Of course, Zhao Cuifen wouldn't tell Old Man Zhao and the others these things. She just kept repeating that there was so much food, big fish and meat, fine rice and flour, all good stuff, so much that they couldn't finish it all. Even if the whole Zhao family were together, they still couldn't finish it all.
This made the old couple in the Zhao family so envious and jealous that their eyes widened like copper bells, and they were panting heavily, itching for those things.
Seeing their reaction, Zhao Cuifen felt the time was right and said softly, "These things are actually meant for Yun Duo. Although they are Yun Duo's grandparents and these things are meant for them, you are Yun Duo's maternal grandparents, so you should have a share too."
"If we're not saying half, it's at least a tenth..."
As she spoke, she let out a small sigh, then added, "There's nothing we can do; the clouds have been completely surrounded by them."
"However, if I really divorce Yun Youliang and the 'government' awards Yun Duo to me, then all those things will belong to our Zhao family."
"What a pity... Yun Youliang will definitely not agree."
"He has no choice but to agree!" Old Zhao slammed his hand on the table and said emphatically.
"Dad, don't be impulsive. If you suffer because of me, I won't feel at ease even if I take Yunduo back to my parents' house," Zhao Cuifen said, feigning concern.
Old Zhao waved his hand dismissively and said, "What's there to worry about? This is your mother's home. Just stay here comfortably."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Besides, I'm not a three-year-old, I definitely won't act impulsively."
"It's just a few dozen kilograms of grain. Let's appease Yun Youliang first. Once we've won over Yun Duo, what good things won't we have?"
Knowing that the grain was mostly in their hands, Zhao Cuifen smiled from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't show it much on her face. She just nodded in agreement and said, "Isn't that just what my dad said? As long as we get Duo'er into our hands, what does grain matter? We can eat meat and be full every day."
"And it's not just about eating meat. That girl Yun Duo is good at making money. Yun Dazheng himself has said that they made so much money thanks to Yun Duo. When you, Mom and Dad, have some money in your pocket, you can buy the whole family a few new outfits every year. Who wouldn't thank you?"
"And then there's Da Long and Xiao Hu, shouldn't they be talking about wives? As long as the family is rich, there are plenty of good girls who can bear children, they'll be lining up to choose from. I'm just afraid that when the time comes, they'll be overwhelmed with choices and won't know which one to pick."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Old Zhao shook his head disapprovingly, and said in a fake 'reprimand' tone, "Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by elders. How can they be allowed to pick and choose?" As soon as he said this, Old Zhao's face almost blossomed into a smile.
Old Zhao has worked hard all his life, and now that he's old, he's finally going to have a good life.
Thinking of this, Old Zhao felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He immediately waved his hand and said with great enthusiasm, "Old woman, that's half. Go pack twenty or thirty catties of grain, and half a catty of the brown sugar packet that Cuifen's sister-in-law brought back from her parents' home last time. Pick up ten eggs, and we'll take our daughter home in a little while!"
Although Old Mrs. Zhao was captivated by the scene described by Zhao Cuifen, when it came to actually taking out the item, she felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out, and she was in excruciating pain.
