Chapter 1325: Chapter 1124 Awkward_1 Chapter 1325: Chapter 1124 Awkward_1 Awkward.
Wu Yancai pressured Yu Zizhou to swear on Yu Ang’s behalf. In this era, which deeply valued filial piety, Yu Zizhou dared not do so.
Of course, if Yu Zizhou had been a bit more despicable, he would have been able to outright refuse without hesitation.
But clearly, Yu Zizhou hadn’t degraded to that extent, so facing Wu Yancai’s demand, he was stuck, his fair face flushing red, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing his reaction, everyone present immediately understood.
Awkward.
The nephew didn’t recognize his uncle and resorted to such tactics to deceive others, resulting in such a dramatic spectacle.
With a snort, Yang Wenxiao leaned back in his chair, grabbed a bunch of grapes, and began to eat them leisurely.
An interesting play indeed.
“It was you?” Yu Ang was furious, couldn’t help himself and also kicked off his shoes to beat someone, “Just for a few watermelons, you actually schemed against Tong Xingda?!”
Yu Ang hit quite hard, causing Yu Zizhou’s body to tremble uncontrollably, but he stood his ground, enduring the punishment, “It’s more than just a few watermelons. That’s over a hundred thousand in silver. You’re not unaware of how much watermelons are worth these days.”
“I don’t care what they’re worth! It’s only a hundred thousand in silver, after all. Qiao Xiaomai has already earned more than that amount for our family! Always focused on your own losses, when did you ever thank her for earning money for our family?!”
Yu Ang was so angry he shook, the soles of his shoes falling like raindrops on Yu Zizhou.
Unable to endure, Yu Zizhou squatted down and clutched his head, “But we never mistreated her before! She also made money through our Jimei Residence. You’re really generous this time, giving away over a hundred thousand in silver so easily, and to Tong Xingda, a country bumpkin who doesn’t deserve such favor?!”
At these words, Yu Ang grew even angrier, his beard quivering, “You know nothing! Tong Xingda is Tong Sanlang’s biological father, Qiao Xiaomai’s father-in-law. How is he not entitled to it? This debt will eventually land on Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, do you think they would accept it without any compensation?”
“Not knowing the ways of the world, I’ve raised you in vain to be so superficial. Don’t go around claiming I taught you!”
Yu Zizhou felt truly bitter and distressed upon hearing these words.
A hundred thousand silver, and he’s being called superficial?
Even the former Shen Family wouldn’t dismiss a hundred thousand silver as if it was just some roadside grass–it was a hundred thousand taels, not just ten!
The accumulation of the Yu Family over decades was only a few hundred thousand taels silver, and his monthly allowance was just a thousand taels. To ask him to disregard a hundred thousand taels with merely a thousand-tael allowance was truly impossible for him!
Watermelons had become legendary outside, with prices skyrocketing. The people of the Yu Residence could only have one each per day, no more.
The Yu Family had to be frugal with their consumption, so why should Tong Xingda get away with ten all at once?
Wouldn’t Tong Xingda ask Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang for compensation?
Why did he have to ask his family instead?
Moreover, Tong Xingda wasn’t personally benefiting. Tong Xingda took it to auction at Jimei Residence!
Watermelons from the Yu Family, auctioned on the Yu Family’s territory, no one dared to default on their payment or cause trouble. How could a mere villager be so arrogant? He couldn’t accept it, he couldn’t swallow his pride!
That’s why he approached Wu Yancai, hoping to trap Tong Xingda in his own game.
If he succeeded, he and Wu Yancai would split ten million evenly.
That’s five million taels silver!
So what if he was superficial? He did see it as valuable!
“Grandfather, you can’t be so biased toward him–I’m your real grandson, yet you treat Tong Xingda even better than you treat me!”
