C197 The Snobbish Uncle
"Nonsense. You're here to help her with her nonsense, Hui-Lan. Your sister doesn't want me and my wife to worry about saying such things. It's understandable, but why did you interrupt? Oh, do you think that I, this old man, am poor? You don't allow me to interfere in the affairs of my children? Let me tell you, no matter how poor I am at my age, I also want to help my own daughter!"
"You people, how much did your sister help you back then? But what about you? Oh, once your sister divorced, she refused to acknowledge anyone as family and was in a hurry to get rid of her relationship with your sister? Let me tell you, our Old Lee family cannot be so useless. Hui-Lan, those few brothers of yours are bastards, I don't care. But you have to listen to me. Your sister is in trouble. You can't ignore it. Do you hear me? "
"Dad, look at you. Fourth Sister has been helping me. If it wasn't for her, I don't know if Fann Binn and I would have been able to survive that most bitter period. " Fann Binn's mother clearly felt a warmth in her heart. She sobbed a little. "Dad, I know that you and Mom are very concerned about me. But I'm really living a good life now. I don't need you to worry about me anymore..."
Fann Binn finally could not help but laugh as he stood between his grandfather and mother. He gave Wu Qi a look. Wu Qi smiled and nodded. She clearly understood what Fann Binn meant. She took out two bulging red packets from her bag and handed them to her grandfather and her husband respectively. " Grandpa, grandma, this is my first time meeting you, and this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it. "
Grandpa looked at the red packet in Wu Qi's hand and shook his head with a smile. " This is my grandson's girlfriend's first time coming home. It's naturally me and my wife who should give you red packets. There's no reason for you to give them. " After saying that, he turned to his grandmother, Fann Binn, who was sitting on a chair. "Old woman, go. Take out the red packets at home. We want to give our grandchild's wife a gift. "
Grandma immediately nodded when she heard that. She hurriedly got up and walked into the inner room. Fann Binn did not stop her. Wu Qi held the red packet and stood awkwardly on the spot, looking at Fann Binn. Fann Binn smiled and gestured for her to wait.
Not long after, Grandma came out of the inner room with a red packet. She enthusiastically stuffed it into Wu Qi's bosom and said, "My grandson's wife is really handsome. My wife has grown up so much. I have never seen such a beautiful child before. This is my first meeting gift. Consider it a little gift from your grandfather and me. Please accept it."
Wu Qi nodded and accepted the gift. "Grandfather and grandmother, I will definitely accept your goodwill, but you must also accept my goodwill. This is also a token of gratitude from Fann Binn."
Grandma looked at her grandfather, who was standing there, with some difficulty. After thinking for a while, her grandfather smiled and nodded. "Alright. It's rare for a granddaughter-in-law to be so considerate. Please accept it."
When her grandfather said this, Grandmother smiled and accepted the two big red packets without rejecting them. However, when she touched the red packets, she was immediately astonished. “ My dear daughter, what's in the red packet? Why is it so full of money?"
Wu Qi revealed a sweet smile and her pink lips slightly opened as she said, "Grandma, there's money inside."
"What? Money?" Granny opened the two red packets in her hands in surprise. There was a whole stack of new hundred yuan notes in the red packets. There were dozens of red packets in total! This time, not only Grandma was dumbfounded, even her grandfather, who was standing at the side, was also stunned on the spot! Perhaps they had never seen so much money in their entire lives. They were stunned and did not know what to do.
"Grandpa, this forty thousand yuan is a small token of appreciation from Wu Qi and me. Don't worry, everything my mother said is the truth. We will not live the bitter life we used to have, because today, we... We've already lived a life more blissful than ordinary people. We have money, more money than you think.
"Fann Binn knows that no matter how you say it, Grandpa will never change his impression of his mother. To make a qualitative change in his impression, we can only use facts to change it!
Since he did not believe that his mother had a good job, Fann Binn would use the fact that it was forty thousand yuan iron to tell him. My mother is no longer the mother who struggled on the poverty line in the past! The current Fann Binn was no longer the same person called Tian Ying. The Fann Binn who had called the earth no longer worked!
Grandma held the heavy forty thousand yuan in her hands. Her old face was clearly excited beyond words. She handed the money to her husband with trembling hands, and said in fear, " Old man, this, this is so much money. What should, what should we do?"
Grandpa's gaze was rapidly shifting. Clearly... At this moment, he had no choice but to change his original view of his third daughter, Lee Huijuan. For no reason, the forty thousand yuan was the best proof. If it was the previous Lee Huijuan, how could she suddenly take out so much money?
Of course, at this moment, his grandfather clearly did not associate this money with Fann Binn and Wu Qi. In his view, how could a seventeen year old boy and a girl of the same age as him possibly have the ability to earn so much money? Other than the money his daughter Lee Huijuan earned, there was no other explanation for this money.
