Ch 186: Offering Advice
While his parents are fighting, their son Xiang Bao turns a blind eye and buries himself in his porridge.
The porridge isn’t tasty; there isn’t even a single green vegetable in it. Xiang Bao really looks down on it. However, he’s hungry, so he has no choice but to eat it.
Xiang Hua and Lu Yu are cursing and fighting, pulling each other’s hair and hitting each other’s faces, looking quite disheveled. Xiang Bao doesn’t even glance at them, finishing bowl after bowl of porridge.
In fact, Xiang Bao thinks they should be fighting! They can’t even earn enough money to buy meat; they deserve to be beaten! He hasn’t eaten meat in a long time and has gotten thinner from hunger. What’s the use of having such incompetent parents?
Xiang Bao suddenly misses Xiang Zhihang ! When that adopted Brother Zhihang was still at home, he often had meat to eat. As soon as he left, his quality of life plummeted. It would be better to not have parents and just bring back that adopted big brother.
Xiang Hua and Lu Yu are still fighting and can’t stop. Until they hear someone clearing their throat several times.
“Uncle, Auntie.” Yao Lin stands to the side, coughing awkwardly several times. She didn’t want to say anything at first, but she’s been here for a while, and the two of them are so busy fighting that they don’t even see her.
Left with no choice, Yao Lin has to speak up to remind them of her presence.
Xiang Hua and Lu Yu are still enjoying their fight. However, since there’s an outsider present, they have to stop.
Yao Lin glances at the two of them; their clothes are disheveled, their hair is messy, and their faces and arms are injured to varying degrees.
Yao Lin has seen couples argue before. But she’s never seen them tearing at each other like this. Looking at their disheveled appearance, Yao Lin feels nothing but contempt in her heart. If she wasn’t using them to ruin Du Qingyang’s plans, she wouldn’t want to associate with such uncouth people.
Yao Lin looks down on Xiang Hua and Lu Yu , and they look down on Yao Lin too.
“What are you doing here?” Lu Yu asks rudely.
The ideas that Yao Lin gives them never work. They don’t give Yao Lin any face.
Moreover, the two of them haven’t finished their fight and haven’t vented all their anger yet, so Yao Lin’s sudden appearance is infuriating!
“Auntie, I’m here to help you.” Yao Lin is very skilled at playing the obedient role; the moment she opens her mouth, she embodies the image of a well-behaved girl.
However, Lu Yu isn’t fooled by this act and simply rolls her eyes.
If Yao Lin’s help was useful, they wouldn’t be drinking plain porridge right now.
Ignored by Lu Yu , Yao Lin is displeased. However, she still doesn’t show it on her face, suppressing her inner dissatisfaction and turning to Xiang Hua , she says, “Uncle, I really came to help you. I’ve thought of a good way to make Xiang Zhihang come back and beg you!”
Xiang Hua and Lu Yu are stunned. Xiang Bao also puts down his bowl and turns to look.
Xiang Zhihang would come back and beg them? How is that possible? The current Xiang Zhihang is already a big boss; he’s no longer the abandoned little kid who had to live under someone else’s roof.
After a moment, Xiang Hua and Lu Yu come back to their senses and scoff, not believing Yao Lin’s words at all. Xiang Bao also turns back to continue drinking his porridge; he’s already had five bowls.
“Leave, we don’t have time to deal with you.” Xiang Hua waves his hand to shoo Yao Lin away, then walks over to Xiang Bao , sits down next to him, and takes a bowl to fill with porridge.
Although the porridge isn’t tasty, he still needs to put something in his stomach. He might as well accept reality.
Lu Yu also stops talking and sits down next to the two men, filling her own bowl with porridge.
Yao Lin frowns and bites her lip. She hasn’t finished speaking yet; what’s with the Xiang Family’s attitude? Yao Lin really wants to turn around and leave. But she doesn’t! The thought of Du Qingyang’s current smooth sailing makes her endure the Xiang Family’s temper!
What relationship do the Xiang Family have with Du Qingyang ?
They don’t have a direct relationship, but they do have an indirect one!
Attacking Xiang Zhihang is the same as indirectly attacking Du Qingyang !
So, Yao Lin takes two steps forward and says coldly, “If you don’t want to seize Xiang Zhihang’s money, then I’ll leave.”
Yao Lin is saying this to provoke the Xiang Family, to make them change their attitude and come back to beg her. That way, she can save face.
Unexpectedly, the Xiang Family acts as if they didn’t hear her, completely ignoring Yao Lin .
◈◈◈
Of course, the Xiang Family wants to seize Xiang Zhihang’s money, but they can’t! Recalling the last time at the Zhi Hang Qian Li Store, they were almost beaten up, so Xiang Hua and Lu Yu are still wary.
Xiang Zhihang has long abandoned any familial affection; he’s a heartless fellow!
The Xiang Family continues to lower their heads and drink porridge, acting as if Yao Lin is invisible.
Yao Lin is so angry that she grinds her teeth, but she can’t lose her temper.
After a long while, Yao Lin comes to terms with herself, takes the initiative to swallow her pride, and returns to her obedient demeanor, saying to the Xiang Family, “Uncle, Auntie, I really thought of a good idea; why don’t you listen to it?”
No one responds.
Lu Yu rubs her ears, looking displeased. Why hasn’t this girl left yet? How can her skin be so thick? So annoying!
Yao Lin feels extremely wronged.
However, Yao Lin still doesn’t leave, but instead begins to speak incessantly.
Never mind, she’ll just say her idea first; whether the Xiang Family listens or not is another matter.
“Xiang Zhihang is going to open a Food Factory; the opening ceremony is scheduled for three days from now.” Yao Lin pays close attention to Du Qingyang , and she also pays attention to the people around Du Qingyang .
Xiang Zhihang originally didn’t plan to hold any opening ceremony. However, Du Qingyang said that life should have a sense of ritual. Of course, Xiang Zhihang listens to Du Qingyang’s words!
So, Xiang Zhihang decided to hold a relatively grand opening ceremony!
The Xiang Family’s nerves are touched. That brat is opening a factory? How much money does he have?
They can’t drink the porridge anymore; they’re already full, full of resentment! The Xiang Family simultaneously puts down their bowls and chopsticks, glaring at Yao Lin . Why did she have to tell them this news? They’re not happy!
Yao Lin ignores the Xiang Family’s anger and continues to speak.
“From what I understand, there will be reporters interviewing at the opening.”
“Because this is the first Food Factory in Dong Town, it’s receiving a lot of attention!”
“I heard that even the Town Leader will be there!”
Xiang Zhihang’s Food Factory is located in Dong Town. Not only is it the first Food Factory in Dong Town, but it’s also the first factory in Dong Town!
Originally, there weren’t any factories in Dong Town. It’s hard not to attract attention.
The better Xiang Zhihang lives, the more the Xiang Family hates him, hating him so much that they grind their teeth.
“Enough, don’t say anymore!” Xiang Hua slams the table and stands up. Xiang Zhihang has nothing to do with them anymore, is she saying all this to provoke them?
Unexpectedly, Yao Lin retorts, “I will say it! This is your last chance to take back your property!”
Yao Lin tells the Xiang Family that half of the money Xiang Zhihang earns should be given to the Xiang Family, that half of Xiang Zhihang’s property belongs to the Xiang Family.
Of course, they have to take back the property that belongs to them.
The Xiang Family has heard similar words from Yao Lin many times. But they just can’t take it back; it’s useless no matter how nice the words sound!
“I’ll give you a plan. This time, it will definitely work!” This time, Yao Lin pats her chest and guarantees it.
