Chapter 556

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

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

And he was sure that these people definitely wouldn't dare to come and find trouble with him.

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

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

Subsequently, he put all his thoughts into building a vegetable garden for his wife.

Wang Zhengang was currently going all out, buying high-quality vegetables and fruits everywhere.

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

Ye Chen wanted his wife to see the vegetable garden below as soon as she woke up tomorrow, so he had Wang Zhengang bring people over in the middle of the night to build it.

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

This villa was good in every way—the road was good, the appliances were good, and 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.

The family of five had set off from the Wu family in the morning and drove 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.

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

No money to eat.

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

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

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

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

But this money hadn't arrived yet.

Which meant that now everyone didn't even have money for dinner.

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

Old Mrs. Xiao waved her hand and said sternly, "Bastard, isn't this clearly letting Wu Donghai look down on us? We are living in a villa worth over 100 million, and we don't even have money to eat. Do you have the face to open your mouth?"

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

"Yeah, Mom..." Xiao Changqian said awkwardly, "If you say hungry for one or two meals, it's fine, but always being hungry, who can stand it? That company investment matter is very troublesome, plus our accounts are sealed by the bank. Even if Wu Donghai's money hits the company account, we still have to settle with the bank and wait for the bank to unseal it. It won't come down for three or five days. We can't just wait hungry for this money, right?"

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

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

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

"Grandma, you don't know." Xiao Hailong said depressedly, "The news of our Xiao family's bankruptcy has long spread in my circle of friends. No matter who I talk to on WeChat now, the other party won't ignore me, and even if they do, once I open my mouth to borrow money, they pretend to be dead."

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

Old Mrs. Xiao said, "Why don't you send a WeChat to Xiao Yiqian and ask him to sponsor a little? You two were dew-couple for a period of time, he should give you this little money, right?"

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

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

"Me?" Old Mrs. Xiao's expression was not very natural as she sneered, "If I had a way to borrow money, I wouldn't be talking nonsense with you."

Xiao Hailong suddenly had a flash of inspiration and blurted out, "Grandma, why don't we move some things out of this villa and hang them on Xianyu to sell? Not to mention anything else, that big LCD TV in the living room, I estimate it's worth five..."

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

"What's inappropriate?" Xiao Hailong said, "We can live here for 10 years. What kind of TV can be used for 10 years? When the time comes, just tell him the TV is broken and we eliminated it, right?"

"Besides, when his 80 million hits the company account, won't we have money? By then, we can just buy the exact same one and hang it up, right?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "You guys, don't say, Hailong's method is really quite good!"

Xiao Hailong heard this and said with a smile, "How about it, Grandma? My brain is still very powerful at critical moments, right?"

"Not bad, not bad!" Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and said, "Then you first check how much this TV sells for new, and then hang it on Xianyu to sell!"

Xiao Hailong immediately went to that super big LCD TV in the living room, pulled open the back to check the model, and then searched on the internet, saying in surprise, "Oh my, this TV is actually worth 100,000!"

The whole family was shocked by this amount.

A TV is 100,000? This is too extravagant, right?

Xiao Hailong opened the second-hand website again and found that the second-hand price for this TV was over 60,000, so he said, "I see they sell for over 60,000 for 90% new. Our 100% new one selling for 75,000 is no problem!"

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Sell for 75,000? Maybe no one wants it right away! Just hang it for 60,000. I estimate it will sell very quickly. Our top priority now is to hurry up and eat."

Xiao Hailong suddenly realized and said, "Grandma, you consider things comprehensively. I'll take a photo and hang it for 60,000."

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

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

Wu Donghai asked his assistant, "What is the situation with the Xiao family? Have they started to clash with Ye Chen?"

The assistant made a call and then said, "Chairman Wu, the people we have responsible for monitoring said they didn't have any conflict with Ye Chen. They just exchanged a few words with Ye Chen's mother-in-law and then returned to the villa. Now they are selling the TV set in the villa on the website!"

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