He walked Rong Wenze almost ho before Rong Wenming stuffed the money into the old lady’s pocket.
Then, without a word, he turned and left.
He didn’t want the money, and he believed Yanyan wouldn’t either.
Grandma Rong stood frozen for a long while.
Until a voice sounded, "Grandma, what are you doing standing here? Did you visit Uncle’s place?"
Grandma Rong looked up and saw it was her granddaughter, the slyest of them all. Annoyed, she retorted, "Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?"
Rong Manman’s expression paused, then she looked hurt, "Grandma, I’m just concerned about you."
Grandma Rong snorted coldly, ignoring her.
And kept walking ho.
Rong Manman watched her retreating figure, her eyes narrowing slightly before she emanated a malicious gleam...
If, right now, she gave this wretched old woman a push... If she were to die.
Would that bitch Rong Yan be unable to proceed with the celebration?
After all, this old hag was her dear uncle’s biological mother, and that bitch Rong Yan’s grandmother.
The malevolent thought grew wild in her mind like the unchecked grass in the wind.
She stepped forward and slowly stretched out her venomous hands.
Just as she was about to push the old woman, Grandma Rong suddenly turned around.
"What are you doing?" Grandma Rong’s murky eyes sharpened upon seeing her hands in midair, "You weren’t thinking of pushing , were you?"
Rong Manman saw her chance slip. She contemplated whether to just shove hard.
But when she caught sight of a figure nearby, she hid the thought.
And quickly retracted her hands.
Her face instantly wore an injured look, "Grandma, how could you think so ill of ? You’re my grandmother... how could I possibly do such a wicked thing? Grandma, are you misjudging ?"
Grandma Rong laughed coldly, convinced by her grandaughter’s plea that she indeed intended to push her.
"I advise you to be kinder. Heaven watches what we do, and people see. Don’t let catch you scheming again. I’m not so easy to dispatch."
After saying this, she turned and left, shortly entering the courtyard.
Rong Manman’s face turned from pale to livid.
Suppressing her rage, she casually returned ho.
anwhile, Rong Wenming returned ho with a heavy heart.
He went straight to the kitchen.
Madam Rong, seeing him behind the stove, asked, "Did you return the money?"
Rong Wenming nodded, "Yeah."
Relieved to hear the money had been returned, Madam Rong was about to ask more but saw his unwell expression and held back.
She took out all the eggs from the pot.
And dyed them red with magenta.
Seeing there were many, Rong Wenming stepped forward to help, "I’ll help too."
The couple busily worked together until 2 a.m., finally going to sleep.
The next day, Qin Ye got up early and went downstairs. Seeing the kitchen light on, he walked over.
"Qin, why are you up so early? It’s only four o’clock! Why don’t you sleep a bit longer?" Although Madam Rong went to sleep at 2 a.m., she woke up after only an hour because she was worried.
"I’m not tired; never mind, since you’re up, help carry these things to the quad. Later, co back at 7:30 to pick up people."
Qin Ye nodded, "Okay."
Madam Rong pointed out several things to take over.
At that mont, a knocking sound ca from outside.
Qin Ye said, "It must be Qin Zhen. I’ll go open the door."
Madam Rong was surprised, "He’s here this early?"
Qin Ye explained, "He borrowed a truck and is helping to move so things over first."
Madam Rong, upon hearing this, hurriedly urged, "Then you should hurry up and go open the door."
Qin Ye left the kitchen, and he went to open the door, indeed, outside was Qin Zhen.
"Qin Ye, you’re getting married, and I’ve also put in so effort." He had been woken up by his old man even before it was fully night.
Luckily, it wasn’t the dead of winter, or it really would be too cold to get up.
Qin Ye sincerely said two words, "Thank you!"
Qin Zhen gave him a playful punch.
"We’re all family, so thank for what? If you weren’t my brother, I wouldn’t have been able to exert any effort. Alright, enough with the nonsense, what needs moving? I specifically borrowed a truck from the cotton mill."
He had even cashed in quite a few favors; otherwise, the factory would never lend out the truck.
"But, it’s a good thing this alley is wide, otherwise, the truck wouldn’t have been able to get in!"
That was sothing Qin Ye tended to agree with.
His father-in-law’s house was very well located, one of the widest alleys he had seen, and the entrance was also quite spacious.
But at most only one truck could fit, and that too required soone skilled at driving.
The two of them entered the courtyard.
Madam Rong ca out, looking particularly fond of Qin Zhen.
"Eat sothing to fill your stomach before moving."
Qin Zhen indeed hadn’t eaten before he ca, and since he was going to do physical labor shortly, being hungry ant lacking strength.
"Then, thank you, Auntie."
Madam Rong liked such forthright people; she said with a smile, "What’s there to thank for? If you go on like that, shouldn’t I be thanking you for coming over to move stuff?"
Qin Zhen laughed, "Alright, then let’s not keep thanking each other back and forth."
Madam Rong asked Qin Ye and him to wait in the main hall, and she went to the kitchen to bring them so breakfast.
After the two had finished eating, Rong Wenming also got up.
The three of them started to help carry things.
Since Qin Ye had ntioned that the first trip wouldn’t involve moving much, Qin Zhen ca alone, without calling other mbers of the Qin Family.
By the ti the second trip was done, it was already broad daylight, and more people from the Qin Family had co over to help... Most of the other things from the Rong Family were already loaded onto the truck.
Because it was during the day, the old neighbors could see everything very clearly... Especially when it was ti for the last trip to pick up people, they were picked up by car.
The Rong Family’s girl was truly marrying into an extraordinary household.
The luckiest were the few families on good terms with the Rong Family, who were all invited to help out at the four courtyards, and when noon ca, they would also be treated to a al there.
So, many other families who hadn’t been called over couldn’t help feeling a bit sour.
However, after they got the wedding candies thrown by Madam Rong, they didn’t say anything sour.
Madam Rong didn’t care about these.
She was already busy at the four courtyards.
anwhile, Rong Yan, dressed in her new clothes, was entertaining the female mbers of the Qin Family in her newly decorated bridal room.
"Sister-in-law, you’ve done a great job with this courtyard," said Qin Zhen’s wife. "Especially how you managed to grow waterlons in the front courtyard, that’s really amazing."
"Later, when you go back, you can each take a waterlon ho," Rong Yan smiled. Indeed, those waterlon vines had been transplanted from her ’space’. She had even made up an excuse yesterday, saying that Qin Ye had got several plants from a waterlon farr.
That wasn’t all; she had also specifically dug up so soil from the dark earth in that ’space’.
This way, it didn’t affect the taste.
If possible, in the future, she could also plant other small vegetables, no need to doubt it.
"That would be too embarrassing," Qin Zhen’s wife said, though her eyes shone brightly with excitent, clearly very tempted.
Rong Yan said, "I have twenty waterlons grown; it’s no problem for each of you to take one."
"Since that’s the case, we won’t be polite then." It was embarrassing for her to take one alone, so she included the word "we".
anwhile, Qin Ye was accompanying Old Sir Qin, the Qin Family, and... so friends the Qin Family got along well with.
Accompanying them was also Rong Wenming, Qin Ye’s father-in-law...
And the cooks were bustling about with great fervor.
By eleven in the morning, they sat down for the feast...
