"Pengbo, your dear grandmother is very rich. Didn't you say that every household in her village has a seven- or eight-story building, which is rented out and the monthly rent is tens of thousands?"
"I sent you the evidence. Please keep it for now. Once you find out your grandma's address and your mom and your grandma recognize each other, we won't have to live this poor life anymore."
"Mom is going to live with your grandma and enjoy happiness."
Li Hongyan was extremely happy.
Zhao Pengbo was stunned for a moment, then he became happy: "Mom, then I can't wait to see my grandma too."
It was he who found out where his grandmother Liang Xiuqing lived. Although he did not find her, he had already inquired about the situation in the village.
Although they are all old men and women dressed simply, each of them has a building at home.
He didn't say that he disliked his former grandmother Chen Xiaoying.
She had been really nice to her grandchildren in the past, but she had only given them some homemade soybean oil, tofu, fried dough sticks, eggs, vermicelli, and other worthless things.
Occasionally, when he was with his grandfather Li Pingwang, he would give some money to their family.
At that time, he liked this grandma very much, but now that she is rich and buys houses one after another, she doesn't buy any for them.
He saw through this grandmother, because this proved that in her heart, she still distinguished between her granddaughter and her grandson.
So when it came to valuable things like houses, she only gave them to her own granddaughter and not to her grandsons.
Then why would he continue to like this grandma without any self-awareness?
He has a biological grandmother now.
Although he has not yet found out the whereabouts of his grandmother Liang Xiuqing, he has long been aware of the situation in those urban villages. When they were not demolished, they were rented out to people working in other provincial capitals, with a monthly rent of 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. When the demolition took place, these people could turn from landlords into multi-millionaires in a matter of minutes, living in villas, driving luxury cars, and the compensation they received included not only houses but also shops.
Her grandmother would definitely not be as stingy as Chen Xiaoying.
"Okay, I got it, Mom. I'll look for her when I have a day off this week." Zhao Pengbo asked for leave to look for her. He felt that he didn't need to give up his studies just for this matter.
Li Hongyan couldn't say she would stop studying for the time being and go to her grandmother: "Okay, you decide."
Zhao Pengbo studies very hard. He and Li Yutong were admitted to the same key university, but in different departments.
The two occasionally met in the cafeteria and would say hello.
But now, when Zhao Pengbo saw Li Yutong, he turned his head away, as if he didn't know her at all.
"Li Yutong, isn't that your cousin? Why did he ignore you just now?" asked her roommate.
"I don't know. This is his last year in college and he might be busy with his studies." Li Yutong never thought that Zhao Pengbo would completely take the same stance as his biological mother and cut off ties with everyone in the Li family.
Li Hongyan didn't even think about it that way. She told Chen Xiaoying that even if she found her biological mother, she would still be her daughter and she would be as filial to her as she would be to her biological mother.
He wanted to have the best of both worlds. He wanted to take advantage of his biological mother Liang Xiuqing, but at the same time he was reluctant to give up the property of his adoptive mother Chen Xiaoying. Even if a little slipped through his fingers, it was still a little. Who would complain about having too much money?
However, she did not expect that her second son would be so "noble" that he would not want his old grandmother anymore when he had his own grandmother.
Li Yutong realized from Zhao Pengbo's attitude that something must have happened in his hometown, so she went out and called her grandmother Chen Xiaoying.
"...Yes, the things have been given to Li Hongyan. She also returned all the things she had taken from me before."
Li Yutong understood: "Oh, so that's how it is."
She did not hide the fact that Zhao Pengbo ignored her when they met. Her grandmother had some affection for Zhao Pengbo as a grandparent and felt that no matter how excessive Li Hongyan was in her past and present lives, Zhao Pengbo and the others had not done anything. She could not bear to see that they could not have good meals because they had no money to go to college, so she secretly gave them money without Li Hongyan's knowledge.
She just wanted to let her grandmother know that Zhao Pengbo was even quicker to turn against someone than Li Hongyan.
Regarding those things in his previous life, Zhao Pengbo might not be unaware of how much money his mother took from his uncles. He should have known all about it, but Li Hongyan spoke first, saying that it was a matter between her and her brothers from her mother's side and had nothing to do with them, so he pretended not to know.
Chen Xiaoying was silent for a while, and then she said, "Let him do as he pleases. Anyway, when the time comes to collect the debt, he will definitely turn against me."
When Li Hongyan's three sons were born, she was the one who stood by their biological mother, trembling with fear and holding back tears. She prepared hot soup and egg water, took care of their mother during her confinement, and also took care of her grandchildren.
Chen Xiaoying didn't want to tell this to Zhao Pengfei and Zhao Pengbo. If the other party cared, they would remember it without her saying anything. If they didn't care, even if you said it a hundred times, they would still think that you kept talking about it just because you did a small thing, and that you were trying to get some benefits from them by asking for a favor.
There's no need.
It’s not like she doesn’t have grandchildren.
"Grandma, why don't I go and ask around to find out where Liang Xiuqing is and how she is doing. Is she the rich person they think she is?" Li Yutong always felt that Liang Xiuqing's luck wasn't so good. Her family wasn't that rich, right?
But just in case, Li Hongyan has this luck.
"Okay, I also want to know whether this black-hearted person has suffered retribution after doing so many shameless things." Chen Xiaoying said gritting her teeth.
"Okay, grandma, just wait for the news." Li Yutong said.
So, when Zhao Pengbo was trying to find out information about Liang Xiuqing bit by bit on his own, Li Yutong had many more channels of information than him.
She just paid someone to find out who the district director of that area was, and then had the items brought to his door.
The state screens household registrations, and as long as the person is not an illegal resident, he or she will be found out.
What's more, Liang Xiuqing's address has been specifically determined in this area.
"Who are you to her?" The district director was a middle-aged woman who looked like an ordinary person, but spoke in an official tone and acted in an airy manner.
Li Yutong handed over the gift and said, "Just tell me if there is such a person. In the early years, when she went to the countryside, our family received a great favor from her. Now I am looking for her to repay her."
Say it's a repay?
The district director took a look at Li Yutong and suddenly realized that this girl was not only pretty, but her clothes also looked expensive. She also recognized the brand on the backpack and she had several such bags.
This model costs about eight or nine hundred yuan each, which is unaffordable for ordinary families.
Since the reform and opening up, even foreign luxury brands have opened flagship stores in the provincial capital, a metropolis, especially the donkey brand, which is the most easily recognizable.
The district director believed it.
Li Yutong had done her homework before coming here, and had made a point of finding out what kind of person this district director was. Just as she expected, he had little education, but his family had connections, so he got the position of district director. He always used trivial things as orders to show off his authority, and he was also a snob.
That's why she showed up dressed like this, and the donkey brand was also specially carried out for her to see.