If her daughter Lee Huijuan was still an ordinary female worker in the textile factory, could she just give out forty thousand yuan as a red packet? This was simply impossible! At this moment, Grandfather's expression finally revealed a trace of emotion. He asked, "Huijuan, that car outside... is also yours? "
Before Fann Binn and Lee Huijuan's mother could say anything, Fann Binn's aunt, Li Hui-Lan, smiled and said. " That car belonged to your grandson, Fann Binn. Father, the outside world is completely different from the village. A tremendous change has occurred. Do you know that Fann Binn is really amazing right now? He could earn a lot of money, and that money was in his eyes. It might be impossible to imagine. My grandson got fired after the agricultural factory closed down this year. He is still counting on your grandson to find a good job for him."
Aunt Li Hui-Lan's words undoubtedly shocked his grandfather once again. He turned his head and stared at the smiling Fann Binn. Finally, he said with incomparable shock. "Fann, you can also earn big money? Tell Grandpa, what kind of money do you earn?"
"Er..." Fann Binn had a headache. Explanation? He could explain clearly, but even his mother could not understand. Grandfather, who had stayed in the countryside for his entire life, could understand? After thinking for a while, he decided to keep it short and say it perfunctorily. " It's just that my girlfriend's family has a big company in Jiangde. I just helped in that company. "
Fann Binn blamed it on Wu Qi. This way, it would be easy for his grandfather to understand. Secondly, he would definitely pay more attention to Wu Qi. Sure enough, his grandfather came to a realization and said, "Oh my, so my grandson's son-in-law is a benefactor... I knew it, how could such a beautiful girl be a girl from an ordinary family. Miss Wu, thank you for looking at Fann Binn. Looking at my Old Lee's family. Fann Binn's family is not good, and his parents are divorced. Please don't take offense."
" No, grandpa won't... I love Fann Binn very much, and Fann Binn loves me very much as well..." Wu Qi stared at Fann Binn with deep affection and said with a lovely smile. "I believe that we will definitely be happy in the future. I will tolerate everything about him, and he will also tolerate everything about me. Only then will we be worthy of being together forever."
"Good, good." Grandpa clapped his hands and sighed with emotion. "It's rare for a little girl like you to understand this logic. Unfortunately, Fann Binn's father didn't understand it."
His grandfather's words made Fann Binn and his mother's eyes dim at the same time. The word 'father' had become a heavy pain not only for Fann Binn and his mother, but also for the entire Old Lee family.
The atmosphere in the family became a little heavy. Wu Qi quietly sat beside Fann Binn with her head lowered and held his arm tightly. Looking at the frowning face of the man she loved, her grandmother, Fann Binn, Lee Huijuan's mother and aunt Li Hui-Lan looked at her grandfather who was sighing with emotion at the same time. She did not say anything for a long time.
"Dad, dad?" Just as everyone was silent, a man's rough shout suddenly came from the courtyard. “ I heard someone say that they are distant relatives? Even their car is here. What kind of relatives are so rich? Could it be that Second Younger Sister arrived early? But she called me and said that she will only be here in a few days?"
This man's voice was naturally foreign to Wu Qi, but to her grandfather, mother, and little aunt, it was incomparably familiar. This person was Fann Binn's uncle, Li Da. He was also the eldest son of the family.
"Hehe, Big Brother, why do you ask this? What does it have to do with you whether relatives have money or not? Aren't you an honest and reliable farmer? " At that moment, another male voice with a sinister smile appeared in the courtyard. This voice was also familiar to Fann Binn. It was his second uncle, Li Zhong.
"You brat, you only know how to talk about others. Aren't you the same as well? Let me tell you, Li Zhong, don't think that just because you climb up the ladder with Brother Zhou, you can be so cocky. Do you think that you are like a city man? Ha, not to mention you, but that Brother Zhou... Isn't he a local tycoon? You deserve to put on airs in front of me! "
" Big Brother, you're being too harsh on me. Fine. I'm not going to argue with you. Let's go and find Dad to judge. " Their voices continued to intertwine, and very soon, they were getting closer and closer. When the two of them walked into the house from the yard, they were still bickering. However, when the two of them saw Lee Huijuan and Li Hui-Lan sitting in their seats, apart from the shock on their faces, there was also shock. More importantly, there was an awkward smile on their faces when they realized what had happened.
"Yo, I was wondering who came back. It turns out that Third Younger Sister, who didn't give Dad a cent for more than two years and did her filial piety, came back." The first sentence that his eldest uncle, Li Da, said with a sneer, immediately began to attack Fann Binn and Lee Huijuan's mother without mercy.
"Li Da, how can you say that about your Third Younger Sister!? What are you doing here? You want to eat my coffin book again? Hmph, let me tell you, even if I die, don't even think about getting a share! Just give up on this idea!" Grandpa stomped his foot and pointed angrily at the two of them." And you, Li Zhong, what? When did you get together with your big brother? "
"Dad, I didn't get together with big brother. I heard from the villagers that there was a limo at home. I wanted to see if there were any relatives here. Who would have thought that I would run over and see? It turns out that it was a poor relative who came home... " Second uncle Li Zhong muttered unhappily. His voice was a little soft. However, everyone heard it very clearly.
"Hmph! I really don't know what sin I committed in my previous life. Why did I have to give birth to two of you who live from the inside out? Heartless beasts! Scram, all of you scram for me!" Grandfather's anger surged and his body suddenly swayed. It scared Lee Huijuan and Li Huilan so much that the two sisters quickly went forward to support him.
