Yang Yixuan said listlessly, "Why do you think she's so amazing at school? Stealing money didn't hurt her, and the couple who said they were her in-laws didn't harm her either. She still gets good grades and earns so much money from part-time jobs... Think about it carefully, who among us can do that? If it's not because her parents are protecting her, what else could it be?"
Having repeatedly failed with Yang Wanwan over the years, Yang Yixuan has learned her lesson and no longer actively tries to get close to her. Even if she secretly criticizes Yang Wanwan, she doesn't have the same enthusiasm as before.
Yang Qingliang: ...
"Parental protection?"
"Yes. Your parents didn't tell you at the time because they were afraid it would affect you. Your third uncle came to see your parents once."
Yang Qingliang jumped in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"It means exactly what you think, a ghost!"
"Really?"
"If you don't believe me, go ask your parents."
Yang Qingliang didn't dare ask Maodouhua, so he asked Yang Youneng instead.
Yang Youneng glanced around subconsciously, lowered his voice and recounted the whole story, concluding with the instruction: "Whether it's your third uncle or someone else, we can't afford to mess with this. Sigh, thinking about it, I think it was also what caused my injury."
Yang Youneng was filled with regret.
Now his family has fallen into poverty and become one of the worst-off families in the village. Not only is he disabled, but his family is also heavily in debt, and he has to spend money on medicine every month.
It looks like my son won't get into a good university even if he retakes the exam, and neither will my younger daughter. Where will we get the money to send them to a vocational school?
Now I can't even afford to eat meat once a month!
Maodouhua was constantly irritated, cursing from morning till night, and every single person in the family was soaking in a powder keg every minute of every day.
Life was filled with decadence and despair.
If it weren't for his eldest daughter working in the county town to maintain appearances, he wouldn't even have the face to show his face.
If I had known this would happen, why did I provoke Yang Wanwan in the first place?
I heard that Yang Wanwan is now doing both school and business, and she's doing both very well.
As her business grew, she needed deliverymen and other jobs, so she gave these jobs to two uncles in the village who were originally on good terms with Yang Jinqiang. Now, Yang Xinlai and Yang Xinmi heard that they could earn seven or eight hundred yuan a month, and they spoke highly of Yang Wanwan to everyone they met.
If he hadn't tried to take advantage of Yang Wanwan, this job would definitely have been his.
Earning over ten thousand a year is an incredible thing!
Yang Wanwan's house was bustling with activity at this moment.
Yang Xinlai and Yang Xinmi's wives were both helping out at her house, busy with various tasks, and they praised Yang Wanwan highly.
Yang Xinlai's wife is named Wang Xihua. She said, "Wanwan, you are smart, capable, and just like your parents."
Yang Xinmi's wife, Deng Mei, made a big fuss and tried to snatch the things from Yang Wanwan's hands: "Wanwan, look at you, carrying so many things without even calling us! Come on, let me take them!"
Yang Wanwan just smiled as she listened; she wasn't so naive as to think that both aunties were kind-hearted people.
Although Yang Xinlai and Yang Xinmi had a good relationship with their family during Yang Jinqiang's lifetime, they gradually drifted apart from their family over the past five or six years.
However, when some villagers were kicking them while they were down, they did not join in.
Yang Xinlai and Yang Xinmi have been working away from home for the past few years, earning a meager income and rarely being at home. They didn't take advantage of Yang Wanwan's misfortune, but they also didn't show much concern.
Yang Wanwan didn't care about these things.
These days, everyone has a family to support, and nobody is idle.
She needs them to help her promote a good reputation, and they need money. Everyone gets what they need and benefits from each other. It's a good arrangement.
While reputation may not be of much use to her, it's a good tool for winning people over and dealing with those who don't get along with her.
Why not use it?
Even Cao Guihua knows to seek refuge with her own family!
Sure enough, when I drove back today, a lot of people came to the village, all there to curry favor with Yang Wanwan.
Who told Yang Wanwan to be so capable? She can even find jobs for people!
If they could also get along well with Yang Wanwan, she might find them a job if she was happy, which would be much better than going out to work.
Working away from home doesn't guarantee a good salary, and even if you do find one, settling accounts can be a problem. Therefore, many people don't have much money when they go home for the Chinese New Year.
The job Yang Wanwan introduced her to was in the county town. Not only could she earn money, but she could also farm the family's land and take care of her family. Most importantly, the salary was good and paid monthly.
Where can I find a job like this?
Yang Wanwan had called back earlier, and Grandma Yang and Er Ye had already prepared a lot of snacks and candies.
Villagers gathered to see the new car, and Grandma Yang treated them all to fruit and snacks, giving everyone a share. As a result, many children came, and neighbors also came in droves.
Seeing Er Ye washing things in front of the hand pump well—chicken, duck, and pork—everyone praised Yang Wanwan and her sisters.
Wang Xihua went out of her way to make Grandma Yang happy: "Wanwan and her sisters are really amazing, working while going to school. Grandma Yang, you have such wonderful granddaughters, you're truly blessed!"
Grandma Yang beamed with joy: "That's right, that's right! Wanwan and her siblings are so smart and filial! They always buy me delicious food and give me pocket money as soon as they come home! And they're still in school!"
Deng Mei said, "You made so much delicious food for lunch today? These are all good things!"
Grandma Yang: "Wanwan said that her grandpa and I are old and need to eat nutritious food. Her children are growing and need to nourish their brains. So, our family has never lacked chicken, duck, or pork belly. I've eaten with them and even gotten fat. I've lived to such an old age and never thought I'd be able to enjoy the blessings of my granddaughter in my old age. My life has been worthwhile."
Deng Mei: "You're so lucky."
Grandma Yang: "That's right! They want to take me to stay in the city for a while. I've never been to the county town in my entire life. Wanwan made me several sets of clothes and bought me leather shoes. I said, 'I'm so old, why do I need to dress so nicely?' But Wanwan insisted on buying them. That child!"
...
The neighbors praised her enthusiastically, and Grandma Yang blew on her enthusiastically.
Yes, this isn't just boasting; it's all true.
Grandma Yang's words made the neighbors very envious.
They knew that Grandma Yang wasn't lying. Indeed, Grandma Yang had a rosy complexion and wore fashionable clothes for an elderly person.
As for the paddy fields, Yang Wanwan rented them out to her neighbors at the end of last year, so that her grandparents wouldn't be allowed to farm them anymore.
Grandpa and Grandma Yang now only cultivate a few vegetable plots and raise some chickens and ducks. They usually live at Yang Wanwan's house and cook for Er Ye and her siblings.
