“But this is too much! No matter what, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were adopted! Don’t you think that rich family is st*pid? They’re treating those two children too well!”

“Doesn’t everyone know that Dafu is kind… but st*pid?” Someone laughed.

“Yes, yes.” The others also laughed. “Xue Da is the same. He dotes on Xue Yan and Jiang Yue as if they were his. Dafu is indeed Xue Da’s biological son.”

Everyone laughed even more.

“How much money do you think the rich family has left?” Wang Sufen suddenly said with a smile. She even swallowed her saliva, obviously drooling.

“Who knows? Even if they had it, they might not have much left.”

“I think that there might not be much left too. It’s amazing how much they saved. It’s also because everyone in the family worked hard and saved so much that they could spend that much money. The house hasn’t been built yet. The money saved was probably meant to support Xue Yan’s education. You know how expensive it is to study. Otherwise, all of our families would have sent our children to the town to study. It’s just that I didn’t expect Xue Yan to quit school and come back to the farm to be a farmer. Now that Xue Yan and Jiang Yue want to work on the barren land to see what they can grow, Dafu and the others have taken out almost all their money to pamper them.”

“It doesn’t matter how much they have left. Their family has several acres of land. Just this alone is much better than ours. If they really need the money, they can just sell one acre of land.”

“Yes, yes, yes. This can be considered the family’s property.”

Wang Sufen didn’t say anything after hearing this. She just rolled her eyes secretly. No one knew what she was thinking.

…

When dinner was almost finished, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other and told their family that they wanted to ask Chunmei to buy some watermelon seedlings.

Xue Dafu and the others had no objections.

Liu Guixia smiled. “Wait a moment. I’ll take the money and go with you to Chunmei’s house. I’ll ask her to buy it for you tomorrow.”

“Thank you, mother.”

“Thank you, aunty.”

Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both expressed their thanks.

After dinner, Liu Guixia put down her bowl and chopsticks and went to the room to get money.

Liu Guixia didn’t plan to touch the 100 coins that Xue Yan had. Therefore, after coming out of the room, she directly gave Xue Yan 200 coins.

Liu Guixia also had some money in her hands, and she split half of it between Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu. “I heard that there’s a pig in the Chen family. Go buy some pork tomorrow and accompany your wife back to her parent’s house. Then buy something else. This money should be enough.”

Li Hehua was very surprised.

Yu Hongyan was also very surprised. After all, she still had an old mother in her family. She actually still wanted to go back and take a look. The last time she went back to her parent’s house, Xue Erfu was too busy to accompany her.

Jiang Yue knew that the Chen family was not far from Locust Village. There was a tofu stall in that village. If they wanted to eat tofu, they had to go to the town to buy it.

As for the pork, they usually bought it from the town.

However, if they encountered someone in the village or nearby village who killed pigs and wanted to sell pork, they naturally did not need to go to town.

“Jiang Yue, let’s go. Come with me and Xue Yan to Chunmei’s house.” Liu Guixia smiled as she held Jiang Yue’s hand and walked out.

Xue Yan followed her.

Chunmei’s house was right next to theirs.

Chunmei usually had a good relationship with their family. The last time Xue Dagui had come to their house to act shamelessly, Chunmei was the one that said outside the courtyard that Xue Dagui had never cared about their family’s hard days and that he had been insatiable time and time again.
