Chapter 1133: Chapter 1133: Wanting to Reap Without Sowing
She would continue to honor her master and his wife, providing for their retirent no matter what. However, that certainly didn’t an she would support anyone else.
Peng Mingdong had received Luo Qiao’s instructions and knew what to do. After hanging up, he checked the ti and imdiately called the school to find Yang Jiancheng.
The office phone started ringing, and soone answered, “Hello, who are you looking for?”
“Could you please get Professor Yang Jiancheng for ?”
“Please hold.”
Shouting to Yang Jiancheng sitting in the back, “Professor Yang, you have a call.”
Yang Jiancheng approached, “Hello, who is this?”
“Professor Yang, this is Peng Mingdong from Yipin Base. I’d like to confirm sothing with you.”
“What’s the matter, just tell .”
“Well, Xiao Jiang, who delivered the goods this morning, picked up an order from your place. The quantity wasn’t small, so I wanted to double-check with you.”
“What order?”
“It’s an order for tomorrow’s vegetable delivery. It ntioned that your family was having guests over.”
“That’s not the case. Just continue with the usual daily deliveries as agreed before, don’t mind the rest. If there really is a need, I will call Luo Qiao to make arrangents.”
“Okay, then we’ll still deliver according to your previous order tomorrow.”
“Good, from now on don’t bother with the others in my household.”
“Got it, I won’t keep you any longer.”
After hanging up, Yang Jiancheng imdiately dialed back ho, and the call was just picked up by his second daughter-in-law, Hao Xiujie: “Hello, who is it?”
“It’s , Yang Jiancheng.”
“Dad, why are you calling back ho? Is sothing the matter?”
“Tell Yang Ligang to get on the phone.”
“Dad, do you need Ligang for sothing?”
“Tell him to get on the phone.”
“Alright, alright, alright, I’ll call him right now.”
Putting down the phone, she ran into the inner room and shook her still sleeping husband awake, “Ligang, hurry, your dad’s on the line, get up to take the call.”
“I’ve just lain down, what’s it about? Can’t it wait until I’m back?”
“I have no idea. Just hurry up.”
Yang Ligang got up, put on his shoes, and went to the living room to answer, “Hello, Dad, you were looking for ?”
“Second, when is your work unit’s housing going to be ready?”
“It should be soon, Dad. Why are you asking?”
“Go and hurry them up. After it’s approved, move out quickly. I’m giving you one more week. If you can’t sort out the housing, then go rent sowhere else.”
“Dad, what’s gotten into you? I haven’t done anything wrong, have I? If there’s sothing, just tell straight, so I can die knowing why.”
“I told you when you ca back that the vegetables from Yipin Base are Luo Qiao’s way of honoring your mom and . If there’s not enough, you should buy your own. But what did you do? You go around saying you’re having guests over and make soone deliver a heap. Who do you think you are, making demands on soone else’s generosity? Now hurry up and find a place to move to.”
“Dad, I honestly didn’t know about this.”
“I don’t care if you knew or not. I’m telling you now to move out quickly. Just seeing you lot irks .”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, wondering whether it had been right or wrong to agree with his wife to let them move back in.
Their grandson had pleaded with them to let him stay, and they had softened and agreed. But their second son had shown no improvent, coupled with his wife who only wanted to take advantage, and there was probably so old resentnt that had never been let go, which made living together uncomfortable.
He sighed and returned to his seat.
On the other side, a baffled Yang Ligang turned to Hao Xiujie, “Did you tell the delivery guy to bring extra vegetables tomorrow?”
Hao Xiujie was a bit panicked, avoiding eye contact and not wanting to answer. Yang Ligang, seeing this, knew it was the careless actions of this woman causing trouble, and yelled, “What exactly happened?”
Hao Xiujie finally spoke, “It’s Auntie Zhu next door, her daughter is getting married the day after tomorrow. A few days ago she ca asking my in-laws if they could buy so vegetables from Yipin Base for cheap, and I agreed to help. Auntie Zhu brought over the order yesterday.”
Yang Ligang was fuming, “And then you just handed over the order to the delivery guy, thinking you could make a quick buck without lifting a finger, and then profit off it. Do you think everybody else is a fool?”
“I was just thinking, these past few days when he delivered the vegetables, mom and dad were already at the school. They wouldn’t know and even if I gave Auntie Zhu a discount, we’d still earn a decent amount of money. It’s such a rare opportunity, isn’t it? And it’s not like I planned to make so money so we’d have sothing when we finally got our own place.
But I never imagined they’d go right back and call Dad. Dad is Luo Qiao’s benefactor; she honors him by sending those vegetables. To go and complain about it to Dad, that’s just too stingy.”
“You may not be pretty, but you sure have pretty thoughts. Now look at us, Dad’s telling us to hurry up and move out. So, what are we going to do now? Your plan to steal so advantage has backfired; are you happy now?”
“Ligang, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. Let’s wait for Han Ning to co back and then he can try talking to Dad. Dad can’t just ignore his grandson, right? Han Ning’s about to take the college entrance exams in no ti at all.”
