But she had only ever overworked her eldest son’s family to help out her second son, she never meant to harm anyone... truly.
However, when she last took people to barge into her eldest son’s home, she almost caused his serious illness to worsen... that’s a fact.
In an instant, she felt a stifling blockage in her heart.
"All I’m saying now is that none of you can go to my eldest son’s family, and whoever dares to... this old woman will not stand for it, and you can forget about getting anything from me ever again."
Rong Wenze was dismissive, how much money could his old mother possibly have in her hands?
Was it just the 300 yuan from the last time? How much more could they squeeze out of her worn-out hide?
Seeing the expression on his face, Grandma Rong knew what he was thinking, "Do you really think all I have is 300 yuan?"
Rong Wenze was shocked, "Mom, you have more than 300 yuan?"
Grandma Rong snorted coldly but remained silent, then she got up and left.
Rong Wenze stood there dumbfounded... did she have the money or not?
Rong Manman, observing the person deep in thought, had a glint in her eye and then whispered:
"Dad, even if grandma does have some money, can it compare to the man Rong Yan married? I heard... that’s the Qin Family, just giving a job to the eldest brother or the second or third brothers would bring glory to our ancestors. Today is a good opportunity..."
Rong Wenze looked up at her, "Do you have your eye on Rong Yan’s man?"
Such a blunt question made Rong Manman blush, "I..." She couldn’t deny it because there was no one else in the yard, and she wanted her dad’s support.
With her dad’s nature of not acting without profit, he would surely help her.
But then, reality hit her like a slap in the face.
"Forget it, you think you can match up?" Rong Wenze’s face showed impatience, "Are you prettier than Rong Yan? Or are you more educated than her? Enough with these impossibilities, you should think more realistically about someone else. And listen to your grandma, don’t go finding them; if you offend them, it could spell disaster for our entire family."
In the past, it was his elder brother who was forgiving, and some things were overlooked.
But now it was different, his elder brother was ferocious!
What if he found out Manman was eyeing his daughter’s man, wouldn’t he come over and wipe out their entire family?
Rong Manman’s eyes widened, clearly unable to believe what she had just heard, "Dad, I’m your actual daughter, right?"
Has there ever been a father who disparages his own daughter like this?
Moreover, other than not being as beautiful, how was she inferior to that slut Rong Yan?
"What’s the use of being able to read? Isn’t that just a bookworm?"
Rong Wenze grew even more impatient, "That ’bookworm’ is a college graduate, who is guaranteed a job upon graduation and doesn’t need to look for work anymore, and it’s an office job at that. If you’re so capable, why don’t you find someone like that too?"
A female worker from a factory division compared to someone who works in an office... there’s no comparison whatsoever.
"Enough, don’t cause trouble."
After saying this, he didn’t care how Rong Manman looked and went straight back into the house.
Compared to the troublesome family of his elder brother, he was more interested in how much money his mother really had... perhaps the old man left some treasure for her!
Standing in the yard, Rong Manman trembled with rage.

The variety of dishes for lunch in the quadrangle was quite exceptional; the average family might have at most eight dishes.
This time, they prepared eighteen courses for each table.
Including fish and meat... the standard was quite high.
Most importantly, there was a bottle of fine wine at every table.
This meal lasted very long; after other guests left, Old Sir Qin didn’t stay much longer either, knowing his grandson and granddaughter-in-law had no time to spare!
And the cleaning up of bowls and chopsticks was taken care of by the old neighbors brought by Madam Rong.
Including Aunt Jin and a few others, they busily worked until two in the afternoon to finish all the tasks.
As for the leftovers, there truly were none.
Originally, there was supposed to be a little left, but those who could eat well finished everything off.
Madam Rong had to give a small bag of candy to each person who helped.
"Take these back for your kids to try."
Aunt Jin declined at first but then accepted, "Alright, we’ll take them, hoping to share in the joy. It’s getting late; we’ll be off."
"Okay, take care, and come to visit when you have time."
Aunt Jin also felt a bit melancholic; after all, they had been neighbors for many years. Now, with the Rong Family moving next door, it would be difficult to see each other as regularly.
"Sure, we will come visit. We’re off now."
Several people bid farewell to Madam Rong one by one.
Madam Rong saw her guests off until they were out of sight then turned around.
