Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 829 - 829 Eyeing the Bride’s Dowry

829 Eyeing the Bride’s Dowry

“Hey, that’s great! I wonder what kind of job big brother is going to arrange for me? I can also do any job! I’m sure that working in the city is not as tiring as farming at home!” Ma Yan’s smile bloomed.

“Then you can be a cleaner in my company! It just so happens that the security room at the entrance of the unit is relatively large, so you can live in it as a family of three. This way, you can even save on the rent!”

Yun Gang had made clear arrangements for this matter.

Yun Gang kept emphasizing ‘my company’. It seemed that Yun Gang really regarded himself as one of the bosses of Chengguan Jewelry.

“Alright, alright, alright! I’ll do whatever you say, big brother!”

Ma Yan thought that it was just cleaning the place, so it should not be too tiring! The salary should be much higher than farming in the village! Now that the family had a place to live, Ma Yan also felt that she was about to live the life of a city person!

Ma Yan did not forget to mock Yun Shan while she was enjoying the benefits that Yun Gang had brought her.

“Big brother is still big brother! If something happened in the family, we would have to rely on our eldest brother to deal with it personally, unlike some people who were not even willing to help their own brothers! He’s as cold-blooded as a venomous snake!”

Although Ma Yan did not mention any names, her eyes were fixed on Yun Shan.

Yun Shan felt a little uncomfortable from being stared at and immediately turned to look elsewhere.

Yun Xi could not be bothered by Ma Yan’s smug look.

“Alright! Other than this, I have something else to say.” Seeing that Yun Lin’s family’s work problem had been solved, the Old Madam once again made her request.

“Since this Guan Hong has already married into our family, she’s also considered a member of our Yun family. No matter what, I’m still her mother-in-law! I think it’s better for me to keep Guan Hong’s dowry with me.”

Yesterday, Ma Yan deceived Guan Hong, into bringing the dowry. The Old Madam was a money-grubber and could not stand a few words of Ma Yan’s instigation. She could only think about taking all of Guan Hong’s dowry into her own pocket.

It was a good thing that Guan Hong was not in the hotel because of his business at the border. Otherwise, if such a hot-tempered person knew that the Old Madam had such thoughts, she probably would not show any mercy to the Old Madam for the sake of Yun Gang. She might even have ordered her bodyguards to chase the Old Madam out of the hotel.

Although Yun Xi did not think that Guan Hong was a good person, at least there was no enmity between the two of them.

Yun Xi still wanted to speak up for her aunt.

“Grandma, I’ve never heard of a daughter-in-law keeping her dowry with her mother-in-law. Besides, eldest aunt has her own business now, so her money should be given to her for safekeeping!”

Yun Xi did not want to speak up for Guan Hong, but she did not want Ma Yan to succeed.

“What do you mean? So what if we do it now?”

“My son! Mother is also thinking for you. Think about it, this girl’s family is richer and has a better background than ours! If you don’t take advantage of this woman when you’re both newly wedded, what position will you have in this family in the future?”

The Old Madam then looked at Yun Gang.

“This…”

Right now, Yun Gang’s life was supported by Guan Hong’s money. Naturally, he did not dare to covet Guan Hong’s dowry, nor did he want to agree to the Old Madam’s request.

“Big brother isn’t afraid of his wife, is he? I did not expect that big brother, who usually looked so powerful, was actually afraid of his wife now! It turns out that time can really change everything. It turns out that I’ve really overestimated big brother!”

Ma Yan made sarcastic remarks from the side, trying to goad the Old Madam into getting Guan Hong’s dowry.

As long as Guan Hong’s dowry could reach the Old Madam’s hands, Ma Yan would think of other ways to get some from the Old Madam.

Even if the Old Madam was stingy and unwilling to share it with her, Ma Yan could not let Yun Gang’s family’s days go on so smoothly.

If she did not have a smooth life, she would not let others have a smooth life!
