Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Your Hearts Are Really Ruthless

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Now that you see there’s profit to be made, you’re cozying up again, and in such a manner. Have you no shame? With a mother-in-law like you, I doubt any girl would dare to marry your son."

Bai Sulì was furiously infuriated, her eyes flashing with fury as she cursed, "At least I am the daughter-in-law of her own son. And who are you? Interfering in others’ affairs—surely you’re not also trying to swindle money from the two old folks?"

Luo Qiao couldn’t help but let out a burst of laughter, "Everyone heard that, didn’t they? She just said it, trying to swindle money from the old couple."

Then, the onlookers began to talk at once, not forgetting to point fingers and comment on Bai Sulì, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yang Family—there were all sorts of remarks.

Back then, when trouble struck, the siblings did not consider standing together. Instead, they chose to sever ties with their parents to protect themselves, all at the same time.

It was their good fortune to have met Old Master Yuan at the farm; that allowed them to settle down. During all those years at the farm, the three siblings never once reached out to their parents.

Since moving back to the Capital, the three families had never had a moment’s peace, all because of the retroactively paid wages that led them to create havoc every few days. But for the Yang couple, their hearts had been deeply hurt.

The couple had thought about making a clean break from their children, but before they could take action, the siblings went ahead and published the notice.

Having had no contact for over a decade, upon the parents’ settled return to the Capital, the children and grandchildren came knocking, hoping to be recognized as relatives.

Hoping the old couple would forgive them for the sake of their grandchildren, the couple had long decided that it would be more meaningful to use the money for charity. Hence, after repeated visits, they made it clear that the money would go to charity, not to them.

Today, fearing that the old man had gone out early to donate the money and desperately worried that if he hadn’t yet, the fortune could slip into the hands of the other two families, the eldest son’s family rushed over, resorting to threats and temptations for the sake of that sum.

Bai Sulì wanted to argue further, but suddenly she heard someone outside say, "Professor Yang has returned."

The crowd automatically made way, and there was Yang Jiancheng, walking in with several government officials.

On entering the yard and seeing the current state of affairs, he sighed deeply, feeling even more disappointed with his eldest son.

Glancing at the onlookers, he said, "Since our neighbors are here today, you can all witness for me. My siblings and I had severed ties with our parents years ago through an announcement in the paper, and we had no intention of acknowledging them again."

"These comrades beside me are from the government departments. I brought them home today to donate the compensation the state had given us, excluding the money needed for resettlement, the remainder will be donated in full."

"It will go towards helping lonely elderly people and children who cannot afford education in the city, better than having unrest at home every day and disturbing our neighbors. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience before."

Having said his piece, he walked into the house and brought out a briefcase, then before the crowd, handed over the money to the government officials for counting.

At this, the hearts of the eldest son’s family of the Yang Family were bleeding. That was fifteen thousand yuan! Bai Sulì, as if gone mad, shook off the hand of her eldest daughter Yang Zining, who was trying to hold her back, and dashed forward, trying to snatch the money.

Two plainclothes officers were guarding the area. Bai Sulì, driven to frenzy, shouted, "You two decrepit old fools, not even considering your own son and grandson’s hardships, so bent on donating all this money! Your eldest grandson isn’t even married yet, and your hearts are truly cruel."

"If you donate all this money today, don’t expect us to care for you in your old age or to handle your funerals. Let your bodies lie unclaimed after you die, rotting away in this yard. Just don’t blame us for being unfilial then."
