The Blessed Beauty Returns with a Dimension-Chapter 21 Stingy

Fang Zhiyuan is also at his wit’s end.

The street committee came again.

They made it clear that if the names of the children going to the countryside aren’t submitted soon, they will just write one directly.

Decision-making isn’t in their hands now, so they better think it through.

After a lot of persuasion and talking, they managed to get them to leave.

But the couple is really worried.

What are they going to do?

Fang Zhiyuan stood up, "Where are you going?"

asked Ye Hua.

"I’m going to find my brother and sister-in-law! We’ll discuss what to do! If we go ourselves, they won’t listen! But my sister-in-law is really nice and good at talking, she might help. We’ve already caused a rift, going again would be fruitless! But we can’t wait any longer for our son.

Let’s see if my brother and sister-in-law can persuade them."

Fang Zhiyuan naturally knows what his brother is like, a good-natured person who won’t ignore this issue.

Ye Hua is anxious.

"No! You can’t go!"

Fang Zhiyuan is taken aback, "Why can’t I go? Do you have a way to keep Pei Zhong from going to the countryside?"

Ye Hua makes a bitter face, "I don’t have a way, but isn’t this just letting my brother and sister-in-law laugh at us! You know it! My sister-in-law and I don’t get along, she looks down on me! I look down on her too. If you go begging them, it’s just smacking our own face.

I won’t let you go. Can’t we think of another way? I don’t believe that country girl really doesn’t want to recognize us! Next time I will bring new clothes and the branded watch from home! I don’t believe she won’t be tempted."

Ye Hua says defiantly!

The watch is indeed at home, but it’s for Fang Xiaohui’s dowry.

After all, Fang Xiaohui is marrying into the Song family.

If things aren’t respectable, it’s not their Fang family’s face that gets embarrassed.

But right now, there’s no time for that.

First, get Jiang Xiaoxiao back and then talk.

Fang Zhiyuan glares, "Stop playing your little tricks, if she was interested in our assets, she would have clung to you when she saw your four-pocket clothes, but now she doesn’t even believe you are her birth mother. Even if you offered a mountain of gold, she won’t recognize you.

And you have the nerve to say this! That your own daughter doesn’t recognize you. I’m warning you, if you keep messing around, I’ll deal with you. I’ve made up my mind, I’ll go find my brother, have my sister-in-law see if she can talk to them."

He knows exactly what’s on his wife’s mind.

It’s just because back when their parents were enjoying good times, his brother and sister-in-law enjoyed some of it too, being a full round—twelve years—older than him. By the time he got married, the family had been swept up in a movement, and there wasn’t anything valuable left! They had to suffer too, and Ye Hua just wasn’t happy about it.

It’s been over ten years, yet she’s still so petty.

Luckily, his sister-in-law is magnanimous! Otherwise, the household would have been a mess.

Even his parents can’t stand Ye Hua!

It’s all because Ye Hua often compares herself with her sister-in-law.

Fang Zhiyuan gets up and leaves.

Ye Hua sits there, daydreaming, what to do?

What to do?

Fang Xiaohui timidly comes out, "Mom, I want to visit the Song family! Grandma Song is going to the farm to see Grandpa Song in a few days, not visiting would be inappropriate."

She’s been anxious lately too; this household is becoming more and more stifling.

She’s not stupid; she can tell Ye Hua hasn’t sent her back home.

It’s because she has utilitarian value.

If it wasn’t for the Song family backing her, Ye Hua would have thrown her back already.

Could she have kept her here?

Ye Hua gets enraged hearing this.

"Fine! You know! Go, keep your words sweet, the old lady likes you! That’s the only way you can smoothly enter the Song family; otherwise, you know, you should be back at that home! If I hadn’t been your mother all these years! If I hadn’t been unwilling to send you back, you’d have returned to that poor family already, haven’t you seen how destitute it is!

You must cherish your good fortune, otherwise even I can’t save you."

There’s a hint of superiority in her words, as if she’s doing Xiao Hui a big favor.

Fang Xiaohui gives a faint response, "Mom! I know, I will be grateful for the kindness from you and dad, I know what to do, I’ll repay both of you in the future."

Her show of gratitude immediately pleases Ye Hua; even though she isn’t particularly nice to Fang Xiaohui.

But she knows that if Fang Xiaohui marries into the Song family, her family would certainly benefit.

Grandpa Song is a renowned veteran hero.

Though he’s at the farm now, it’s not like he’s being sent down; he’s there to hold power and serve as an official.

It’s different from their situation.

After a few years, when they come back to Capital City, it would be a different story.

"You know it! Then hurry up and go!"

Ye Hua feels much more at ease; as long as this adopted daughter can speak in the Song family, her son won’t have to worry about job arrangements.

All she’s done is for her children to have a good future.

The Fang family’s possessions will be theirs.

No one can take them away.

Fang Xiaohui awkwardly stands, but doesn’t leave! Clutching the hem of her clothes, feeling the frustration inside.

She is told to leave! Without considering how she can’t go empty-handed to Grandma Song visiting the countryside.

If she had the money! She wouldn’t be in such a bind.

Empty words.

Ye Hua is tight-fisted.

She’s been generous to her eldest sister and second brother, but stingy towards her.

She even suspects Ye Hua might already know she’s not her biological daughter; otherwise, how could she treat them so differently?

But how could Ye Hua know?

"What do you want? Is there anything else?"

Ye Hua can’t stand Fang Xiaohui’s petty demeanor.

Unpresentable.

No matter how she is taught! In the end, upbringing decides everything.

What could come out of such a family?

Ye Hua has always felt proud of her own upbringing, and looks down on everyone.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been at odds with her sister-in-law.

"Mom, I can’t go empty-handed. Grandma Song is going to see Old Song, I have to bring something, right?"

Tugging the edge of her clothes uneasily, feeling bitter inside.

This Ye Hua truly is sweet on the outside and bitter on the inside, always pretending to be friendly and close with everyone.

Only her close ones know that Ye Hua is no good.

She’s the best at putting on a show.

Ye Hua frowns, "You’re always asking for money; look at you, always at home doing nothing, yet needing to spend money. It’s truly a debt from my past life. Here! This is two dollars, take it and buy some malted milk or baby formula.

Don’t let the Song family be picky."

Fang Xiaohui is speechless, what can two dollars buy?

Buying malted milk means not buying anything else.

And being told not to let them be picky.

Truly stingy.

She doesn’t even understand that you can’t catch wolves without sacrificing lambs.

But what can she do?

Fang Xiaohui turns around and leaves.

Decides to go to grandma’s house.

Her uncle and grandparents live together.

Right now, they don’t know Fang Xiaohui isn’t the Fang family’s child; Fang Xiaohui decides to play the time card.

Right now, go to Grandpa and ask for some money.

Otherwise, just buying malted milk won’t cut it.
