As a line of people arrived at the Ling Village, it was seven and already dark. After getting off the boat, over ten of them hurried back home. When they nearly arrived at Zhao Dalong's house, they saw that a few people were sitting by the gate. Zhao&Han couple's face instantly darkened down, apparently they had guessed who they were.
Ling Jingxuan and Yan Shengrui glanced at each other. Last time when the couple used money to send them away, they had known they would come again, but only didn't expect this fast. As the saying goes, a man whose heart is not content is like a snake which tries to swallow an elephant. A hundred taels of silver was enough to sustain a farmer's family's food for ten years at least. But now, only after a few days, they came again. Do they really think other's money is blown over by the big wind?
“Tiewa, let me hold you, OK?
After receiving Ling Jingxuan's hint, Yan Shengrui stepped forward to block Han Fei's way, reached out his hands to grab Tiewa from him. The child seemed to have not found anything wrong, he just turned to take a look at Han Fei and then nodded.
“Let me. You take Xiaowen and Xiaowu.”
Taking over the child, Ling Jingxuan deliberately slowed down the pace to let Zhao&Han couple to hold those people first. Kids are sensitive. No matter what happened between the adults, he didn't want the kids to suffer.
“Adoptive daddy, hurry up. We are far behind daddy and others.”
Apparently Tiewa didn't know their good intention, only shouting to urge him there. Ling Jingxuan helplessly took a look at Yan Shengrui and could only pace up. And on the other hand, the Zhao&Han couple who had already walked by the gate looked coldly at those two men and woman before them. They were Tiewa's grandparents, big uncle and aunt. Last time it was also the four of them who came to make a scene. In order not to delay the jam business, they gave them a hundred taels of silver, never expected that…
“What are you doing here again? When we gave you money last time, you promised not to disturb us again.”
Han Fei was mad however, red eyes ruthlessly staring at them. What is wrong with those people? That's a total hundred taels of silver! Still not enough to shut their mouths?
“Who the hell are you? Get out of here!”
The old man, who seemed to be about forty or fifty years old, stared at him with disgust and then went directly over to Zhao Dalong, “Dalong, where have you been? Your mom and I have been waiting for a whole day. Where's my grandson? Why didn't I see him?”
The old man's eyes were cloudy and his face calculating, apparently that the last hundred taels had nourished their appetites.

Ignoring the old man's trying to be nice, Zhao Dalong walked over and embraced Han Fei's shoulder, and face his late wife's parents and brother. When he got married with his ex-wife, they had extorted a large sum of money out of him, which equaled that they sold their daughter to him. And after they got married, their days even couldn't maintain. Like they were afraid they might borrow money from them, before any festivals, they would have sent someone to inform them in advance that they didn't have to go. And his ex-wife also got grievances piled up because of that, which led to the metrorrhagia after giving birth. The most egregious thing is, from his ex-wife's death to her burial, whole three days, none of them came to take a look. And in the past five years, they had never had any contacts with him, until a few days ago… At the time, he really wanted to drive them out. If it hadn't been that they threatened him that they could tell everyone that he didn't allow the kid to see his grandparents and he forgot about his ex-wife's parents after remarrying, how could he ever have agreed to give them the money? Seen from now, the one hundred taels of silver was really like being throwing into the toilet.
“What are you say? Chunlan is gone, but our big grandson is alive and kicking. Don't we even have the right to visit our grandson as his grandparents?”
That mean-looking old woman came forward to point at his nose and shouted loudly, with her son and daughter-in-law behind wearing that cocky face. Last time Zhao Dalong took out one hundred taels of silver so readily, obviously, the rumors outside were true, he really made a lot of money. With such a big gold mine here, how could they not dig it?
“But last time you promised you would never show up again after taking the money! And only a few days, you already forgot about that?”
Han Fei angrily retorted her back. Those people really have gone too far! Do they owe them or what?
“You…who heard that? Or did we sign a note or what? Surnamed Han, you are just a second wife, in front of my daughter, you still have to respectfully call her elder sister. I am talking with Dalong. You have no position to cut in!”
The old woman stared at him insolently, her wrinkled old face showing her naked disdain. A man who married a man was despised by others no matter where he was. Even if they were a decent couple, it was still different from the marriage of a man and a woman.
“You are trying to calculate my family. Of course I have the position to say something! Why didn't you show up when she died five years ago? Where were you when Brother Long raised the kid alone in the past five years? What? Now you see that we get rich, then you come? Pooh! For your daughter's sake, I gave you the money last time. If I know this, I should have given the money to a beggar rather than you!”
