Yu Yao transmigrates into a male-targeted novel set in the '70s as a delicate female supporting character. However, something unexpected happens—she suddenly gains immense superhuman strength, ...
Chapter 33 (Catching Bugs)
Yu Yao really didn't expect her elder brother to do this. To be honest, she was a little confused.
She found that her elder brother had some sinister and violent nature, and she didn't know if it was caused by his experiences in recent years. Yu Yao also didn't know whether this was a good thing.
It was a pity that the book did not describe him in detail, and Yu Yao could not figure it out no matter how hard she tried.
"Yu Ping, you...sister, do you think so too?"
Jiang Yugui was frightened by Yu Ping and thought that Yu Ping was really living a good life now, so he no longer acknowledged him as his uncle.
But he is their uncle, how can they just sever the relationship?
Besides, even if he agrees, his elder sister won't agree.
However, he did not expect that his elder sister, who had always doted on him, had no intention of helping him this time. She just said indifferently, "It depends on whether you want this job or not. If you do, just listen to Yu Ping."
“Big sister…”
What on earth is going on?
Jiang Yugui didn't understand. What did he do to make his elder sister break off all ties with him?
Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind. Could it be that his elder sister knew that he asked Yu Ping to help buy cigarettes?
How did her elder sister know?
He looked at Yu Ping again, who had an indifferent expression, and suddenly understood.
He was indeed at fault for what happened back then, but who could have imagined that Yu Sheng would be so dishonest when sleeping? If he had known, he would definitely not have done that.
He really regretted it so much. Of course, he didn't regret asking Yu Ping, who was only a few years old, to run for an hour to buy cigarettes for him, but he regretted that small mistake that led to the current situation.
Seeing that my eldest sister's family might have really married into a wealthy family, and Yu Ping, who had never been in contact with his hometown, had also returned, how could I abandon them at this time?
However, what he didn't know was, how could Jiang Limei not know about what happened back then?
How could she not know that Yu Ping often ran errands for her brother at the supply and marketing cooperative for a few cents? Even if she didn't know once or twice, the villagers would tell her.
They would say that Yu Ping was such a fool, running so hard for a penny or two that his clothes were soaked.
Why did he have to run errands for his second uncle? Wasn't it because his family was poor? How could a child of a few years old earn money?
They didn't blame Yu Ping at the beginning, so how could they blame Jiang Yugui?
They knew Jiang Yugui's personality very well and knew that he often asked Yu Ping for money, so they should have made it clear to the children first.
Therefore, even if Jiang Limei and her husband knew the truth, they would only blame themselves and would never blame the younger generation.
However, Jiang Limei gradually discovered that her family's tolerance of Jiang Yugui's family did not lead to mutual support between the two families. Instead, it made the other side take advantage of them even more.
It's no big deal to take advantage of her, she doesn't care, but now I'm taking advantage of her child.
Don't think she doesn't know. When Yu Ping went to the county town for treatment, Jiang Yugui came to the city to seek benefits. She had obviously already gone to Cao Guifang's parents' home. And the girl Cao Guifang brought had her eyes glued to Gu Qing yesterday, and today her eyes were glued to the second brother.
Sometimes, when you really think something through clearly, it's as if all the water in your brain has been drained out.
Jiang Yugui was actually spoiled by her.
For the sake of a job, he even ignored his own son and expected him to help his family in the future?
She might as well dream it faster.
"You don't need to reply so quickly. We will return to the city before dark. Just give me the reply before we return to the city."
Jiang Yugui raised his eyes and was almost dazzled by the setting sun in the distance. This nephew didn't give his uncle any face at all.
In fact, Jiang Yugui is not stupid, otherwise he would not have lived such a comfortable life for so many years without doing anything. To put it bluntly, people like him are the best at pursuing personal gain.
He thought clearly that if he agreed to Yu Ping's request today, he would most likely never be able to take advantage of his eldest sister's family again.
But can he gain the upper hand by just throwing a tantrum and refusing to agree to Yu Ping's request?
Obviously impossible, so what you hold in your hand is the most reliable.
"Yu Ping, you really disappoint my second uncle." He no longer looked at Jiang Limei, looking as if he was deeply hurt by her.
Until now he still couldn't believe that his elder sister could be so cruel to him.
Jiang Yugui guessed that Jiang Limei must have been provoked because of a momentary confusion. After Yu Ping left, he would come and cry to her a few times, and his elder sister would surely soften her heart. Anyway, as long as his elder sister still lived in the village, she would not be able to abandon him.
"Yu Sheng, Yu Yao, Yu An, do you all think so? An An, I even gave you Fu Bao's candy."
Yu An snorted and said, "Fubao said that those are the things he hates to eat the most. The delicious White Rabbit milk candy is in his other pocket."
It is said that children can understand adults' hearts best. In the past, Yu An would often come home and talk about how his uncle would coax his candy into giving to Fubao, and how he would exchange Fubao's things for things he didn't like. Jiang Limei knew all about it, but she didn't care at that time.
