Chapter 132: Xiao Ran's Self-Indulgent Thoughts
After several servants searched the house, they only found two cabinets, a dressing table, some cut cloth and some small change.
When everything was moved into the yard, everyone couldn't help sighing.
Jiang Lanlan's dowry has been almost squandered. The Xie family is really too much.
Xiao Ran frowned.
"That's all?"
The servant stepped forward and slapped Xiao Ran.
"My young master is asking you a question! Answer it now!"
Xiao Ran didn't care about the pain on his face and answered quickly.
"That's...that's all!"
"What about other things?"
"I gambled all of it away."
Xie Zhi knew that it was difficult for him to speak, and when he finished speaking, his voice was as soft as a mosquito, but it was heard clearly by everyone.
Xiao Ran really wanted to beat up this scumbag himself, but in order to maintain his image, he held back.
"It doesn't matter if you spend it, as long as you make up for it. You have three days to make up for the items on the dowry list. If you can't make up for it, you can use the equivalent amount of silver to make up for it."
Xie Zhi was dumbfounded. Where could he get so much money?
He accidentally saw the poultry and livestock in the yard.
"I bought all of this with Jiang Lanlan's money, and it cost quite a bit of money. You can take these away as collateral, okay?"
Xiao Ran glanced at the things in the yard with disdain and said disdainfully: "These things are not on the dowry list, you can keep them for yourselves, I only want the silver!"
He suddenly thought of something and warned them, "Don't even think about running away. Just collect the money and I won't pursue this matter any further. Otherwise, I'll send you to jail."
The Wu mother and son were instantly paralyzed with fear.
How could they, the peasants from the countryside, dare to offend the powerful? They knew very well that they could not defeat the powerful.
Now they had no choice but to obey, and they were completely dumbfounded.
Only now did they feel a little regretful that they had treated Jiang Lanlan so harshly.
If they had treated Jiang Lanlan well in the beginning, would things be different now?
But there is no medicine for regret in the world. People with evil intentions will always pay a heavy price for their mistakes.
Xiao Ran stood up with Dong Lai's help, "Load your things onto the carriage, and come back with me in three days."
"Yes!"
The servants answered in unison, their voices clear, loud, and deafening.
Xiao Ran came in front of Su Xiaoxiao, lowered his head slightly, and asked in a low voice.
"Are you satisfied with this result?"
Su Xiaoxiao's mouth corners slightly raised.
"Very satisfied!"
"That's good, let's get in the car, and you don't have to worry about this!"
"Thank you, Master Xiao."
"You are Welcome!"
As the two were talking, they got on the carriage, and the servants also neatly loaded the little dowry that Jiang Lanlan had left onto the carriage.
The group left in a mighty procession.
The villagers looked at the carriage going away, then looked at Wu's mother and son, without a trace of pity in their eyes. They chatted with each other and left together.
In the carriage, Su Xiaoxiao glanced at Xiao Ran inadvertently.
This dude doesn't seem that bad.
Xiao Ran happened to see Su Xiaoxiao looking at him, and said with a smug look on his face, "Why? Are you attracted by my handsomeness?"
Su Xiaoxiao immediately rolled her eyes, "You're being sentimental!"
Xiao Ran curled his lips in disdain.
"It seems you're also a stubborn woman. Forget it. I know you women always say one thing and mean another, so I won't bother with you. But I have to remind you that although I'm talented and handsome, and I'm a romantic, you must not fall in love with me, okay?"
The corners of Su Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, and she couldn't help but retort.
"Who gave you that confidence? Why don't you look in the mirror? I can't stand your behavior. Please don't worry!"
Instead of being angry, Xiao Ran became even more proud.
"Forget it. The look in your eyes just now has already said it all. It can't be hidden from this young master's sharp eyes."
As he said this, he stretched out his index and middle fingers and gestured between his eyes and Su Xiaoxiao, as if he was very smart.
Su Xiaoxiao gave a disgusted reaction, but Xiao Ran still didn't care.
Donglai was unhappy.
"Miss Su, after all, my young master did help you. You don't need to be grateful, and there's no need to be disrespectful to my young master like this!"
Su Xiaoxiao gave Donglai a glare.
"You teach me how to do things?"
The cold look made Donglai shrink his neck subconsciously.
"You...you are being very...very rude to my young master, okay?"
"Didn't I thank your young master? But speaking objectively, he is indeed overly sentimental. How could I possibly fall in love with him?"
After Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned her head away, too lazy to look at the master and servant.
Donglai's chest heaved with anger, and he looked at Xiao Ran with a look of grievance.
"Master, why is Miss Su like this?"
"It's okay. We are men, and men should be generous. How can we be so petty as to argue with a little girl? Besides, she was right. She did thank me. Come on, give me a leg massage. Let's ignore her!"
Donglai snorted coldly at Su Xiaoxiao, sat down next to Xiao Ran's legs and massaged his legs.
The carriage became quiet again and sped all the way, soon returning to Dahe Village and stopping in front of the Jiang family's door.
When the Jiang family heard the noise, they hurried out to check.
Su Xiaoxiao got off the car first, and Jiang Lanlan immediately went over to her, looking at her with a worried look on her face.
"How was it? Did they bully you?"
She was really afraid that the bastard Xie Zhi would also attack Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao took Jiang Lanlan's hand and comforted her, "It's okay, I'm fine."
As he was speaking, Xiao Ran got off the carriage with the help of Donglai, and asked the servants to move Jiang Lanlan's dowry into the yard.
The Jiang family was surprised when they saw the dowry being carried back.
They thought that Jiang Lanlan's dowry would be wasted and taken away by the Xie family, but they didn't expect Xiao Ran to take it back.
Jiang Guangfa was the first to speak: "Thank you, Master Xiao, for getting our daughter's dowry back. We are very grateful!"
Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "Uncle Jiang, you don't have to be polite. This is just a small portion of what I'm taking back. I'll ask him to gather the rest of the money that Xie Zhi spent within three days. After three days, I'll get all of Miss Jiang's dowry back. It's not too late for you to thank me later!"
"Oh, by the way, here is the divorce agreement. Keep it safe. No one will dare to say anything if Miss Jiang marries someone else in the future."
Jiang Guangfa took the divorce agreement and looked at the place where he had signed it. His eyes turned red with excitement.
They thought that the best outcome would be if Xie Zhi agreed to divorce his wife, but they didn't expect that Xiao Ran actually made Xie Zhi agree to divorce.
Fang Guixiang could no longer control the moisture in her eyes and it burst out.
"Thank you, Master Xiao, thank you, Master Xiao!"
As she said this, she was about to kneel down to Xiao Ran.
This is equivalent to saving Jiang Lanlan!
Although they were prepared for Jiang Lanlan to be divorced, the reputation of being divorced was not good after all.
Jiang Lanlan is still so young and will have to get married again in the future.
Who would be willing to marry a divorced woman?
With this divorce certificate, things will be much better and it will also be easier for Jiang Lanlan to get married again in the future.
