Chapter 313: The Color of Greed



As the year-end approached, the farm sent a large batch of freshly harvested vegetables, and according to Su Wenyue's wishes, they were packed in exquisite woven bamboo baskets or exquisite carved wooden frames, which looked very high-end.

Su Hengyi originally wanted to set aside a shop specifically for Su Wenyue to sell these vegetables, but because of the late preparation this year, although there were vegetables planted in several large greenhouses, they were all planted in batches, and the amount that could be picked was not too large. It was more than enough to supply the family with New Year gifts, but it was not enough to sell. Moreover, Su Wenyue did not have the intention to do so for the time being, so the vegetables grown in Su Wenyue’s greenhouse became unsalable. Even if some wealthy families wanted to buy them at a high price, they could not buy them, which made them even more precious.

The extra things Su Wenyue had left were all bought by the Su family. The Su family had many business contacts, and the gifts were just right for giving as New Year gifts, which were both decent and fresh. Su Wenyue originally wanted to give them to her parents' home, but after the previous incident with the greenhouse, Su Hengyi was unwilling to take advantage of Su Wenyue again this time. Now that silver and money had depreciated sharply, he exchanged them for food, medicinal materials, etc. of equivalent value.

Seeing that her elder brother and her mother's family insisted on doing so, Su Wenyue had no choice but to accept it. However, she felt infinite emotion in her heart. After all, her mother's family always cared about her, fearing that she would be unhappy again. She did this because she didn't want the Han family to know and gossip. Although Su Wenyue had already separated from the family, there would still be gossip.

Speaking of the Han family, it's only a few days away from the New Year, and it's time to arrange things in her hometown. Although they said they would come by themselves and she didn't need to worry, she could still do it in a more presentable way. Su Wenyue didn't mind showing off her virtue in front of her in-laws. What's more, Han Yu said that she bought the house, so her going to pick them up would have a different meaning. At least her father-in-law and mother-in-law would feel more at ease when they come to live here.

"Wife, thank you for your hard work. I will remember everything you have done for me." Han Yu knew that his wife had sent people to clean up the yard for the sake of her hometown, and he also went there personally to arrange it. Everything was prepared, just waiting for people to move in, so he said with gratitude.

"You have to remember this well, because I will ask for it back later." Su Wenyue did not pretend to be virtuous, as that would seem too fake. Instead, she nodded and took the opportunity to act coquettishly with Han Yu and ask for favors.

Han Yu loved his wife so much when he saw her like this. If he didn't understand that she had been busy all day, he would really want to "love" this little thing well. Even so, it didn't stop him from asking for some benefits, and the atmosphere in the room became charming.

At this time in the village, Old Man Han and the old couple Yang should have been happily preparing to go to the provincial capital to celebrate the New Year, but bad things happened one after another. That night, Han Lin came back late after playing cards and drinking, and the road was slippery due to the snow, so he accidentally fell and broke his leg.

That’s not all. Wang was too lazy. After Han Lin fell, she didn’t serve him wholeheartedly. Han Lin had a bad temper and was already irritable. He started quarreling with Wang, and he didn’t control the severity of the kick and injured his other leg. That was really tragic.

"It looks like the third brother and his family won't be able to come to the city. But the third brother's wife is in such a condition that she won't be able to take good care of him. I won't feel at ease even if he goes to the city." Yang said worriedly. It was originally a good thing. She had finally convinced the fourth brother to let the third brother and his family go to the city. This was really...

Old Man Han took two puffs of his cigarette and said, "The fourth brother and his wife sincerely invited us to the capital to celebrate the New Year. What's the point of you staying here? The third brother is not a child anymore. Even if the third brother's wife is not reasonable, she can't do anything to the fourth brother. He won't die of hunger. Let them do what they want. Why do you care about what they do?"

"No matter how useless he is, he was born from my belly. How can I really have the heart to do this?" Yang said while wiping her tears

Seeing Yang's expression, Old Man Han sighed, "Don't worry, old lady. It's not a big deal. Before we go, we can go to the neighbors in the village and ask them to look after the third son. As for the third son's wife, you can just say a few words to stop her from having other thoughts. If she dares not to listen, we, the Han family, can't afford such an unfilial and unvirtuous daughter-in-law. We can only give her a divorce letter!"

Old man Han is not Yang, and he would not easily say such words. It seems that he is really disappointed with Wang.

"That's a good idea. I'll go see the third brother and bring some food with me. The third brother and his wife don't know how to live. They squandered all the property they got when the family was divided. I'm afraid they don't even have food for the New Year. Sigh, I don't need to worry about the brothers, but why is the third brother so useless?"

All mothers are like this. Before, Old Man Han and Mrs. Yang almost ignored the third room, but after this incident, although Mrs. Yang said so, she couldn't let Han Lin go. Old Man Han was not really that cruel. The third son was also his son, and he was angry at him for not fighting for him, so he didn't want to pay attention to him. Seeing Mrs. Yang like this, he didn't stop her, but just smoked even harder.

In the eyes of the old couple, Han Lin and his wife were quarreling in a very inappropriate manner. However, at this moment, Han Lin and Wang were sitting there talking and laughing, which was not the case at all.

"Brother Lin, what do you think my parents' reaction will be? They won't really divorce me, after all, it has become like this." Wang was not really so fearless. Life in her parents' home was hard as well, and they could not afford to raise another divorced daughter. Otherwise, how could Wang be so obedient? She made trouble this time because she listened to Han Lin.

"Don't worry, no one can divorce you as long as I don't agree. I'm the only one who has the final say on this matter!" Han Lin said in a tone that he didn't take Old Man Han and Yang seriously at all.

"But can we really make it work?" Wang was still a little worried. Their third house was not as prosperous as the first and second houses. With the help of the fourth house, they were almost out of food. If they couldn't go to the city, they would definitely have a miserable New Year. It was also bad luck. They had agreed to go to the city together, but who would have thought that Han Lin would fall down. The father-in-law and mother-in-law listened to the doctor and wanted to keep the third house in the village. They didn't want them to go to the city to cause trouble for the fourth and fourth couple. They were really biased.

"Just wait. I know my mother's temper. No matter how much she looks down on me, I am her son and she will not ignore me. She will definitely be worried after all the trouble we have caused. When she comes, I will convince her that we have decided to take the capital city. Why should the benefits be taken by the eldest and the second oldest brother when we are brothers?" Han Lin said this. Only Wang Shi was there and no longer needed to hide her greed, her face showing through, and even a bit of viciousness and cruelty.
