Chapter 118 A Heart Full of Evil
So when Director Yu came again, Wu Peng gradually took over the task of entertaining him. The two of them smoked in the study, plotting how to exploit a loophole to build the building. Wu Peng spoke eloquently, saying it was a win-win situation for everyone, better than not being able to pay wages, and that maybe everyone in the factory would benefit. Director Yu, of course, wouldn't be left out.
If it really worked out, he could retire comfortably, and all his hard work wouldn't have been in vain. Feeling there was potential, Yu Jun called in Geng Youliang. That guy was quick-witted; the two of them working together against Wu Peng wouldn't be afraid of being taken advantage of. Otherwise, he always felt he was about to fall into Wu Peng's trap.
Yao Fanghua then chatted with Madam Yu about everyday things in the living room.
"The third one is too old, so we didn't bother with it this time."
Mrs. Yu felt a little sorry for her dog, which had given birth to several litters but hadn't yet mated with the third dog, who was getting old. It was such a pity.
The next day, Mrs. Yu brought Yao Fanghua a puppy, saying, "This is the best-behaved and most obedient one in the litter."
The two children rushed over as soon as they saw the puppy. Since they were old enough to know, the youngest of them had been a big dog and had never held such a small puppy before.
Seeing the two children happy, Mrs. Yu knew that she had made the right choice in giving them the dog. Seeing her husband, Old Yu, looking worried, she also became worried. He was about to retire, and it was really upsetting. Couldn't people just retire peacefully and quietly?
He was only relying on his old friendship with Yao Fanghua; otherwise, she would have felt embarrassed for him making so many trips.
Jiang Ming and Wu Wenxin were having a blast, climbing trees and walls and fighting. Wu Wenxin, who had been a little princess, had become someone who would beat up people at the slightest disagreement, and could even pin a child a head taller than her to the ground and beat him up.
The kids here don't know what kind of bosses your parents are, and besides, you're not their bosses, so why should they give in to you? Thus, Wu Wenxin and Jiang Ming, who were constantly being pulled by the hair, stepped on by the skirt, and had their things stolen, opened up a new arena: letting their fists do the talking. Wu Wenxin was the main attacker, and Jiang Ming was the finisher. The two fought every day, completely absorbed in their game.
Yao Fanghua thought that the two of them would be starting primary school next year, and they would be attending tutoring classes every day in Shenzhen. So she decided to let them have fun while they could, and didn't restrict them.
Besides the frequent visits from Factory Director Yu, there were also uninvited guests, Aunt Yao and her husband.
Aunt Yao's husband is a doctor at the hospital and had applied for delayed retirement a long time ago. He was the first in the family to know that Grandpa Yao had been moved to a different hospital room.
When I got home, I told Aunt Yao.
Aunt Yao's husband is a doctor. Originally, Aunt Yao was the most outstanding and glamorous among her siblings, simply because her husband was a doctor.
If anyone in the family has a headache or fever, they have to rely on her. Take the late Old Mrs. Yao, for example. Why was she the most favored? Because she was in poor health and frequently had her son-in-law come to treat her. And the children in the family, when they're sick, they rely on her even more for medicine and injections. Like this time when their father was hospitalized, her two younger brothers went to the hospital, and the first person they contacted was her husband. Otherwise, her two useless brothers would have been completely clueless and wouldn't have known what to do at the hospital.
After waiting for several days, seeing that Yao Fanghua and her husband did not come to visit, Yao's uncle felt that he could not wait any longer, so he pulled Yao's aunt to take the initiative.
Aunt Yao was being pulled away by her husband but still didn't want to go. "If anyone should be visiting, it should be the younger generation visiting us. How can we be the ones rushing to visit the younger generation? You even bought so many things. How much money did that cost? Does she even deserve it? When our youngest son was looking for a job, she didn't help him at all."
