Miss Yu Decides To Change Her Fate After Being Reborn! - Chapter 388
388 Rich Relative
When Jiang Mo heard this price, her eyes lit up. When did the Wang family have such a rich relative? If someone wanted flour, her family was willing to sell them! Moreover, if they were relatives, they might be able to negotiate the price and ask the other party to give them more. “How much did he want? How much did your family sell?”
Chen Ni extended two fingers. “I saw it clearly. At that time, your father-in-law was holding a thick stack of money!”
In this day and age, the maximum face value of bills was 10 yuan, so one could imagine how valuable 10 yuan was these days.
To be able to take out dozens of bills so casually was quite shocking for ordinary families in the countryside. Moreover, it was an upright person like Mr. Wang.

Jiang Mo’s eyes widened. This time, she could no longer sit still. She stood up to leave, but then she sat back down and whispered into Chen Ni’s ear, “You can’t spread word of this.”
Chen Ni rolled her eyes. “I’m not stupid. I’m telling you because you guys are relatives. This is a speculative matter. Although it’s a relative who wants flour, once it concerns money, things are different. I don’t want to get my in-laws arrested.”
Jiang Mo didn’t care who was arrested as long as she was fine. After receiving Chen Ni’s guarantee, she rushed home.
The moment Jiang Mo entered the house, she saw the Wang family’s second son sitting in the courtyard drinking mulberry wine with a very satisfied expression.
Thinking of how her father-in-law had dragged others to get rich together with him, but how her husband didn’t know anything, Jiang Mo was furious. “You only know how to drink. You might as well just drink yourself to death!”
When the Wang family’s second son saw his wife’s angry expression, he was a little impatient. “Why are you shouting?! I only drink a small cup every day!”
Jiang Mo took a small stool from the side and sat beside her husband. Then, she suppressed her anger and asked patiently, “Think about it carefully. Does your family have any rich relatives you rarely interact with?”
After the Wang family’s second son thought about it, he shook his head and replied firmly, “No!”
Jiang Mo snorted and told him what she had heard from Chen Ni. “Your father hid it so well that he even hid it from his biological son!”
“He didn’t think of you when an opportunity to earn money came. Instead, he thought of those outsiders. I think he resents us for not lending money to Third Brother’s son for treatment. Or he resents us for not adopting that little burden.”
His hand that was holding the wine glass froze. Then, he narrowed his eyes and thought about it. He felt that Jiang Mo’s guess made sense. “There’s no point in my father doing this! That little burden still has to be raised for more than ten years before he becomes an adult, but he wants me to raise him for free without even giving me a house. Dream on! He’s not my son. I have to ask my father about this personally.”
Jiang Mo thought so too, so the husband and wife immediately reached an agreement. Before Jiang Mo left, she saw her youngest son playing with the water at the side. She frowned at her eldest daughter, who was washing clothes, and instructed, “Keep an eye on your brother. If he catches a cold, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
With that, she pulled her husband out of the door.
When the two of them arrived at Chen Ni’s house, Mr. Wang had already left.
The Wang family’s second son looked around but didn’t see his father, so he asked, “Mr. Chen, where did my father go?”
After Mr. Wang glanced at the Wang family’s second son, he slowly raised his pipe to smoke as he replied aloofly, “I don’t know.”
The Wang family’s second son knew that Mr. Chen didn’t like him, so he couldn’t be bothered to stay any longer and left with Jiang Mo.
Mr. Chen’s expression darkened slightly as he shook his head in disdain.
Although he didn’t know why the two of them were looking for Mr. Wang, they were probably up to no good. He really looked down on people who were so cold to their relatives.
After the Wang family’s second son and his wife left, the two of them asked around the village again. Jiang Mo looked at her husband and suggested, “Why don’t we go straight to Third Brother’s house and wait? Your father will eventually come home.”
The Wang family’s second son agreed.
When the two of them arrived at their third brother’s house, they saw that the door wasn’t locked. After the couple exchanged looks, they pushed open the door.
