He forced me to sever ties with my family and sleep on a dilapidated boat, then turned around and be

Niu Bayi said, enunciating each word clearly, "That's my maternal grandmother, my own mother's mother. Is this meddling? If she's not doing well, I'll definitely care. What's going on here? Where's my grandmother?"

"If we don't find these people and get to the bottom of this today, Cao Hongshan! Cao Honghe! I'm telling you, this isn't over!"

Deng Ju immediately started shouting.

"Niu Bayi, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to keep this up with us? You're not even family. Your mother died a long time ago. What right do you have to yell at us like that? Oh, I see!"

"You're broke, aren't you? You've come to your grandma for money! Can't find grandma, so you're trying to bully us!"

Qiu Li also said sarcastically, "That's right, they must be coming to ask your grandmother for money. Over the years, that old hag has been out of her mind, made some money but instead of helping her family, she walked such a long mountain road to deliver it to you."

"She's such an ingrate!"

"We take care of her, and it costs so much money every month. We haven't seen her give us a single penny; it's all going to you."

"How dare you come here and ask your grandmother for money? How old are you? Don't you feel ashamed?"

Hearing his two wives say this, Cao Hongshan and Cao Honghe, who were initially embarrassed, straightened their backs and angrily rebuked Niu Bayi.

Da Cao: "Ba Yi, that's not right of you. You're being so hypocritical. You clearly came to ask your grandmother for money, so what? Just because you can't find her, it becomes that we're being unfilial to our elders?"

"They even went to the village chief to reason with him; that's going too far."

The two Caos said, "Shameless! What's the difference between you and a parasite? You come here asking an old man for money? You've completely disgraced the Niu family."

At this time, many villagers also came over to watch the excitement.

Hearing these words, they all stared at Niu Bayi with disdain.

Even Cao Bisheng frowned deeply.

"Bayi, you've gone too far! Your grandmother is over eighty years old, how can you still..."

He suddenly stopped before he could finish speaking.

His mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it.

His eyes were wide open, just like a bull's eyes!

Not only him, but all the villagers, including Chao Cao Hongshan and Cao Honghe, were also shocked, their jaws practically dropping.

Their eyes were filled with greed!

Niu Bayi suddenly pulled out several stacks of ten-yuan bills from his satchel.

This is thick; it must cost several thousand yuan.

Niu Bayi then handed the stack of money right under Cao Bisheng's nose.

He asked, "Village chief, what is this?"

Cao Bisheng could barely speak.

"This...this is money, and it's all in large sums of money! How...how do you have so much cash?"

Although he was the village chief, he had only ever seen a dozen or so large unity bills in his daily life.

I've never seen so many before, at least several hundred.

Niu Bayi then asked, "Village Chief, if I were to ask my grandmother for money, what's the maximum amount I could get from her?"

Cao Bisheng muttered, "At most... at most a few dollars, right?"

That solves it.

Niu Ba slapped the stack of banknotes hard in his palm.

"I have several thousand dollars on me, why would I ask my grandma for a few dollars? I only want to give her money, but unfortunately I can't find her, so I can't give her the money I want to spend!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

He used to be looked at with disdain, but now the look is different.

They all looked on with appreciation.

What a good grandson! He has money and knows to send flowers to his grandmother.

Cao Hongshan shouted, "Ba Ba...Ba Yi, where did you get so much money? Aren't you sick and about to die? How can you make so much money? You're not doing this through shady means, are you?"

Niu Bayi snorted.

"You keep saying I'm dead sick, calling me a sickly devil, can't you guys open your eyes and look at me? Do I look sick right now? Village chief, do you think I look sick?"

Cao Bisheng looked him up and down, then shook his head.

"No, not at all! He has a strong voice, a ruddy complexion, and bright eyes. Although he is a bit thin, he looks very energetic and has a commanding presence."

"He doesn't look sick at all."

"That solves it!"

Niu Bayi said, "My illness is completely cured. Now I go out to sea to fish every day, and I always catch big fish, so I've earned some money. I wanted to come see my grandma and take good care of her, but I never expected this!"

He sneered repeatedly as he said this.

"Cao Hongshan, Cao Honghe, this is your own mother. Now, where is she? You don't even know. The two families are just pushing each other around. Even if my grandmother is a decent person, you can't just pass the buck like this."

"Besides, she's a human being! She's your own mother!"

In the end, Niu Ba's voice was stern and fierce.

A group of villagers stared at the two families with strange looks.

They were stared at so intently that they couldn't even lift their heads.

Even when he looked up, he stared intently at the banknotes in Niu Bayi's hand.

His eyes grew increasingly greedy.

Cao Bisheng immediately rebuked them!

"See that? See that?! That's utter nonsense! You've completely disgraced our Xiaozhai Village! To use an old saying, you're judging others by your own petty standards! You're looking down on people!"

"Other people went out to sea to fish in August and earned several thousand yuan. What about you two? Can you even earn 1000 yuan a year together?"

"They even accused them of begging for money! How shameless! I spit on them!"

Both Cao Hongshan's and Cao Honghe's families were so humiliated that they couldn't even lift their heads.

Niu Ba took the money back, and Chong Cao Bisheng bowed.

"Thank you, village chief, for upholding justice, but the most urgent matter is finding my grandmother. Where is she?"

Just then, a villager in the crowd raised his hand high.

"I saw Grandma Cao a couple of days ago. She was digging for wild vegetables to eat on the hillside. I asked her why she went so far to dig for wild vegetables, but she didn't say anything and just worked silently."

He paused slightly, glanced at Cao Hongshan and Cao Honghe, and his face showed a hint of disdain.

"If Grandma Cao's eldest and youngest sons really don't support her, maybe she'll go live in the mountains. I remember there's a cave nearby where the Red Army stayed when they were fighting the Japanese."

"Perhaps it really is there."

He pointed with his hand towards a mountain in the distance.

The mountainside is probably about three kilometers away from here.

Without saying a word, Niu Bayi immediately turned around and strode over there.

Cao Bisheng thought for a moment, scratched the back of his head, and quickly followed.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and saw Cao Hongshan and Cao Honghe still standing there blankly. He was immediately furious.

"What are you standing there for, pretending to be a zombie?! Hurry up and go find your mother!"

"Even her grandson cares for her so much, how can her own son live with himself? No, does he even have a conscience? He was just saying that Grandma Cao earns some money but doesn't contribute to the household expenses, only giving it to her grandson, calling her an ungrateful wretch!"

"How dare you say such a thing!"

"Cao Hongshan! Cao Honghe! If it weren't for your mother, would you be alive now? Would you be able to get married and have children? Didn't she raise you with her own hands, changing your diapers and feeding you?"

"How foolish! Who's the ungrateful one here?!"

After that argument, both families wished they could bury their heads in their pants.

There was no other way but to hurry up and follow.
