Chapter 408

Hu Tian spread his hands and turned to leave.

His abrupt departure left everyone stunned. "Brother Hu, let's talk this over. You're really asking for too much; at least let us consider it for a bit."

Zhou Jiaojiao finished and then glared at Wang Qingqi.

That guy never helped when he was needed. Right now, the most important thing was to see the old man and make sure he wouldn’t implicate the rest of the family.

She was about to go to the provincial capital and didn’t want to ruin the rest of her life at this critical moment.

"I understand what you mean, Jiaojiao, and I’m not afraid to tell you. To be honest, I really don’t like dealing with your family. If it weren't for our friendship, I wouldn’t have bothered coming today!

Last time, when you secretly took the stall I was eyeing, I didn’t want to have anything to do with you.

I only came this time because of you.

Anyway, these are my conditions. If they agree, we can talk; if not, then forget it.

Just pretend I was never here."

Although Hu Tian said this, he didn’t leave.

He came for this deal; the huge benefit was right here.

Speaking of Zhou Jiaojiao, she was the one who intercepted him!

But if he didn’t humor her a little, he’d end up in trouble.

Hu Tian was also frustrated; this situation was really odd. He didn’t know why, but whenever he tried to cause her trouble, he would inexplicably end up unlucky.

After a few unfortunate incidents, he gave up the idea of seeking revenge and instead maintained a relationship with them.

"Brother Hu, I know you care about me." Zhou Jiaojiao was flattered by Hu Tian’s words, her vanity satisfied.

She turned to look at Old Wang’s family. "It’s up to you all to decide."

The decision?

Wang Qingfu fell silent. Did they even have a choice?

It was clear they had to agree, whether they liked it or not.

They couldn’t just not see their father; if they didn’t, he might talk nonsense.

The old man was really self-centered, and if they didn’t go, he might just reveal everything.

"Alright, we agree. The recipe belongs to Fifth Brother's Wife. If Fifth Brother's Wife agrees, our family has no objections." Wang Qingfu agreed, thinking about having to give Zhou Jiaojiao one hundred dollars.

He would only get twenty dollars from the stall.

Wang Qingfu felt even more disheartened, as the money for the stall was pooled together by all of them.

He still owes money out there!

"We agree too," Wang Laosi conceded, though he didn’t like it. Although he really wanted those stalls, even if they were given to him now, he wouldn’t dare to take them.

We must see Dad too.

"Alright, you can’t go with too many people. Pick two to go." Hu Tian smiled again when he saw they agreed.

With only two spots available, the family began scheming.

"It should be me and Old Fifth. Dad loves us the most. If anyone else goes, he might get mad and drag the whole family into trouble."

Wang Qingfu suggested.

Wang Laosi wasn’t happy about it, but thinking that Dad really seemed to dislike him, he fell silent too.

Besides, he didn’t want to take the lead in this kind of matter either.

Watching her husband act so foolishly, Chen Fang felt her stomach churn with anger.

Was Wang Laosi an idiot? Dad might still have some money or other stuff lying around.

If only Old Fifth and Second Brother go, will they even share what they find?

This family was falling apart. Was she, Wang Laosi, really going to end up with nothing?

With only his salary, he still needed to support her and the children in the future.

Money was tight... and they still owed her family!

Her family wasn’t well-off, and they were supposed to be paid back in three months. If not, her mom would come demanding payment.

Chen Fang was anxious to kick him twice, but Wang Laosi didn’t pay any attention to her.

"Alright, do you have a watch at your place? Come to my place at five. Remember to bring everything for me. Once I have it, I’ll take you to see him."

Hu Tian was satisfied. It had to be said, the person who dealt with Old Wang’s family had helped him a lot!

He didn’t know how the other party did it, tricking Zhou Jiaojiao like that. Wasn’t he afraid of bad luck?

No matter what, he was the biggest winner!

Hu Tian left Old Wang’s house with a smile. As soon as the door shut, everyone inside breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Jiaojiao shot a glance at Wang Qingfu, biting back her frustration.

She really wanted to go. In her mind, it should have been her and Qingqi going.

That way, if there was any profit, they could keep it all for themselves.

But Wang Qingfu had a point. If she and Qingqi went, it might backfire with the old man.

This family had taken so much advantage of her and still thought she had cheated them.

They were truly ungrateful.

"Second Brother, Old Fifth, after this is settled, you aren’t planning to just leave, are you? Are you going to leave me and Old Fourth with nothing?

Lately, Old Fourth has been working the hardest and suffering the most in our family."

"Why do you always get all the good stuff?"

Once the door was shut, Chen Fang couldn’t hold back any longer.

These two families were really pushing us around. If she didn’t say something, they might become even more excessive.

Wang Qingfu was taken aback. Shouldn’t this be the case?

Actually, not even Old Fifth should get anything. Everything should be his.

After all, the eldest brother isn’t Dad’s biological son. Logically, he, Wang Qingfu, should be the eldest son of the family.

In the village, when families split up their property, doesn’t everything go to the eldest son, and the parents live with him?

Even though our parents are... gone, these rules shouldn’t change.

It’s just that Old Fifth and the others are being too excessive.

Wang Qingfu thought this in his heart but didn’t say a word.

Lao Si and his wife knew more about the family matters than the third brother’s family.

When the third brother divided the family property, they hadn’t even sorted out their black market business yet.

But Lao Si was different.

Thinking about this, Wang Qingfu put on a hurt expression, as if he’d been wronged. "Lao Si’s wife, you’ve got it all wrong. Isn’t this house meant for you two to live in?

You’re expecting, and wouldn’t it be great for the three of you to live here?

If you think it’s a waste, you can always rent out the spare room.

Lao Si has a job, and when we make it big in the provincial city, if we have connections, we’ll definitely bring you along.

Right now, we’re just temp workers in the provincial city. It’s not as good as being here.

We’re going there to tough it out so that one day, our whole Old Wang’s clan can move to the provincial city."

Wang Qingfu’s words were full of empty promises.

When Wang Laosi heard Wang Qingfu’s words, he thought his wife was meddling too much. He was about to say something to her.

But then he remembered he didn’t dare!

As soon as he saw Chen Fang getting angry, he didn’t dare to say anything.

Chen Fang’s heart stirred after hearing Wang Qingfu’s words.

If this house was really given to her and Lao Si to live in, it would be a great deal.

Moving to the provincial city for a better life? Sure, there are perks, but there are risks too.

"Then shouldn’t the house be transferred to our names as well?" Chen Fang asked Wang Qingfu in return.
