Chapter 425: Chapter 426: Old Lady Li Visits - Part 5

After seeing off the three visitors, Zhao Mancao’s wife couldn’t help but sigh, sitting nearby, "The Chen Family may well become the richest in our commune!"

"Indeed!" Zhao Mancao agreed, nodding.

He became all the more determined to have his son study and become a worker so that he could succeed and earn big money!

So he called his three sons over, swearing to teach them alphabets and numbers that night.

All three sons went to study, but after a whole day, none of them had fully grasped everything.

He knew that Guibao of the Chen Family learned everything in one go and was praised by Teacher Li in public!

The weather grew warmer, and many people in the commune loved to sit under the hundred-year-old tree in the middle of the village to enjoy the coolness.

As soon as Ma Xiulian and Chen Dazhu arrived, people started chatting animatedly.

"The two of you from old Chen Family are really fortunate! Not only did Jianjun send his salary home every month while he was serving in the army, but now that he’s discharged, he’s planning to build a house for you two - and it’s a brick house! What a dutiful son!"

"Exactly! Not just in our village or commune, even the surrounding communes don’t have a house like that! That’s something you’d see in town; it must be really expensive!"

"A brick house is much better than an earth house - warm in winter and cool in summer. Cleaning is easier too. I wonder if we’ll ever have a chance to live in such a good house!"

Everyone spoke with a touch of envy. They had all seen Chen Jianjun bringing bricks home with the commune’s tractor while working in the field.

Initially when they heard Chen Jianjun had returned with a limp, they felt deeply sorry for him, thinking the youngest son of the Chen family was good for nothing.

They had wondered if any girl would be willing to marry into the family, expecting hardship and poverty. Who knew? Now he’s building a brick house for his elderly parents!

"Your youngest son is really capable!"

Upon hearing this, Helian Qiao immediately puffed up her chest with pride, saying, "My dad is very capable!"

Her dad and Uncle Gu were the toughest humans she’d ever seen - they even dared to go into the mountains to hunt bears for food.

Ma Xiulian was grinning from ear to ear: "Everyone, come and help with the house building tomorrow..."

"Mom, you’ve all finished eating - you should go home now! My mother-in-law will be back soon!" Li Chunhua hurriedly urged them when she saw they were finally done eating.

In her heart, she was hoping that her mother-in-law would come back quickly. She usually wasn’t out this late. Why was she out this long today?!

It seemed like everything was going wrong when that annoying girl was around!

"We’ve split the family already, I’m visiting my daughter’s house. The old hag can’t interfere!"

Old Madam Li had finished eating and drinking and without wiping the grease off her mouth, she started rummaging through the third room of the house. She was talking about Ma Xiulian in a quite irritated manner.

But despite her words, she was a bit nervous in her heart, fearing that harsh woman would really interfere. Thus, she hurried on.

She didn’t spare any place that could hide something, and clothes were scattered all over.

Li Chunhua was angry but didn’t dare to say anything. She could only pick up the things and put them on the bed: "Mom, stop searching. There’s really nothing here!"

Finally, after turning the wardrobe upside-down, Old Madam Li only found a bag of pastries and some candy. She handed them over to her grandsons, looking disappointed and complaining, "Why is there nothing? It’s such a waste raising you. You’re totally useless."

Before, she had perceived the Chen Family to be quite rich, thinking that after the family separation, her third child’s family should also have a decent share.

Who knew that after such a thorough search, she only found these trivial things, not even a single penny!

How could this be possible?!

How could they not share any money at all?!