She thought that everyone would definitely stick to their own family, and it was natural for Jiang Yugui to do so. But now it seems that she was really stupid. Take herself for example, let alone trying to coax Fubao, had she ever thought about anything about Jiang Yugui?
Seeing that the whole family seemed determined, Jiang Yugui had no choice but to pretend to be hurt and said, "Okay, since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. Let's sign a document now. We will break off the engagement. You have to find me a formal job in the city and give me 200 yuan."
Everyone was shocked by his shameless attitude. Two hundred yuan was equivalent to another job, so how could he be so shameless?
"If you don't give it to me, I will go to the gate of the steel factory and make a scene. Isn't your father-in-law the director of the steel factory? I have already inquired about you two and you are also from the steel factory. I want to see if those workers will turn a blind eye if they know that their director's son-in-law is forcing their uncle to break off the relationship."
"You dare!" Zhao Tian was about to get angry, but was stopped by Yu Ping.
"Okay, I promise you." Yu Ping said.
He agreed so easily that Jiang Yugui felt a little regretful at the time. After all, they had already fallen out. If he asked for 500 yuan, no, 1,000 yuan, wouldn't he never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life?
However, his eyes rolled, and Yu Ping seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "If you dare to make excessive demands again, I will sink you into the Xiaojing River tonight and no one will know. Believe it or not."
Jiang Yugui got angry when he heard this. This was a naked threat!
He glared at him fiercely, but the other party did not react at all. He looked at the others, and they all looked at him as if he were a dead man.
"How is that possible? The conditions are what we agreed on. Hurry up and get some paper and pen."
After he finished speaking, he realized that Yu Sheng had already taken out paper and pen at some point, looking very anxious.
"Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you. You were a woman with several children living in the village for so many years. Do you think it's because you're capable? It's because you're from the Jiang family, and we have a male heir. Otherwise, do you think no one would bully you, an orphan and a widow?"
The more he talked, the more Jiang Limei felt disappointed. "Well, thank you for your hard work these years. Just take care of your family in the future. Is this two hundred enough to buy you some protection?"
Seeing her mother's expression, Yu Yao probably thought that the money and the job were really for Jiang Yugui.
However, based on her limited understanding of her eldest brother, things should not be that simple, and her second uncle's efforts were probably in vain.
Jiang Yugui naturally couldn't guess what Yu Yao was thinking, but he didn't want to make trouble after being choked by Jiang Limei. His elder sister must have heard some gossip.
After all, many of the things that happened in the past were done by Cao Guifang. What does it have to do with him?
He might as well find some ruffians from the next village to scare his elder sister, otherwise she will think she is so powerful.
No one knew that he had such thoughts. If Yu Ping could see through his thoughts, someone might have really died in Xiaojing River today.
But in the end, I never had the chance to conduct this experiment.
The divorce agreement was signed quickly. Jiang Limei and Yu Ping went with Jiang Yugui to see the village chief as witnesses. They also provided a job application as a guarantee. This was Jiang Limei's request. She didn't want Jiang Yugui to use this matter to criticize her family in the future.
Naturally, both of them agreed.
After signing everything, the three of them left the village chief's house together. Jiang Limei suddenly said, "You guys go first. I have something to say to the village chief."
At this time, Jiang Yugui was holding the list as if he was already a superior person. He walked with a limp. He was going to go home and ask Cao Guifang to get some wine and food. Why would he care what Jiang Limei wanted to do?
But even if he wanted to control it, he couldn't do anything about it now that the relationship was severed.
Jiang Limei just informed them and turned around and went inside.
Village chief Qian Decai was a little confused when he saw her coming back, but he still asked with concern: "What's wrong? Is there anything you don't understand?"
"No, Uncle Decai, I want to ask, can the Yu family's house be sold?"
"You want to sell the house?" Qian Decai was extremely surprised. As for the severance of the relationship between the Yu family and Jiang Yugui, he really had nothing to say. Anyway, Jiang Yugui had been a bad person for a long time, and everyone in the village could see it. Only Jiang Limei was not in a clear mind.
Now that I have finally regained my composure, why am I doing something stupid again? Is it possible to sell a house easily?
Jiang Limei was very determined, "Yes, the children are all going to the city, and it is not convenient for me to take care of Yu An in the countryside alone."
In fact, it was Jiang Yugui's words just now that reminded her that in the past, she could make a lot of noise and no one bothered her, but what about when she gets old?
Besides, the children can all live a good life in the city, so if she insists on staying, she will just be a worry. She can make paper boxes and pick up waste in the city, and she will never starve to death.
The most important thing was that she knew Jiang Yugui too well. Although the divorce agreement had been signed, he would definitely come to see her often. It was all over now that he was gone, and she would no longer be bothered by him.
The memories this place brought back to her were not good.
It’s time for the rest of their family to start a new life.
