Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile
Chapter 536 537 Choice
Upon Huang Pingguo's arrival, the Huang family immediately surrounded him. "Pingguo, you can't abandon this whole family. Otherwise, your father and I will really have no choice but to take this whole family back and starve to death."
"Apple, I know we made a mistake this time. We sold our house and land without consulting you. But since it's already like this, you have to help us think of a solution."
We don't want our whole family to squeeze into your house, but we have nowhere else to go..."
Several women began to wipe away tears. They knew that Huang Pingguo was the most soft-hearted, so they had already thought of a plan.
"Yes, it's not that we don't work, it's just that there's no good land left in the village. We want to buy a piece of land, a few acres of land, but we haven't found a suitable one."
We know our arrival has placed a great burden on you. How about this? You can have your wife come back, we'll apologize to her properly, and from now on we'll treat her like royalty. Is that alright?
……
Bai Suihe felt a chill run down her spine as she listened. Compared to the Gu family, at least they still had some dignity, but this whole family had completely embodied shamelessness.
"This……"
Seeing Huang Pingguo hesitate, the Huang family was delighted. At this moment, Zhuang Datou squeezed through the crowd and grabbed Huang Pingguo, saying, "You'd better think this through. If you agree, your little family will be finished the next moment."
Their temporary capitulation is just a pretext to leech off you more easily. Have you forgotten how we lived before we got separated from our family?
How did they survive? Huang Pingguo was old enough to remember things. Forget about going hungry or eating a full meal; he didn't even know what it meant to be full. His stomach was growling all day long.
If it weren't for the kind-hearted Granny Wu who brought them to the Bai family, they might have disappeared in some dilapidated temple.
“Don’t forget, although they gave us life and raised us, the Bai family and Granny saved our lives,” Zhuang Datou whispered in his ear, “and the master and madam also showed us kindness. Do you really want to destroy all of this because of them?”
Huang Pingguo's eyes hardened. In his heart, he knew that if he lost everything, his family would probably be the first to abandon him.
"Father, Mother, stop making a scene!" Huang Pingguo shouted loudly, no longer caring that her husband and wife were in front of her. "I know what you want, but you want too much, and I can't give it to you."
I can give you everything I have right now, I just hope we can separate our households.
“You heartless wretch, how could you say such a thing?” Lu Cuihua changed the subject. “If you want to separate the family, you can take your wife with you and leave home without bringing anything else. Then I will agree to your separation.”
It's not that I'm a heartless mother, but if you have a job, you two won't go hungry.
But with such a large family like ours, if you give us the house and land, at least we can survive.
Upon hearing this, the villagers of Tamura began to murmur amongst themselves. They used to envy Zhuang Datou and his friends, and dreamed of living a life like theirs in the future. But at this moment, they all felt sorry for the two young men in front of them.
What kind of family are these? Some people would believe they are enemies.
Huang Pingguo smiled bitterly, "Father and Mother, don't even think about it. This house and land are all in my wife's name."
This is all her dowry; the most I can give you is the money I've saved over the years.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to do so when he married Chunxiang. To show his sincerity, he mentioned to his wife that he was willing to put all the properties in her name. Besides, these properties were originally provided by his wife for Chunxiang and the others. Since they brought it up themselves, no one had to feel awkward.
Unexpectedly, his actions back then have now become his reliance.
"What did you say? This house and land aren't yours!" Lü Cuihua panicked. Would her previous scheme still work?
"Why didn't you tell us before? Didn't you say you had a house and land here when you went home?" Huang Pingguo wished she could go back to a few days ago and slap herself hard. Why did she have to show off back then?
If he had followed Zhuang Datou's advice and concealed most of the truth, he probably wouldn't be in this predicament today.
"Back then, I lied to save face and because I was afraid you'd lose face back in your hometown," Huang Pingguo said loudly, her face flushed, trying to protect the family business.
“Now that she’s married into our family, she’s our daughter-in-law. She should think about her family. We’re struggling to make ends meet right now. She has money and jewelry, and I don’t need those. Just give us the house and land, and we promise we won’t bother you two anymore.” Lu Cuihua had no other way out and made that promise.
For now, the only option is to appease my son first, and we can plan for other things later.
Huang Pingguo was somewhat tempted; this would be a win-win situation.
Zhuang Datou tugged at him and whispered in his ear, "Are you sure this will satisfy them?"
Don't forget that such a large family can't be supported by just a few acres of land.
If you back down now, they will become even more demanding in the near future.
Lü Cuihua squinted at Zhuang Datou. Her silly son trusted Zhuang Datou the most, so this time things might be a bit difficult.
"Big Head, Auntie knows you all have your own selfish motives, but we're family after all. How about we handle this ourselves?"
Only by getting rid of Zhuang Datou can she proceed with her next plan.
When I have time in the future, I must keep Apple away from this Zhuang Datou, so that he doesn't lead her astray.
Seeing this, Bai Suihe also wanted to know Huang Pingguo's final choice.
If he really agrees to his family's request, then he won't dare to use this person again.
If Chunxiang understands this, she will probably make a choice as well.
She knew her two maids quite well; they were both independent and resourceful. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given them indentures and sent them all the way to Lingnan with her.
Based solely on this bond, Bai Suihe would never allow them to be bullied.
Gu Kaiyuan keenly noticed that Bai Suihe's breathing had become heavier, and quickly reached out a hand to gently stroke her back, "Don't worry, let's see how they handle it first."
They have their ways of handling things, and we have our own decisions.
Don't interfere with them now; only then can we know if there's any chance of saving these two people.
Gu Kaiyuan didn't mean he wanted the people around him to be unfilial; filial piety is subjective.
The greed in the eyes of these two families was never concealed; even the onlookers could see it clearly. He simply couldn't believe that Zhuang Datou and his group hadn't noticed it.
They only tolerated it because of family ties.
Now it's time for them to choose; let's hope they don't disappoint. (End of Chapter)
