"Dad, it's not that I want to bully people, but they're just too much! You've been deceived by them!" Second Aunt dodged slightly and avoided the apple thrown by Gu Ning.
"How dare you say you haven't bullied anyone, I've heard it all! The house that Mengmeng lives in was bought by me and Xiaoyun, and has nothing to do with you, so don't get any ideas about it. Your brother is getting married and should go out and buy or rent his own place, who does this aunt think she is, forcing her niece to give up her new house? You really have no shame." Gu Ning's chest was heaving up and down, if this were a few years ago when he was in good health, he would have rushed over and taught this unreasonable second daughter-in-law a lesson.
"Dad, you're being too biased! They're all your sons and grandsons, why do they get to take advantage of everything while we don't get anything?" Second Aunt immediately blew her top when she heard this.
"Biased? You're the last person who has no right to say I'm biased! Tell me, how much money have you taken from me over the years? Don't you dare say you didn't use my money to support your own family?! I chose to turn a blind eye and not make a fuss because we're all relatives, but you really think I'm an old fool who can be bullied into anything! What's wrong with you, saying whatever you want?! Get out of here right now, I don't want to see you!"
Gu Mei looked at Er Niang in surprise, Er Niang took Grandpa's money to support her mother's family, she had never heard of it before.
"Dad, you're wronging me. I took the money for Gu Rong and Gu Nan's sake. Now that times are tough, I just want our family to live a little better. Like this time, if we can make that small restaurant work, it'll definitely make some money. But big sister is being stubborn..."
"Let you leave immediately, are you deaf? Money, money, money, that's all you know. Every time you come to the door, it's always about this. If you want money, first return what you borrowed before, otherwise, everything is off the table!" Gu Ning waved her hand impatiently.
"Dad, how can you be like this!" Erniu exclaimed.
"I haven't even let you pay back the money to Xiaoyun yet. During Chinese New Year, didn't you just borrow money from her? At that time, you said it would be repaid in a few days, but now so much time has passed and there's not even any movement on your part." Gu Ning glared fiercely at Erniang.
"This... I have a bit of it in my hands..." Second Aunt hesitated and didn't want to respond to this topic.
"Xiao Jia, it's better this way. You first return the money you borrowed from me, and then I'll have money to lend to you again." Ji Yun proposed.
The second aunt rolled her eyes. If she wanted to return the money, why would she come here and make a fuss?
"If you don't want to pay back the money, then hurry up and leave!" Gu Ning struggled to get up, scaring Gu Mian and Ji Yun into rushing forward to comfort her.
Second Aunt saw that Gu Ning seemed to be really angry, and she was afraid of making Gu Ning even angrier. Moreover, the other party kept asking her to return the money, so she had a mind to retreat.
"Sister-in-law, take good care of dad, I have something to do and will leave first, see you next time." After finishing speaking, the second aunt picked up her bag and quickly walked out of the room.
Ji Yun watched as her sister-in-law walked away, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
"Grandpa, Second Aunt has left, you mustn't get angry." Gu Mian gently patted Grandpa's chest, her eyes filled with worry.
Gu Ning patted Gu Mei's hand and forced a smile: "Mei Mei, don't worry. Your second aunt's temper is well-known to Grandpa. If he had gotten angry with her, he would have been dead many times over by now. This time, just let it go and focus on your own things. Grandpa knows what to do."
"En, then I'll help Grandpa back to his bedroom." Gu Ming nodded obediently and helped Grandpa back to the bedroom.
Grandpa said he wasn't angry, but both Gu Mei and Ji Yun could see that Grandpa was still upset inside.
Just then, Gu Mei had just sent Grandpa back to the room and heard Grandpa dialing Second Uncle's phone number, directly scolding him loudly.
Gu Mian was a bit worried about Grandpa and wanted to go take a look, but was pulled back by her mom, Ji Yun: "Don't go over there, your grandpa is upset, it's better for him to vent. It's just pitiful for your second uncle, every time your second aunt causes trouble, your grandpa will scold your second uncle severely."
"That's what he deserves. If it weren't for Second Uncle's consent, Second Aunt wouldn't have dared to come over and do this, no matter how unreasonable she was." Gu Mei curled her lip in disdain.
One sings red face, one sings white face, these two uncles are not really that useless.
"Alright, that's your elder after all, let's not talk about it." Ji Yun patted Gu Mian's hand and continued: "The house thing is also my fault for not handling it well. After all, such things can be hidden for a while but not forever. It was selfish of mom."
"Mom is selfish for me, but if we really talk about selfishness, no one in our family can compare to Erniang." Gu Mian smiled slightly.
