Does This Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Not Get Along Either?

Zhou Wanwan looked at the two of them curiously, frowning as she said:

"Isn't this a bad relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?"

They're both clearly wealthy, but neither of them is willing to spend money. It's so hypocritical! I don't like hypocritical people like that.

The roots of the Old Scholar Tree had already reached into the house, and soon they took out all the hidden money the two men had saved.

Zhou Wanwan opened the box directly, her eyes lighting up as she looked at the money inside:

"My grandma is so rich!"

Look at that, over a dozen large gold bars, and this silver note is worth five thousand taels!

She then opened another box, this one belonged to Qian Huihui.

Inside were six small gold bars and several silver notes, all worth five hundred taels, totaling more than three thousand two hundred taels.

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said:

"It's not like you're short of money, why are you trying to take advantage of me? That's going too far. I'm confiscating all of these."

They're staying at my house, I can't just leave them without paying, can I? That's definitely not acceptable.

My yard is so spacious and bright! This is all the rent I collected, plus compensation for emotional distress.

"If I weren't so brave, I would have been terrified by these brothel people today!"

The Old Scholar Tree simply took Zhou Wanwan away.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law politely declined each other's presence for a while before finally going inside.

But as soon as they entered the house, they started screaming like pigs being slaughtered.

Old Madam Zhou exclaimed loudly, "My gold bars and silver notes are all gone! There's been a thief!"

Qian Huihui also cried out loudly:

"I have nothing left, sob sob sob..."

What are we going to do now? My Qingzhou!

The brothel's thug looked disgusted.

"Are you going to pay or not? If you don't pay, we're going to find Zhou Qingzhou right now."

"We'll cut off his hand tonight. He's got some nerve, daring to mess with our brothel."

Qian Huihui quickly said, "We'll pay, we definitely will. His father-in-law is the prefect, you can't do anything reckless."

The thug from the brothel paused for a moment and said:

"His father-in-law is a prefect? You're talking nonsense."

We've never heard of Prefect Fang having any daughter who married into this family.

Qian Huihui said:

"Fang Ting, Fang Ting is my daughter-in-law, do you know her?"

I can call her over right now.

The leader frowned and said:

"The prefect does indeed have a daughter named Fang Ting, but she seems to be an illegitimate daughter, and is also considered the prefect's son-in-law."

"If you owe money, just pay it back. There's nothing more to say."

Qian Huihui nodded and said, "I'll go call Fang Ting right now; she'll definitely save her husband."

Fang Ting also moved to the side courtyard. She really didn't want to live in the countryside; the city was better because it was closer to home.

Zhou Wanwan is just too stingy; she actually made them live in a side courtyard.

She looked at the room in the side courtyard with disgust and said, "This environment is really terrible, I can't stand living here at all."

The maids quickly advised, "We've changed all the bedding and cleaned the rooms. Please stay here for now."

Fang Ting looked at the room and said, "I'll stay here then! Living in the city is better than living in the countryside; I can go home from time to time."

The maids quickly nodded.

Qian Huihui rushed in and said:

Fang Ting, please save Qingzhou!

He spent 3650 taels outside, and now people are chasing him all the way home.

Fang Ting looked at Qian Huihui indifferently and said, "What does this have to do with me? He caused the trouble, so let him pay for it!"

Qian Huihui looked at her and said, "You're his wife, if you don't pay it back, who will?"

Fang Ting sneered:

"Your Zhou Family is really interesting. Someone just came looking for him; they must have been from a brothel, right?"

He's already gone to a brothel, do you really expect me to pay for him?

Stop dreaming. That's impossible. Don't even think about it.

Qian Huihui glared at her and said, "You're just going to watch these people take your husband's life? Fang Ting, you're too cruel!"

Fang Ting smiled faintly and said:

"Who's really the more ruthless one? You know exactly what kind of person you were born with, don't you?"

Get out of here right now, I don't want to see your family.

Qian Huihui looked at her and said, "Alright, alright, then I'll just have the debt collectors come looking for you."

The debt collectors rushed over, Fang Ting looked at them and said:

"If you dare to lay a finger on me today, I'll tell my father, and you'll be in big trouble."

I haven't been back to the city for a year, and you've really forgotten all about me!

The leader suddenly remembered who Fang Ting was. Back then, Fang Ting had taken a fancy to an actor and insisted on marrying him, causing chaos in the theater.

Finally, I heard that the actor didn't like her and committed suicide by jumping into the river. But Fang Ting was already pregnant with his child, and in the end, the child was aborted.

Fang Ting disappeared, and unexpectedly, she later married Zhou Qingzhou.

Fang Ting may not have really liked Zhou Qingzhou; she only married him because her parents nagged her so much.

The leader looked at Fang Ting and said:

"Miss Fang, we have no choice but to accept this. Your husband spent 3,650 taels of silver at the brothel."

Nobody's willing to pay it back for him now. If you don't pay it back for him, we'll have no choice but to report it to the authorities.

What the authorities say then is beyond our jurisdiction.

Fang Ting looked at him and said, "Threatening me? Fine! Go ahead and report me to the authorities right now! See if I'm afraid of you."

Seeing that they couldn't get anything good from the Zhou Family, those people went straight back to the brothel.

The brothel madam looked at them and said:

How much money did you bring back this time?

The leader shook his head and said:

"We didn't get a single penny back, and there's really nothing we can do. Zhou Qingzhou's wife is Fang Ting."

She's a shrew, we can't afford to mess with her!

The madam paused for a moment, then said, "You mean Zhou Qingzhou married Fang Ting? Heh, that's quite interesting."

"So what do we do now? Are we just going to let this money go?"

The madam sighed and said, "The common people can't fight with officials. Although we are Young Master Cheng's subordinates, we... we can't afford to offend Prefect Fang either."

Zhou Wanwan suddenly jumped into the room through the window, startling the madam. The madam patted her chest and said, "Master, that really scared me to death!"

The madam knelt upright on the ground, and the men beside her also knelt down.

The leader looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Master, I didn't expect to be going to your house tonight."

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said:

"I know it's your duty, and now that things have turned out this way, I have an inescapable responsibility."

So I'll take you to find Zhou Qingzhou now and arrest him.

If he doesn't pay, we'll hand him over to the authorities. He's not getting a free meal; no way!

The madam quickly nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Zhou Qingzhou was having a great time at the gambling table.

As a result, he was immediately arrested by several tall and strong men.

Zhou Qingzhou looked at them and said:

"What are you doing? Let me go right now! Do you know who you've grabbed?"

The leader of Black Wind Stronghold is my cousin. If you dare offend me, you'll regret it. Chapter 465: Isn't the relationship between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bad too?
