Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Freeloading
Director Zhou once again raised his chin and, with sheer scorn on his face, said, “Take this money and afterwards, you can’t come back to us begging for help anymore.”
He almost outright stated, you Jiang family members better not come trying to act grateful and come knocking on our door asking for favors every day.
He knew that most villagers were thin-skinned and would definitely feel uncomfortable upon hearing this, and would even start to hold a grudge against Yu Cheng, which is exactly the effect he wanted.
To tarnish Yu Cheng’s image in front of others, it takes three people to start a rumor.
His cousin in Capital City had gradually spoiled Yu Cheng’s reputation, driving a wedge between him and his father-in-law.
Unfortunately for him, he had encountered the Jiang Family, which didn’t play by the usual rules, led by Jiang Changhai.
Jiang Changhai didn’t care a bit about the nonsense he was spouting; he stuffed the two stacks of money from the table into his pocket and nodded with satisfaction, “All right, we’re even now. I promise we won’t go to you guys in the future. Now get lost, your face sickens me.”
None of the expected raging, throwing things, or silent tolerance happened. Director Zhou looked at the now empty table and at Jiang Changhai who had turned against him after taking the money, and he was so furious he was at a loss for words: “You, you, you”
Jiang Changhai glared fiercely and said harshly, “What about me? If you don’t leave now, I’ll sweep you out with a broom!”
Su Wanyu weakly chimed in, “Director Zhou, our household is too small to accommodate such a large Buddha like yourself.”
Jiang Dashan also disliked Director Zhou, who obviously looked down on his family, so he didn’t try to stop Jiang Changhai from driving him away and even gave Zhang Guihua a look to stop her from speaking.
Sun Lixia, who also wanted to please, was held back by Jiang Changtao: “Don’t say a word.”
Seeing that none of the family members said a word, Director Zhou was so angry that his nostrils flared, he was panting like a bull.

He had never suffered such humiliation before!
Then Jiang Mianmian’s “childish remarks” made his blood pressure surge: “Is this uncle lingering because he knows we’re going to have braised pork tonight and doesn’t want to leave?”
Yu Cheng just curled his lips with contempt, “Right, all he ever does is loaf about and mooch off others.”
This almost made Director Zhou roll his eyes, “Fine! You are all so impressive, just you wait!”
After dropping that threat, he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
Sun Lixia hurriedly chased after him, “Director Zhou, let me see you out.”
After two seconds of silence in the hall, Zhao Xiaojuan, looking anxious and worried, couldn’t help but whisper, “Do you think Director Zhou will really go and report this to the leaders?”
“Scared of him for what! We’ve done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide; even if the president came, I wouldn’t feel guilty!” Jiang Changhai sat back with his legs crossed, not intimidated in the least.
Yu Cheng also spoke up, “Don’t worry, he won’t dare to trouble you guys.”
A worthless nobody; if his stepmother could shove him upward, he could easily press him down just as effortlessly.
Then, squeezing Jiang Mianmian’s soft little hand, he looked over at Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu, “Uncle Jiang, Aunt Wan, what he said doesn’t represent my attitude. I will always remember the life-saving grace you showed me.”
“I know that,” Jiang Changhai replied nonchalantly, waving his hand, “I’m not keen on dealing with your stepmother in the future; never said about cutting off contact with you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian blinked, feeling that her dad’s way with words had improved quite a bit, even knowing a thing or two about creating diversions now.
Zhang Guihua nodded merrily, “Right, Yu Cheng, our home will always welcome you to visit, yeah.”
Especially since Yu Family is clearly not an ordinary family, what with a cousin who’s a factory director and one-hundred-yuan notes just flying out like that!
