Chapter 352: Going to the Yuan Residence
The couple packed up and brought some dried eggplants to the Yuan residence.
“Oh, I was wondering who was here. It’s my aunt and uncle. You made me lose face in front of the villagers. Are you here to apologize to me with two bags of dried eggplants?”
As soon as he entered the yard, Yuan Peng was counting the goods at home. When he saw the two of them, he did not look good either.
“Yuan Peng, What are you talking about? We didn’t want to do that. Now, my end is worse than yours. Why are you sitting here and making sarcastic remarks?”
Yun Gang was very emotional and almost quarreled with Yuan Peng. Liu Fang saw that this was not her original intention, so she quickly pulled Yun Gang back and put on a smiling face.
“Let’s not talk about the past. I came to your house this time because I have good news.”
“Your family is in such a state now. I’m afraid you didn’t come to our house to take advantage of us, right? What good news can you come to our house for?”
Yuan Peng’s face was especially realistic. When the person in front of him was useful, he would flatter and curry favor with the person in front of him. If they were useless, he would add insult to injury.
To him, the most important thing was profit. If they did not have the value of profit that he could squeeze out, then these people were no different from passers-by.
“I know that you’ve always had a foolish elder brother. It’s a worry for your parents. Moreover, your parents have always wanted to find a considerate wife for your elder brother to spend the rest of his life with.”
Liu Fang picked up the topic and began to chat.
“That foolish elder brother of mine is a matter that everyone in the entire village knows about. However, my parents have high aspirations, and those girls from ordinary families don’t take a fancy to him. Of course, those girls from rich families don’t care about our family’s small amount of money. Beautiful girls can earn a lot of money on their own. Why should they marry a fool from a rich family?”
Yuan Peng shook his head, his words were full of ridicule for this foolish big brother. He was such a foolish person, but when his parents would pass away, would still want to take a third of his family’s assets.
......“I know about this matter. Your parents don’t want to mistreat your big brother, but no other girls are willing to mistreat themselves. Moreover, you guys have some misgivings when he marries other girls. However, I have a daughter in my family, and she is now at the age of marriage, which is also suitable for your big brother’s age. Moreover, there are relatives in our two families. Won’t that mean that we’ll be even closer? Are you still afraid that your aunt’s daughter won’t treat your big brother well?”
Liu Fang said a lot of words in one breath and kept observing Yuan Peng’s expression.
To be honest, Yuan Peng did not want his stupid big brother to get married. Although his big brother was stupid, he was still a normal man in terms of physiology. If he really found a caring wife, after giving birth to a child, he would probably be able to get more of the family’s property.
Now, his parents divided the family’s property into three because of his stupidity, so that his big brother could have a third of it in the future. He only got two-thirds of that. If his big brother and another woman gave birth to a child, then, would he not have to take away another portion of the assets?
“You must have some bad ideas in your hearts. Hurry up and leave. Don’t have any ideas of getting closer to our family.”
Yuan Peng quickly chased them away. His tone had changed from arrogance to anxiety.
“Hey, is what you said true?”
Just as the few of them thought that there was no hope of getting closer to their family, a wealthy woman walked out of the room.
It was Yuan Peng’s mother!
“Of course it’s true,” Yun Gang replied loudly.
“I’ve seen your adopted daughter before. She’s slim and graceful. If she’s willing to marry her to my son, I guarantee that I won’t mistreat this little girl.”
The situation changed. Yuan Peng’s mother’s appearance once again changed Yun Lian’s life trajectory.
