When summer vacation started for JingJing, Shu Yan took three days off for Tianbao and the three of them along with Feng Zeyu packed for their trip.

“If you are all going to be gone, I might as well take some time off to visit my hometown as well.” Aunty felt that it was wrong for her to stay and collect her pay when nobody was home and there was nothing to do.

“You don’t need to do that, Aunty. Take time off if you need to make a trip back; otherwise, you can stay.” The amount was not significant to Shu Yan.

“I’ve been here for over 6 months already. I would like to pay a visit. I’ll be back a day or two earlier to clean up. It will be fine.” Partly, Aunty felt that it wasn’t right to stay there by herself, partly it was also because she did want to go take a look. She was a little homesick after this long time.

“Mom, 50,000 yuan. That was 50,000 yuan we were talking about. Little sister donated them just like that?” Shu Jianxiang was close to tears. “Why couldn’t she have just given that to us? That is almost enough to buy a house in town.”

“What is the point of saying this now? Why didn’t you say something earlier?” asked Shu Jianbin sarcastically.

“I didn’t see you speaking up either.” He wasn’t that much better than him. The pot was calling the kettle black.

“Alright. Stop with the fighting already. You’ve heard them. From now on, every one of you will be giving us 250 jin of wheat, 250 jin of millets, and 2,500 yuan every year.” Shu Youfu’s words exploded among the brothers like a bomb.

It was obvious that this had nothing to do with the three brothers but targeted only Shu Yan for that amount of money and food.

Shu Jianyang slammed his hand down on the table. “Don’t push it. 1,000 jin of wheat and 1,000 jin of millets add up to 4,000 jin of wheat and 4,000 jinof millets. Do you have 10 stomachs to be able to eat that much food? And 10,000 yuan on top of that? Have you lost your mind over money? No family in the village even make 10,000 yuan a year. If you only want Shu Yan to pay for you in our old age, just say so. Stop coming up with these impractical plans.”

They were out of their minds. A government employee only made 450 yuan a month. That didn’t even add up to 10,000 yuan a year. And the two were asking for 10,000 yuan from each of them.

With the help of Shu Yan and Shu Jianyang, for sure the road for the village would be done.

The opinion of all of the villagers including the Village Party Secretary and the Village Director toward Shu Yan had changed instantly. They had always been bystanders to whatever Shu Youfu and Lin Zixiang had done to Shu Yan. Those were, after all, their family business. Now that Shu Yan had done such a big favor for the village, it was only natural for them to help Shu Yan out.

Shu Jianyang pulled out the agreement that Shu Yan had mentioned earlier and the Village Party Secretary read it in front of Shu Youfu and the other.

“Do you understand it now?” The Village Party Secretary felt that Shu Yan was truly a good child. As a daughter and that there were so many brothers at home, it really should not be her job to support her parents when they grew old.
