Old Madam Qiao indeed had some money in her hand, but she did not want to take even a penny out. Why should she compensate for the dowry that she had taken from her daughter-in-law? Then what was the point of saving the money in the past? The more she thought, the more reluctant she felt. She stubbornly refused. "What kind of nonsense is this? I am her mother-in-law, so what if I took some of her dowry away? Which daughter-in-law doesn't suffer in the hands of her mother-in-law? Anyway, you have seen the condition of our family; I cannot take even a penny out, much less a thousand yuan."
She was never going to give even a penny to Han Xuehan. It would be such a waste! Why would she take money out for this woman? She could not even give birth to a child. What was the point of keeping a woman like her? It was bad enough that they had raised this woman for so many years without getting anything in return.
Now she even had to take a thousand yuan and give it to her? Never!
