Chapter 268 - Thinking About the Gift Money

“How are we going to live like this? They took away everything in the house. Are we going to have a good time in the future?”

Liu Fang still did not want to believe that her jewelry box was gone. She squatted on the ground and began to cry softly. She cried for the loss of her beloved jewelry box, and also for the road that she would not be able to see in the future.

“Why are you crying? Why is there no way to live? Didn’t their family send us money?”

Yun Gang scolded Liu Fang angrily.

Liu Fang was confused.

Was she a fool as the head of the household? These people were clearly here to collect debts. How did they become money-givers? Was it really because life had forced him to a dead end? Were they now beginning to use self-comforting and self-hypnosis to make themselves happy?

“Did you notice what Yun Yang said?”

Yun gang asked.

Yun Yang?!

This child was even younger than Yun Lang. Liu Fang had never taken him seriously from the start. She had only treated him as a small lackey of Yun Xi and listened to his cunning sister’s every command.

“Yun Yang said that Chen Li is pregnant. Isn’t this a great opportunity for us?”

Yun Gang had already started to make plans in his heart.

“Chen Li being pregnant is a good thing for her. What does it have to do with our family?” Liu Fang’s brain had yet to react. What was Yun Gang talking about?

“Chen Li being pregnant is also a good thing for the entire Yun family. In the past, when anyone had something to do, wouldn’t they have to hold a banquet and receive gifts? We can use the fact that Chen Li is pregnant to set up a few a party at home and let some of our relatives and neighbors get us some gifts. After deducting these gifts, we will definitely be able to leave some money for the banquet. Won’t our family be able to turn the tables for the time being?!”

Yun Gang looked at Liu Fang with a silly expression.

The corners of Liu Fang’s mouth gradually curled up. This was indeed a good idea.

“Alright, I’ll go and prepare this matter now.” Although Liu Fang’s family was in decline, she still had a few close friends in the village who could help her greet these neighbors.

“Good, good, good. There’s delicious food.”

Although Yun Lang did not understand what the adults in his family were planning, he was almost nine years old, so he could understand what the adults were saying about preparing for the banquet. Thinking back to the time when he went to other people’s houses with Liu Fang to receive gifts, Yun Lang did not know that he had to spend money to go. He only knew that he could eat pork knuckles at the banquet, and eat some delicious food that he could not even eat before.

Now that his own family was going to organize a banquet, they were naturally dancing with joy.

Yun Xi’s family still sat in the jeep that they came in and returned to the county town. Although it was the time of summer and autumn for socializing, the weather was still very hot and stuffy. Zhou Lin opened the window of the car thoughtfully. While welcoming in the cool breeze, he also welcomed in the ‘gossip’ of some gossipy women in the village.

“You said that the Yun family is considered a pretty good family in our village. These children are living quite comfortably. Moreover, their eldest brother used to be very promising. But now, the tides are really turning! Now, the third son’s life is really superior to that of the people in our village. He even has a car now, and he even went to live in the city. It’s really like the saying goes, the river flows east for thirty years, and the river flows west for thirty years.”

“Exactly. Their son-in-law is one of the most important people in the village. His youngest son is so young, but he has already started to learn medical skills from the famous doctors in the county and become an apprentice. This family will be able to live a better life in the future.”

There was bitterness in the tone of these people, but more than that, there was envy.

Hearing the comments of these people in the village, Yun Shan was very happy. Previously, he was already used to being overpowered by his big brother. Now, the situation had reversed. He felt that this feeling of being superior to others was also very good.
