Chapter 53: A Better Method

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“It’s not like that, Anran is a good child.”

Lan Tingyun tried his best to explain, but it wasn’t enough.

“Lan Tingyi, do you think you’re so faithful? Aren’t you usually gambling or drinking? There are at least 50 or 100 women who have been by your side, right? You relied on my dad to have all these assets. Without him, what are you? Xu Yanshan, your bag is worth 100,000 yuan, which is also my dad’s money. The money you use for mahjong everyday is also my dad’s money. Lan Yaxin, your school fees are also paid for by my dad’s money.

“You may be faithful, but if you didn’t depend on my dad to give Grandma some retirement money every month, would you be here today?”

Lan Anran smiled brightly, her eyes cold.

“Nonsense! I… I use the money from my investments. We didn’t touch a single yuan from your grandma’s retirement money. Didn’t we give it to you last time?”

Xu Yanshan was a little guilty.

“That was because I stopped you this month. In the past, Xu Yanshan, I respected you and called you Auntie, but now that you are bullying our family, I’m not afraid of losing you! You’re referring to mahjong when you say you’re investing your money? From what I know, your mahjong skills are horrible. You lose every round!”

Lan Anran smiled.

Damn it!

How does she know everything?

“Lan Anran, don’t talk nonsense. My parents didn’t do such things. On the other hand, Second Uncle only knows to earn money everyday and he hasn’t visited Grandma in a month. How dare he talk about us?”

Lan Yaxin was unconvinced.

“Lan Yaxin, you have the cheek to say that? Has Uncle ever been home after he takes our money? After he gets the money, he gambles and goes to bars to find girls. He thinks I don’t know? Grandma probably doesn’t see him even once a month. Every day he is busy and the excuse is always the same.

Where do you go to put in a good word for your parents every day? Old Mrs. Lan is obsessed with you.

Your family has hands and feet. Instead of earning money, all you know is to pester the elderly. The older one is taking the younger one to live off others. Today, Old Mrs. Lan came to get money again, but unexpectedly, she beat her son after a few words. Since she couldn’t beat him, she’s trying to frame him? I’m convinced!”

Lan Tingyi and his family’s faces changed, one moment green and the next white.

A weak voice came from behind, “He is my son, I can educate him as I want. How dare you, little girl, lecture me? That is my son’s money, I can spend it as I want. I’m old, isn’t it only right for me to have some retirement money?”

Zhao Xiumei cried again as she spoke. There was a big piece of gauze exposed on her head and there was even a little trace of blood, making her look extremely pitiful.

She was good at making use of people’s sympathy and was able to refute a wave of sympathy in an instant.

“I can’t control you. You are my grandma, but it isn’t out of bounds for me to talk about my uncle’s family. They have been living off of their elders and my dad’s hard-earned money. They are already so old and yet, they don’t know shame. They actually have the cheek to come over and say that they are filial. The most unfilial of all is you!

My dad gives Grandma at least 200,000 yuan a month and Uncle gets 100,000 yuan. Who is the unfilial one?”

Lan Anran refused to be outdone.

The crowd split into two groups.

Some pitied Lan Tingyun. He raised his whole family alone and it wasn’t easy for him to have a troublesome uncle and a biased old mother.

Some pitied Old Mrs. Lan. No matter what, she shouldn’t have hit an old woman. It was wrong for a youth to hit an elder.

“I may be living off my mom, but at least I didn’t beat anyone. Lan Tingyun, you say something to your daughter. Mom is so old and your daughter beat her up so easily. Since that’s the case, I’ll avenge her. I won’t accept this grievance for nothing!”

Lan Tingyi raised his hand to hit her.

“Wait! I know you want an eye for an eye, but there can be a better solution.”

Lan Anran smiled.

“A better solution?”

Xu Yanshan frowned, not knowing what she meant.

Lan Anran took out the bank card that was confiscated from last time and smiled.

“There is one million yuan on this bank card. You can choose if you want one million or to hit me. If you choose to hit me, the one million will be gone and from now on, the money given to Grandma will be halved and what you will get will be even less. Choosing one million will mean giving up on avenging Grandma. That being said, we won’t have any money to give you in the next two months, you can choose.”

Lan Tingyi and Xu Yanshan looked at each other. This brat really knew how to set multiple choice questions.

In fact, they didn’t really want to avenge Old Mrs. Lan, mainly because they wanted more compensation and retirement money. But with so many people watching, it wouldn’t look good if they took it back now that word had spread.

Lan Yaxin looked at the bank card in her hand and was furious, because she knew her parents would definitely pick the money, so she wanted to slap Lan Anran.

“Hurry up and choose, there won’t be anything left if you take too long…”

Lan Anran smiled.

Lan Tingyi looked at Old Mrs. Lan. Xu Yanshan looked at her bank card and couldn’t bear to part with it. It was one million yuan. Lan Tingyun would only give her a little bit of the retirement money, which wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

Zhao Xiumei rolled her eyes and reached for the bank card.

“I’ll accept this money as compensation.”

They were overjoyed. If Mom accepted the money, wouldn’t they have hope?