"What time is it? Stop talking about elders and juniors. Dad, go to the hospital more often and show more filial piety. It doesn't cost you any money or you have to do anything. There are two caregivers to take care of the old man. All you have to do is give orders and ask them to do things. You think you're being filial? Don't be foolish at a time like this!"
Most importantly, regarding your joint report with Yao Fangfang, remember to shift the blame onto Yao Fangfang. Have a serious talk with your niece; if that doesn't work, admit your mistake!
"You want me to admit my mistake? Why should I admit my mistake! She has no family ties at all, she eats the meat herself but doesn't let us have any soup? She deserves to be reported!"
"Shut up! I'm warning you, Hua Hua's niece is different now. If you want to benefit from her, you'd better lower your stance. Think about your son, think about your grandchildren! Don't think about anything else, just think about when you're old and in the hospital, do you want to stay in a luxury ward?!"
The couple rode a small motorcycle with a footrest in front, and Aunt Yao sat on the back with a long face, looking unwilling.
He even pulled a long face as soon as he entered. It was his uncle, on the other hand, who was all smiles and talking to him.
Yao Fanghua's attitude was even colder. She didn't mention the report. She had disliked her aunt's family since she was a child, especially her uncle.
There were reasons she couldn't talk about. Or perhaps she was just too sensitive at the time. In any case, she avoided that family afterward, even during the Lunar New Year if she could avoid them.
Now that her uncle-in-law has come to visit, when she sees him again, and his gaze, hidden behind his glasses, falls on her daughter, she knows that it's not that she's being overly sensitive, but that this man truly is a scoundrel.
Yao Fanghua's eyes darkened, she squeezed the water glass in her hand, and sent the two children out to play.
Aunt Yao's face grew even colder. What kind of attitude was this? Money really makes you heartless! Such a cold face when elders come? Instead of offering good food and drink, they just gave her a glass of water? They didn't even offer the fruit on the table to the elders!
After sitting for a short while, Uncle Yao took his leave. Aunt Yao was unhappy. They had come all this way, they should at least have a meal. She wanted to see what they were eating. Weren't they rich? Did they have to eat delicacies? We came all this way, and we couldn't even get a meal?
Aunt Yao glared at Yao Fanghua, waiting for her to say something to persuade her to stay, but Yao Fanghua didn't say anything and simply got up to see her off. When Wu Peng saw this, he also immediately got up to see her off.
This infuriated Aunt Yao, who went outside and berated Yao Fanghua for being heartless and ungrateful. "What if she's afraid we'll borrow money from her? This is how she treats us elders when we come to her place? Forget about fancy food, she should at least have us stay for a meal!"
"Alright! Let's go home." Uncle Yao said, his heart pounding as he looked at the road ahead.
He was certain that Yao Fanghua had truly seen it back then, and might even still remember it to this day. What a cunning girl! How could she know such a thing at such a young age? He hadn't taken Yao Fanghua seriously before, but now, he felt a little uneasy.
After the couple left, Yao Fanghua hesitated for a moment and then told Wu Peng about what happened back then. She was only a few years old at the time, and she remembered that she had just started elementary school. She saw her uncle pushing his bicycle in the alley, approaching a little girl, giving her a piece of candy, touching her head, and stroking her legs.
She saw it clearly, but at the time she only felt awkward and something was wrong, and couldn't say anything more.
When her uncle turned to look in their direction, she instinctively ran away and hid back in the yard.
After that, she always avoided her uncle and his family.
Now she's certain, and there's no need to hide anymore, because she's no longer the weaker party. As for Aunt Yao's report against her, one incident is enough to teach her a lesson.
This couple is wicked, especially Yao's husband. When she's in a vulnerable position, she can allow herself to turn a blind eye and protect herself, but when she has the means, if she can't even lend a helping hand and instead continues to stand by and watch this scumbag do as he pleases, then what's the difference between her and the scumbag? She can't rest easy until she deals with this couple! Perhaps, this is one of the reasons she's making money and becoming stronger.