"Just don't say anything, keep your mouth shut. If your aunt hears about it, there will be more trouble. Don't worry about the house, Mom won't agree to it no matter what. Some things can be compromised on, but some things cannot. Your mom is not someone who can be easily bullied." Ji Yun pinched Gu Mei's nose.
"Every family has its own difficult-to-recite scriptures, and Second Aunt is also our relative, even if she's out of tune. Can't say anything, can't scold her, it's really embarrassing." Gu Mian spread his hands.
"Your second aunt is just a bit greedy, but actually she doesn't have any ill intentions. Otherwise, your grandfather wouldn't have tolerated her all this time. It's just that this time she went too far and it's good for her to learn a lesson, so she won't become more and more out of line." Ji Yun shook her head.
"Are we still lending money to Auntie Er, didn't she say she wanted to open that small restaurant?" Gu Mian asked.
"You little rascal, just take care of yourself. Doing business is not that simple, your aunt is always like this, listening to people say what makes money and going for it, but she needs to change. The location of her clothing store is good, if she waits a bit, someone will definitely top it, it's just that she's too impatient." Ji Yun pushed Gu Mian towards the bathroom: "Look at you coming back all sweaty, you must have rushed on the road, hurry up and take a bath, we'll eat later."
"Yes." Gu Mei smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that it was probably not Erniang being too hasty, but rather seizing the opportunity to come over and get a share.
Sitting in the back seat of the car, Zou Kai looked at Tang Ming, who had a sleepy expression, and curiously asked: "This rhinoceros horn cup for 1.8 million must be expensive, how did you simply buy it? It doesn't seem like your style."
Tang Ming slightly opened his eyes and gave Zou Kai a sly smile: "Anyway, it's not my money that's being spent, I don't care."
"Whose money is this?" Zou Kai asked.
"Of course, it's the money of a scapegoat. Who do you think I am? You also saw that miss in the Jibao Mountain house, she took me as a fat sheep, if I don't follow her will, wouldn't it be too unmeaningful?" Tang Ming twisted his somewhat stiff neck, and lit up a cigarette, taking a hard drag.
Zou Kai raised an eyebrow: "Ming Shao will also have such a kind heart at times, it's really surprising."
Tang Ming smiled: "I'm kind-hearted most of the time, it's just a matter of who I'm dealing with. Given that she can judge things wrongly about you, I should be kind to her as long as conditions permit."
In the evening, Du Hao returned home and saw his wife waiting for him with a table full of delicious dishes.
"How is it, Uncle Zhang? Does he like what we've prepared?" Qiao Qingya considerately helped Du Hao take off his outerwear and asked with concern.
Du Hao nodded: "Although it's not very obvious, I think you should be quite fond of it. Qing Ya, this time you've helped me a lot, before that I tried every means but couldn't succeed, it turned out that I didn't find the key point."
"Few people outside know that Zhang Bobo likes to collect rhinoceros horn cups, and I also knew it when I was a kid playing at Zhang Bobo's house." Qiao Qingya led Du Hao to the dinner table and served him a bowl of soup: "You're always busy with social events outside, drinking more soup is good for your body."
"I've transferred 210,000 yuan to your account, take a look when you have time." Du Hao blew on the hot steam of his soup and took a small sip.
"Why are you transferring money to me?" Qiao Qingya's eyes sparkled as she gave Du Hao a gentle glare.
"One code for one code, the rhinoceros horn cup was bought to be given away, how could I let my wife use it to supplement her own private house? Of course, it's going on the company account. Otherwise, if my mom finds out, she'll scold me for several days." Du Hao reached out and grasped Qiao Qingya's hand: "You weren't saying you wanted to go shopping? Tomorrow is just right, I'll accompany you."
"Uh-huh." Qiao Qingya's mood suddenly improved, and a happy smile spread across her face: "This time I have to thank Ming Shao, originally I was going to go take a look at the house on Jibao Mountain, but he directly bought it and had it sent over."
Du Hao was taken aback and looked at Qiao Qingya thoughtfully: "Is that the Tang Ming we saw at the bar last time?"
"It was him." Qiao Qingya nodded: "My mother and Tang Ming's mother are good friends, although we don't meet as often now, but the connection has never been broken. This time it was Auntie who asked Tang Ming to do it."
"Ming Shao had met this person a few times before, but was never too familiar with him. Later he went abroad and I knew even less about him." Du Hao glanced at Qiao Qingya unintentionally.
Qiao Qingya didn't notice Du Hao's actions, and while serving him food, she said: "This Ming Shao looks quite unruly, but it's actually not that easy to get close to."
"Oh." Du Hao responded with a single word and stopped talking. After simply eating some dishes, he excused himself to return to his study room on the pretext of having something to do.
Qiao Qingya looked at the remaining dishes and served herself a bowl of soup, quietly drinking it down.
