Chapter 161 I'll Burn You After You Die
When Old Lady Zhao heard this, she was utterly astonished.
How can someone be so shameless!
Aunt Ruan was surprisingly calm, turned around and left, not wanting to waste her breath saying another word.
Her indifferent demeanor displeased Lao Gao.
"Give me a straight answer! Our son isn't just mine. He can't possibly want to buy a house and you won't contribute a single penny, can you?"
He had previously heard from Gao Wen that Aunt Ruan had gained hundreds of thousands of followers online by piggybacking on Yan Sui's popularity.
She also took on several advertising jobs, which earned her a lot of money.
Old Gao was already somewhat regretful. Although living in the city was respectable, it wasn't comfortable.
Gao Wen and his wife both have jobs, and he is busy at home taking care of everything, from laundry and cooking to picking up and dropping off the children. It's not as comfortable as living in the countryside.
“How about this, let’s just consider the divorce over. You give the money to our son, and I’ll go back to the countryside and live with you.”
Aunt Ruan: "..."
In the past, she felt more anger and resentment when facing Lao Gao, but now she is left speechless.
"You mean I should take out all my money and give it to that unfilial son I raised with such difficulty who's complaining about not taking care of me in my old age, and then bring you back from the city to be treated like royalty? You're really dreaming! When you die, I'll burn your ashes and have as many people serve you as you want!"
Old Gao was so speechless that his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth.
"Why are you talking so rudely! What do you mean by 'serving'? What woman doesn't do these things? Everyone goes through this! You can't expect a grown man like me to do these things, it's so embarrassing!"
"Pah!" Aunt Ruan spat in his face. "Divorcing you was the best decision I've ever made in my life! Get out! There's no house for you in Changqing Village anymore. You want to come back and live here? No way!"
Aunt Ruan pushed Lao Gao aside and called to Old Lady Zhao to leave.
Old Gao was so angry he fell backward and started cursing at her retreating figure.
He got into the car angrily, saying, "I already told you your mom wouldn't agree, I'm not coming next time!"
Gao Wen looked impatient; he hadn't expected Aunt Ruan to be so ruthless.
"Then what about my house purchase?"
Old Gao's face darkened. "Go find your wife and get that 300,000 yuan back from her family!"
Gao Wen was furious; the 300,000 yuan was still safely in his pocket, and he hadn't given it away at all.
The reason for this whole charade was simply to trick Aunt Ruan into handing over more money.
“Even if I take out that 300,000, it won’t be enough to buy a house! I’ve already inquired about it, and that amount isn’t even enough for a down payment. Even if I could, I wouldn’t be able to afford the monthly mortgage payments.”
Old Gao choked, "Then why didn't you say so in the first place!"
I told you, he wouldn't have taken the money out.
Gao Wen snorted coldly. If he told his father, would he still be able to get money from his stingy father?
"Dad, isn't there still several dozen acres of land between the two orchards that Yan Sui has taken over?"
Old Gao nodded. "That belongs to your second great-uncle's family."
However, Gao Wen's second great-uncle's family has been living abroad for many years.
Every year, they would send Lao Gao a small sum of money to help look after his hometown.
Gao Wen's eyes gleamed, and he suddenly had an idea.
"Dad, I heard that Yan Sui is having someone contact Second Uncle to contract this mountain land."
This is because the location of this piece of land is really awkward, right between her two orchards.
Only by contracting it out can we connect the whole area.
Lao Gao was naturally aware of this matter, since Yan Shunzhong had previously asked him to make the contact.
However, he resented Yan Sui for stirring up trouble in his family, which caused him to get divorced in his old age, so he kept putting things off.
What do you want to do?
Gao Wen couldn't hide his excitement, "Yan Sui's peaches sell for a really high price online! I heard that her orchard has a good yield, with a yield of over 4,000 jin per mu!"
Yan Liang has owned this orchard for so many years, but he hasn't made a single penny and has actually lost a lot of money.
But when he did the math, he realized that Yan Sui had only just taken over the orchard and had earned at least a million yuan so far.
"Dad, if we take over Second Uncle's land and grow peaches, we can earn just as much money!"
Old Gao looked troubled. "But Yan Sui has her eye on that place for a long time. Secretary Yan has urged me several times to contact your second uncle."
He was just being coy, which is why he delayed for a while, but he will eventually have to help.
After all, he's the Party Secretary of Changqing Village; we have to give him this much face.
"Dad! Are you confused? You're giving them face, but when has Yan Sui ever given us face?"
Old Gao was persuaded by him, but growing peaches is not something that can be done just by talking.
Yan Sui also benefited from this, getting a ready-made orchard.
If she had started from scratch, she might not have been able to make money so quickly.
"Have you thought this through? If you really want to contract this land, I can contact your second uncle and take it over, but that would offend the Yan family to death."
Gao Wen snorted, "So what if they offend me? I'm not asking them for anything."
Old Gao nodded. He only had one son, so he definitely had to help him.
"But growing peaches also requires investment costs. Do you still have the money to buy peach trees?"
Gao Wen's face stiffened. "Dad, I might need your help to come up with a solution. You have quite a few friends, so could you lend me some money?"
Old Gao fell silent, his heart filled with worry as he thought about his empty wallet.
At this moment, Yan Sui was completely unaware that the piece of land she wanted was about to be snatched away by someone else.
She's been trending on social media all night; it's time for her to respond.
Her response was simple: "My orchard is not currently cooperating with any businesses. We've sold 130,000 jin (65 tons) of peaches so far, exclusively through online stores. I suggest @LeWanFresh produce the purchase contract, otherwise I'll call the police."
As soon as Yan Sui spoke up, her fans seemed to have found their pillar of support and flocked to Lewan's account to shout messages.
[Hilarious! You guys don't even know who you bought the peaches from, do you?]
[Trying to ride on Sui Sui's coattails to gain popularity, what a mean company.]
Putting everything else aside, let's first show the purchase contract so we can see where these peaches were bought.
We've all bought peaches from Yan Sui; how could we not know their quality? Before trying to smear someone, shouldn't you at least do some background research?
[Lewan used to have a good reputation, what happened to it now?]
[...]
Yan Suiyi's response caused the popularity to surge again, and she immediately became a trending topic.
Feng Liqun initially acquiesced to Yan Zhendong's actions because this move did indeed generate considerable buzz for Lewan.
The number of fans on various platforms has increased significantly, and the sales revenue from last night's live stream was also considerable.
But Yan Sui's response caught him off guard.
He had considered that Yan Sui would come out to clarify the quality issues of the peaches, and he had also considered that she would avoid the issue and wait for the hype to die down.
But I never expected her to deny the collaboration!
Feng Liqun sneered, "How ridiculous! Let Yan Sui get what she asked for by releasing the procurement contract. If she wants to die, don't blame me for being ruthless."
