Seeing this, Butler Zhao was already cursing Zhao Juan to the bone in his heart!
What time is it? Why are you still being so jealous?
But unfortunately, the other party was the master, so even if he was dissatisfied, he could only curse in his heart. Taking a deep breath, he came up with another idea:
"Then why don't we let Young Master Yaozu give it a try? After all, Ganli is the young master's biological mother, so she will surely have some consideration for our past relationship."
He paused, then said, "If we don't rescue the master soon, our business will be left unmanaged, and I'm afraid... we won't be able to hold on."
Zhao Juan hesitated.
She knew that although Ganli appeared to be Yaozu's biological mother on the surface, she was not in reality. Would it be of any use for Yaozu to beg for her?
But then she thought again, she heard that the bitch was very good to Chen Pan'er.
Since neither of them are her biological children, and since she can treat that good-for-nothing so well, then her own son Yaozu is well-behaved and cute. If she just patiently coaxes him a bit, how could he be inferior to that good-for-nothing?
After thinking about it, she realized that this actually seemed like a good idea!
More importantly, she really had no other choice.
She turned to Chen Yaozu: "Yaozu, why don't you go and talk to your mother on her behalf? I know you don't get along with her, but... she's the only one who can save your grandfather right now!"
Since Chen Danian and Zhao Juan got married, Chen Yaozu was brought to the Zhao residence. These days, Zhao Juan has been treating him like her own son. Compared with the two, Chen Yaozu hates Gan Li even more.
Even those who aren't his biological children treat him so well; his biological mother... it would be better if she didn't exist!
He already harbored resentment towards Gan Li, and now Zhao Juan was asking him to beg Gan Li, which he was extremely unwilling to do!
However, seeing Zhao Juan crying her eyes out, he found it hard to refuse.
It wasn't because I felt sorry for him, but... if Master Zhao were to fall, wouldn't he have to go back to living that impoverished life?
"I'll go!" Chen Yaozu gritted his teeth and agreed.
Seeing that he had agreed, Steward Zhao immediately ordered someone to prepare a carriage and head to Shiweitian.
Chen Danian wanted to go too, but Zhao Juan pushed him away, saying, "Such a big thing has happened at home. How can we manage without someone in charge? You shouldn't go. Just stay home."
Chen Danian cursed this shrew in his heart. Did she really intend to lock him up like a prisoner for the rest of his life?
However, they dared not, and could only grit their teeth and watch the carriage leave.
On the way, Zhao Juan and Chen Yaozu rehearsed their conversation with Gan Li several times. However, when they arrived at Shiweitian, they found the doors closed and the restaurant empty.
"What happened? Where is everyone?" Zhao Juan looked around.
Steward Zhao hurriedly ran to the neighboring shop to inquire, and returned shortly afterward with a grim expression.
"Miss, we've found out. Because their restaurant was vandalized and they can't do business, they need to rebuild the tables and chairs, so the Gan family has simply returned to Yuxi Village."
"What? Go back to the village?" Zhao Juan was furious upon hearing this. "These country bumpkins, why would they go back to the village for no reason?"
"Miss, what should we do now?" Butler Zhao asked cautiously.
"What else can we do? Go to Yuxi Village!" Zhao Juan gritted her teeth and plopped back into the carriage.
The carriage bumped along the way and finally arrived at Yuxi Village. Zhao Juan got off the carriage and saw the place where she had grown up, but her face was full of disgust.
Not only that, but he also cursed and swore:
"What kind of godforsaken place is this! How can it be so awful! The Gan family is just destined to be poor. They've already opened a restaurant and have a place to stay in town, yet they still come to a place like this. If you ask me, they're just born poor and will never be able to turn their lives around!"
They were afraid that people would realize they had some connection to this place!
Chen Yaozu was also disgusted. Listening to his stepmother's complaints, he felt not angry, but embarrassed!
Why did you come back here again? Aunt Zhao is absolutely right, those people are just destined to be poor and never enjoy happiness!
"Madam, let's hurry and go find the Gan family." Butler Zhao couldn't help but frown; he didn't want to stay in this place for even a moment longer.
Zhao Juan then shut her mouth, and the group headed towards the village.
Along the way, many villagers stopped to watch and pointed at them when they saw their impressive display.
"Hey, isn't that Master Zhao's carriage? How did it end up in our village?"
"Look at that woman, dressed in gold and silver, with such an arrogant air about her, she's definitely not a good person."
"Could they be here to cause trouble for the Gan family?"
Every word of the villagers' chatter reached Zhao Juan's ears, making her so angry that her face turned ashen and she wished she could disappear into the ground.
Having finally arrived at the Gan family's old house, Zhao Juan took a deep breath and was about to knock on the door when she suddenly heard a burst of laughter coming from the courtyard.
Although she couldn't hear the sound, the laughter was enough to pierce Zhao Juan's heart!
Thinking about how she was in such a mess while these people were still laughing and joking, Zhao Juan felt a rush of blood to her head and her mind went blank. When she came to her senses, she had already kicked open the door of the Gan family's house!
Zhao Juan's kick shook the ground. The Gan family, who were sitting together having lunch, were so frightened by her action that they almost threw their bowls away.
"Who is it? Breaking into someone's house in broad daylight without even knocking!" Old Mrs. Gan reacted the fastest, standing up while holding onto the table, glaring and scolding.
When everyone turned around and saw that it was Zhao Juan, they were surprised, but then they were a little angry.
Are these Zhao family members never going to stop? They take turns coming to cause trouble!
Gan Mingyi stepped forward with a dark expression and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing here? You are not welcome here, get out!"
Butler Zhao was also startled by Zhao Juan's actions. Seeing the unfriendly expressions on the Gan family's faces, he quickly tugged at Zhao Juan's sleeve and whispered:
"My dear aunt, we're here to ask for your help today, so please be at least a little more polite!"
Zhao Juan's face turned pale and then red after being scolded by Granny Gan, and she felt very wronged.
The person who used to protect and cherish her now treats her coldly. She feels a sense of anger, as if something of hers has been taken away, and her hatred for Ganli intensifies.
She wanted to vent her anger, but when she thought about the Zhao family's current impoverished situation, she swallowed her anger.
She forced a smile and said, "Don't misunderstand, I'm here today because I need your help."
Gan Mingyi snorted coldly: "You want something from us? You want something from us? I think you've come here with ill intentions!"
Zhao followed closely behind, saying sarcastically, "What kind of good person would kick down someone's door to ask for help?"
"I really have something to ask of you..." Seeing that they were unmoved by her words, Zhao Juan had no choice but to think of her son, Yaozu.
Now that his identity has changed, Yaozu is still their grandson!
She quietly tugged at Chen Yaozu's clothes.
Fortunately, Chen Yaozu hadn't forgotten why he was there today. Sensing Zhao Juan's hint, he quickly stepped forward, blinked his small eyes, and said:
"Grandpa, Grandma, I've come to find my mother!"
