Chapter 1858: Sisters-in-law of One Mind

At this moment, Xiao Changgan, not knowing whether he was angry or sad, turned around and silently returned to his room, leaning on his crutches.

Although Old Mrs. Xiao was very unhappy in her heart, there was no other way at the moment, and she could only be forced to accept the reality of Qian Hongyan's return.

After all, she still had to rely on Xiao Weiwei for her livelihood. Offending Xiao Weiwei at this time was definitely not a wise move.

Seeing that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved, Xiao Weiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief and helped Qian Hongyan, saying, "Mom, get up quickly, let's go home."

Qian Hongyan nodded while crying, her face showing the relief of someone who had survived a disaster.

She truly had no way out; otherwise, she wouldn't have wanted to come back and look at Old Mrs. Xiao's face.

Nowadays, her greatest wish was to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, at least without having to worry about three meals a day.

Returning to Jin Ling and returning to the Tang Chen Yi Pin villa was, for her, the best choice at this stage.

Moreover, what made her feel fortunate was that her daughter, who had always lacked ambition and had never worked a day in her life, now actually had a career of her own, and her career was developing quite smoothly. Returning this time, she really didn't have to worry about life anymore.

Having completely breathed a sigh of relief, she was just about to follow Xiao Weiwei inside when she suddenly remembered something. She turned around, came to the front of Ma Lan's car, and said with a grateful expression, "Ma Lan, thank you so much just now. Many things in the past were my fault as the eldest sister-in-law. Please don't hold it against me. I'm apologizing to you here..."

After saying this, Qian Hongyan immediately bowed to Ma Lan.

Ma Lan was suddenly stunned by Qian Hongyan's humble attitude and was somewhat caught off guard for a moment. She said awkwardly, "Look at you, you've been bossing me around in front of me for half a lifetime, and suddenly speaking so nicely, it's almost making me unable to handle it..."

Qian Hongyan sighed and said in a low voice, "In the past, I didn't understand. I always thought about competing for favor in front of the old lady and wanting to suppress your second family. Now that I think about it, in front of a heartless person like the old lady, what favor is there to compete for? Being submissive and obedient to her for a lifetime, in the end, in her eyes, aren't I still not even as good as a dog?"

Ma Lan was deeply touched and agreed very much, saying, "Let me tell you, Qian Hongyan, what you said is absolutely right! That old hag herself is a wolf-hearted and dog-lunged thing! Even if you cut the flesh off your own body to feed her, she wouldn't appreciate your kindness. Instead, after she's full, she'd wipe her mouth and complain that your meat is too tough!"

Qian Hongyan nodded and said seriously, "Anyway, I've truly seen it clearly this time. Even if she dies in the future, I won't shed a single tear!"

Ma Lan mocked, "If she dies, not only will I not shed a tear, but I will buy a few strings of firecrackers to set off and celebrate properly!"

Xiao Changkun heard this, coughed twice, and reminded, "Ma Lan... that's enough... you have to know that you're talking about my mother..."

Ma Lan glared at him and said angrily, "If you think you're close to your mother, then move over and live there tonight!"

Xiao Changkun said in a muffled voice, "Why would I move over..."

Ma Lan said, "Move over to serve your mother! Don't you want to be a great filial son?"

Xiao Changkun immediately shut his mouth tactfully.

He had also figured it out: if Ma Lan was a powder keg, then the old lady was the best fuse, guaranteed to explode at the slightest touch.

Therefore, he should still avoid acting like a fool and taking the initiative to look for this trouble.

At this time, Xiao Weiwei, who was on the side, also stepped forward and said to Ma Lan with a very respectful attitude, "Second Aunt... I also had many immature moments before. Please don't be angry with me. In the future, if you are willing, our two families can interact more."

Ma Lan didn't expect that Xiao Weiwei's attitude toward her would also be much more respectful, and her mood improved even more. She nodded and said, "In the future, when you're free, I'll come and play with your mother. We sisters-in-law will be of one mind and properly anger that old hag!"

As she spoke, Ma Lan said to Qian Hongyan in a mysterious low voice, "Let me tell you, Qian Hongyan, you can't always be submissive to this old hag! You were just too obedient and too tolerant of her in the past. She used to be arrogant, and we had nothing to say, after all, she was the head of the family, but now she still thinks she's the head of the Xiao family? That era has long since passed!"

"She now has nothing, and she's also old. She can't beat you in a fight, and she can't beat you in an argument. What else do you have to be afraid of?"

"Just now you even knelt to her; your brain was simply short-circuited!"

"If it were me, I would have rushed in as soon as I got back. If she dared to stop me, I would have kicked her down from the stairs!"

Speaking of this, Ma Lan became more and more excited, gritting her teeth and saying, "So you don't have to be afraid of her in the future! If she dares to give you a hard time again, just scold her! If she dares to talk back, just hit her! Hit her twice and she'll be honest!"

Qian Hongyan was deeply inspired after hearing this and nodded repeatedly, saying, "You're right! I was just too afraid of her before! I was afraid to the point of having psychological trauma! But looking at it now, she's just an old woman who can't even feed herself. What's so great about her? Besides, this villa isn't hers; it belongs to that Wu Donghai. Wu Donghai lets her live here, so she can live here. If Wu Donghai doesn't let her live here, she'll have to get out immediately!"

Ma Lan nodded and said, "Just keep that in mind. If there's anything like this in the future, just beat her!"

Qian Hongyan clenched her fists and said with a firm expression, "Okay! Just you wait! If she dares to provoke me in the future, I'd be a ghost if I don't beat her!"

Seeing that her mother had been incited by Ma Lan to the point of wanting to rush in and beat her grandmother violently right now, Xiao Weiwei knew that she couldn't let these two women continue talking; otherwise, the situation would definitely spiral out of control.

Therefore, she hurriedly said, "Mom, let's go in quickly. You find an empty room first, then tidy up the room and settle down, and then go and greet Brother."

"Okay." In her heart, Qian Hongyan also missed her son, Xiao Hailong.

It had been a long time since she had seen him, and she didn't know how her son had recovered now.

Therefore, she hurriedly said politely to Ma Lan, "Ma Lan, then I'll go in first. Let's chat another day!"

Ma Lan was somewhat unsatisfied, but she didn't try to keep her any longer and said, "Okay, go in quickly!"

Only then did Qian Hongyan enter the villa with her daughter, Xiao Weiwei.

Ma Lan watched at the door for a while before getting back into the car, saying with a gloating expression, "Qian Hongyan has truly developed a rebellious spirit. Now that old hag is in for it!"

Xiao Changkun said helplessly, "Sigh... why do you have to do this... If Qian Hongyan really fights with my mother in the future and hurts my mother, as a son, won't I have to spend money and effort?"

"You dare!" Ma Lan said sternly, "If that old hag has any mishaps, you are not allowed to spend a single cent!"

After saying this, she immediately waved her hand and said, "Drive quickly, I'm still waiting to go out for a ride!" ===== CHAPTER 1859 =====
