Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 110

After Zhao Yongbo finished speaking, Zhao Tingxu and Wang Guixiang were both dumbfounded. It didn't sound like something someone had taught them; it was as if they had witnessed it firsthand.

For example, regarding the New Year's money, Zhao Tingxu and Wang Guixiang weren't foolish enough to openly give Zhao Yongbo 50 cents and then secretly give Li Ping 200 yuan each. They were doing it all in secret, afraid their sons' families would find out. No one had told them about it. Zhao Yongbo was only four years old; who told him?

Furthermore, the cabinet by the kang (heated brick bed) was locked, and only Wang Guixiang had the key. How did Zhao Yongbo know there were delicious and fun things inside? And that they were all prepared for Li Ping? How did he know?

“Nonsense, Zhao Yongbo, who told you this nonsense? It’s not true. Grandma loves you the most,” Wang Guixiang said with a worried look on her face.

"So, Grandma, Grandpa and I are planning to give me two hundred yuan each as a New Year's gift this year?" Zhao Yongbo asked seriously.

"What two hundred yuan New Year's money? There's no such thing as a New Year's gift?"

"Grandma, do you dare to confront Li Ping face to face when he comes?"

Wang Guixiang's face was extremely ugly. How could she confront him face to face? Two hundred yuan from one person was already enough to make Wang Guixiang feel terribly guilty, but that was her precious grandson, a noble city person. Even if she didn't have it herself, she would steal it for her grandson.

But how can she give it to her grandson? The third son's family has a son, and the eldest son's family also has a son. The problem is that the second son's family now has two children, even if they are daughters. But if she were to give them both, Wang Guixiang couldn't afford it.

Wang Guixiang only gave money to her grandson and never expected Zhao Yongbo to find out about it. But Zhao Yongbo said to confront her, which was absolutely out of the question. At worst, she could just continue to give him money secretly and deny it. Anyway, no one would catch her in the act.

Zhao Tingxu hadn't even considered giving his grandson a New Year's gift. That fifty cents was actually something Zhao Da'e's mother, Cheng Jinxiang, had accidentally lost last year, and Zhao Tingxu had found it...

What future can these kids in the family have?

Some people are born in Dongtaizi, a remote and impoverished rural village in the north, where they spend their lives toiling in the soil and picking up beans in the furrows, destined to be farmers with no future. But others are born in a magnificent and prestigious county town, a place many dream of but can never reach.

This saved Zhao Tingxu the time of making a choice; he would simply choose the grandson in the city.

He believed that only this grandson could achieve success and become a person of high status in the future, but he had not considered his own grandchildren.

"Yongbo, you are Grandma's most beloved grandson. Why did you say such a thing today? You've made Grandpa and Grandma very sad!"

"Then what should I say?" Zhao Yongbo asked innocently, "Grandma, you don't dare let us confront Li Ping face to face, do you?"

"Why do you miss your grandparents so much, child?" Wang Guixiang said with dissatisfaction.

"Then what should I think? Grandma, are you just making conversation because you're at a loss for words? Do you dare to answer the question directly? Do you dare to give Li Ping lucky money in front of my older brother and sister this Chinese New Year?" Zhao Yongbo asked seriously.

Wang Guixiang and Zhao Tingxu certainly wouldn't dare.

“Sigh, Yongbo, you know how poor we are. We can’t even get enough to eat. Now your second uncle has a second child, so there’s another one to feed. Life is even more difficult now. When your grandparents have more money in the future, your grandpa and I will give you two hundred yuan every year for the New Year, okay?” Wang Guixiang said with a wronged expression.

"Grandma loves you so much. She always gives you the egg white when she eats eggs, and she only eats the yolk. When we eat dumplings for Chinese New Year, does Grandma give you meat dumplings too? You must never forget how good Grandma is to you."
