However, she had to face the situation eventually. This time, she needed to deal with Old Lady Ma and her family; otherwise, she would never have a peaceful life.
"Xiao Kuan, Xiao Wang, come with me," Tian Guiying called to the two staff members beside her.
A few people followed Zhou Xiaoying back to the courtyard, where Old Lady Ma and her second son were still standing at the entrance.
Old Lady Ma was gazing into the distance. As soon as she spotted Zhou Xiaoying approaching, she began to scold her. "Heartless wretch! You divorced my son so quickly—have you found someone new already? Let me tell you, now that you’ve divorced him, any money he makes belongs to the second son; it has nothing to do with you."
So they were here for money, Zhou Xiaoying thought, feeling relieved.
"Old Lady, Ma Lianfa was expelled from the factory for committing a crime. How could he still have any money?"
"I already had money; don’t you remember? I’m not Ma Lianfa," Zhou Xiaoying replied.
"Impossible! Didn’t you say you were promoted? The position belongs to my son!"
"You must be lying; I’ve heard about it."
"And this house? The factory allocated it to my son. You’d better take your three good-for-nothing children and get out!" Old Lady Ma was adamant.
"It’s true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask at the factory."
"As for this house, the factory leaders have already said that it’s for us women to live in. It has nothing to do with you." Zhou Xiaoying tried to reason with them.
"I don’t believe you! You’re definitely lying. This house was applied for by my son; it has nothing to do with you. Get out now!"
At that moment, Ma Er tugged at Old Lady Ma’s sleeve and whispered, "Money, money."
Old Lady Ma suddenly remembered their second purpose for coming and immediately said, "And what about my son’s money? What about his savings over the years?"
Now that you’re divorced, his money has nothing to do with you anymore. Hurry up and hand over the money; that all belongs to the Ma family!
Zhou Xiaoying noticed Ma Er's little gesture. She had always known that although Old Lady Ma was domineering, she didn’t have much cunning.
Everything was instigated by Ma Er behind the scenes, including the idea of having them adopt Ma Sanshun.
"Ma Er, if you have something to say, come out and say it yourself instead of always pushing your mother forward."
"I’m telling you today that any money has nothing to do with you. There’s no money at all."
"I haven’t seen a single cent from Ma Lianfa in all these years."
"Go find Ma Lianfa if you want money; I don't have any," Zhou Xiaoying said bluntly.
"Impossible! My brother said he has money. Are you trying to keep it all for yourself?" Ma La'er retorted angrily.
"When did your brother say that? I certainly don't know anything about it," Zhou Xiaoying replied.
"Did your brother say he gave me money?" Zhou Xiaoying pressed on.
At this, Ma La'er fell silent. He remembered that Ma Lianfa had claimed he was keeping all his assets hidden, even from Zhou Xiaoying.
Could it be that Zhou Xiaoying really didn't know? Or was she just deceiving them? With her words, Ma La'er felt uncertain.
However, since they had traveled such a long way, they couldn't return empty-handed, could they?
So Ma La'er stubbornly declared, "You two are a couple. Even if my brother didn't say anything, you must know where he hides his money."
"That money belongs to my brother, not to you."
"Look, I'm not trying to bully you. Just bring out the money, and I'll give you half."
