Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

"I didn't accept her kindness for nothing. I'm providing her with emotional value. Rich people don't lack money, but they lack emotional value."

"What emotional value? I don't even know where they learned that."

Yao Menghe chuckled: "Mom, don't worry about it. Rich people like it anyway."

Yao Feiran had previously suggested that they move to the county town, but Mr. and Mrs. Chen refused. They were used to living in the countryside, cultivating a few acres of land, raising some chickens and ducks, and knowing their neighbors so they could visit each other anywhere.

"Feiran, I heard you had a boyfriend before. How's the relationship going? Is there any hope of taking it to the next level?"

"No, we broke up a long time ago."

Why?

"He hit someone."

"Oh dear, it's time to break up."

Mr. Chen stood up nervously: "He hit you! Why didn't you tell us? Dad's going to find him!"

"It's okay, I didn't suffer any loss."

After some more words of comfort, Chen's mother said, "Tomorrow we're going to Grandma's house, and the day after tomorrow we're going to Grandma's house. Remember to wear your new clothes and dress smartly."

Yao Menghe pouted: "I don't like those relatives, they all look down on us."

"Silly child, you're going to see your grandparents, not anyone else."

Chen's father was a sent-down youth before. Because his eldest brother inherited his father's job, and his other younger siblings were too young, he was the only one sent down to the countryside. Later, after he got together with Chen's mother, he stayed in the village. By the time he took the college entrance examination, he was too old, and everyone else was doing better than them.

The original owner's grandfather, Yao Xijun, lived on the first floor of an old residential building in the county town. He had a large courtyard. When they arrived, everyone else was already there.

The original owner's grandmother, Wang Ying, said with a smile, "Oh my, Fei Ran and Meng He are getting more and more beautiful, and Zhou Zhou is a handsome young man too."

Yao Menghe ran over and said, "Grandma, you look so beautiful in your bright red dress today."

"You're so sweet-talking."

Wang Ying handed out red envelopes to the group. At this moment, Li Hong, the wife of the original owner's uncle, suddenly spoke up: "Oh, this red envelope looks thicker than ours. Mother-in-law, you are too biased. They are all grandchildren, how can you show favoritism to one over the other?"

The original owner's uncle pretended to be angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

This sentence immediately created an awkward silence. The original owner's grandfather had a retirement pension, but it wasn't high. He often gave it to the original owner's family as a subsidy, which made the other children unhappy.

Actually, Yao's parents were quite hardworking, but they were unlucky. Decades ago, they tried growing off-season greenhouse vegetables and made some money at first, but then they invested it all back into the business. However, that summer there was too much rain, which soaked the seedlings and ruined them. They tried other things afterward, but none of them worked. In the end, they had to go out to work to make a living.

Because Yao's father was the poorest child in the family, Wang Ying would always secretly give him some money and help take care of his grandchildren. Coincidentally, that year, the original owner's aunt, Li Hong, also gave birth to a child, and there was no one to help take care of him, so the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not good.

From the perspective of the uncle's family, the parents did not treat each other equally, so they disliked the original owner's family.

Grandma Yao's idea was that the eldest son took a job and stayed in the city, while the second son went to the countryside and never returned to the city in his entire life, so she should help him more.

Yao Xue smoothed things over, saying, "Oh dear, you must have mistaken me. I see no difference. Let's all come inside and sit down; it's too cold outside."

Yao Xue is the original owner's aunt, the fourth child. She is good at speaking, but she is also shrewd and calculating. In fact, she looks down on Yao's parents from the bottom of her heart.

Yao Menghe also noticed something and said unhappily, "Grandma, there are still many things in the car, which I specially brought for you."

Yao Xue asked in surprise, "Second Brother, you even bought a car?"

Mr. Yao chuckled: "They're all worthless, just a bread cart."

"I see."

Yao Xue's expression quickly returned to normal.

Although Yao Feiran gave her parents a lot of money, they wouldn't buy them luxury cars. They even compared prices several times before buying a van, just for the sake of convenience.

Mr. Yao turned around and took things out of the car, including various famous wines, cigarettes, and fruits he couldn't name.

Wang Ying said irritably, "Why bring so much stuff? It's a waste of money."

The original owner's grandfather, Yao Xijun, smoked and drank. Looking at these things, he laughed so hard his eyes couldn't open. But when he leaned closer to take a closer look, his eyes widened instantly, and his smile vanished.

Yao Xue immediately sensed something was wrong: "Second Brother, these things of yours look real. They must have cost at least tens of thousands."

"What?! Over ten thousand!"

Mr. Yao almost dropped his hands while carrying the things.

Yao Menghe also showed a look of shock, and then almost cried with emotion.

Su Yuzhi is too good; she will always be her lackey.

Yao Xijun was stunned for a long time. His second son had given him hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of cigarettes and alcohol. Did he deserve to eat them?

Wang Ying glared at Yao's father: "Second son, tell me what happened?"

Yao's father: "..."

He drinks a little baijiu (Chinese liquor) at most, and he knows it's expensive, but he didn't know it was this expensive.

Yao Feiran explained, "My sister got into a prestigious school because of her good grades. Su Yuzhi, the daughter of the richest man in Yihua City, is in the same class as my sister. Su Yuzhi sent a driver to bring my sister back and delivered these things."

"Should we return something this expensive to someone else?"

Yao Feiran: "These things are very expensive to us, but they are nothing to them. Su Yuzhi also treats her like a younger sister and a friend."

These words silenced everyone present.

This time, her family became the focus of the entire event, with everyone surrounding Yao Menghe and asking her questions. Seeing how quickly their expressions changed, Yao Menghe's tone became somewhat perfunctory.

Li Hong's expression wasn't good, and she didn't go over. Her family wasn't short of tens of thousands of yuan, and besides, what did friendships formed in school really mean? She figured the other party was just casually dismissing her, and she'd be exposed for what she was made of once she entered the workforce.

Yao Feiran and her family left after finishing dinner.

Yao's father returned home looking rather grim.

Yao's mother asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. My parents returned all the cigarettes and alcohol to us, only keeping the fruit, telling us to go to the store to exchange it for money."

Yao's mother nodded: "Yes, this stuff gives me nightmares every night, it's too expensive."

Yao Feiran: "...It's not that bad."

After a long while, Yao's father finally spoke in a low voice.

"My older brother and younger sister asked me to borrow money, but I refused. Then they tried to take the gifts, but Dad stopped them and secretly put them in my car."

Yao's mother also sighed.

During their most difficult time, Yao's father fell seriously ill and asked them for money, but they all refused without exception. It was his mother and mother who had to go out of their way to raise money.

It's not wrong not to lend it, but it hurts the relationship.
