Chapter 167: Making empty promises?



Ye Tianyong was provoked by the looks in his brothers' eyes. Was he really that unreliable?

Is it really necessary?

Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with them now.

The important matter is the priority.

"I'll just ask you one question: Do you want to make money? Do you want to build a big brick house like ours?"

When Ye Tianyong got to the exciting part, he couldn't help but stand up.

His two sentences struck a chord with the group.

Several people nodded involuntarily and shouted, "Yes!"

If Yingbao were here watching this scene, he would feel as if he had stumbled into a pyramid scheme.

It looks like something out of a famous movie.

What is it? — To get rich, build roads first.

There's also a famous scene from an unknown movie: To succeed, you have to go crazy and charge forward (for money) regardless of everything: Take a gamble, and you'll be rich for three generations; only by risking your life can you avoid failure.

Ye Tianyong's words gave the impression of someone who makes empty promises, like the characters in movies.

As expected, the brainwashing was very successful. The group of people who were previously timid, hesitant and afraid of making a mistake became extraordinary. How should I describe it?

Judging from their expressions, you can tell two things:

—Excitement.

Yes, you read that right, it really is excitement.

Look at that face, so red it looks like it's on fire, she's in a real hurry.

Ye Tianyong smiled, sat down, rubbed his sore calves, and said, "That's right, you should think about it."

…………

Tiger's father and Zhu Zi... were all so engrossed in the big deal of making money that they didn't pay much attention to what he was doing.

Otherwise, based on years of getting to know each other, one could probably guess pretty accurately.

Then we'll be gloating.

***

While Ye Tianyong and his group were discussing things, Wang Cuihua, Wang Yitong, and the other two wives were getting along very well with their mother-in-law in the kitchen.

To be more specific, the division of labor for making lunch should be clear.

Zhou Xiayun and her sister-in-law Wang Yitong were seen chopping meat, potatoes, radishes, cabbage, mushrooms, wood ear fungus, vermicelli, tofu skin, scrambled eggs, and so on.

Grandma Wang Cuihua and Aunt Lin Wan were also working together at first, but when they realized it was getting late, they started preparing lunch for the day.

I learned from their conversation that they were preparing for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner.

So tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve.

They're putting in the effort to make dumplings for tomorrow's Lunar New Year's Eve dinner.

Looking at the abundant and varied ingredients in front of me, I know how delicious and colorful the dumplings will be tomorrow.

There are many varieties to choose from.

If you can imagine it, you can eat it...

While this is a bit of an exaggeration, it's still plausible if you think about it.

Meanwhile, our Yingbao is fast asleep in the house. Even when her mother, Wang Yitong, and grandmother, Wang Cuihua, called her to eat breakfast in the morning, she didn't get up.

The two women, mother and daughter-in-law, looked at Yingbao sleeping soundly and adorably, and felt both heartache and reluctance.

If someone asks: What's it that you feel sorry for?

There will be two possible answers.

The first one, of course, is—

Don't meddle in things that don't concern you.

The second reason is that they feel sorry for Yingbao, who is so young and has to worry about the family's livelihood. At the same time, they also feel guilty and blame themselves for not being capable enough.

The most direct answer is, of course, that they couldn't bear to wake Yingbao because she was sleeping so soundly.
