Chapter 731

Xiao Changkun didn't eat at home in the evening.

According to him, he was having dinner with several leaders of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and several key members of the University for the Elderly.

By nine o'clock, Xiao Changkun called Ye Chen.

When Xiao Changkun called, Ye Chen was watching TV in the living room with his wife.

Mother-in-law Ma Lan had a caviar anti-aging mask on her face, lying spread-eagled on the double sofa, leisurely scrolling through a short video platform. While scrolling, she muttered, "Oh, I really have to say, that Japanese girl who came to our Jin Ling to participate in the fighting competition, she really looks quite good!"

Ye Chen knew she must be talking about Ito Nanako. He didn't get a chance to speak before his phone vibrated.

Seeing it was Xiao Changkun calling, he answered the phone and said, "Hey, Dad."

Xiao Changkun's voice sounded a bit drunk, and he laughed, "Oh, good son-in-law, can you come to Tianxiang Mansion to pick me up? I've had a bit to drink."

Ye Chen didn't think much and gave an "um," "Alright, Dad, I'll be right there."

As he spoke, he stood up and said, "Mom, Churan, I'm going to pick up Dad. He had a bit to drink with the people from the Calligraphy and Painting Association."

Xiao Churan stood up at this time and said, "Ye Chen, I'll go with you to pick up Dad."

Ye Chen didn't think much and nodded gently, "Alright, then let's take your car."

Upon hearing that Xiao Changkun was drinking outside, Ma Lan said somewhat angrily, "This old bastard is getting more and more presumptuous. Good son-in-law, don't go pick him up. Let him roll back himself. When he rolls back, I'll lock the gate and not let him in, let him sleep in the courtyard for a night!"

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mom, you and Dad shouldn't be so unhappy. Everyone lives under the same roof, so we should get along well even if we are separated."

Ma Lan was like a human spirit, and immediately heard that Ye Chen was pointing at her with his words.

She secretly slandered in her heart: "Although I am separated from Xiao Changkun, we both live in Ye Chen's villa. If I make a scene with Xiao Changkun, Ye Chen definitely won't be happy. If I tear my face with him, it would really be a loss outweighing the gain."

So, she could only put away her anger toward Xiao Changkun and said with feigned disdain, "Actually, I'm too lazy to care about someone like him. When my leg is better and my teeth are fixed, I'll go out to play every day too! We won't interfere with each other!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately said with a smile, "Good, mutual respect and non-interference, that couldn't be better."

Ma Lan looked at Ye Chen and smiled flatteringly, "Good son-in-law, you have to give Mom some pocket money when the time comes. Mom is basically penniless now. If I go out to eat or gather with friends, I won't have money, and people won't want to play with me!"

Ye Chen didn't know Ma Lan's little thoughts? All she thinks about all day is money, facials, playing cards, and having fun.

She has no money now and doesn't go out to play because her leg is really inconvenient, plus she lost two front teeth, and her image is severely damaged.

When her leg is better and her teeth are fixed, she will definitely think about going out every day. If she has no money, who knows what kind of moths she will make.

However, for Ye Chen, if he could send her away by giving her some money, it would be a good thing.

So, Ye Chen said indifferently, "Mom, when your leg is better and your teeth are fixed, I'll give you 50,000 yuan in pocket money a month."

"Really?" Ma Lan was instantly overjoyed.

50,000 yuan in pocket money a month is indeed not a small amount. When she had 2 million in her hand before, she couldn't bear to spend so much in a month.

In fact, Ma Lan's daily expenses are nothing more than playing cards occasionally, shopping, facials, dining, singing K with her group of plastic old sisters, and occasionally buying clothes and skincare products. 50,000 yuan a month is actually enough.

She said to Ye Chen excitedly, "Good son-in-law, why didn't Mom find out you were so excellent before?"

Ye Chen smiled without a word. He knew long ago that for a shrew like Ma Lan, 50,000 yuan a month could send her away. He would have spent money to buy peace of mind long ago.

Ma Lan only thought about flattering Ye Chen at this time, and deliberately said to Xiao Churan earnestly, "Oh, Churan, look, you are not young anymore, and you have been married to Ye Chen for almost four years. I think you two should have a child. Our family of four lives in such a big villa now, it's really a bit deserted. If there were a child running around, how lively it would be!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen was shocked!

Good!

This mother-in-law of his is really money-grubbing!

It seems she has completely bowed to money now!

You know, she used to repeatedly warn Xiao Churan that Xiao Churan absolutely must not have a marital relationship with him.

Ye Chen still remembers that once, this old woman rushed into his and Xiao Churan's bedroom early in the morning, just because she had a dream, dreamed that the two had a marital relationship, and was so scared that she came to confirm it.

There was another time, Dong Ruolin invited his wife and him to go to the hot springs together. When this old woman heard about it, in order not to let him take advantage of his wife, she even let his wife wear a facekini and warned her to sleep in separate rooms from him.

However, he never dreamed that her attitude would have such a 180-degree turn!

So, he nodded approvingly and said, "Mom, you are so right! Our family is missing a child! Oh no! Missing two!"

Ma Lan laughed on the side, "I think it would be better for you to have three children! By then, I will wholeheartedly take care of the children for you!"

Ye Chen said with a smile, "Mom, then it will be hard work for you!"

Ma Lan hurriedly said, "Oh, good son-in-law, why are you being polite with Mom? Mom taking care of the children for you two, isn't this a matter of course?"

Ye Chen nodded, looked at Xiao Churan, who was blushing, and felt happy in his heart.

It seems that as long as the money is in place, Ma Lan will easily defect to his side!

So, he deliberately said to Ma Lan with a serious face, "Mom, I can't let you work in vain. How about this, for every child you take care of, I will give you an extra 100,000 in hard work money a month!"

"Oh my god!" Ma Lan sat up from the sofa happily and exclaimed, "Really?! Taking care of one child, 100,000 a month?! Taking care of two children, that's 200,000?"

Ye Chen nodded, "Mom, I, Ye Chen, always mean what I say!"

Ma Lan was excited, and blurted out, "Good, good!"

After finishing, she looked at Xiao Churan and said excitedly, "Churan, Mom knows an old Chinese doctor who has a secret recipe for twins. I'll buy a few doses for you tomorrow, you take them first, let's strive to have two at once!"

Ma Lan knew very well in her heart that 50,000 in pocket money a month was enough for her daily expenses, but if she wanted to upgrade her consumption level, this money would be stretched.

But now it's different from before. Because of the matter of losing over 2 million in gambling, she couldn't control the family's financial power. Xiao Changkun wouldn't give her money, and her daughter wouldn't be willing to give her money, and she had no savings in her hand, so it was hard to get extra money.

But if her daughter really gave Ye Chen a pair of twins, then her monthly pocket money could be increased from 50,000 to 250,000!

250,000!

That could really live a life like a noble lady!
