PFC Chapter 869 Trouble
Chapter 869 Trouble
What remote, deserted island? You were just talking about a modern metropolis.
"Okay, okay, then you can contact her yourself. If she's willing to go, that's fine."
When Ye Lian got home from get off work, she asked, "Are Ye Zemin and his wife still staying at Yang Guangzong's place?"
"Yes, Xiaotong may have to go to Hong Kong to visit Sister Song. She probably won't be back for ten days to half a month."
"Oh, then they'll have to stay in the South City for a month."
"more or less."
Ye Lian silently calculated the twelve solar terms, "That's about right. They can stay here for another month at most, then they'll have to go back to harvest the wheat."
Lin Yuyao was both amused and exasperated. Why was she always thinking about farming at home?
Even though they no longer need to farm, they still occasionally make comments while chatting.
'It's time to plant wheat.'
'It'll be time to transplant rice seedlings in the next few days.'
The sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested.
'This weather is perfect for planting beans.'
Fu Huaiyi called today and said he could get off work early, around 7 p.m.
He will no longer eat in the cafeteria; he will eat at home instead.
After talking to her grandfather, Lin Yuyao asked him if they could have dinner later that day.
After all, it had been a long time since their family had eaten together.
Grandpa said he wouldn't wait for him, but soon after he told the kitchen to cook dinner later that day.
He had gone back to his hometown after the New Year, but he came back not long after.
My son and daughter-in-law are often away from home, and my grandchildren are not around either. My hometown is very quiet and deserted now.
He needs to come and look after his great-grandchildren. The rest of them are busy with their careers and just leave the kids with the nanny. He has to come and keep an eye on them so they don't get spoiled.
The two kids have a great relationship with him now. As the weather gets hotter, they even help him swat away mosquitoes when he goes fishing.
Fu Huaiyi ate as soon as he got back, and it was only eight o'clock in the evening after dinner.
He didn't want to go to bed so early, so he said to Lin Yuyao, "Let's go out for a walk and buy some snacks on the pedestrian street."
"Didn't you just eat?"
"I ate about half full, leaving room in my stomach."
Lin Yuyao said irritably, "You rarely get off work early, take the kids with you."
"It's already eight o'clock, aren't they about to go to sleep?"
Lin Yuyao: “…”
Well, now the kids go to bed early, and of course, they wake up early too.
The two of them went shopping together after the children had fallen asleep.
Summer arrived before they knew it, so they rode their motorcycles there and enjoyed the cool breeze the whole way.
In winter, the old man who used to sell roasted sweet potatoes switched to selling ice jelly. The large buckets of ice jelly were prepared in advance, so there was no need to wait in line.
The two women, each holding a bowl of shaved ice, squatted on the open ground by the roadside to eat. Across the street was Pan Xiaohua's shop, where they could see the sisters busily working.
Inevitably, the conversation turned to their past.
Do you know why Pan Hong and Qu Shaohua fought?
"Why?" Fu Huaiyi paused for a moment and then said, "Because of jealousy and rivalry."
Lin Yuyao smiled and said, "I guess so, but that's not the main reason."
"Oh? What's the main reason?"
“When Pan Xiaohua got married, Pan Yi’s mother went to make a scene, right? They were able to find us because Qu Shaohua gave them the address.”
Fu Huaiyi choked for a moment, then uttered, "This kid is pretty wicked."
"That's right, someone who can do such disgusting things is definitely not a good person."
Fu Huaiyi clicked his tongue, "My sister actually hired some shady characters."
They ate and drank until very late, and by the time they quietly returned home at ten o'clock, they were caught by their grandfather who was getting up in the middle of the night, and he scolded them.
The two sheepishly returned to their room, quickly washed up, and went to bed.
After Wang and Pan Hong, Pan Yi went back.
At first, Pan Hong rented a house for her and hired someone to come and buy groceries and cook for her every day.
But soon she scolded the person away, saying that she was perfectly healthy and that hiring someone to cook was a waste of money.
She doesn't want to be waited on; she wants money.
Left with no other choice, Pan Hong had to give her the money he would have spent each month hiring someone to take care of her.
Including the cost of groceries and cooking, I get 100 a month.
It wasn't much, and Pan Hong didn't say anything before giving it to him.
But after that, the Wang family stopped cooking in their kitchen, and she would go to Pan Xiaohua's place for meals every day around mealtimes.
Pan Xiaohua works a regular job and usually eats at the restaurant, so she also goes there to eat.
But Pan Xiaohua felt that if things continued like this, she would be exposed sooner or later. If Wang Shi found out that the shop belonged to her, she didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause.
Pan Xiaohua angrily called Pan Hong.
"Didn't I tell you to find someone to cook for her? You can't give her a single penny."
“I did look for her, but she was the one who yelled at the person and drove them away. She doesn’t want anyone to wait on her; she wants money, saying she’ll buy groceries and cook for herself.”
Pan Xiaohua was speechless.
"She's a liar. She hasn't cooked for half a month and has been eating at my place every day."
Pan Hong is in a real bind. His previous injury had already delayed the filming schedule, and now he's working himself to the bone every day in order to catch up.
And even then, I still have to clean up the mess at home.
Pan Hong took a deep breath and said, "It's just a few bites of food, you should give it to her."
Pan Xiaohua said, "It's not just about a few meals. If I cooked for myself at home, that would be fine, but the problem is... sigh! Lanlan eats at school. Xiaocao and I eat at the shop while we're at work. She comes to the shop to freeload. If this continues, she'll be found out sooner or later."
"What can I do? I give her 100 yuan every month, and she's definitely saving it up to give to her older brother. Do you think she'd be willing to exchange that 100 yuan for a nanny?"
Pan Xiaohua retorted angrily, "I don't care, you're the one who brought these people here. It's you who has a grudge against that pretty boy Qu Shaohua, not me. I've already had my wedding ruined because of you, and you have to resolve this for me."
Pan Hong: "..."
He rubbed his temples, utterly speechless.
"Here's what we'll do: consider it a favor to your second brother, something he owes you. Just bear with it a little longer; we'll finish filming here in two months at most, and then I'll take her to Hong Kong."
Two months?
That's not unbearable.
"Okay, I'll give you two months at most. You must take her away within two months."
"understood."
After hanging up the phone, Pan Hong was filled with resentment.
Their once happy family was ruined by this selfish, greedy, and foolish mother.
The assistant came over and said, "Yanbai, I think your old lady is quite troublesome. What will you do if you take her to Hong Kong?"
Pan Hong said calmly, "What can an uneducated old lady do when she gets to Hong Kong? She can do whatever she wants."
Although he always felt that the troubles in his family were all the fault of their foolish mother and greedy elder brother and sister-in-law.
But the two younger sisters and niece are innocent.
He was partly responsible for making a foolish mistake back then.
In order for them to live a better life, he decided to take the old lady, the most troublesome troublemaker, away with him.
Once she goes to Hong Kong, she can forget about ever coming back.
