Chapter 556: No Money to Eat!

Ye Chen didn't really take the Xiao family seriously.

After all, in his eyes, these people were nothing more than clowns.

And he could be sure that these people definitely wouldn't dare to come and cause him trouble.

Plus, Qian Qian Hongyan must hate Ma Lan to the bone, so he estimated that the Xiao family's future firepower would all be directed at his mother-in-law.

This was actually a good thing; "evil people are ground by evil people."

Subsequently, his mind was entirely focused on building a vegetable garden for his wife.

Wang Zhengang was currently going all out, seeking to buy high-quality vegetables and fruits from everywhere.

In one afternoon, he had collected many healthy, green, organic species.

Ye Chen wanted his wife to see the vegetable garden below as soon as she woke up tomorrow morning, so he had Wang Zhengang bring people over in the middle of the night to transplant the vegetables and fruits that were already grown.

At this very moment, Old Mrs. Xiao was looking at the luxurious kitchen in the villa, feeling helpless.

This villa was good in every way—the road was good, the appliances were good, the furniture was good—but there wasn't a drop of oil or a grain of rice in the kitchen.

With nothing, they couldn't cook.

Everyone had set off from the Wu family in the morning and traveled all the way from Su Hang to here.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time for dinner. Everyone was hungry and starving.

However, a very awkward problem was placed in front of the five members of the Xiao family.

They had no money to eat.

Old Mrs. Xiao, Xiao Xiao Weiwei, Xiao Xiao Changqian, and Xiao Xiao Hailong were all penniless before the detention center.

They had lived in the detention center for so many days, and naturally, they had no income, so they basically didn't have a single cent.

Before Qian Qian Hongyan went to the black coal mine, she had also been cleaned out by Ye Chen, and when she was saved from the black coal mine, she had nothing but a layer of coal dust on her.

Although Wu Wu Donghai had promised to invest 80 million in the Xiao Group.

But this money hadn't arrived yet.

In other words, they didn't even have money for dinner right now.

Xiao Xiao Hailong suggested, "Grandma, why don't we call Wu Wu Donghai and ask him to transfer ten or twenty thousand on WeChat first? At least let us have some living expenses for food!"

Old Mrs. Xiao waved her hand and said sternly, "You bastard, isn't this clearly letting Wu Wu Donghai look down on us? He let us live in a villa worth over 100 million, and we don't even have money for food. Do you have the face to open your mouth?"

Xiao Xiao Hailong said awkwardly, "Then what should we do? We can't just starve!"

"Yes, Mom..." Xiao Xiao Changqian said awkwardly, "You can say starving for a meal or two is fine, but who can stand starving all the time? The company investment matter is very troublesome, and our accounts are sealed by the bank. Even if Wu Wu Donghai's money is transferred to the company account, we still have to settle with the bank and wait for the bank to unseal it. It won't be done for three to five days. We can't just starve and wait for this money, right?"

Old Mrs. Xiao asked him, "Don't you have any friends or anyone you can borrow ten thousand from to tide us over?"

Xiao Xiao Changqian said awkwardly, "Before I went to the detention center, I had already borrowed money and borrowed from everyone I could. Many people have blocked me."

Old Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Xiao Hailong and Xiao Xiao Weiwei again: "Xiao Hailong, Xiao Weiwei, what about you two? Don't you have any friends you can borrow some money from?"

"Grandma, you don't know." Xiao Xiao Hailong said depressedly, "The news of our Xiao family's bankruptcy has long spread through my WeChat Moments. Now, no matter who I talk to on WeChat, they won't pay attention to me. Even if they do, once I open my mouth to borrow money, they play dead."

Xiao Xiao Weiwei also said with full depression, "Grandma, I can't borrow money either. If I could borrow money, I wouldn't have used Dabao SOD Milk back then."

Old Mrs. Xiao said: "Why don't you send a WeChat message to Xiao Xiao Yiqian and ask him to sponsor a little bit? You two were at least 'dew-water' husband and wife for a period of time; he should at least give you this little bit of money, right?"

Xiao Xiao Weiwei sighed and said, "Xiao Xiao Yiqian has already blocked me..."

Xiao Xiao Changqian looked at Old Mrs. Xiao: "Mom, don't you have any friends or anything?"

"Me?" Old Mrs. Xiao's expression was unnatural as she snorted coldly: "If I had a way to borrow money, I wouldn't be wasting my breath with you."

Xiao Xiao Hailong suddenly had a flash of inspiration at this time and blurted out, "Grandma, why don't we sell some things from this villa on Xianyu? Not to mention anything else, that big LCD TV in the living room—a new one should be worth five..."

Xiao Xiao Changqian said, "Wu Wu Donghai lent the villa to us to live in. Is it appropriate for us to sell people's things?"

"What's inappropriate about it." Xiao Xiao Hailong said, "We can live here for 10 years anyway. What kind of TV can be used for 10 years? By then, just tell him the TV broke and we discarded it, wouldn't that be it?"

"Besides, when his 80 million is transferred to the company account, won't we have money? By then, we can just buy an identical one and hang it up, right?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "You guys really have a point; this brain of yours is really sharp at critical moments!"

Xiao Xiao Hailong laughed and said, "How about that, Grandma? My brain is still very sharp at critical moments, right?"

"Not bad, not bad!" Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Then you check how much the new TV sells for, and list it on Xianyu first!"

Xiao Xiao Hailong immediately went to that super-large LCD TV in the living room, pried open the back to check the model, searched for it online, and said in surprise, "Oh my, this TV is actually worth 100,000!"

The whole family was shocked by this amount.

A TV worth 100,000—this was too extravagant, right?

Xiao Xiao Hailong opened the second-hand website again and found that a 90% new TV like this could sell for over 60,000, so he said, "I see they sell for over 60,000 for 90% new. Selling ours for 75,000 as 100% new shouldn't be a problem!"

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Sell for 75,000? Don't sell for 75,000; someone might not want it immediately! Just list it for 60,000. I estimate it will sell very quickly. Our top priority now is to hurry up and eat."

Xiao Xiao Hailong suddenly realized and said, "Grandma, you are still the one who considers things comprehensively. I'll take a few photos and list it for 60,000."

After saying that, he immediately opened his phone's camera function, took a few photos of the TV, and posted it on the second-hand website.

At this very moment, at the Wu family in Su Hang.

Wu Wu Donghai asked his assistant, "What's the situation with the Xiao family? Have they started clashing with Ye Chen yet?"

The assistant made a call and then said, "Chairman Wu, the people we have responsible for monitoring them say they haven't had any conflicts with Ye Chen. They just exchanged a few words with Ye Chen's mother-in-law and then went back to the villa. Now they are selling the TV that came with the villa on a website!"

Wu Wu Donghai thought he had misheard and blurted out, "What the hell?" ===== CHAPTER 557 =====
