Chapter 159: Money-hungry
At this time, Chen Ruolan was sitting on the kang in the west room sulking, her eyes full of anger, and her jealousy towards Chen Qingqing was growing more and more intense.
I didn't expect that the damn girl was actually quite capable and could even make sugar. Compared to her, I was just a straw bag.
Even his self-righteous appearance was a little less impressive at this moment.
Since the separation, I found that Chen Qingqing is becoming more and more beautiful.
In the past, she was pale and thin, wearing ragged clothes, and looked like a beggar.
Now, not only does she have fair skin and a graceful figure, she is like a completely different person. She even wants to strangle her to death.
Chen Ruolan gnashed her teeth in hatred, and saw Old Lady Chen enter the yard with her mouth wide open.
She hurriedly put on her shoes and went downstairs. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the conversation between the old couple clearly.
He rolled his eyes with disdain, what a perverted old man, he still wants to do that at his age, isn't he ashamed?
Just as I was about to turn around and go back to the house, I heard Mrs. Chen say that there was something very good. I was immediately delighted and quickly adjusted my facial expression and walked into the house with a smile.
"Grandma, tell me quickly, what's the good news? Could it be that you learned how to make sugar?"
Old Mrs. Chen smiled and shook her head, "Why make candy? That's hard work and tiring, how much money can you make?
To tell you the truth, our family is going to make a fortune!"
Seeing her talking nonsense, Old Man Chen was angry and said unhappily, "Can you please speak properly? What's going on?"
"Yes, grandma, please tell me quickly, why is our family going to get rich?" Chen Ruolan also kept urging.
Old Mrs. Chen cleared her throat and slowly recounted the events surrounding her encounter with Zhao the Matchmaker. Then, with a look of excitement, she said,
"This is two hundred and fifty taels of silver. If we can get it, our family's hard times will be over."
Old man Chen couldn't help but frown. This old woman was really crazy about money.
Why didn't you think before you spoke? You agreed to this marriage right away.
I forgot about the last time I acted like a fool. Why are you trying to act like a demon again now?
Mr. Fan is even worse than the butcher Li who kills pigs. If he messes things up, the Fan family will skin them alive.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
No, he still wants to live a few more years, so he can't let her do whatever she wants.
"Old woman, please wake up quickly and stop dreaming, okay? You should know what our relationship with the boss's family is like without me telling you, but how could you agree to this marriage so easily?
Mr. Fan is not someone that common people like us can afford to offend. Let's not bother with this. Go after Matchmaker Zhao and tell her that you were blinded by greed and were talking nonsense. Go and get rid of this matter."
Old Mrs. Chen was so angry that her ribs ached. She couldn't help but curse, "You brainless old man, who are you calling bullshit? I think you've just got a brain. You don't want the wealth right in front of you, and you actually want me to turn such a good thing down. Are you stupid? Are you stupid?"
"Why am I so stupid? Think about it carefully. Zhanshan won't listen to you at all, and that damn girl is even less likely to let you manipulate her. Just based on this, how can you have the confidence to force Qing girl to marry whoever you say? This is just wishful thinking!"
"You're such a fool! If they don't agree, can't we use our brains? A living person can be killed by holding their urine. There must be a way."
"You said it so easily, what can we do? You agreed so readily. If this marriage doesn't go through, given Mr. Fan's character, our family will have a hard time in the future."
"Look at your achievements. Do you know what it means to seek wealth and honor through risk? Two hundred and fifty taels of silver, that's a lot of money! How can you do this without pushing yourself and taking risks?"
Old Mrs. Chen's face darkened as she raised her hand and pointed at Old Man Chen.
"You are a coward who is afraid of being hit on the head by falling leaves. You will never have money in your life. If I were not in our family, people like you would have to beg for food."
Old Man Chen was so embarrassed by the nagging that he couldn't help but retort, "I think you're obsessed with money. You only care about two hundred and fifty taels of silver. Don't push your family into a desperate situation. You'll really become an idiot!"
"You damn old man, do you want to piss me off to death? I think you're just itching for trouble." Old Mrs. Chen started cursing and raised her hand to hit him.
At this time, when Chen Ruolan heard that Mr. Fan wanted to take Chen Qingqing as his concubine, she almost laughed out loud with joy, and a twisted joy instantly burst out in her heart.
As long as that damn girl becomes a concubine, she will become a man's plaything and will never be able to turn her life around...
He imagined that Chen Qingqing was tortured in the Fan family, bullied by the legal wife, despised by the rich man Fan, and became a laughing stock for everyone.
She was already eagerly waiting for all this to come true. She wanted to see Chen Qingqing's despair and pain with her own eyes...
Seeing that Old Lady Chen was about to attack, Chen Ruolan instantly came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Grandma, what are you doing? Why are you going to hit my grandfather again?"
"Ruolan, you heard everything just now. This isn't my fault. It's your grandfather who deserves a beating!"
"What I said is all true. Why did you hit me?" Old man Chen had a tough attitude and was not going to give in.
Chen Ruolan shook her head and sighed, "Grandpa, please stop talking. I think my grandma is right. It's you who seems to be making a fuss."
Old Man Chen was stunned. "Ruolan, what do you mean by that? Do you also think this is possible?"
"That's right, didn't my grandma just say that wealth and honor are achieved through risk? If you want to be rich, you have to take risks." Chen Ruolan's eyes flashed with a sinister look, but it disappeared in an instant. "Grandma, I support you, just give it a try."
"Good granddaughter, I knew you and grandma were of the same mind."
There was a hint of smile on Mrs. Chen's face.
"Ruolan, this is a great opportunity for us to change our fate. As long as we have the money, not only will we not have to worry about your father's tuition, but we'll even have your dowry.
From now on, we'll eat refined rice and flour, fish and meat every day, and we'll feed the leftover bones directly to the dog. We won't have to smash them to make soup anymore. I'll also eat fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast, and buy some Ruyi cakes as snacks when I'm hungry."
Chen Ruolan was amused by her words and laughed, "Grandma, don't worry, as long as I have money, I will take you out to eat."
Old Mrs. Chen smiled from ear to ear. "Great, grandma has lived most of her life and has never been to a restaurant. I must go to a restaurant and have a good meal. I'll have some scrambled eggs and some cold shredded potatoes. I'll have a good meal."
