a moment and I didn't see your money."

“He Yongsheng, I saw you come out of my bedroom with my own eyes. There were only you and my family on the second floor. It was either you or them. If you want to prove your innocence, then go and find out the truth and return the money.”

Mu Xiaowan was too lazy to waste words with him and turned to walk back.

It seems Ge Qingran really loves He Yongsheng, otherwise she wouldn't have lent He Yongsheng her father's car.

He Yongsheng, given his status, was not qualified to drive.

That's good. Then she'll find a chance to weld the two of them together so they can never be separated again.

Upon returning to the courtyard, she encountered Chu Shaoqing, who was holding a bankbook and walking briskly toward Mu Xiaowan, looking pleased with himself.

"Sister-in-law, I have fulfilled my mission. I'm afraid I might lose this, so please take it to the room and keep it safe!"

Afraid of being seen, Mu Xiaowan quickly snatched the bankbook from his hand and put it into her down jacket pocket.

"Didn't I tell you not to flaunt it? You'll attract thieves."

"It's alright, don't be afraid. Our family isn't an ordinary one. Those petty thieves never come back alive."

"I'm telling you this is something only you and I know. You absolutely cannot mention to anyone else that I asked you to save money for me."

Mu Xiaowan was still a little worried about the immature boy, and threatened him again: "You are the only person I trust. If a third person finds out about this, don't ask me for help in the future. I won't be friends with a traitor."

"Friend? Sister-in-law, do you consider me a friend? Am I the only person you trust?" Chu Shaoqing was extremely excited and grabbed Mu Xiaowan's arm.

Mu Xiaowan slapped his hand away. "That's not the point. The point is that you need to keep it a secret."

"Don't worry, I'll keep this to myself. I won't even tell my second brother."

At that moment, Chu Junbai was standing at the top of the stairs, but Chu Shaoqing's tall figure blocked the view of the petite Mu Xiaowan, so he couldn't see her. They were too far apart, and he couldn't hear what they were saying either.

When Mu Xiaowan saw Chu Junbai, she originally intended to go to the tent to apologize to the elders and explain why her mother had left. However, Chu Junbai stared at her intently, probably waiting for the reason.
