This is a disaster she didn't deserve; who would have known Ye Zhangmin would suddenly go find her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Ye Chen arrive, Ma Lan finally had someone to vent her grievances to, and she cried, \"Good son-in-law, Mom is truly miserable...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she immediately cried until she was out of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen hurriedly stepped forward and asked with feigned concern, \"Mom, what happened to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan waved her hand and wiped her tears, \"Sigh, don't mention it, don't mention it. Just mentioning it brings a flood of bitter tears...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her like this, Xiao Changkun wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he just stood there motionless, not saying a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan glanced at him and said angrily, \"Xiao Changkun, what are you doing here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, \"You ask what I’m doing here, of course I’m here to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"See me?\" Ma Lan said angrily, \"I think you’re here to see me make a fool of myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun thought to himself, \"Aha, you’re actually right, but I can't admit it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he could only say awkwardly, \"What are you talking about? Even if we are separated and getting a divorce, we have lived together for half a lifetime after all. Seeing you bullied like this, I naturally feel heartache!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan glared at him, \"Heartache my ass! I know what you old dog is thinking. You’re dying for me to be lame for the rest of my life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changkun didn't expect Ma Lan to guess so accurately, but he didn't dare to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Xiao Churan, who was on the side, smoothed things over, \"Mom, stop arguing with Dad. He came to see you out of concern.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan said unpleasantly, \"I don't need his concern.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, she looked at Ye Chen and said with a bitter face, \"Good son-in-law, the people who tormented me this time are still the same group from the pyramid scheme. Mom is truly unlucky. I have to wear a cast for a few months again. Not only can I not cook for you, but I’ll be stuck at home and can't go anywhere. The days ahead will be extremely boring...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen immediately understood what Ma Lan meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he immediately said generously, \"Mom, since that’s the case, I’ll just do the cooking from now on. Also, I’ll transfer 100,000 in pocket money to you later. If you’re bored during this time, you can go online and buy whatever you want to play with, just to pass the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ma Lan heard this, she was immediately moved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, she didn't expect Ye Chen to give her money at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She just felt that Ye Chen had promised her 30,000 in food money a month, plus 10,000 in hard work money for cooking. She didn't dare to deduct from the food money, but she felt she deserved the hard work money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that she was lame again and couldn't buy groceries or cook, not only was there no one to do the work, but she was afraid she couldn't ask Ye Chen for the 10,000 hard work money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why she wanted to act pitiful, hoping Ye Chen wouldn't deduct the 10,000 hard work money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't expect Ye Chen to be so generous and give her 100,000 directly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ma Lan felt refreshed and was full of gratitude toward Ye Chen, hurriedly saying, \"Oh, you truly are Mom’s good son-in-law! Having a son-in-law like you is a blessing Mom has cultivated for several lifetimes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan was secretly stunned when she heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she was stunned was that she found that when her mother said this, her attitude was truly very sincere; it seemed to be from the bottom of her heart, not just polite words...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn't expect that 100,000 could move Ma Lan to this extent, and he couldn't help but laugh secretly, thinking, \"If I had known this top-tier mother-in-law could be dismissed with such a small amount of money, I would have given her some money earlier to save myself the trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, thinking about it carefully, this matter wasn't that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ma Lan of the past held the family’s financial power and had at least two million in hand. At that time, giving her 100,000 or 200,000 wouldn't have been enough to dismiss her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after being cheated out of all her money by Qian Hongyan and spending a few bitter days in the detention center, her starting point had been lowered significantly, and her appetite wasn't as big as before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen was also very decisive. After saying this, he immediately transferred 100,000 to Ma Lan’s card. When Ma Lan received the text message from the bank, she was overjoyed and said happily, \"My son-in-law still loves me the most!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the doctor happened to come in for rounds, and Xiao Churan hurriedly asked, \"Doctor, may I ask how my mother is doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The female doctor explained, \"The patient mainly needs recovery and recuperation. This does take some time. There’s nothing else to pay attention to. You can let her observe in the hospital, or you can take her home to recuperate first, either is fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Churan said, \"Mom, why don't we take you home to recuperate? It’s more convenient for us to take care of you! Besides, it’s almost Chinese New Year, staying in the hospital is too lonely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ma Lan nodded repeatedly, \"This hospital feels very unlucky, I don't want to stay for even a minute longer. Anyway, this isn't the first time my leg has broken, I have experience. Just wait until I finish this bottle of IV, and we’ll take me home!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, at Jin Ling People’s Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Changqian and Xiao Hailong were forced to leave the ward because they couldn't pay the hospital fees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The father and son were both lying on the hospital’s mobile gurneys, and Old Mrs. Xiao, along with Xiao Weiwei and Qian Hongyan, pushed them to the parking lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they came, Xiao Weiwei was driving the new Bentley the family had bought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bentley wasn't an ambulance and couldn't safely fit the father and son lying flat, so they had to find an ambulance to transport them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, finding an ambulance costs money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the five family members had cash, and all their bank cards and electronic payment accounts were frozen. They were truly penniless now; they didn't even know how to pay the parking fee to drive out of the hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when they were at their wit's end, two middle-aged men walked over and said, \"Are you Old Mrs. Xiao?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, \"It’s me, who are you two?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party said, \"Seeing that your family is quite pitiful, Mr. Wu has arranged an ambulance to specifically take the four of you back to the villa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, \"That’s great! Please arrange an ambulance to take my son and grandson back, and I will drive back with my granddaughter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party waved his hand, \"I’m sorry, you two have to take the ambulance back too, because this Bentley was bought with Mr. Wu’s money, so Mr. Wu requires us to take the car back!\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-17T17:00:13.987Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","33bd7df2aa114886b555dd60653906f12990cf0606434e8665157423621bbcea","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-981","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-979",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
