Chapter 254 Should we just rob it?
Unexpectedly, he and his second brother were right; Feng'er and the others really did make a fortune in business!
So, will they be able to benefit from this and make a fortune by doing business with us?
Shen couldn't stop smiling. She was initially overjoyed and excited, but then she became annoyed.
Feng'er and her husband made money, but they didn't even tell their own mother. They lived a life of luxury in town, while their mother toiled in the fields every day under the sun and wind.
Neither of them has a conscience; how can they be considered human?
She spat inwardly, rolled up her sleeves, wishing her daughter were standing right in front of her so she could slap her hard and teach her a lesson in how to behave and be a good mother!
The eldest son and his wife made a fortune, while the Shen family didn't benefit. Sun was feeling resentful, but when she saw that even at this point, Shen, her own mother, still didn't know about her daughter's wealth, she felt instantly relieved.
So she began to mock, "Oh, Qingchuan and Feng'er have made a fortune. They bought a house in town and started a business. It's understandable that I, as their stepmother, can't benefit from it, but you, their biological mother, didn't even know a word. I thought you were giving them a lot of money as a gift, haha..."
Madam Shen was so angry she was practically fuming. She rolled her eyes and scoffed, "That's why they say a stepmother is no better than a biological mother. You, as a stepmother, are only thinking about taking advantage of others and always eyeing your stepson and daughter-in-law's money. I, as their biological mother, am completely different!"
As long as Feng'er and Qingchuan are doing well, what does it matter whether I, as their mother, know or not? In the end, it's all about who gave birth to whom; those who didn't give birth aren't as close!
Now that her daughter and son-in-law were rich, Shen looked down on her in-laws, who were poor scholars. Looking at Sun, the wicked mother-in-law who tormented her daughter, she felt even more confident and spoke with smugness.
Sun wanted to mock Shen to make up for her own feelings, but she didn't expect Shen to be even more eloquent than her, and she ridiculed her relentlessly.
Her chest heaved with rage. Pointing a trembling finger at Shen, her face a ghastly green, she stammered, "You...you..."
Madam Shen snorted coldly, gave her two sons a wink, and led them out of the old Shen family home with her head held high and chest puffed out.
Sun was so angry that her vision blurred, and she wanted to bang her head against the wall. She stomped her feet on the spot!
At this time, Mr. Shen was still teaching at the school and had not yet finished her studies. Her three sons were working at the Juxian Restaurant in town to pay off their debts, and her two daughters-in-law were embroidering and weaving in the house, never able to stop for a moment. So she had to swallow her grievances and bear them silently.
……
Shen led her two sons and hurried to Qinghe Town. They asked around along the way and finally found out that her daughter and son-in-law were suppliers of braised pig trotters to Yunlai Restaurant.
However, no one in Qinghe Town knew where the house that the daughter and son-in-law had bought was.
Shen was so angry she almost ground her teeth to powder. "Fine, one after another, they're afraid our poor family will come knocking on their door, so they've even sealed the door shut, not daring to let out a single whisper!"
Liu felt that his sister and brother-in-law were now rich, so they should be more polite in their speech. What if they offended them by saying something carelessly and then the couple stopped helping them get rich?
So he changed his attitude and started speaking up for his sister and brother-in-law.
"Mother, you should really control your temper. Before, when Feng'er brought Qingchuan back to her parents' home, you and Father treated Qingchuan with the cold shoulder. Now that the couple has made a fortune in silence, if you keep mocking them, what will we do if they really don't care about us anymore?"
Madam Shen was somewhat unconvinced. She said sarcastically, "What are you talking about? Feng'er was born from my belly. No matter when or where, no matter if they become rich or not, I am still her mother. She has to listen to whatever I say. If she dares to be disrespectful to me, I will break her legs!"
“Mom, things are different now. Things change every thirty years. Now that she’s made money, she can stand taller. If you speak nicely to her, she’ll give you more money as a token of respect. If you don’t speak nicely to her, she’ll be angry and won’t give you a single penny. What can you do then? Take it from her?”
Shen rolled her eyes, stubbornly saying, "She...she dares!"
Liu Lao Er, however, did not take his elder brother's words seriously. He sneered and said, "Brother, now that you hear that Qingchuan and Feng'er are rich, why are you so afraid of everything? Mother is right. She is our mother's daughter. As long as we find her, will she dare to disobey our mother? In the end, won't everything be decided by our mother?"
Besides, given her and Qingchuan's personalities, would they dare refuse us? It's not like we're not going to work hard. As long as they're willing to work with us, we're sure to make money. How big can their business grow with just a child?
"Let's help them. There's strength in numbers, and they'll even benefit from it. Besides, we're her family, which is better than being outsiders, right?"
Liu Laoda opened his mouth, but swallowed the words that were about to come out. He thought to himself that what his mother and younger brother said was not without reason.
He's regressing as he gets older!
The mother and her two children stood at the entrance of Yunlai Restaurant. When they saw Xiao Zhuo, a waiter in the restaurant, Liu Lao Er immediately grabbed Xiao Zhuo's arm and asked him a question.
"Hey, brothers, do you know Qingchuan and Feng'er? They're the couple who supply you with braised pig's trotters."
Xiao Zhuo looked Liu Lao Er up and down, noticing that his features resembled those of Qing Chuan's sister-in-law. He then looked at the mother and son behind Liu Lao Er and felt a little puzzled.
"You are?"
Seeing that Xiao Zhuo hesitated, Liu Lao Er quickly smiled and said, "I am Feng'er's brother from her maternal side." He pointed to the people behind him and introduced them, "This is our mother and eldest brother. It's our first time visiting their new home in town, and we can't find the door."
Your family?
Can't find the door?
Xiao Zhu looked suspicious. He looked the mother and her two children up and down. The three of them had no hands. It was the first time the mother's family had come to visit, and they hadn't brought anything with them. What were they here for?
Furthermore, if they were truly her family, given the character of Qingchuan and his wife, how could they possibly keep their address from her family?
Qingchuan and his wife, along with Shuisheng and Xiaojiu, have moved to Dushui County. The bride's family is still searching everywhere for the house they bought in the town, clearly unaware that Qingchuan's family has already moved to the county.
It seems that my sister-in-law's family is quite powerful, probably similar to the Shen family!
Having worked as a waiter in the restaurant for a long time, Xiao Zhuo had long since developed the ability to see in all directions and hear from all sides. He was also quick-witted, and when he sensed something was wrong, he immediately became alert.
So he waved his hand and said, "I'm just a waiter here. I usually wipe the tables and chairs, serve dishes and make tea. I don't know anything about 'supplies' or anything like that. If you're coming in to eat, I'll take you in and arrange your seats. If you're not eating, you should go ask around. Maybe someone else knows?"
Shen's lips twitched. The three of them were so happy and excited that they had rushed all the way to Qinghe Town to find their daughter and son-in-law. They had walked so far that their feet were blistered, but they didn't have a single copper coin on them. How could they afford to eat at a restaurant?
