Chapter 463: New Year Greetings to Secretary Zhao
Yang Wenyuan was getting anxious and ran after him, shouting, "Uncle! Don't be fooled by these two! Aren't they just pretending to be nice to you because you have money? Once they cheat all the money from our Yang family, they will leave you alone! Uncle! I am your nephew after all!"
Yang Qiushi was furious after hearing this. He had been polite enough, but this bastard was really shameless!
Yang Qiushi turned around and said coldly, "Why did your father give birth to such a shameless dog like you? Get out of here now! If you don't, I will take back those stores in Shanghai!"
Yang Wenyuan saw that the other stores had not been taken away yet, and the stores in Shanghai were also going to be taken back. How could he dare to make trouble again? He ran away in shame.
However, before leaving, the couple still glared at Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan fiercely.
After leaving the courtyard, Yang Wenyuan's wife said unconvincedly: "Are we just going to let it go? Look at such a big house. I think it has three entrances. It's worth at least tens of thousands of yuan! I guess it was bought with your uncle's money! Are we really going to let outsiders take it over like this?"
Yang Wenyuan's face turned ashen, he said with a pah sound, "You wish! Just wait and see! The old man probably won't live for many more years! We'll come back after he dies! To be honest, this pharmacy is the property of the Yang family! I don't believe that the old man dares to give the ancestral property of the Yang family to outsiders. He will have the nerve to face our ancestors when he dies! By then, we will definitely take back everything, including the courtyard!"
After talking, the two of them went back to Shanghai angrily.
Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan sent Yang Qiushi back to his room. Shen Wanxue and Rong Zhenbang also came over and tried to persuade him not to take it to heart.
Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan returned to their rooms, and Li Zhan said, "I think these two won't let this go, they will definitely come again."
Xia Juanjuan teased Jiaojiao and said with a smile: "Let them come. We will stop them when they come and cover them with earth when they come. We will have no regrets."
Li Zhan nodded and said with a smile, "That's right."
The Chinese New Year is always a lively and festive time. The year before last, the Fu family had two new members - Fu Nanzheng's daughter and Jiaojiao. Therefore, the reunion dinner at the Fu family on the second day of the Chinese New Year was even more lively. Grandpa Fu and Fu Weixin were very pleased to see the four generations of the family reunited under the same roof.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to Li Jie's house, Fu Nanzheng's house, and Qi Jia'an's house to pay New Year's greetings. Fu Nanzheng, Li Jie, and Dahei's family also returned the gifts.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Juanjuan went back to the county town to give gifts to Lie Zhan's elder sister and Lie Zhaodi's family, so she said she wanted to go back to Qingshui Village.
When they were in Qingshui Village, Secretary Zhao took good care of their family. Now Secretary Zhao is getting older, so Xia Juanjuan wants to go and pay New Year's greetings and see him.
Li Zhan naturally agreed. Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru hadn't been back to the village for a long time, so they went back together.
The two of them held Jiaojiao, together with Xia Shuangshan and Lin Yuru, and did not bring Xiaowen, Xiaowu, Beibei, or the triplets, and took the train back to the county town. They first delivered the gifts to Li Zhaodi's home.
Li Zhaodi and her husband are now helping Li Jie and Zhou Qiuhe to open a store. However, Li Jie and Zhou Qiuhe later gave them 20% of the shares, which are eligible for year-end dividends. Therefore, they have now moved their family to the county town.
Chunyan returned home before the New Year. When she saw Lizhan and Xia Juanjuan coming, she came out happily to greet them.
Jiaojiao also knew her, and when she saw her she smiled and asked her to hug her.
Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan talked to Li Zhaodi for a long time. After giving red envelopes to all the children, they returned to Qingshui Village without eating.
Secretary Zhao was so happy to see them come back that he couldn't stop smiling.
Secretary Zhao's hair has now turned completely white and he has lost a lot of teeth. He looks very old, but he is still in good spirits.
He has retired from his position as secretary, and now every day he goes to the village primary school to watch the children studying, or goes to the back mountain to see the medicinal herbs planted.
"The secretary now is Xiao Peng. This kid has a conscience. After graduating from university, he couldn't let go of the village school, so he took the initiative to give up the assignment and returned to the village. He is also the principal of the school! But... his wife wanted to stay in the city, and the two quarreled a few times, so his wife divorced him. Alas... Xiao Peng is a child who has made great sacrifices."
After hearing this, Li Zhan and Xia Juanjuan also felt admiration in their hearts.
Apart from other things, Xia Juanjuan couldn't show the spirit of selfless dedication by returning to the village to become a private teacher after finally being admitted to university.
Xia Juanjuan said, "Secretary Zhao, Li Zhan and I have made some money doing business in Beijing. I will contribute some money to renovate our school and buy some new books."
Secretary Zhao waved his hands and said, "It's not easy for you to make money. Besides, the old Yang family's medicine shop now buys all the medicinal herbs grown in the village every year. The people in the village have become much richer. Don't worry about it!"
Xia Juanjuan smiled and said, "Secretary Zhao, I'm not worrying about nothing. After all, it's a good future for the children in our village to go to school and get into college. Please let me do my best."
Secretary Zhao smiled and said, "If that's what you said, then I won't refuse on my own initiative. You and Li Zhan are both great!"
