Chapter: 909

"What's that?" Grandma Xiao scolded sternly: "Can we eat our fill? And think about smoking?"

Xiao Changqian's heart was burning with anger, but his mouth let out a sigh of relief: "Mom, I'm getting old now, can't bear it anymore. But the kids are still young! They've never experienced hardship and can't be wronged either!"

Grandma Xiao snickered coldly: "I don't care. The more we get to this point, the more we need to tighten our belts and face difficulties together!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Haipeng and Xiao Weiyi immediately looked displeased.

The two of them had always been pampered and couldn't bear any hardship. Since they left their money and went on a spending spree, they've been living a very difficult life for some time now.

But Grandma Xiao is now rich, not only has she opened the store and distributed the grain, but also wants everyone to tighten their belts. Isn't that asking them to die?

Right away, Xiao Haipeng spoke up first: "Grandma, you're saying it's easy for you because you're old, eat less drink less, tighten your belt. But how can my sister and I do the same? We can't bear this kind of hardship! I've been eating poorly drinking poorly, and my weight has dropped by several pounds these few days!"

"Yes, Grandma!" Xiao Weiyi also said with a poor mood: "The cosmetics I used to use were all thousands or tens of thousands yuan. Now I can only use ordinary Olay. Look at it, this Olay is almost gone and I don't have the money to buy it. Are you going to let me go ahead and use expensive Laneige products?"

But Grandma Xiao's expression turned cold and she sneered: "You're a poor relation! And what about the mystery of the sea? Is the sweet honey still owed to you? You can't even grasp useless things, let alone the treasure. If you had only been able to keep a tight grip on Xiao Yiqian, our family wouldn't be in this state today."

Xiao Weiyi suddenly grew agitated and exclaimed: "What does that have to do with me? It was Xiao Yiqian who was manipulated by Ye Chen into being useless, before he became useless. I was the one who had him under control well, and don't forget he gave me 500,000 yuan and over a million yuan to our family!"

"That's still no good," Grandma Xiao said coldly: "He's still gone, isn't he? If you really have that kind of ability, even if he becomes useless, he'll still leave something behind. At the end of the day, it's all about your own shortcomings."

Xiao Haipeng was still fuming with anger, but when he heard Grandma Xiao's words, his daughter Xiao Weiyi also felt a surge of indignation in her heart and blurted out: "Mom, what about Xiao Weiyi's relationship with Xiao Yiqian? You're the one who instructed me to listen to your orders. Why are you suddenly turning on us like this?"

Grandma Xiao sneered again: "I'm not crossing a river or cutting down a tree! I've already crossed half of the bridge and fallen into the water, almost drowning!"

Xiao Haipeng was enraged and said: "Mom, regardless of what we do, we can't pay back all our debts. We'll have to take out 200,000 yuan and improve our lives, or else we'll have to sell Daddy's antique collection to make some money to get by. And if you're hiding those things away, we won't be able to take them with us when we leave!"

"You're cursing me to death?" Grandma Xiao suddenly exploded in anger, her voice cold: "Are the three of you trying to rebel against me?"

Grandma Xiao's voice had changed, becoming sharp and startling. She hadn't expected that her son-in-law, who had always been obedient and agreeable, would dare to defy her and speak his mind.

At this moment, she also realized that her eldest son, grandsons, and granddaughter were not the devoted followers she had thought they were.

"They're just three parasites clinging to their own hosts, always thinking about how to open their mouths and suck out nutrients from their bodies at any moment!"

The more it's like this, the more I have to keep my money and things under control, absolutely cannot let them get away with it!

Grandma Xiao's heart was divided from her son-in-law after that, and each of them produced an irreparable crack in their hearts.

In the end, Grandma Xiao only took out 50,000 yuan as living expenses for the whole family, and the rest was all paid back to the two banks that owed money.

After the bank received this part of the repayment, the responsible person from the collections department also gave Grandma Xiao a lot of face, saying they could delay the debt accordingly and give the Xiao family some breathing room.

Grandma Xiao finally let out a sigh of relief.

She's still hoping that the Xiao Group can rise from the ashes, as long as it can slow down the pace of bankruptcy, there might be an opportunity.

It's possible that something will come up next, and another Xu Yijian will emerge. For myself, the current difficulties faced by the Xu family are enormous, but at the end of the day, it's just a matter of tens of millions, and if we really encounter someone like Xu Yijian with a net worth of billions, even if they were to casually spend a few million dollars, it would be enough for the Xu family to rise from the ashes.
