80s Wife Is Sweet and Sassy - Chapter 78
Chapter 78 – The black-hearted younger brother who didn’t recognize his own relatives. (1)
As expected, Chu Yuanzhi’s face turned pale when he heard that it was He Jihong. He closed his eyes painfully, accepted the cruel fact that his small treasury had changed from 150 yuan to 70 yuan, and his steps became heavy. He walked slowly to sit on the sofa.
He was so depressed that even Chu Peng felt a little uneasy in his conscience. He patted his father’s shoulder lightly to express his comfort.
The mother and daughter in the room stopped crying and started quarreling again. Xu Bilian wanted to marry Gu Jianshe, but He Jihong disagreed. The mother and daughter quarreled so hard and bitterly, but it didn’t last long as the phone rang. It was Old Mr. He who called.
Chu Peng answered the phone, “Waigong1.”
1waigong (外公) : maternal grandfather.
“Xiao Peng, let your mother and big sister come back now, you also can come here too.” Just from the way and the soft tone Old Mr. He called Chu Peng, it could be seen that Chu Peng was the most valued grandson. But Chu Peng could still hear that his waigong was in rage.
“Okay, I’m going to talk to them now.”
Chu Peng spoke respectfully and didn’t ask any further questions. After hanging up the phone, he walked to the door of the room and said coldly, “Waigong asked you guys to go there, now!”
The quarrel stopped abruptly, and Xu Bilian looked frightened. When she ran back to the compound just now, Old Mr. He was not at home, so she just left a note stating that she was pregnant.
The note was placed in Old Mr. He’s study room. Her waigong would go and sit in the study room everyday, so he would definitely see it.
But now that she was asked to face Old Mr. He in person, Xu Bilian became timid. She was really afraid of being beaten to death by her waigong.
He Jihong was also afraid, so she patted her daughter’s back a little harder, “You… You… You are really disappointing me. Go there quickly, don’t let your waigong wait for too long!”
“Mom, I really want to marry Jianshe ge2. I’m begging you, please help me!” Xu Bilian begged bitterly. With her mother’s help backing her, waigong should be more lenient and merciful.

2ge (哥) : older brother; elder brother, (honorific) term of address for a male person of the same age or older; an intimate term of address for a man.
“Hurry up, waigong hates people being late the most!”
Chu Peng impatiently reminded them. Actually, he didn’t want to deal with this damn problem at all. But his waigong already asked him to go there too, so he could only obey and go there with them.
Chu Yuanzhi didn’t ask much. Anyway, his father-in-law had never liked him. Throughout the year, he was only allowed to go back to the compound on the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner. As for the rest of the time, he was also happy to stay and be idle at home. The He family looked down on him, so he also wouldn’t go there to provoke them.
Chu Qiao actually really wanted to go there to watch the fun, but she was not qualified to step on the threshold of the He family. Her status was lower than Chu Yuanzhi. She was also asked to come and eat at the reunion dinner, but when she went there, she was just used by them as a servant. She was so busy with many things, and in the end, she was still not qualified to sit on the same table. She could only eat in the kitchen, and it had been like this for five years.
He Jihong and Xu Bilian hurriedly came out of the door. Chu Peng walked from behind. He was aware of his older sister’s curiosity. The corner of his lips was hooked, then he made a finger gesture at Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao’s eyes lit up, and when she got closer, she heard her younger brother said, “10 yuan. Then when I come back, I will tell you all of the details, without leaving anything behind.”
“5 yuan.”
Chu Qiao gritted her teeth and secretly scolded him for being a profiteer. He was so black-hearted, that even the money of such a poor pauper like her was also taken by him. This kid obviously had a lot of pocket money and every year he always got a lot of new year’s money. And he still wanted to blackmail her for more money?

But she really wanted to know what would happen to Xu Bilian and Gu Jianshe, so she bargained and reluctantly accepted the price of 5 yuan.
“8 yuan.”
Chu Peng refused to give in. He still needed 5 yuan to buy the book. He knew that his stupid older sister still had more than 10 yuan, so the price of 8 yuan would definitely be affordable for her.
“Forget it then, I don’t want to listen anymore.”
Chu Qiao glared at him fiercely. He was really an unscrupulous profiteer, a black-hearted guy without any affection. But she should have known that already, after all, her younger brother in the previous life, was also a black-hearted guy who didn’t recognize his own relatives.
