Grandma He's furious expression froze on her face. After a moment of calm, she spoke with a ferocious grin, "I didn't say anything wrong. You did such a shameful thing, and you even harmed your sister. What will others think of the He family?"
"What do you think? Just lie there and watch. It's my business how I make money. What does it have to do with me if others are envious? Am I going to stop them from making money?"
He Nian raised her voice, filled with anger, "You are my grandmother, and the blood relationship cannot be separated. I am willing to contribute money to support you because of our deceased parents. How am I being unfilial?"
The He family members awkwardly shut their mouths, not daring to meet He Nian's eyes.
He Nian snorted coldly, "If you're so unfilial, why don't your second and fourth uncles say anything? Why don't your third and fifth aunts say anything about your married daughters? Why are you targeting our family? Have you ever thought about me? I'm only fifteen, and I still have two younger children to support!"
The second uncle is honest, but with the second aunt watching over him, he isn't as blindly filial as the original owner's father. The third uncle is sweet-talking and the youngest, so Grandma He and Grandpa He dote on him the most.
She can't do any work at home, and she always finds excuses to ask for money to spend on a life of debauchery. Not to mention her two married aunts, it's already a miracle that they haven't drained their own families to subsidize their husbands' families, let alone supporting these two people.
"I'm making this clear today: one or two taels a month, no more. If you upset me, I won't give you a single penny!"
"You...you!"
Grandpa He had never been so dignified before, and he raised his cane to strike He Nian.
He Nian subconsciously closed her eyes, but the expected pain did not come. He Nian slowly opened her eyes and saw Gong Yu, dressed in black and gold, blocking her way.
Looking at Gong Yu's tall figure, He Nian thought she was hallucinating. Her first thought was that it was a good thing the jade pendant hadn't been sold yet, otherwise where would she find it to return it to its owner?
What do you want to do?
Gong Yu's noble aura made the He family shrink back, and Grandpa He's hand trembled as he loosened his cane.
"Young Master Gong, please wait for me."
This voice is especially familiar.
Especially the people of Dahe Village, when the He family looked back, they saw the round-bellied Lord Chen running towards them, panting heavily.
“Young Master Gong, you could have just told me what you needed, why did you have to come here in person?”
Lord Chen, without even wiping the sweat from his brow, respectfully bowed to Gong Yu.
The He family was terrified. How could this man be treated like this by Lord Chen?
Gong Yu tossed aside his cane, his expression icy, and looked calmly at the fawning Lord Chen with lowered eyelids. "You're coming over? At your speed, how many years would it take you to get here?"
Lord Chen knew that Gong Yu was exaggerating, but he didn't dare to refute it. Who would have thought that such a remote and impoverished place could attract a prince?
"Since you want to handle it, then you handle it."
Gong Yu handed the He family over to Lord Chen, then turned to He Nian with a respectful distance, "Miss He, may I have a few words with you here alone?"
"good."
He Nian glanced at the terrified He family members, then looked away and followed behind Gong Yu, completely disregarding how Lord Chen would handle the situation.
However, given Lord Chen's personality, it's highly likely he won't bypass the He family; there's a small chance he's afraid the He family knows him and won't dare to make a move.
"This is for the money you paid for taking care of me before. To repay you, I bought you several properties, one of which is in town, where you can live."
As Gong Yu spoke, he took out several property lists and handed them to He Nian.
He Nian, who suddenly became rich, had a lot to say but couldn't explain it all. "I'll just take what's rightfully mine. I don't want the rest that's too valuable."
