Returning to 84, hunting for wealth, one person feeding three families.
Chapter 99 Resolving Grudges
For a moment, everyone in the Tian family fell silent.
Recalling everything that had just happened, I felt a wave of fear.
Qin Nan's actions are utterly lawless. If she were to actually enter the Tian family, what would the consequences be?
Let alone whether they will help the elderly couple in their old age, they will probably kick them out as soon as they gain power.
A wife like that is better off not marrying!
On the contrary, it was Ye Chen who helped to see this person clearly, which prevented a major disaster from happening.
"Ye Chen, thank you for what you did earlier," Li Xiuqin said first.
Ye Chen quickly waved his hand and explained, "Mom, we're family, no need for formalities. I just wanted to see what kind of person that woman was, but I didn't expect her to be so disappointing."
"By the way, Jianzhong won't blame me for this, will he?"
"Brother, look at what you're saying. We're not petty people. Besides, people should be reasonable. You did the right thing!"
Tian Jianzhong began to speak, but his expression turned grim halfway through: "It's because we kicked Qin Nan out this time that she'll definitely twist the truth and make things up. When those matchmakers hear that, they definitely won't introduce me to any suitable women anymore."
"Besides, our family isn't well-off. I'm just a teacher; I don't have any special skills."
"Sigh, this is my fate."
Tian Jianzhong teaches at a school in the county town, but unfortunately, due to poor conditions, his monthly salary is only a little over thirty yuan.
In addition, I have parents to support, so half of my monthly salary is spent.
Unfortunately, Tian Jianzhong was an honest man, so his hopes of getting promoted and making money were basically dashed.
Matchmakers also judge people by their appearance, so naturally they wouldn't waste too much time on someone like him.
"What are you afraid of? A real man has nothing to worry about, not having a wife?" Ye Chen smiled and patted Tian Jianzhong on the shoulder.
Then, pointing to the two thousand yuan, he asked, "With these two thousand yuan, it would be more than enough to build a brick house at home."
"We'll find someone another day. As soon as construction starts on this house, matchmakers from all around will come looking for it!"
"By then, we'll be highly sought after, so why would we be worried about not finding a wife?"
"No, brother-in-law, are you really going to give me this money?" Tian Jianzhong was stunned and asked subconsciously.
Li Xiuqin and Tian Zhenguo were also stunned on the spot, and it took them a long time to react.
Two thousand yuan is a huge sum of money in rural areas!
It's no exaggeration to say that it can change a person's life!
Originally, it was thought that Ye Chen wanted to test Qin Nan's character, but now it seems that the other party really intends to give the money to the Tian family!
"Xiaohui has taken care of me for so many years. Without her, I don't know what kind of person I would be in now."
"You are all Xiaohui's family. I will definitely take care of you whenever I can!"
Ye Chen spoke with righteous indignation. In fact, he had already made up his mind when he came.
Whether or not the money can be given depends mainly on the character of the Tian family.
If the other party is a vampire who only wants to take advantage of you, you won't get a single penny no matter how much you plead!
In the end, Tian Zhenguo did not give Ye Chen a good look just because Ye Chen was generous. Instead, he made Ye Chen cook as a test.
Tian Jianzhong never even considered taking the money.
This attitude alone is enough to prove that the Tian family is reliable!
Helping others depends on the person; some people are hopeless and incompetent, and if you help them, they might complain about you later.
When good fortune falls from the sky, it depends on whether you have the character to bear it; otherwise, the good fortune will leave on its own!
"Ye Chen..." Tian Xiaohui was already in tears.
She never expected that Ye Chen would give her such a big surprise.
Tian Zhenguo also came to his senses and couldn't help but shake his head: "To be honest, we were the ones who wronged Xiaohui back then. Unexpectedly, in the end, Xiaohui turned out to be the most reliable one."
"Back then, our family was too poor to afford your schooling. You said I was favoring your brother, but no matter what, he had to leave an heir for the Tian family, right?"
"If I hadn't betrayed him and let him become a teacher in the county town, he wouldn't even have a job to eat!"
"Xiaohui, you're very capable and talented, which is why your family forced you to drop out of school. Even if this path didn't work out, you could have taken other paths. It's just that your younger brother is so disappointing!"
The resentment that had been dormant in Tian Xiaohui's heart for three years was finally mostly resolved with Tian Zhenguo's words.
Tian Xiaohui finally understood her parents; in the end, it all came down to one word.
poverty!
It costs at least a thousand yuan a year to support a college student.
My parents are farmers, why should they spend so much money?
Even if we sell the house, we probably still won't have enough money!
Besides, if we really did that, the Tian family line would probably end!
"Dad, it's alright. I've figured it all out over the past few years!"
In an instant, Tian Xiaohui rushed forward, hugged her parents, and wept bitterly.
Tian Jianzhong held the banknotes in his hands, his eyes almost glued to them. He would occasionally look up and glance at Ye Chen with eyes full of admiration!
"Ahem, today is a good day, it's unbelievable to be crying and whining!"
"Quick, let's eat. After we finish eating, we'll go and finalize the house-building arrangements. Who knows, the matchmaker might hear the news and come knocking on our door this afternoon."
Seeing that Tian Jianzhong might kneel down before him if Ye Chen didn't speak, he quickly interrupted the atmosphere.
After hearing what he said, the family finally realized what was going on.
Right now, the family is all together, getting along well.
Ye Chen immersed himself in the atmosphere and experienced the feeling of home for the first time.
"Xiaohui, I'm thinking, should we bring Mom and Dad to live with us?"
"This way, your brother will feel less pressure. Our house is three stories high, so we won't lack space. But there aren't many people in the family, so we need some people around, right?"
After finishing his meal, Ye Chen discussed it with Tian Xiaohui while washing the dishes.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaohui's eyes lit up.
She put down what she was holding, grabbed Ye Chen's neck, and gave him a big kiss.
"If anyone ever calls my man a loser again, I'll fight them to the death!"
"You wait, I'll talk to Mom and Dad right away. Anyway, it'll take a while for the house to be built, so they can keep an eye on things and get it furnished. Who knows, my brother might even be married by then!"
After saying that, Tian Xiaohui skipped and hopped back into the house.
A moment later, he came out looking somewhat dejected: "My parents don't agree. They say that you're just their son-in-law after all, and they feel uncomfortable if you eat and drink their food every day."
"We'll talk about it later. I'll have a good talk with my parents when I have the chance."
Ye Chen touched Tian Xiaohui's forehead and offered a word of comfort.
He had already started making plans in his mind.
I'll be busy by the end of the year. Once I get the shops on Factory Street, the next step is to develop the commercial street.
There's also the matter of purchasing medicinal herbs; I might have to handle that myself.
I'll probably be so busy I won't have a moment to spare, leaving three women at home. What if they neglect their duties?
If they could really bring their parents over, the three women would have someone to keep them company.
I'm willing to do anything as long as the three women are happy!
