The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Aunt Hong patted his head and nodded, ”Hmm, that area really suffered. Those damned rebels disturbed the peace of the dead; aren’t they afraid of retribution.”

Oh, they indeed faced retribution. Didn’t they die or get caught and exiled so quickly? None of them had a good ending.

”After the rebellion was quelled, we went up the mountain to find someone to repair the Hong Family’s cemetery. I asked the Boss and Second Hong to also tidy up Dazhuang’s grave, but they completely ignored it, nobody was willing to do it. I raised Dazhuang myself, he lived a hard life, and if after death he still... how will I face the child’s father, how will I face Dazhuang’s mother in the future?”

Shu Yu understood pretty much at this point, ”So, you spent your own money, and hired someone to refurbish his grave?”

Aunt Hong nodded, ”Yes, didn’t you all tell me that the enemies of the Song Family had already been found and are dead? Since that’s the case, I moved Dazhuang’s grave to the Song Family, and buried him with his parents.”

However, in doing so, not only did the Boss become aware that Aunt Hong still had money, but Second Hong and the youngest daughter also found out.

All of them wanted to scrape some money from Aunt Hong’s hands, but Aunt Hong had long seen their true colors. Once she gave them the money, it would be worthless later on, so she held on to it, making them try to please her.

Perhaps because all the children knew about it, they balanced each other out, and it didn’t allow the Boss and his wife to easily extract money from Aunt Hong.

Aunt Hong also bluntly stated that she was penniless, that she had spent the last bit of money on fixing the grave. Therefore, when the Boss’s son and the Second daughter’s daughter fell ill, Aunt Hong remained indifferent, thinking that if the parents didn’t care, what could an old lady like her do?

Eldest Hong repeated his old trick and searched the house again, but found nothing.

The more this happened, the more convinced they were that Aunt Hong had a large fortune in her hand.

Since then, their attitude changed drastically; the children became increasingly ’filial’ to Aunt Hong. The Second family, who rarely visited after the family split, often came with the children, and the daughter frequently visited her mother.

However, the more this happened, the more Aunt Hong’s heart turned cold.

She never expected that the children she painstakingly raised would turn out to be like this.

Aunt Hong said with a bitter smile, ”You see, today’s lively birthday feast is their display of ’filial piety’.”

Shu Yu didn’t know what to say for a moment. Sometimes people are just this realistic; if you have money, they treat you well, if not, you’re a burden.

Little Song Le held Aunt Hong’s hand, ”Great Aunt, don’t be sad, wait for me, when I grow up, I will truly be filial to you. I’ll study hard, earn a good name, and by then, I’ll take you with me.”

Aunt Hong looked at the little one in front of her and felt very comforted.

”Alright, Great Aunt will wait for you to grow up.”

As they talked, Ms. Yu had already brought Ruan and the sister-in-law in, placing the food on the table.

As soon as they came in, they saw Aunt Hong with red eyes, and immediately comforted her, ”Mother, on such a wonderful day, cheer up, look at Gouwa, how well he’s doing now?”

Then she said to Shu Yu, ”Lady Lu, my mother, has always been thinking about Gouwa all these years; she loves him the most.”

Shu Yu raised her eyes to look at her and smiled, ”He’s called Song Le now.”
