Chapter 146 – If it wasn’t for this chubby kid, they would definitely be paying more than a hundred thousand yuan (1)
After Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia had breezily left, his great-aunt’s family went back inside. One after another, they expressed how dissatisfied they were with her behavior.
“Mom, why did you give him a hundred thousand yuan? Our family doesn’t have money. If you have this money, why didn’t you give it to me for my business?”
“Exactly! I don’t believe that Song Tingshen doesn’t have money. His wife’s purse was at least a hundred thousand yuan! He’s just worried that we’ll ask him for money if we know he’s rich, so he pretended to be poor. He’s certainly good at scheming. No wonder he can grow his business to such a big size. That man is too treacherous!”
“Grandma, what’s wrong with you? Why did you give him money? I want to travel abroad. If you have money, you should sponsor my trip.”
Song Tingshen’s great-aunt had been suppressing her temper. She waited until she was sure that Song Tingshen was gone before exploding in anger. With a cold expression, she said, “Shut up! It’s my money. I can use it however I want and give it to whoever I want. It’s none of your business!”
“Mom...” Her eldest daughter-in-law came over to support her. “We’re not saying that you can’t use your money. No one has their eye on your money either. Everyone just thinks that it’s not a small sum of money. They’re just distressed that you gave it away to an outsider for nothing.”
“Do you think I’m not feeling bad about losing that money?” Song Tingshen’s great-aunt looked around at her children and their offspring. “Oldest son, do you not know where the money for buying your delivery car came from back then? Second son, have you forgotten where the money to buy a home when you got married came from? And third son, have you forgotten about the one hundred thousand yuan that I gave you when you want to leave here to start a business? Do you think that Song Tingshen doesn’t know what happened? Back then, I sold his parents’ two properties without permission. Have I not used the money from his parents’ accident and insurance payout on you guys? Our family was so poor back then. Have you guys forgotten why our family is able to live a good life now?!”
Once the old woman said these words, everyone fell silent.
Although they had said that the money was used on Song Tingshen, they knew what kind of life he had lived in their home back then.
It could be said that Song Tingshen’s living expenses while living here had only cost about 1/30th of the money left behind by his parents.
After Song Tingshen had gone to college, they hadn’t spent a single dime on him. He had worked to pay his tuition and living expenses.
Song Tingshen’s great-aunt continued, “I can see that he’s rich now, but he’s not the same person he was back then. We don’t know what he’s like in the capital city, but I know that all of you combined aren’t as good at scheming and as powerful as him. Also... We can’t afford to offend him. We can only avoid him. Just pretend that we don’t have this relative. No matter how well he’s doing, we shouldn’t go see him.”
This family weren’t total idiots. At the very least, they understood what she was saying.
They weren’t stupid. They could see that Song Tingshen was just pretending to be poor. Over ten years had passed since he lived with them, and he was no longer the poor boy who had gone to study in the capital city. They all knew that he was doing very well for himself in the capital city, but as for the exact details, they weren’t sure.
However, anyone that could do well in the capital and smoothly at that couldn’t be simple. Song Tingshen wasn’t a pushover. It was already obvious why he had come here today. Did he care about a hundred thousand yuan? Unlikely.
