327 Obvious
The person opposite saw Xue Dagui under the shade of his tree and came out to take a look. He happened to hear Xue Dagui’s words and immediately teased him. “Dagui, are you starting to become self-aware?”
Xue Dagui chuckled. “I’ve always known what kind of person I am. but it seems like some people don’t.” After he finished speaking, he took another big mouthful of cold rice.
The person looked at Grandma Liu. “His family is full of hard workers! Whenever their family members lack food or drinks, they would immediately send them over! It doesn’t matter if they have to eat less. To them, family comes first! All of you were so excessive in the past. It’s good that you’ve finally opened your eyes. Do you really think Xue Dafu’s money is fished out of the water? Have you ever seen them slacking off?! There is no other family more hardworking than Xue Dafu’s family. His family deserves all the fortune they gain from their hard work.”
“Hehe, but I’m rich too! What does that say about me?” Xue Dagui said with a salivating face.
“Go to h*l!” The people opposite them were both angry and amused. “No one is envious of the wealth you’ve made.” The wealth that he had earned was because he had been cheated on and had raised a son for so many years for nothing.
“Then I’ll work hard to be rich too.” Xue Dagui chuckled.
It was especially infuriating listening to those words come out of Xue Dagui. The people opposite him didn’t want to talk to him anymore and left.
When it was noon, Liu Guixia and the others had already stopped making rice noodles. They even finished making lunch for the family. Liu Guixia asked Xue Yifu to go to the village and call Xue Dafu and the others back for lunch.
Li Qingshu, He Jinshan, and the others worked for their family. Every day, their family would prepare a simple meal-lunch for the men. The men’s lunches consisted of a lot of things. They knew they were being fed well and felt a little embarrassed that they were getting such good treatment.
As soon as Xue Yifu opened the door it was quickly shut from the inside. Grandma Liu had been sitting under the shade the entire morning and was filled with pent-up anger. When she saw Xue Yifu come out, she immediately scolded him from afar. Xue Yifu was slow with his words and didn’t know how to talk back. He went straight past her to call his father back for dinner.
Due to her natural anger, Grandma Liu was extremely arrogant no matter who she met. When she saw Xue Dafu and Xue Erfu returning with Li Qingshu and the others, she immediately shouted at Xue Dafu, “Dafu, let me ask you one thing. Are you going to give me forty pieces of silver, or not?”
Xue Dafu didn’t even get a chance to reply before Xue Erfu snapped, “You’re not even allowed inside. Isn’t your behavior obvious enough? Let’s not talk about whether our family has it or not, whatever it is, we’re not giving it to you!”
“Fine! Good!” Grandma Liu’s body trembled in anger. “Then I’ll continue to stay here. I’ll see what you can do!”
“If you want to embarrass yourself, then go ahead.” Xue Erfu couldn’t be bothered with the old lady and let Li Qingshu and the others enter the courtyard with him.
When the people inside heard the commotion outside, they opened the door.
In the yard, there were stacks of rice noodles that were made in the morning, and one bamboo pole after another was hung around. These days, Li Qingshu and the others saw this scene every time they came for lunch, and they were used to it by now. They knew that Xue Erfu’s family relied on this business to make money. Since Xue Sifu had gone to town, they naturally wouldn’t ask much. They just wanted to know how the rice noodles were made.
However, even if he didn’t find out anything, he could see how hard it was for Xue Erfu. It was also hard-earned money.
However, as soon as the door of the courtyard was opened, Grandma Liu took the opportunity to push Li Qingshu and the others aside and rush in. She rushed in and immediately occupied the main seat at the dining table, and said arrogantly, “Hurry up and get me some food!”
