Song Nuannuan, a Chinese herbal medicine merchant, was required by her grandmother to return home and inherit the family business. Just as she reached the doorstep, she died.
Upon waking, she...
If you want to be envious, then you should work harder. Let's work together and strive to make money. Then we elders will give you a thumbs up and say you are awesome!
If you can only see those things, only envy others, only feel jealous, and do small things behind others' backs, then get out of our village as soon as possible. Our village does not welcome such people.
If you still have any conscience, go to the ancestral hall and kneel before your ancestors!"
That person got up and left, followed by several others. They all knew in their hearts that the village chief was calling their names, as they had been gossiping behind their backs for the past few days.
There were also a few who were dragged over by their parents by their ears.
Looking at their self-awareness, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief. What did this mean? It meant that their village could be saved.
"Grandpa, the village chief?"
Nuannuan didn't expect that the village chief would make the decision for her.
"Nuannuan, if we don't do this, their ideas will become more and more extreme, and then our village will be in trouble.
We are old, and we will have to let young people take over in the future. We can’t let their hearts be damaged.
If you give too much, they will take it for granted. If you stop one day, they will turn around and blame you.
Many people in the village are jealous of your wealth and are doing things behind your back. This is absolutely not allowed. It's not for your sake, but it's wrong to do so.
The village chief also did things that were unfair to you in the past. I don’t know if it was because I was old and confused, but I felt sorry for you back then.”
Nuannuan quickly shook her head. She had not expected the village chief to apologize.
She is actually not as good as they say, but she has to do that. If she were older, she would definitely not make this choice. She is not a naive person.
But there is no need to say this, this result is a good thing for her.
"The village chief has always been helping us siblings. He's very kind. He helped us move and repaired the roof. I remember all of this."
Finally, the village chief and his men sent Nuannuan back and went to the ancestral hall to meet with them.
Nuannuan returned home and found that the three were still waiting for her and had not slept at all. It was dark by then and Jiajia could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
"Why are you still waiting for me? Have you eaten yet?"
The two nodded and shook their heads, "Jia Jia has eaten. Let's wait for sister. The food is in the pot and we will serve it out right away."
They brought out the food and the three siblings ate together. "Sister, how is it?"
Nuannuan did not hide anything from them and told them all the details.
After hearing this, the two reacted differently. Song Feifei was very angry.
"They are really going too far. Sister, no matter how nice you are to them, it's useless. They don't appreciate it at all and think it's our duty."
What's wrong with their family being rich? That was earned by my sister with all her hard work, by grandma and my parents. What does it have to do with them?
How dare they say such things? They are so shameless.
Song Chengcheng was much more rational. He had been paying attention during this period and knew that the villagers were talking about them behind their backs. He was just about to have a good talk with his sister, but he didn't expect something to happen today.
"Sister, it's good that it's like this today. They'll definitely be quiet for a while and won't dare to gossip about our family behind our backs. Sister, have you been letting them know how much money we've spent lately?"
Cheng Cheng felt that whatever her sister did, there must be a reason, and she would not do it for no reason.
"Well, I want them to know that we've spent all the money, so they don't have to worry about it. What the village chief and the elders did today will stop them from doing anything rash, at least not in the near future. Otherwise, they'll be truly heartless."
While eating, Nuannuan analyzed the current situation with her two younger brothers.
"Have you noticed that these past few days, people have been asking about our family's wealth, and there are also many people who we had no contact with before who suddenly came out and said they were close to our parents."
The two nodded quickly. Of course, even the friends in the village would ask if their family was particularly rich.
"So, show them that we have no money. They'll calm down a bit, but you still have to keep training. Only when you grow up can you be fearless.
When we are covered in armor, we will not be afraid of attacks from others.
At that time, you don’t need to pay attention to what they say or do.
Of course, we should also remember the kindness of our elders. Remember one thing: no matter where you are, there will always be a few idiots who are brainless and jumpy. Don't take them to heart.
If you're really angry, I'll wait until you're stronger, and then put you in a sack on a dark and windy night."
When the two heard this idea, their eyes lit up and they wanted to become stronger.
One day a few months later, several people in the village were put into sacks and beaten like pig heads at night, but that’s a story for another time.
