Chapter 9 Accompanying Mom for a Lifetime
Chen's eldest aunt's 28-inch bicycle was tied to the trunk of Wang's four-wheeled vehicle.
Chen Juncai was incredibly arrogant. He got out of the car, head held high, carrying a bag of money, and headed straight for them, slamming the bag down on the table!
"Here you go! It's just 2,000 yuan. I can get it in half a day. After that, our two families will have nothing to do with each other. Liu Jianxin, do you know what you've missed? You've missed an opportunity for even greater wealth."
Wang Meimei from the county town and I are just good friends. It's not what you think. She lent me this money, and she also invested in me. You and I are destined to never be together again!
I hope you won't regret it later, and don't come crying to me; I won't pay any attention to you.
Zhao Fengxiu quickly stepped forward, grabbed the bag, and saw that it was full of money. Too lazy to listen to his rambling nonsense, she said directly, "It's okay! There will be no future for us. Take care of yourselves."
"Building hearts, building achievements, and building success, along with Jianli, let's go!"
Under the watchful eyes of the Chen family, they left without warning.
Chen's parents were stunned to find that Chen Juncai had actually managed to get 2,000 yuan from Wang Meimei.
She's a rich girl from the county town! If you can get that much money, what kind of price will you have to pay?
On the one hand, they were happy that their son had married such a wonderful young lady, but on the other hand, they were worried. They had mixed feelings.
Meanwhile, Aunt Chen was still trying to call out, "Little sister, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Have dinner first..."
Zhao Fengxiu interrupted her with a spitting sound, "Who's your little sister? Don't try to claim any connection!"
She was really annoyed by all the calling her "little sister" all afternoon, and she didn't know how to argue back, but now she had the money.
Given the character of Chen Juncai's family, how good can Chen's relatives be?
Zhao Fengxiu led her children quickly toward the oil pressing shop; they had a very fruitful day.
They brought their eldest daughter home, received an apology, compensation, and a confession from the Chen family.
East Street, Tianping Town.
There's a peanut oil shop here, using simple and honest methods. It's the only shop in the two or three towns nearby that produces high-quality and delicious oil, attracting a steady stream of customers and generating good profits.
Liu Shiping first took his two sons and one daughter home. His eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Jingyi, was guarding the shop and secretly stuffed a lot of money into her own pocket.
She and her three children were the only ones in the family who didn't go to the banquet. They were thinking that Liu Jianguo would bring back a bag or two of good food for the children, but they didn't expect that each of them would bring back three or four bags!
The three children were overjoyed and danced around Liu Jianguo.
Lin Jingyi, out of curiosity, inquired about the reason and was shocked.
The whole family was waiting for Zhao Fengxiu and the others to come back, to see if they could get 2,000 yuan, which was a considerable sum!
As darkness fell, Zhao Fengxiu returned with her two sons and two daughters.
When they entered, Zhao Fengxiu had a sour look on her face, so Liu Jianguo didn't want to ask her directly. He exchanged glances with the twin brothers, Liu Jiancheng, and when he saw them nod, Liu Jianguo and his wife were suddenly shocked!
Liu Jiancheng was overjoyed the whole way, now that he could marry Li Mengfei!
The whole family had their own ulterior motives, each thinking they could get a share of the money.
Zhao Fengxiu had just sat down to drink a glass of water and catch her breath, ignoring the stares of her children.
In the somber atmosphere, the children exchanged glances and communicated with each other, none of them wanting to be the first to speak.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Lin Jingyi, gave Liu Jianguo a meaningful look. He hesitated, recalling the scene at the banquet, but unable to resist his wife's request, he finally said, "Mom, what are you planning to do with this money today...?"
Before Liu Jianguo could finish speaking, Zhao Fengxiu slammed her water glass down on the table with a loud thud!
Zhao Fengxiu asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Jingyi chimed in, "Mom, does Jianguo mean that now that we've got the 2,000 yuan, shouldn't we make some arrangements?"
Zhao Fengxiu said, "Arrange what? What do you mean, arrange what! Is this money yours? How dare you covet it? I just walked in, I haven't even finished a glass of water, and you're already in such a hurry? I'm not dead yet!"
Lin Jingyi was stunned. Liu Jianguo continued, "Mom, since the Chen family is willing to give money, and since my eldest sister won't get married in the future and won't spend much money, why not give it to our family? We need money for our three children! Zhenghong will be starting school soon too."
Autumn is almost here, shouldn't we get one or two sets of autumn clothes for your three grandchildren?
Zhao Fengxiu suddenly stood up and angrily said, "Mom, Mom, all you know how to do is call me Mom! I'm not your mother! Don't even think about getting any of this money! You won't get a share!"
I just got back, barely sat down, and you're already thinking about dividing the money! How much money did you guys earn at home? I haven't even eaten yet, and I can see you've all been eyeing the food! You all have shifty eyes and no sense of propriety at all!
Seeing your eldest sister suffer, you're the most humiliated of all! Your butt's glued to the chair! Even Wangcai at the door is more capable than you; he wags his tail at me as soon as I walked in! What a waste of your resources! Not a single word of concern when I come back!
Jianxin, come inside with me for a moment. You guys go do whatever you need to do!
Zhao Fengxiu pulled Liu Jianxin into the house and slammed the door shut, leaving everyone present with a series of question marks.
Liu Jianbang asked curiously, "What's wrong with Mom today? She's acting like she's been shot."
Liu Jianguo shook his head, and Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong also waved their hands, "Who knows!"
Lin Jingyi said, "None of you here know, and I know even less. Never mind, we'll talk about it at dinner later. I can't get away with it."
Liu Jiancheng said, "Second sister-in-law, Mom already told you not to worry about this money. What are you still thinking about? I'm waiting to marry Li Mengfei."
Liu Jianmei said, "Don't even think about it. I'm waiting to sign up for dance lessons. If I get selected to perform on stage, I'll become famous!"
Liu Jianbang said, "If you all want them, then I want them too!"
The children chattered amongst themselves about how to divide the money, while Liu Jianli watched silently. Liu Shiping, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look in the direction of that room.
Inside the house.
Zhao Fengxiu took out the money, counted it, and put it in Liu Jianxin's hand, which stunned her.
Liu Jian thought to himself, "Mom, I can't take this money! My younger siblings are all waiting for it..."
“Take this! This money is yours. Your mother got it for you. You’ve suffered so much these past years. That toad from the Chen family will never have a chance to take you again. This money is your compensation for your lost youth and emotional distress!” Zhao Fengxiu said.
Liu Jianxin lowered his head, his voice choked with emotion, and said, "I'm sorry, Mom... and thank you! If it weren't for you today, I would have been kept in the dark by the Chen family!"
As he spoke, tears streamed down Liu Jianxin's face, dripping onto the money in his arms.
Zhao Fengxiu hugged her tenderly and patted her back gently. "Don't be sad. You should be happy! You're away from that scumbag family! Whether you marry or not is up to you. Mom will support you."
Liu Jianxin cried, "Mom, sob sob! I'll never get married! I'll stay with you for the rest of my life!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you silly girl..."
