Prank wedding pranks? Little fortune teller remarries military officer in a sweet romance.

"To the port city?"

The Ling brothers, Ling Guotai and Ling Guosheng, were both stunned. In just half a day, they suddenly had a wealthy cousin who was now inviting them to Hong Kong.

For a moment, I had a sense of unreal illusion.

Chen Guirong's eyes welled up with tears: "Guotai, Guosheng, after our family went to Gangcheng, we received help from a fellow villager there. Now we have achieved some success in our business and also have business in Daying."

You...you're living such a hard life. Come with me to Hong Kong. Your aunt will be very..."

"Brother Guirong, thank you for your kind intentions, but this is where my brother and I were born and raised. Even though it was a bit tough, we've taken root here. Roots separated from the soil are like roots; no matter how beautiful the garden, it's never the place where you truly belong!"

After Ling Guotai finished speaking, he looked at his younger brother. He was reluctant to leave their hometown; if his brother...

Ling Guosheng shared the same thought as his elder brother: "Brother Guirong, in the past, our family didn't even have enough cotton-padded trousers for winter, and we couldn't even smell meat during the New Year. But now it's different. We have a bumper harvest every year, we can eat white rice, we can dress warmly and have enough to eat, and our children are doing well too."

Things will get better from now on. Go back and tell your aunt not to worry. We'll visit her when we have the chance!

Seeing that the two brothers had no intention of going to Hong Kong at all, and were filled with longing for their homeland, Chen Guirong felt sorry for the brothers' past hardships, but was also gratified that their uncle's descendants were indeed as proud as their uncle and had not learned the contempt of their maternal clan.

When Sun Yulan turned back to tell Ling Jiuyue about it, she was still shaken.

"I'm really afraid your simple-minded dad will agree. He always says bad things about the old woman and that he'll eventually have to go out and live a simple life elsewhere, so I don't have to deal with their family all the time!"

Ling Jiuyue laughed and said, "Don't worry, my dad may say that, but he wouldn't actually go to another city!"

Neither of the two brothers ever considered leaving. Whether life was good or bad, their hometown was still the best.

When Ling Guorong found out about this, he was furious and went to Ling Jiuyue's house to hurl insults at her.

"You two old fools, why don't you enjoy the good life instead of staying in your hometown, bending over and farming? Why are you stopping our family from enjoying wealth and luxury? Ling Guosheng, you old bastard, come out here..."

Sun Yulan splashed a basin of water: "Ling Guorong, you followed your mother back and begged to take the surname Ling. Have you forgotten whose child you are?"

You have absolutely no connection with the old man. The fact that you were allowed to take the Ling surname was something the old lady had to do through crying and making a scene, relying on the affection between her two sons.

"You think you can get something out of Grandpa's relatives? Why don't you ask your mother how she managed to drive Grandpa to his death?"

The brothers Ling Guotai and Ling Guosheng absolutely refused to acknowledge their younger siblings, Ling Guorong and Ling Xiangyun, as their mother who had cheated on their father.

The old woman knelt before her two sons, saying that if they didn't acknowledge Ling Guorong and Ling Xiangyun, she would hang herself in front of them. The village secretary and other elderly people in the village came to persuade them, forcing the brothers to acknowledge the siblings.

Now, he still wants to come to our door asking for favors? He's dreaming.

Ling Guorong still wanted to make trouble and demand more benefits. Chen Guirong had driven back in a car and was a boss from Hong Kong, so he must have given the eldest and second sons a lot of money.

"Fine, she's related to the old man from before, I won't argue with you about that. But Mom is still your mother. Now that you have money, shouldn't you bring her back to take care of her?"

This time, Ling Guotai couldn't stand it anymore: "When she took you and Ling Xiangyun in, she said that you would take care of her in her old age, and that my second brother and I would just provide food. Why should we take care of her now?"

The old woman started her usual tirade again: "Oh dear God, open your eyes and see! These two unfilial sons of mine, now that they see I'm old, they don't even care about their old age anymore! If God has eyes, He should send down a bolt of lightning to strike you two unfilial wicked sons dead!"

Ling Guotai could scold Ling Guorong, but he was helpless against his own mother. She was over seventy years old, and he couldn't hit or scold her, nor could he do anything about her.

The old lady was also good at manipulating people. Knowing that her two sons were honest and dared not do anything to her, she became even more arrogant and excessive.

"Ling Guotai, Ling Guosheng, even if Guorong isn't your father, he still came from my womb and shares the same mother with you. As the older brother, I'll help my younger brother..."

Ling Jiuyue suddenly called out to her, pointing behind her: "Grandma, it's not that my dad and uncle don't agree, it's that Grandpa won't allow it!"

The old woman scoffed, "You brat, stop trying to scare me. I'm not even afraid of that old man alive, let alone me..."

"Really!" Ling Jiuyue looked at the person behind her with a serious expression: "Grandpa said that you brought that person home and deliberately put flies in his food and needles in his pillow. He tolerated you for the sake of my uncle and my dad."

But you brought your bastard child home, leaving my parents with no way to express their grievances. They even said that you lied to him back then, saying that his aunt had died, which is why he stayed to live with you.

What you did angered him so much that he doesn't even want to be reincarnated. He said he wants to come back and talk to you, so you won't continue to harm my dad and the others!

The old woman staggered back two steps, her eyes filled with terror: "You...you're talking nonsense! His...his bones are all rotten, how could...how could..."

"Mom!" Ling Guorong, supporting the old lady, glared fiercely at Ling Jiuyue:

"Why are you afraid of her? She's just talking nonsense and trying to scare you!"

The old woman's body trembled uncontrollably; she hoped it was all a lie.

But her two sons didn't know that she put flies in the old man's food, deliberately put needles in his pillow, and brought her lover home to disgust him. No outsiders would know about these things.

Because the old man was a scholar, he valued his reputation above all else and would never tell anyone about these things, even if it meant being beaten to death.

Ke Ling Jiuyue... How did she, a mere girl, know all this?

Ling Jiuyue stared at the old lady with a sinister smile: "Grandma, Grandpa said he's too lonely down there all by himself, and he asked when you're going to go and keep him company!"

"Ling Guosheng!" Ling Guorong cursed at Ling Guosheng, "You worthless son of a bitch, talking nonsense in broad daylight, don't you care?"

Mom is getting old and won't hold it against you, but as her son, I can't just stand up for her. Chen Guirong gave her a certain amount of money, which is Mom's retirement money, and you must take it out and divide it equally.

If you two dare to hold back and refuse to give it to me, hmph!

Sun Yulan and Tian Yunzhen scolded the third son's family away.

Ling Guotai, however, was worried: "Whether they give us money or not, we don't care. It's just that the old lady's fussing might affect Jiu Yue and Xiao Qin!"

Ling Jiuyue comforted her uncle, "Don't worry, Grandpa will deal with her for us!"

into the night.

The old lady discussed with her daughter Ling Xiangyun, who had just returned home, and Ling Guorong and his wife how to squeeze money out of their eldest and second sons.

As we were talking, the door suddenly opened...
