Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time! - Chapter 144
Chapter 144: Free Meals
The next day at noon, Ye Jun brought Ye Yao to the Yun family as expected.
Ye Jun did not come here bare-handed. When he came, he specially brought two bottles of wine. Although he was the benefactor, when he rushed over as a guest, he would always bring some presentable gifts.
“You have helped us so much, and you are also considered our benefactors. We should be the ones thanking you! Why did you even bring gifts? This makes us feel very embarrassed.”
Chen Li saw the two figures and quickly went out to welcome them. She did not forget to say some very polite greetings.
“This is not an expensive gift, so we brought it over. It’s just nice to drink it with everyone while we eat.” Ye Jun replied.
This scene was clearly seen by Yun Lian, who was standing at the door of the large room.
She was initially very happy when she heard the news that Yun Shan had been dismissed from his post yesterday. The good things in this world could not just be happening to Yun Shan’s family, right? Therefore, Yun Lian was genuinely happy when she saw Yun Xi’s family suffer,
However, her happiness did not last long. Yun Shan’s family was even inviting guests over? They even prepared stewed chicken, fried some expensive vegetables, and took out the cured bacon that Zhou Lin had given to their family before he left. Yun Lian’s heart was filled with envy.
The Old Lady was also disturbed by their small talk. She poked her head out of the door and looked in their direction.
The Old Lady and Yun Lian’s eyes met, and they instantly understood each other’s thoughts.
The Old Lady staggered to Yun Lian’s side and saw the thoughts of her beloved granddaughter in her eyes.
“Lian Lian, do you also want to eat stewed chicken and bacon?”
Yun Lian never hides anything from her grandmother. It was also the only time when she could be herself.
Yun Lian nodded her head without any hesitation and admitted her little thoughts.
“Come. Support grandmother. Grandmother will bring you to Yun Shan’s family to get a free meal.”
In fact, the Old Lady had always had the idea of using Yun Shan’s family to support and increase Yun Gang’s family wealth. However, the Zhou Family was on good terms with Yun Shan’s family, and the Old Master of the Yun family was also trying to stop her. The Old Lady had the intention, but she did not have the strength.
After all, the Old Lady still did not dare to disobey the Old Master.
Yesterday, the Old Lady had also heard some of the news that had happened in recent days. When she first heard that Yun Shan had lost his job, the Old Lady was still shocked.
However, the Old Lady was not worried about the life and death of Yun Shan’s family. Instead, she was afraid that they would not be able to support themselves in the future, and might not be able to provide the old couple with the food they needed to support their old age. Yun Gang’s family was still the most capable.
However, when she heard that Yun Shan’s family had actually been given a large and very fertile piece of land, she dispelled this little thought in her heart. She even started to think about this piece of land.
However, the most important thing right now was to get this free meal from them.
Ye Jun had just stepped into the house when the Old Lady pushed open the door.
“Why is my son’s life so miserable? When mother heard that you were dismissed from your current position, I specially came over to comfort you.”
Yun Xi was near the pot and was prepared to bring out the last dish from the stove. When she turned around, she saw the Old Lady and Yun Lian behind her while they pretentiously said some comforting words.
Yun Xi could not help but sneer in her heart. If the Old Lady really had the intention to comfort people, she would have come over last night. Why did she have to wait until now?
Since she even brought Yun Lian to the door, she must be up to no good.
“Mom, it’s nothing. I’ve already thought it through. Anyway, there are still plenty of opportunities for work. At worst, I can still find another job. I don’t feel as bad as yesterday.”
Yun Shan’s words were sincere. He thought that the Old Lady was really here to comfort him. After all, how could a child doubt his mother?
“It’s good that you’re fine. You have guests and you are having your meal, so I won’t disturb you for now.”
The Old Lady said that she would not disturb, but her walking speed was especially slow as if she was waiting for something.
