Chapter 998: Ma Lan Never Fights a Battle Without Certainty
To be honest, Ma Lancun's assets are now richer than Yi Zhonghai's. The money Yi Zhonghai has spent over the years... has already been "severely spent". He really doesn't have as much assets as Ma Lan and her husband.
Ma Lan said that the Jia family was not short of money, but that had nothing to do with Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi was short of money! She had no income and depended on a little for living expenses... She didn't have much capital at all.
"How much can you give, Lao Yi? Let me hear it first."
Yi Zhonghai gestured: "How about five dollars?"
Yi Zhonghai originally wanted to say two yuan, but when he saw Ma Lan's attitude, he mentioned five yuan.
After hearing this, Jia Zhang immediately became excited and had now forgotten Li Danniu's warning.
"Lan Zi, five dollars is not a small amount! Think about it again..."
Ma Lan sneered and slammed the table: "I don't even want to consider it! I don't want to earn it even if you give me ten dollars this time. You are not afraid of death, so I will give it all to you now. Anyway, I won't do it no matter what you say..."
Yi Zhonghai didn't expect Ma Lan to be so stubborn that she didn't even look down on five dollars.
What he didn't know was that Ma Lan never fought a battle she wasn't sure of winning, and Li Da Nv was too fierce and she didn't want to mess with her!
It's no secret that Ma Lan has been fooling Xiao Shazhu for years. Li Danniu has always been hostile to her. If she catches her, it will be no joke...
Jia Zhang gave Yi Zhonghai a look and said, "Old Yi, please add a little more. This job is a bit difficult."
Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and bid another five dollars.
"Ten dollars, no more..."
When Jia Dongxu heard the price of ten yuan, he was excited. This amount of money is enough for half a month's living expenses!
Ma Lan continued to eat by herself. She didn't want to confront Li Danniu.
Jia Zhang and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other and both of them felt a headache. They saw that Ma Lan was really scared! She was determined not to take this job...
Now, let alone Ma Lan not accepting the job, except for the male god of war Lin Chen, no one in the hospital would dare to take the job, but Lin Chen's appearance fee is not ten yuan. Unless the Yi family has a beautiful eighteen-year-old girl... Unfortunately, his family doesn't have one!
……
half an hour later
Yi Zhonghai left the Jia family in disgrace. Even after offering 15 yuan, he still failed to persuade the Jia family to help.
All kinds of provocations were used, but Ma Lan still refused to do it. This made Jia Zhang very anxious!
Yi Zhonghai asked Jia Zhang to persuade his daughter-in-law again, after all, Ma Lan was the head of the family.
After Yi Zhonghai left
Before Jia Zhang could even open her mouth, she was bombarded with criticism from Ma Lan.
"Stop talking nonsense! There's no room for negotiation. I still say the same thing. If you want to take it, take it... I won't stop you but don't expect me to help you. If you get beaten to death or disabled... I will definitely ask for medical expenses for you."
Jia Dongxu now also followed suit and advised his mother to calm down.
"Mom, if you disrupt the He family's banquet, can you handle Li Danniu's wrath? You know Yi Zhonghai was beaten into the hospital!"
Of course, Jia Zhang knew how powerful Li Danniu was, but there was a way out of this situation!
"Lan Zi, we can't afford to offend Li Danniu... But if someone takes the initiative to cause trouble for us, then you can't blame us! We are only on the defensive... Based on my experience over the past few years, every time I have a banquet, someone will cause trouble for me. I guess this time will be no exception... Think about it, isn't this the truth?"
Jia Zhang started talking like a machine gun, and Ma Lan frowned as she listened.
Although what Jia Zhang said made some sense, but damn Li Da Niu was not a reasonable person! This matter still couldn't be done... What if Li Da Niu was implicated?
"Go away, I won't take any risks... No matter how big a story you tell me, it won't work."
When Jia Zhang saw that her daughter-in-law was not willing to listen, her face immediately turned ugly. She wanted to make this happen not just for Yi Zhonghai's money, and if Ma Lan agreed, the money would not be in her hands.
Now Jia Zhang mainly wanted to use Li Danniu to give Ma Lan a good beating, but Ma Lan was not fooled at all.
Jia Zhang's plan to kill someone with a borrowed knife failed...
"You coward, you only bully me... Now you're a coward when you meet Li Danniu, bah! I thought you were so powerful, Ma Lan... You're just a bully in your own backyard."
When Ma Lan heard Jia Zhang's provocation again, she slammed the chopsticks in her hand on the dining table.
"Are you itching for trouble? I am a bully, so what? Are you dissatisfied?... Don't think I don't know what you want to do! You just want to drag me into this trouble, and then put the blame on me."
Jia Zhang immediately defended herself...and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started arguing.

Hayashiya
Xu Wude invited Lin Chen to his home, and now Zhu Cuicui and her son have been successfully brought back. They want to ask Lin Chen to help them come up with a name...
Dwarf Tiger poured a glass of water for his "good son-in-law" and asked Xu Lingling to bring it over. The little girl happily brought it over.
"Brother Lin Chen, drink some water. My mom is cooking some chicken. Why don't you just have a meal here?"
Lin Chen took it and smiled with satisfaction. Xu Lingling will live alone in Bai Ling's room tonight... Lin Chen has to give her a chance to perform.
"Well, I'm too lazy to cook in this hot weather... Then I won't be polite! I've already thought of a name for this little guy, let's call him Xu Shanfeng! It sounds much better than Xu Damao!"
The Xu family immediately became happy when they heard this.
"Okay, okay, Brother Lin, you are amazing! My father named Damao because he wanted the Xu family to flourish... but I failed to live up to his expectations and only have one son and one daughter. Now Damao's son is named Xu Shanfeng, so my family will surely prosper in the future. A mountain is not just ordinary prosperity..."
Lin Chen thought, I just came up with a random name, you old man, why are you so excited! The more lush and green it is, the more you know? You are still flourishing here...
"Old Xu, you can't guarantee that the Xu family will have many children and grandchildren! But Damao can! Leave this important task to your niece-in-law!"
Xu Damao chuckled after hearing this: "Dad, don't worry, Uncle Lin is right... We will definitely give you a few more grandchildren. Then we'll see who dares to bully the Xu family in the courtyard."
Now all the residents of the courtyard can see that it is better to have more sons! Yi Zhonghai has only one son, and he still needs the help of his apprentices to support himself. The Yan family and the Liu family are different. They don't need external help, their own people are enough.
……
More than nine o'clock in the evening
Lin Chen got both Old Xu and Xu Damao drunk, and the three of them drank three kilograms of Lianhuabai. It would be strange if they didn't get drunk...
Seeing that Lin Chen was still sitting steadily, the dwarf tiger liked his son-in-law more and more.
"Brother Lin, are you okay? These two idiots can't drink but are still trying to be brave..."
Lin Chen glanced at the drunken father and son and smiled.
"It's okay, thank you for today..."
When the dwarf saw Lin Chen trying to call for his mother under the influence of alcohol, he was so scared that he quickly interrupted Lin Chen and made a gesture to keep quiet.
"Shh... don't let Cuicui hear it! Just keep it in your heart, it can't be made public now."
