830 Ma Yan’s Interests
“Second sister-in-law, what are you saying? Why would the men of the Yun family be afraid of their wives?” Yun Gang hurriedly tried to save some face for himself.
“But I can’t make the decision for the dowry alone.” Yun Gang still seemed to be in a difficult position. He wanted to protect his face, but he could not take charge of everything.
It would be troublesome if his unyielding attitude were to reach Guan Hong, right?!
“To put it bluntly, you’re still afraid of your wife!” Ma Yan did not intend to let Yun Gang off so easily.
“Grandma, I think we need to be fair.” Yun Xi interrupted.
“What do you mean?”
Ever since Yun Xi’s business had gotten bigger, the Old Madam’s opinion of her granddaughter had changed. She had started to listen to Yun Xi’s opinion.
“Since grandma wants eldest aunt’s dowry, then shouldn’t second aunt’s dowry also be managed by grandma?”
Now that the matter was related to Ma Yan, she wanted to see how Ma Yan would deal with it.
“That won’t do, how can that be!” Ma Yan was immediately unwilling and waved her hands.
“Second aunt is so strange! Just now, you were very agreeable to grandmother accepting eldest aunt’s dowry. Why are you so unwilling now when it’s your turn?” Yun Xi was also a little sarcastic.
“Do you think your mother would be willing to let your grandmother take care of the dowry?”
“Guan Hong is a wealthy woman with a reputation. She’s not the same kind of person as your mother and me. Can you treat this as the same thing?!” Ma Yan immediately drew a clear line.
“If grandmother really wants my mother’s dowry, I can also agree on behalf of my mother. I just don’t know if second aunt is willing!” Yun Xi said.
Ma Yan did not expect Yun Xi to say that and did not know how to refute her.
Yun Gang looked at Yun Xi as if he was a believer who had seen his savior.
When Chen Li got married, she did not have any dowry. Now, this money was not of any importance Yun Shan’s family. In order to prevent Ma Yan from getting what she wanted, Yun Xi did not mind leaving this small amount of money with the Old Madam.
“Yun Shan, you should discipline your daughter. The discussions between us adults have nothing to do with a junior like her!” Ma Yan did not know how to explain and could only let Yun Shan discipline Yun Xi.
Yun Shan stretched out a hand to hold his forehead. He looked as if he had not sobered up yet. It was obvious that he did not want to get involved in this matter.
“So what if she’s a junior? I feel that Yun Xi’s words make a lot of sense. It should indeed be fair. Guan Hong just married into our family and doesn’t understand some of our family rules. As the second sister-in-law, you should set an example,” The Old Madam said.
Of course, the Old Madam wanted to have as much money as she could.
Ma Yan did not expect that this matter would end up on her own feet.
“Forget it! Let’s talk about mom’s retirement. Since Yun Lin’s family had already moved to the city, the previous plan was definitely invalid. Let’s discuss this again.” Yun Gang started to help Ma Yan out.
This was not for Ma Yan, but for himself. It was best not to mention the dowry if possible.
“Yes, yes! What big brother said makes sense. It just so happens that third brother’s family is here today. Let’s discuss where mom is going.” Ma Yan saw that there was a way out and quickly went down.
“I feel that Yun Gang and Yun Shan’s families are both wealthier than our family, so in the matter of supporting our mother, your two households should also bear more.” Ma Yan stated her position first.
When Yun Lin heard Ma Yan’s words, he did not agree. He only took a step back, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The Old Madam had no opinion on this matter. As long as someone made her live a carefree life, it was fine.
“Oh right! I think mom should stay at big brother’s place for a while longer.” Ma Yan had a new idea.
“After all, Chen Li and I have been taking care of mom and dad for a long time, but this new sister-in-law has yet to show her filial piety in front of mom. This is a good time for her to show her filial piety.” They thought that Liu Fang was the most calculative person previously, but they did not expect it to be Ma Yan.
