"Mom, mom, this is great news."
Niu Fang ran to the Gu family's old house in a hurry and saw Zhao Hong tending to the young vegetable seedlings in the yard. She stepped over the field without a care and trampled the tender seedlings to pieces.
"It's already this late and you're here to take care of the seedlings. Your second brother is going to get rich, and he'll take us out to eat delicious food. Why will we need you to work?" Niu Fang's eyes were shining, and there was no longer the disdain and disgust she had when she looked at Zhao Hong and Gu Xia Shi in previous years. She looked very affectionate towards the old lady, as if the unruly and aggressive daughter-in-law was not her anymore.
"What kind of wealth can we make? We in the Gu family are down-to-earth in our work and life. We are just honest farmers. How can we make wealth?" Zhao Hong shook off the hand of her eldest daughter-in-law, feeling sorry for the vegetable seedlings that were trampled by her.
Niu Fang's hand was shaken off and she was about to get angry, but then she thought of the God of Wealth who was about to arrive and swallowed back her anger.
"Mom, you don't know that the old drunkard our little brother buried back then, his daughter has come back, and she's made a fortune, driving several cars, and bringing a large group of people with her. Our village chief is even smiling apologetically."
Niu Fang was just strolling around the village at the time, looking for those equally gossipy village women gossiping about all sorts of things. She happened to see those cars driving in. Naturally, they would not miss such big news and followed them immediately.
When Jin Yayan was talking to the village chief and others, she didn't try to avoid them, so people outside the house could hear them clearly.
"My second brother helped the old man collect the body. That was a great favor. If it weren't for my second brother, I'm afraid her father would have become a wandering ghost. Now that the girl is back, shouldn't you give me some benefits? We don't want too much, but 200,000 should be enough."
Niu Fang's eyes were full of calculation. He was a big boss from Gangcheng. Two hundred thousand was a big number for them, the country people, but it was just a drop in the bucket for the big boss.
"Two hundred thousand! I think you have lost your mind."
When Zhao Hong heard that the old drunkard's daughter had returned, a dark light flashed in her eyes. Then, when she heard her eldest daughter-in-law's huge demands, she was no longer in the mood to care about the woman who had disappeared for decades. She looked at Niu Fang as if she were a fool, thinking that she was just dreaming.
There isn't even a person with an annual income of 10,000 yuan in their village now, but she's asking for 200,000 yuan right away. I never realized that this daughter-in-law had such a big appetite.
"Mom, what's wrong with us asking her for 200,000 yuan? Don't you think about it? Dajin is so old now. If he doesn't have the three major items, who would be willing to marry their daughter to him? Especially since Dajin is such an outstanding child, he can't marry those children from ordinary families." Niu Fang counted on her fingers, "We have to build a new house for Dajin, a small two-story house like those in the county town, it has to be big and spacious, and we have to buy the TV and refrigerator that the people in the city have. How much money do you think this is? And Dajin said that the work in the fields is too tiring, and he wants to open a store in the county town, which also requires capital. We and that woman want 200,000 yuan, which is not too much."
Niu Fang was talking excitedly, spitting everywhere. Zhao Hong frowned and took a few steps back to avoid her saliva attack.
"Da Jin is your son, and he has nothing to do with Shitou. So you, as parents, are just letting Shitou, as an uncle, help your son get married and build a house. Your dream is too beautiful."
Zhao Hong had completely given up on her eldest son's family. Dakin's grandson was of the same character as his mother. Even though the old lady had loved her only grandson at the beginning, she had long been worn out by his excessive behavior.
What her son said is right. There is really not such a big difference between grandsons and granddaughters. If the grandson is not filial, then be nicer to the grandsons. Xiaobao and Dani are both good people and know how to be grateful. When she is gone in the future, the children will take good care of their uncle Shitou, and she won't have to worry about her son.
"Mom, what are you saying?" Niu Fang's smile was a little weak. "My second brother doesn't have a son, so he will have to rely on us Dajin for his old age. If he doesn't treat Dajin well now, he might not even have anyone to slam the pot on in the future. When he goes to the underworld, even the King of Hell won't accept him."
In Niu Fang's eyes, everything in the Gu family belongs to her son, especially the second uncle Gu Xiashi, who never does anything and never makes money. In the future, he will have to rely on her son for retirement. So Niu Fang covets the house in the old house while avoiding Gu Xiashi. But now it's different. Gu Xiashi hooks up with a rich man, so Niu Fang is naturally happy to let her son get closer to him.
In Niu Fang's view, her son had made great sacrifices, so what if Gu Xiashi gave him some money? He was still getting a great deal.
"Don't bother your precious son with the pot-breaking matter. Even if Shitou doesn't have a son in this life, he still has nephews and nieces. It will never be your son's turn."
Zhao Hong rolled her eyes, picked up the hoe beside her, and planned to dig out the trampled vegetables and plant some seedlings in before it was too late.
"Why can't you tell good from bad? The Jiang family is from another family, and they are so kind to my second brother. Be careful that they may not give away the money. Our Da Jin is different. Even if we break bones, we still have tendons. If he has a promising future, it will be a glory for our Gu family."
Niu Fang gritted her teeth, really wanting to tear the face of the old woman in front of her. This old woman only knew how to favor the idiot Gu Dongmei, and she didn't know what kind of drug the family had given to the young and old. The good things had always been theirs, but they were all taken away by the Jiang family.
"I'm willing to let the person I like take my things away. As for your son, I don't want him to stay around even if he gives me money." Gu Xiashi came in with a cold face, holding two fish he had just caught from the river today.
