The two brothers, Yu Sanzhu and Yu Erzhu, helped Wang Shi back home and escorted the old woman back inside.
Wang was sitting on a chair in the main room, angrily shaking off her two sons.
He cursed, "You two useless things, what are you afraid of them for?"
"Do you even have the shame to show yourselves in the village anymore?"
Wang pointed at her two sons, thinking to herself how she could have given birth to two good-for-nothings, and how they could be afraid of the two little brats from the first wife's side.
What's even more infuriating is that he was actually intimidated by the eldest son's wife's imposing manner.
The eldest son and his wife used to be the most honest.
The two rushed forward, and Yu Sanzhu gently comforted her, "Mother, don't take it to heart. Dazhu's wife is different now. She's a formidable person now. Let's not stoop to her level."
Yu Erzhu chimed in, "Yes, Mother, your health is important. Don't upset yourself."
Meanwhile, Yang Juhua went straight back to her room, plopped down on the kang (a heated brick bed), and curled her lips into a disdainful smile.
She thought to herself, "Hmph, that old woman, she knew long ago that she would be completely subdued by Dazhu's family, she couldn't care less whether she lived or died."
However, we need to quickly find a way to separate the family. If this family continues to be tangled up like this, I won't get any benefits.
Li Hehua stormed into her room and slammed the door shut.
She was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it. She muttered, "That old woman is utterly useless. I was hoping to use her to put down Dazhu's wife and teach those two wolves a lesson, so I could vent my anger."
Instead of getting revenge, she was scolded by Dazhu's wife, and she lost face as well.
She grew angrier the more she thought about it, pacing back and forth in the room.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a brilliant idea, and her face instantly brightened.
A short while later, Yu Sanzhu pushed open the door and came in.
Li Hehua quickly pulled him aside and whispered a few words to him.
As Yu Sanzhu listened, his eyes widened, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. He nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but praise, "Wife, you're really something! This idea is brilliant!"
Then, Yu Sanzhu went to his mother, Wang, and began to deceive her: "Mother, I have something to tell you."
Wang was still angry and waved her hand, "Speak quickly if you have something to say. Is it your wife's doing something wicked again?"
She understands her son; most of the time, he listens to his daughter-in-law.
He didn't have many ideas of his own.
"Mother, you're so smart. It was indeed my wife who sent me here."
But this time it's not some crazy idea.
It's a great opportunity for us to make a fortune.
Yu Sanzhu forced a fawning smile and said.
"Hmph, what opportunity to make a fortune?"
Are you trying to get money from me again?
If you really want money, then don't ask, lest you make me angry again.
Madam Wang glanced at her third son and snorted coldly.
She can tell what kind of poop a kid takes just by sticking his butt out.
"Mom, look at what you're saying. This time I'm really talking about something serious, something important about making money."
However, you will need to invest a small amount, just a hundred yuan in principal.
I guarantee I'll make money.
Yu Sanzhu raised his hand in assurance.
"Then tell me, what are your plans to make money?"
Seeing how serious her son was, Wang nodded with a hint of doubt.
"Mother, have you heard how Dazhu's two sons make a living?"
"Is that even a question? Everyone in the village knows about it now."
Those two bastards just make a living by buying vegetables from the villagers and then selling them in the city.
Wang had already heard about it.
"Yes, we can do that too!"
"You're also buying and selling vegetables?"
"Don't joke around!" Wang was taken aback.
"Yes, Mother, I'm not joking, I'm serious."
Think about it, if Yu Dazhu can make money by buying vegetables from the villagers, why can't we?
If we also take it, wouldn't we be able to snatch the business away from the eldest son's family?
From now on, all that hard-earned money will be ours!
Yu Sanzhu was overjoyed at the thought that he could make money in the future and even take over the business that had been taken over.
"Third brother, delivering vegetables is hard work. You have to get up very early. Are you sure you can handle that?"
Wang knew her sons very well. When it came to enduring hardship, the eldest and second sons were both capable, but the third son had never experienced any hardship and was the one most afraid of it.
"Mom, if there's money to be made, why would I be afraid of hardship?"
When my wife and I are together, what can't we do?
Mom, believe me, from now on I'll make sure you live a good life with the money I earn, and our family will finally have something to be proud of.
"I'll take over all of the eldest son's business. Since they're so disrespectful to you, I'll make them regret it."
Yu Sanzhu spoke with great enthusiasm.
A glimmer of light flashed in Wang's originally dim eyes, but having experienced the ways of the world, she harbored doubts and slowly asked, "Do you know where Dazhu's family sells those vegetables?"
"If you take the vegetables from the villagers, where will you sell them?"
Yu Sanzhu was prepared and immediately said confidently, "Mother, what's so difficult about that? Tomorrow we'll secretly follow the Yu brothers, and we'll know where they're sending it!"
After listening, Madam Wang pondered for a moment and felt that the method seemed feasible, so she nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since you have an idea, then I will trust you this time."
As she spoke, she took out a small cloth bag from the cabinet, carefully untied it, took out ten ten-yuan bills and handed them to Yu Sanzhu, "Consider this your capital, don't mess it up for your mother."
Yu Sanzhu happily accepted the money, patting his chest and assuring her, "Mother, don't worry, it will definitely work!"
Yu Sanzhu took the money and stuffed it into his pocket, then sneaked out of his mother's room.
After checking the yard and finding no sign of his second brother and his wife, he immediately rushed back to his room and slammed the door shut.
"How about it?
"Sanzhu, did your mother give you the money?"
Li Hehua asked expectantly.
"It was given."
Yu Sanzhu said happily.
The two of them got together and started counting money on the bed.
Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes were watching their every move from outside the window.
Yu Chengyuan stayed in his room, thinking about how his elder brother would be going to Hao Xiaohe's house to propose marriage in a couple of days.
I don't have any evidence right now. If I tell my parents and older brother directly, will they believe me?
Without evidence, my parents probably wouldn't be willing to break their promise.
It seems we still need to find evidence.
With that in mind, he rode his bicycle out again, and in the afternoon, Yu Chengyuan made it home before dark.
