The centenary banquet in Yujia Village was lively and joyous.
From the beginning to the end of the village, red sheds are connected together, with people drinking and laughing.
However, this joy did not spread to the elderly couple in the corner - Old Man Yu and Wang Guifen.
The old couple sat at the most inconspicuous table at the banquet. There were rich dishes in front of them, but they had no appetite.
Wang Guifen's face was long, she poked her chopsticks in the bowl, and complained in a low voice.
"That damn girl took away half of our retirement money! Until now, we don't even have a proper place to live. We can only rent that shabby house in the county town! Look at her now, she's doing so well!"
Old Man Yu’s face turned pale and he groaned, feeling even more regretful. The money should have been theirs!
Now, the money is gone and the granddaughter doesn’t recognize them.
They came back for this centenary banquet with great courage.
I thought that no matter what Yu Bai did, he would still consider his face and arrange a seat for them so that they could have a good time.
Unexpectedly, from beginning to end, Yu Bai acted as if he didn't see them.
Even when he was holding a glass of wine to toast the elderly at other tables, he would just glance at their table when passing by, without even a polite word of "Grandpa and grandma, you guys eat and drink well too."
The villagers are all smart and have sharp eyes!
Seeing Yu Bai's attitude, how could he dare to take the initiative to talk to Old Man Yu and Wang Guifen?
Some people who usually walked around pretended not to see him, for fear of being affected by Yu Bai's bad luck.
For a moment, the seats for Old Man Yu and Wang Guifen were so deserted that they seemed to be isolated from the entire village.
Just then, a figure came over with a wine jug in hand and a smile on his face.
"Dad, Mom, why are you sitting here? Come on, eat more. These dishes are all made by the chefs from the big restaurant in the county!"
The person who came was Yu Dongshun, Yu Bai's uncle.
Following behind him were his sons Yu Xiang and Yu Peng.
At this moment, Yu Dongshun changed from his usual laziness and was as attentive as if the banquet was hosted by his family.
Not only did he call his two sons back from outside, he also directed them to run around during the banquet, urging the dishes to be served, and pouring wine for the elders. They were very busy.
Yu Xiang and Yu Peng were unusually agile and nimble, and their words were much sweeter.
Old man Yu looked at his youngest son, who was usually the most useless, and was now bowing and scraping to the eldest family. He wished the word "flattering" was engraved on his face. He felt a surge of anger rushing to his forehead, and his teeth were chattering.
"What a grandson!"
He cursed in his heart, but he knew he couldn't lose his temper now.
Wang Guifen was even more furious and said in a sarcastic tone.
"Hey, the sun is rising from the west? You still remember us two old people?"
Yu Dongshun chuckled, not caring at all, and spoke in a low voice.
"Mom, please stop talking so much."
"Things are different now. Big brother's family... no, that girl Xiaobai has become successful now!"
"Look at this pomp and this connection! We are a family, how can there be any overnight hatred?"
"Xiao Bai is capable and can make money. As elders, we should unite and face the outside world together! How could she treat us unfairly?"
He leaned closer, a hint of subtle excitement in his voice.
"This is a great opportunity for our Yu family to turn things around! As long as we build a good relationship with Xiaobai, we can enjoy the good life in the future. Isn't it just a matter of a word?"
"Maybe Xiangzi and Pengzi will also benefit from it in the future!"
Yu Dongshun spoke with great joy, completely forgetting how harshly his family had treated Yu Bai's family in the past, and also forgetting who had instigated his parents to seize Yu Bai's family's land and pension.
There were only two words "get rich" in his eyes, as if he had already seen the golden light leaking out from between Yu Bai's fingers, shining brightly on their family.
Old man Yu felt disgusted when he saw his youngest son's behavior.
betray!
This is not only a betrayal by the youngest son, but also a trampling of his authority as the head of the family!
But what Yu Dongshun said was like a poisonous thorn, piercing into his dry heart.
Doesn't he want to live a good life?
Wang Guifen was somewhat moved by the prospects described by Yu Dongshun, and the anger on her face eased a little, but she remained harsh in her words.
"That's easy to say! That girl has grown strong now, will she take us seriously?"
"Yes, yes!"
Yu Dongshun patted his chest and made the promise.
"Blood is thicker than water! If we just treat her better and take the initiative to show goodwill, can she really cut off ties with us?"
"Dad, Mom, listen to me, don't be confused now!"
Old Man Yu and Wang Guifen looked at each other and saw a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes.
Yeah, now that they have fallen out, what good can they get?
They have lost their pension money, have no place to live, and even the villagers look down on them.
If... If I could really live a good life relying on Yu Bai as my youngest son said...
