Chapter 853 Take Money If You Want to Take People Away
Pan Hong turned around and kicked him, sending him flying onto the sofa. Then he opened the door and ran away.
"Oh dear, Pan Yi..." Wang hurriedly helped Pan Yi up.
Yang Feng looked at the swaying door and saw Pan Hong quickly run downstairs, but he didn't chase after him.
Run away, you can run away but you can't hide.
Hearing the commotion, Pan Xiaohua came out from the kitchen. "Where's Second Brother?"
Wang said, "That heartless bastard hit your older brother and then ran away."
Pan Xiaohua: "..."
Wang felt extremely distressed seeing Pan Yi's pale face. "Pan Yi, how are you?"
Pan Yi clutched his chest, and it took him a long time to recover.
"Damn it, Mom, look what happened to the second son, ugh~~"
"Oh dear, stop talking, come on, sit down and let me see you."
Wang was biased; of course she was biased.
The two daughters are going to get married, and the younger son is going to marry into another family. Their children will all belong to other families, leaving only the eldest son in the family.
Only the eldest daughter of the family gave birth to a son, and only the eldest daughter is a member of the Pan family. If she doesn't care about Pan Yi, who else should she care about?
Pan Yi angrily pushed her away, "I'm fine, damn Pan Hong, this can't end like this."
Wang also said, "Don't worry, I don't believe there's no reason in this world. It's a fact that he put me in jail, and this isn't over."
Pan Yi nodded.
The two had made up their minds that if Pan Hong didn't come up with a compensation plan, they would never let the matter rest.
Of course, there's also Pan Xiaohua.
They never imagined that the brat was worth so much money, 20,000 yuan! They couldn't even dream of it.
Even when Pan Hong married into a wealthy family, he didn't have this much money.
Uh... of course, money isn't as valuable now as it was a few years ago.
In fact, this was all of Yang Feng's wealth after buying the house, which he handed over to Pan Xiaohua as part of the betrothal gifts.
What he said to his parents wasn't wrong; once married, they're all family, and there's no difference between his and Pan Xiaohua's marriages.
Wang smiled and looked at Yang Feng, saying, "Son-in-law, a few days ago you said your parents were here and there were some things you couldn't say. I understand what you mean. You want to be good to our Xiaohua, but your parents can't bear to see their son, whom they raised with so much care, showing affection to someone else. I've been through this, and I completely understand their feelings. Now that your parents have gone back, shouldn't we talk about the bride price?"
To keep them from making a fuss, Yang Feng used these words to calm Wang Shi and Pan Yi down the day before yesterday.
Yang Feng nodded and said, "Let's talk then, but like I said, I've already given the money to Xiao Hua."
Wang's smile froze for a moment, and she said, "This is not in accordance with the rules. I have worked hard to raise her to adulthood, so the bride price should be given to me to repay my kindness in raising her. What do you think?"
"Well... but Xiaohua said she has no money."
Ok?
Wang's smile crumbled. "What do you mean? Twenty thousand yuan gone?"
"Actually, Xiaohua has a lot of debt, and we have been paying it off all these years."
"Debt?"
"Yes, treating Lanlan's arm and paying for her schooling both cost money. Now the sisters are working for others, and the little money they earn is barely enough to cover the family's expenses. They can only pay back a portion of the debt each year, and they haven't paid it off yet."
They dared not say that the store belonged to Pan Xiaohua; they only told them that Pan Xiaohua and Pan Xiaocao both worked at the store, and Pan Lanlan would also help out on weekends.
They were struggling to make ends meet, and they hadn't even finished paying off the debts they owed for treating Pan Lanlan's arm years ago.
Hearing him say that, Wang and Pan Yi looked very uncomfortable.
They believed this, because in their eyes, girls were a waste of money, and no matter how capable they were, they couldn't compare to sons.
They wouldn't believe Pan Xiaohua made a lot of money; it's more believable that she worked for someone else.
"Big brother, I heard from Xiaohua that you're planning to take Lanlan back with you?"
Pan Yi nodded, "That's the plan. She's not young anymore. In a few years, I'll find her a husband in our hometown, so it'll be close to home."
"When Xiaohua brought him out, didn't you take a sum of money and say you wouldn't take care of her anymore?"
Pan Yi: "..."
Wang said, "They were just joking, how can you take it seriously? Lanlan is Pan Yi's daughter, how can she be raised by her aunt? Now that Xiaohua is married to you, you will have your own children in the future. If Lanlan continues to stay here, won't she just cause you trouble?"
Pan Yi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it was fine before Xiao Hua got married, but now that Xiao Hua is married, I can't let Lan Lan stay here and cause you trouble."
Yang Feng cursed them under his breath for being shameless.
They didn't want him when he was disabled, but now that his arm is healed and he's grown up, he's ready to get a dowry and marry him off. And now they're spouting nonsense about not wanting to cause them any trouble.
"We still owe money for treating that arm. Since you want to take Lanlan back, brother, could you lend us some money?"
Pan Yi's expression changed.
Wang snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, I think you're obsessed with money. You just got married to Xiaohua and all you talk about is money, money, money. What? Are you after our family's money?"
At this moment, Pan Xiaohua flung open the door and stared at Wang Shi and Pan Yi, saying, "Who's got money on their mind?"
Two people: "..."
"Eldest brother, Mother, just because I haven't said anything doesn't mean you're right. Don't you know why you wanted to switch Second Brother's child in the first place?"
Wang said, "Isn't it all for your second brother's sake? He thought that if he had a son, his life would be easier in the Fu family."
"Pah, you can only fool yourself with that."
"Hey, you brat, what kind of talk is that?"
“That’s what I said. My older brother didn’t go to the court hearing, but I did. I heard the whole story clearly.”
Wang: "..."
"You used to covet the Fu family's money, now you covet mine. With such brains, why don't you find ways to make more money from outsiders instead of focusing on squeezing money from your own family?"
She flung open the window and pointed downstairs, saying, "Look at the pedestrian street across the street. Anyone with hands and feet, even an old man, is making money by roasting sweet potatoes."
Look at those small vendors; they're all from poor families. They don't spend their days scheming to cheat their own families out of money; instead, they find ways to earn money from outsiders so their families can live a better life. Can't you all be a little more ambitious and learn from them?
These words left Wang and Pan Yi speechless.
However, a few seconds later, the two of them started cursing at Pan Xiaohua again.
Wang: "Are you saying that I'm not as good at making money as you are, old man?"
Pan Yi: "How can you be so treacherous? The Pan family has raised you for nothing."
Wang plopped down on the ground, slapping her thigh and wailing, "Oh dear, I'm useless! I'm incapable of making money, incapable of giving you, Pan Xiaohua, a good life. If you're so capable, why don't you learn from Fu Leyi and be born into a rich family?"
Pan Yi glared at Pan Xiaohua, "Look how angry you've made your mother! A son doesn't despise his mother for being ugly, and a dog doesn't despise his home for being poor. I'd rather raise a dog than you."
