Chapter 240: 083: Full of regrets, green tea_3

Mother Zhao thought that by threatening suicide, Zhao Cuinong would be terrified, but to her surprise, Zhao Cuinong showed no reaction at all.

Mother Zhao’s eyes widened enormously, and then she said, "I’m going to jump off a building!"

"Go ahead," Zhao Cuinong took out her cell phone, "if you jump now, I’ll call my dad right away, so he can come over to see you one last time tonight. After all, you’re already eighty years old; you’ve lived a long life. Some elderly people don’t even make it to your age."

"I, I, I!" Mother Zhao’s face turned red with anger and she began to stammer, "I, I’m going to take poison!"

Zhao Cuinong smiled faintly, "There’s an agricultural trade station near the market, and it hasn’t closed yet! They sell Dichlorvos for 10 yuan a bottle, and if you’re going alone, I’ll call a cab for you."

If her mother were truly daring enough to take poison, Zhao Cuinong would indeed call a cab for her; she was not joking in the slightest.

She detested attention-seeking old people.

Mother Zhao pointed at Zhao Cuinong and stuttered "you" for a while but couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

Her face turned green with rage.

After a few seconds, Mother Zhao stopped paying attention to Zhao Cuinong and turned to walk toward the bedroom.

"Mom, are you going to get money to buy the poison?"

Mother Zhao gritted her teeth, "I’m going to find clothes for a shower!"

Zhao Cuinong bent over and laughed heartily.

Ever since she could remember, her mother had a habit of threatening suicide, and each time Father Zhao was scared silly, complying with whatever Mother Zhao said.

Over time, whenever Mother Zhao encountered anything displeasing, she would resort to death threats.

But Father Zhao was afraid of her.

Zhao Cuinong, however, would not fall for that.

Foolish filial piety is not real respect; it’s ignorance that could potentially lead to the ruin of one’s family.

——

Meanwhile.

At the Sun Family.

Upon returning from her tutorial class, Sun Shanshan heard about the impending demolition in the eastern area.

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

What was important was...

that the highly secretive demolition was somehow anticipated by Lin Wu.

And then there was the matter of buying the shop.

Could Lin Wu really be that astute?

Upon this thought, Sun Shanshan looked at Lin Guimei and asked, "Mom, how did Lin Wu figure out that the eastern side was going to be demolished?"

Lin Guimei’s face was still slightly swollen as she squinted her eyes, "She must have guessed blindly. If she were so sure about the demolition in the east, why didn’t she buy a place there in advance to keep for herself?"

Smart people would have done so upon learning about it.

But Lin Wu would not.

She disdained making a fortune through such means.

And she didn’t want to make enemies.

Lin Guimei always measured others by her own standards, assuming Lin Wu was the same kind of person.

Sun Shanshan felt as though a bottle of vinegar had spilled in her heart, "Her luck is just too good! How does she get everything right?"

Why wasn’t she the one who guessed correctly?

Now the neighbors in their small courtyard praised Lin Wu to the skies, considering her a child prodigy, a little lucky star...

And her?

She was less than a small blade of grass in a corner.

Before Lin Wu arrived, she was the most popular girl in the entire courtyard.

But now.

Everything had changed.

With that despicable Lin Wu around, who could even notice her?

Sun Shanshan bit her lip, "I heard that tonight Grandma Liu and the others even invited Lin Wu to have dinner at Xiao Jiangnan."

That tone.

Was still bitterly jealous.

In Sun Shanshan’s eyes, they should be inviting her to dinner at Xiao Jiangnan, and she should be the one they were trying to please!

Who is Lin Wu?

Lin Wu was just an unwanted wild girl.

A mother knows her daughter best, and Lin Guimei could sense Sun Shanshan’s dissatisfaction, continuing to say, "Shan Shan, no matter how hard she tries, she could never compare to you! We’re about to move to Flower Moon Mansion, and soon we won’t have anything to do with these people here!"

At this, Lin Guimei added, "You are the bright moon in the sky, a talented girl that your father and I have spared no expense to nurture. What about her? Has she ever touched a piano? Does she understand music? Can she dance ballet? So, don’t compare yourself to that kind of person, you’d only be lowering your own value."

Lin Guimei was grateful that she had enrolled her daughter in various art classes in the past.

The tuition was expensive indeed.

But the money was well spent.

Once their family moved to Flower Moon Mansion, and they began meeting important people, perhaps Sun Shanshan might even get to know the children of the powerful and wealthy living in Tang Dynasty Yipin...

How could Sun Shanshan afford to know nothing?

But now Sun Shanshan knew everything, looking even more like the daughter of a wealthy family than an actual heiress, who wouldn’t like a girl like that?

It was clear without thinking.

Her future son-in-law was bound to live in Tang Dynasty Yipin.

Hearing Lin Guimei’s words, Sun Shanshan felt a bit better.