"Hey, second brother, you're back. Did you see the group of people coming to our village on your way here just now? The daughter of the old drunkard you buried that year is back. She said she wanted to repay her gratitude. Now that you've made a fortune, don't forget me, your eldest brother, and your nephew Dakin." Niu Fang automatically ignored what Gu Xiashi had just said and tried to make friends with him.
"Don't say that I won't ask others for money. Even if they do, I would rather feed it all to the dogs than give you a single cent." Gu Xia Shi had nothing to say to his sister-in-law Niu Fang. "Anything else? If not, get out. This is my house. It was given to me when the family was divided. Your house is over there." Gu Xia Shi pointed in the direction of Niu Fang's house and said with a cold face.
"Gu Xiashi, who are you talking to? I'm your sister-in-law."
Niu Fang couldn't hold back her smile anymore and pointed at Gu Xiashi's face angrily.
"I don't have a sister-in-law like you, nor a cowardly brother like Gu Chunhui. I'm saying this, get as far away from me as possible. If you bother my mother again, I'll beat a woman." Gu Xia Shi has been in a bad mood these days, and Niu Fang has walked into trouble.
"This is how you, the Gu family, bully people. Okay, okay, okay, just wait for me. This matter is not over yet." Niu Fang pointed at Gu Xiashi and then at Zhao Hong who was standing silently by the side. If she had known that she should have brought that idiot Gu Chunhui and his son with her today, otherwise she would not have been bullied by these two bitches.
Niu Fang gritted her teeth and made a harsh remark. Seeing Gu Xiashi impatiently picking up the firewood stick beside her, she was immediately frightened and ran out of the house with her tail between her legs.
"Ms. Jin."
Niu Fang had just walked out of the house when she met Jin Yayan and her group. When Gu Xiashi heard this, he was stunned and turned away stiffly.
Zhao Hong looked at her son, then at the woman walking towards her from a distance, and sighed in her heart.
It’s all bad fate!
"Ms. Jin, you don't know, when your father was buried, besides my second brother, my husband also helped. At that time, my second brother was still young and in poor health. How could he do such strenuous work? In fact, the burial of the old man was almost entirely handled by my husband. If you want to express your gratitude, don't thank the wrong person." Niu Fang wanted to get closer to Jin Yayan to talk, but was stopped by the bodyguard standing behind her.
"Come on, when Shitou wanted to bury the old man, he did ask Chunhui for help. At that time, you relied on the fact that you gave birth to a son for the Gu family and made a fuss to eat the chickens and eggs. Chunhui was working hard in the fields and had no time to help Shitou. If he had gone, he would have been eaten by you."
The villagers who sent Jin Yayan here did not hesitate to expose Niu Fang's true colors. They said that the rich girl came here just to pick peaches. There was no such good thing. When old man Jin died, only Shitou was willing to help the old man with the funeral. After all, the Jin family was an outsider and had no relatives or friends in the village. At that time, every household was tightening their belts to make ends meet. How could they have the time to spare? The person who led the way also felt a little regretful. If he had helped at the beginning, would he have carried half of the bags carried by the bodyguards?
"You were lying under my bed, how do you know that Chunhui didn't help?" Niu Fang glared at the villager who led the way, with her hands on her hips, and cursed, "You are so nosy——"
"Throw her out." Jin Yayan could see that Gu Xiashi didn't like this woman who seemed to be his sister-in-law in name, and gave the order to the bodyguard behind her without any politeness. Before Niu Fang could finish her words, she was grabbed by the collar by the black-clad bodyguard behind her and taken a dozen steps outside the house.
Niu Fang was about to make a scene, but the bodyguard spread his legs slightly, rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong muscles, and stared coldly into Niu Fang's eyes. She felt like a dead person in his eyes.
It was so horrible that Niu Fang was so frightened that her legs almost went limp and she stumbled away.
"You are Xiaoya, I still remember you."
Zhao Hong watched the annoying eldest daughter-in-law leave, looked at her motionless youngest son, and walked up to him and said, "So many years have passed, and you are more beautiful than before."
"Aunt Hong, I came here just to repair my father's grave, and also to thank Shitou for taking care of my father all those years." Jin Yayan still remembered this fierce aunt. Her father was drunk all year round, and she had never done any housework. Sometimes she was hungry, and it was the old woman in front of her who was kind-hearted and gave her some food. Of course, after Jin's father sobered up, he would also make up for the ration she had eaten.
"Come in and sit down. Don't stand outside the room. I'll get you a glass of water. It's not good tea, so please don't dislike it." Zhao Hong called out and pulled her silly son's sleeve. Gu Xia Shi seemed to have come back to his senses.
"Auntie Hong, don't be so polite, just boiled water will do. By the way, where are my sister-in-law and the children? Aren't they at home?" Jin Yayan asked the bodyguard to go outside to guard after putting the gifts down, and she stayed in the room with them alone. She looked around and didn't seem to see anyone else at home.
"Sister-in-law? Child?" Zhao Hong was a little puzzled. Gu Xiashi listened to Jin Yayan's curiosity and regretted his confused answer at that time.
"Grandma, uncle, Miss Jin."
When Jiang Yi stayed outside the house and saw the familiar group of bodyguards, he knew that it was Jin Yayan who came. He guessed correctly that the other party really had a close relationship with his uncle.
"Mr. Jiang." Jin Yayan stood up, looked at Jiang Yilu, and then at Gu Xiashi.
"My uncle hasn't married yet. There are only my grandma and my uncle at home." Jiang Yilu heard Jin Yayan's question just now and simply answered for his cowardly uncle.
Jin Yayan looked at Gu Xiashi in surprise.
He has never married, is it because of her?
