Chapter: 892

Grandma Xiao gave a cold smile and said: "You should have listened to me earlier! Then today wouldn't be like this."

Upon thinking about the current state of the Xiao family, cut off from their economic source and heavily in debt, Grandma Xiao jumped with anger.

All of these troubles are thanks to Xiao Chang's wife, Qian Hongyan.

If it weren't for Qian Hongyan's cheating ways, running off with money, the Xiao family would never have fallen into this miserable state.

Moreover, Grandma Xiao had already thought ahead and wanted her son to take out 8 million first, use some of that to pay back part of the bank's debt, and then delay things for a while to look for other solutions.

But now, everything has gone up in smoke. We need money but don't have it, we need people but don't have them. The bank is already at our doorstep, and the whole Xiao family has become a complete mess.

Grandma Xiao grew angrier and angrier, unable to restrain herself from slapping the table and scolding, "Qian Hongyan, this worthless person, I should have seen through her character a long time ago! She's just like that good-for-nothing woman, Ma Ran. It's as if she was born with bad blood! Letting her marry into the Xiao family is my last regret in life, and I should have kicked her out of the house instead, let her starve to death on the streets!"

As she spoke, Grandma Xiao clenched her teeth and shouted, "This good-for-nothing woman is having it too good now! She's got over two hundred thousand dollars in cash, and still has a young man she's taken as her lover, not knowing what kind of wicked things they're getting up to right now!"

Grandma Xiao was unaware that Qian Hongyan, her daughter-in-law, was even more miserable than the Xiao family members.

Every day, Qian Hongyan dug coal in a dark and dingy coal mine, with iron shackles weighing down her feet. She had to work for over 12 hours a day, and her hands were covered in blood blisters and flesh wounds.

Moreover, the old boss of the coal mine was extremely cruel and ruthless, sending the laborers overseen by a vicious monitor who would beat them mercilessly at the slightest sign of discontent.

Qian Hongyan had previously been well-preserved and looked decent until she turned 40 or 50. When she arrived at the coal mine, she caught the attention of the monitor, who originally looked down on her because of his dirty and smelly appearance. But after being beaten and starved several times, she finally gave in and became the monitor's mistress.

After becoming the monitor's mistress, Qian Hongyan experienced some relief from physical labor but was still psychologically tortured.

Originally, she was a woman worth millions, living in a luxurious mansion every day. She could be considered half a noblewoman.

But now, she has to work tirelessly in a dark, dirty, and smelly shack, trying to win the favor of that lowly old monitor, which is the greatest torment for her.

After all, in order to survive, in order not to be beaten or starved, Qian Hongyan could only choose to compromise.

But at this time, no one in the Shao family knew that she was actually suffering such pain and humiliation.

They still thought she was lying in some five-star hotel room, being pampered by a young man who was 20 years younger than her.

So, Mrs. Shao scolded Qian Hongyan, and Shao Chang and his children listened, not only not getting angry but also feeling indignant and resentful inside.

The most pitiful person who had been harmed by Qian Hongyan was actually the Shao family.

To Shao Chang, all his money and resources were gone, and he spent every day wondering if Qian Hongyan was using over a million yuan to wildly chase after young men outside, putting countless green hats on herself.

As for Shao Haifeng and Shao Weiwei, they hated Qian Hongyan's reason was very simple - it was all because of the money!

Without money, the Shao family was struggling to make ends meet. Their two spoiled brats were also down on their luck, living a life of bitterness and resentment.

"Mom's, Qian Hongyan is a worthless person! If I ever get my hands on her, I'll break her legs! Otherwise, I won't be able to get rid of this bad feeling!" Shao Chang growled between clenched teeth, furious as he scolded. After venting his anger, he took out his phone and muttered, "I'm going to find a car, take these stuffs to the auction house tomorrow morning, and let others estimate their value. If it's suitable, I'll sell them directly."

Shao's old granny gazed at the furniture laid out in the living room with a pained expression, looking as if she couldn't bear to part with it. JrNovels.com
