She even remembered the sympathetic look her English teacher gave her: "Your foreign son-in-law, I guess, isn't a rich man. In foreign countries, most white people discriminate against people of other skin colors, especially black people."
"From what you described, your son-in-law is probably a mixed race of Indian and African origin..."
Africa, I heard, there are a lot of black people there.
What kind of place is India? I found out later that it was a colony of a certain country in the early years. It was a chaotic place with a strict hierarchy.
She asked why her son-in-law didn't look like the Americans in the TV series, and it turned out that he was not one at all.
What will the grandchildren look like?
When she asked, the teacher said that his skin was most likely similar to her son-in-law's.
“No matter what color this black is mixed with, the final color you get is black.”
"Black? Oh my God——" Zhu Dahong looked at the pictures of people who were so black that only their teeth could be seen, and people in India who were buried in a river, drank water from a river, and even took a bath with cow dung. She was staggering as she walked and almost fainted.
"Ma Hongxiu, she's such a big liar."
When Zhu Dahong was sad and regretful, her second daughter-in-law came to make trouble again.
"I've asked around."
It seems that she came prepared.
The Wang family was in a mess and they were not living well, so Su Wanping felt relieved, knowing that evildoers would be punished.
I just couldn't help but be curious, where did Ma Hongxiu take her second brother Wang Yaozu?
But if Wang Yaozu himself does not show up, China has such a large land area and a population of more than one billion. Finding him among them would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even if Wang Yaozu's wife felt that she was cheated by Ma Hongxiu, she couldn't find Ma Hongxiu to settle the score, and she just tortured her mother-in-law Zhu Dahong every day.
Zhu Dahong had no choice but to run to Su Wanping to cry.
"At the beginning, I was so blinded by greed and greed that I didn't see through that Ma Hongxiu was such a ruthless person. My second son is a living person. Where did she take him?"
Su Wanping was annoyed: "I don't know either. I still have business to do here. Don't come here in the future. If you are really anxious, go to the police station. Go a few more times. Maybe you can get some information about him one of the times."
It’s not that Zhu Dahong hasn’t gone to the police station to look for him.
The police station believes that Wang Yaozu has normal IQ, all his hands and feet are intact, and he has the specific civil work capacity and thinking ability. If he wants to come back, he should come back on his own. If he doesn't come back, it is probably because he doesn't want to come back.
After saying this, Zhu Dahong didn't even bother to tell his second son's wife.
In the eyes of the second son's wife, Wang Yaozu had made a fortune outside and found a lover, and was planning to leave her in his hometown to serve his parents-in-law, while he himself lived a free and easy life outside with his concubine.
There was such a person in their neighboring village. He worked as a contractor outside and had one family outside and another in the village.
The yellow-faced woman in the village serves her parents-in-law, while the mistress outside wears gold and silver and gives birth to a son.
Who doesn’t say that the original wives in the village are pitiful?
In less than a year, Zhu Dahong aged several years.
People in their village all treated her family's affairs as a joke.
"This is what evil brings. When the family wanted to seize the family's wealth, they never thought this would happen, right?"
"That's right. She was so proud at that time. She kept saying that her adoptive mother only had Ma Hongxiu as a daughter. If she didn't give the property to her, who else would she give it to? And could she take it into the coffin? Aren't you afraid that if you take too much money, your grave will be dug up by others?"
"Speaking of Ma Hongxiu, she really has the roots of the Wang family. The Ma family is a cultured family. They raised her from childhood and made her read so many sage books, but it didn't change her bad nature."
"As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse gives birth to a son who can dig holes. Don't dare to adopt a child casually in the future."
Ma Hongxiu single-handedly made those who seriously wanted to adopt a child to take care of them in their old age give up the idea.
Anyway, Wang Yaozu is really missing.
Chen Xiaoying's life went on. At this time, the document to abolish the county and change it into a city came down. Kaiyuan County held a grand celebration. From then on, Kaiyuan County officially became a provincial municipality, and all the words related to county in the city were replaced with city.
On the reissued ID card, Kaiyuan County, xx City, H Province is directly changed to Kaiyuan City, H Province.
Kaiyuan City has officially started a large-scale demolition and reconstruction. The old building that Li Yutong and her grandmother Chen Xiaoying bought naturally became the target of demolition.
The six-story old building with cracked walls was renovated into a high-end elevator building with more than 30 floors. The amount of savings in the bank accounts of the two people was close to eight figures.
Li Yutong came back and discussed it with her grandmother.
Do you want money or a building?
According to the area allocated to them, in addition to being able to choose several houses on the best floors, they can even be allocated five or six shops.
"Grandma, we need houses and shops." Li Yutong remembered clearly that this high-end residential area, which now looked a bit desolate, would soon have the Fifth Primary School of the city and the Eighth Middle School of Kaiyuan City built across from it.
The houses in this community and the shops outside have always been in short supply. Even when the real estate market began to fluctuate and become unstable, the shops here remained stable.
The nearby properties and traffic keep these shops at prime prices.
"Okay, I don't feel secure keeping so much money in my hands, so I'll just use it as a shop." Chen Xiaoying said, she had earned so much money over the years, she could not spend it all in this lifetime.
But she never thought about building roads in the village or giving money to poor households in the village.
Most of the people in the village are simple, but a single bad apple can spoil the whole barrel. They are old and young, so it’s better for them not to be the first to stick their heads around.
"Grandma, you want to do good deeds. That's fine. Soon this road will be built directly to the village. For areas in the village that cannot be repaired, you can donate more when the call for donations comes." Li Yutong gave her advice.
"Also, the village invites opera performers every year. You can donate two shows, which will be a lively occasion."
"Everyone knows that we make money. If we don't give a penny, people will talk about us behind our backs. Let's give a little more than others. If others give 100 yuan, we can give 300 yuan. It won't be conspicuous and we can feel our presence. That's enough."
After Li Yutong said this, Chen Xiaoying also felt that it made sense.
When there was a temple fair in the neighboring village, Chen Xiaoying donated three hundred yuan.
The next village is Zhaojia Village, where the eldest daughter Li Hongyan lives.
Li Hongyan saw one of the donors on the red paper on the wall. It was her mother Chen Xiaoying's name. There were many people in Kaiyuan City, and many of them were richer than Chen Xiaoying. The first one donated 10,000 yuan, and Chen Xiaoying's 300 yuan ranked her 20th or 30th, which was not bad. The others were from the village who donated 30, 20, or even 10 or 5 yuan.
"Li Hongyan, isn't this your mother's name? Oh, she donated 300 yuan. It seems that your mother really made money, but you didn't enjoy it with her?"
Hearing the gloating tone in this person's words, Li Hongyan felt uncomfortable.
