I Have a Wealth Gathering Array
Chapter 501: The Fierce Grandmother
"Aunt Li, I’ll get the evaluation done quickly, and I’ll notify you as soon as the results are out..." Qin Yun said with a smile, "I’ll be on my way now to make arrangements."
"Okay."
Li Fang knew Qin Yun’s purpose, knowing that Qin Yun might be her nephew, her gaze softened a bit.
"Xiaoqian, see Qin off." She said to her daughter.
"Okay, Mom." Xu Xiaoqian nodded, giving a complex look to the young man in front of her who might be her cousin.
"I’ll send Brother off too." Xu Xiaoyou saw Qin Yun was about to leave, threw her pen aside, and quickly ran to Qin Yun’s side.
Watching Xu Xiaoyou, Qin Yun smiled, about to say something.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Xu Xiaoqian opened the door, and an elderly woman walked in, her hair half white, looking around sixty, but in high spirits.
Seeing the elderly woman, Xu Xiaoqian’s expression changed slightly, then quickly said, "Grandma."
The lively Xu Xiaoyou, however, didn’t say a word, standing still with her head slightly lowered.
"Mute? Won’t even call Grandma?"
Seeing Xu Xiaoyou standing there dazed, the elderly woman scolded at once.
After scolding, she casually asked, "Is your mom home?"
As she asked, she noticed Qin Yun.
"Oh? There’s someone else in your house? Xiaoqian, who is this?"
She gave Qin Yun a look, asking in surprise.
Xu Xiaoqian quickly said, "Grandma, this is... a friend of mine."
Nodding, the elderly woman didn’t look at Qin Yun again, swaggering into the room.
When the elderly woman scolded Xu Xiaoyou, Qin Yun subtly furrowed his brow, temporarily not leaving.
"Grandma? Is this my second uncle’s mom?"
Qin Yun thought silently, it seemed Xu Xiaoyou was very afraid of this elderly woman, whose originally lively character became quiet upon encountering her.
"Mom, you’re here? Please have a seat!"
Seeing the elderly woman arrive, Li Fang quickly said.
Watching Li Fang move slowly, struggling to walk, the elderly woman ignored it and sat down on the sofa.
Li Fang knew the elderly woman’s character and asked, "Mom, is there something you want from me?"
The elderly woman took a sip of tea and smiled, "Fang, your dad and I are getting old, so we’re planning to buy insurance, which will cost forty thousand yuan, can you give me that money?"
She smiled and directly stated her purpose.
"Buying insurance?" Qin Yun silently watched from the side.
The clothes the elderly woman wore were clearly high-end, expensive, while Li Fang and others wore cheap clothes from street vendors.
Now the elderly woman was asking Li Fang for money to buy insurance?
Hearing the elderly woman’s words, Li Fang immediately showed a hint of difficulty, "Mom, there’s not much money at home now, and Mingzhi is unemployed..."
"Oh, Fang, don’t try to fool me. Mingzhi worked in such a big research institute before, earned so much, you must have savings at home, give me those savings first, and I’ll pay you back in a few years." The elderly woman said with a smile.
"If there’s no forty thousand yuan, then give me thirty thousand yuan."
Hearing this, Li Fang still looked troubled, "Mom, I really can’t give you that much."
Seeing Li Fang couldn’t give the money, the elderly woman’s expression changed, and she sternly said, "Li Fang, your dad and I are getting older and need insurance for security. Can’t you even spare that little amount? Do you want to see us without protection if something happens?"
After speaking, she continued to scold, "That Mingzhi is an ingrate, I raised him from young, and he’s done nothing to repay me. Now you, Li Fang, who have no support from your natal family, are an ingrate too."
She seemed used to scolding, now unscrupulous, not caring that Qin Yun, an outsider, was present.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoqian showed an angry look, "Grandma, how much money have you taken from our family over the years? Living expenses, insurance costs, you’ve never repaid."
"But everything from our house was given to Uncle’s family, we got nothing. This house was bought with Dad and Mom’s earnings, you didn’t contribute a cent."
"Now Mom can barely walk, Dad was laid off, and my sister is like this, where would we have money to give you?"
Listening to the elderly woman scold her parents, Xu Xiaoqian’s eyes reddened with anger.
"I heard you’re planning to buy a house for Uncle’s Brother Xiaotang, how can you have no money?"
Hearing Xu Xiaoqian’s words, the elderly woman’s eyes widened, and she shouted, "You unfilial girl, just like your mother without parents, no manners. See if I don’t hit you!"
She was furious, seemingly about to rush up to hit Xu Xiaoqian.
But before she moved, Qin Yun blocked her way.
"Madam, borrowing money is a matter of mutual consent, there’s no need for violence." Qin Yun frowned.
In a short time, his impression of the elderly woman soured greatly.
From what Xu Xiaoqian just said, the elderly woman gave everything to her other son, leaving Li Fang’s family with nothing, yet kept asking them for money.
Now, Li Fang’s family was struggling, while Xu Xiaoqian’s uncle’s family lived comfortably, yet she still came to ask for money.
"Mr. Qin." Seeing Qin Yun suddenly blocking her, Xu Xiaoqian was taken aback.
As for the elderly woman, her face immediately turned angry, pointing her coarse finger at Qin Yun, she shouted, "Who are you? What are you? This is a family matter, how dare you meddle?"
If Qin Yun weren’t tall and over six feet, she might have rushed up with her temper.
Seeing the elderly woman pointing at Qin Yun and cursing, Xu Xiaoyou, who had been standing quietly, scared, not daring to say much, stepped forward, loudly saying to the elderly woman, "This is my brother, you can’t bully my brother."
She shouted, pushing forward with both hands to stand in front of Qin Yun.
"Brother?"
Hearing Xu Xiaoyou, the elderly woman paused, then mocked, "Li Fang, where did this son come from? I recall you and Mingzhi only having two daughters, where did this illegitimate son come from?"
Her words instantly changed the expressions of everyone in the room, and Li Fang’s lips quivered with anger.
"Shut up!!!"
As soon as her words fell, Qin Yun shouted angrily.
His face darkened, looking at the elderly woman in front of him, forcibly suppressing his urge to act.
If not for the elderly woman’s age, he would have kicked her.
