"Uncle Zhou, I know you're close to the eldest branch of the Yu family and have a good relationship with them."
They also know that the second branch of the Yu family is now close to the first branch and has a good relationship with them.
So you wanted to do a favor for the eldest son's family, and thus helped the second son's family.
I understand these things, but you can't be so biased towards my second uncle and his family.
How could you lie so blatantly, saying my grandmother had no savings or property?
Yu Dabao showed absolutely no respect for his elders, speaking in a very disrespectful tone and with a disdainful expression.
"Da Bao, how could you say that about the village chief?"
Would the village chief lie to you?
Your grandmother did not leave any money or valuables, let alone the gold and silver jewelry and gold bars you mentioned, which is utterly absurd.
I've never seen these things before, and your grandmother has never mentioned them."
Yu Erzhu was furious.
Yang Juhua wondered if Yu Dabao's claim of seeing it with his own eyes was true.
But the old woman didn't have any of these things in her house.
The couple had sorted through the old woman's belongings when they found no gold or silver jewelry, let alone gold bars.
There are no deposit slips either.
There was only a little over a hundred yuan in cash left, and it had all been used up for the funeral.
Could it be that these two brothers deliberately said that in order to come back and extort money from their second wife's family?
Hmph, you wish!
With Yang Juhua around, the third branch of the family won't be able to take a single penny from their family.
"You, Yu Dabao, not only insulted the village chief, but also dared to fabricate stories out of thin air."
Your grandfather, Mr. Yu, was just a farmer. He had to borrow money to pay for his funeral before he could be buried.
Your grandmother relied on extorting money from the eldest son's family. Even if she had some savings, she used them all on your third son's family.
The two children's monthly living expenses and pocket money have cost the old lady quite a bit of money.
In addition, your mother lost a lot of money in her business.
Your father doesn't earn a penny; he just lazes around at home. The work in the fields is all done by the eldest and second wives.
Before the family was divided, the eldest son's wife was always the one who took advantage of the situation and made money for Wang Shi.
Later, the eldest son's family branched out, and your grandmother had no income at all, so where would she get so much savings?
My son Erzhu only knows how to do farm work, and he doesn't know how to earn money.
I'd like to ask your grandmother where she got the money to buy gold and silver jewelry, and she even mentioned gold bars! She's dreaming in broad daylight, she's still half asleep!
Yang Juhua didn't believe that Old Lady Wang had gold and silver jewelry and gold bars. After all, the Yu family had always been farmers and had never been wealthy. How could they possibly have such valuables?
Therefore, she concluded that the two brothers had come back to extort money, most likely because Yu Erbao was running out of living expenses!
Yu Dabao is Yu Erbao's loyal sycophant, and probably obeys Yu Erbao's orders.
"Second Aunt, you don't need to get so agitated."
My older brother never lies; if he says he saw it with his own eyes, then it must be true.
Grandma definitely has these things, but she just hasn't had a chance to tell us yet.
So none of you know.
But these things can't grow legs and fly away. Yesterday, my older brother and I turned Grandma's house upside down, but we didn't find any gold or silver jewelry, let alone gold bars.
If this happens, there's only one possibility: someone has moved these items, and their purpose is obvious: to keep them for themselves.
Yu Erbao, as expected of a college student, spoke with confidence and clear logic, as if he were telling the truth.
"My second brother is right, there must be someone who wants to take my grandmother's good stuff for themselves."
As the saying goes, "Man dies for wealth, birds die for food!"
Some people have a dark mindset and want to devour the whole pig.
Hmph, aren't they afraid of not being able to eat and dying from overeating!
Uncle Zhou, I saw with my own eyes that my grandmother had a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as well as gold bars!
You must seek justice for us brothers!
"My parents have already gone to such a place, I'm afraid they can't help me at all now."
Our beloved grandmother is gone, and now only my brother and I are left to depend on each other.
If you don't help us, we're afraid we won't even be able to survive.
Yu Dabao looked as if he had suffered a great injustice.
“Yu Dabao, Yu Erbao, on the day Old Lady Wang died, your second uncle and his wife cleared out her belongings, and there really wasn’t anything left.”
Yu Dazhu and his wife were also present, along with some other villagers.
It would be impossible for Yu Erzhu and his wife to actually do anything.
How could they have done something under the watchful eyes of everyone?
Alright, you two brothers, stop making trouble here and go down the mountain!
Your second uncle and his wife have already gone through so much trouble handling the funeral arrangements, and instead of being grateful, you're spouting nonsense and making up lies—it's utterly ridiculous!
If Zhou Jianguo still doesn't understand what these two bastards are up to at this point, then he should just replace him as village chief.
He knew the Yu family's background and foundation.
Let alone gold bars, you'd be hard-pressed to find even one or two pieces of gold and silver jewelry in their shop.
How could there possibly be gold bars left?
That's something only wealthy families could afford.
Since ancient times, gold has been something that only wealthy people could possess; how could ordinary people possibly have such a thing?
Therefore, he concluded that Yu Erbao must have come up with such a wicked trick because he was thinking about not having enough living expenses for the next six months. He was truly unworthy of being a scholar.
"Thank you for the village chief's trust in my wife and me."
Honey, let's go back!
From now on, those two ungrateful brats have nothing to do with us anymore.
