Chapter 279 - 278: Considering I am Your Ancestor
Village Chief Wang had been the chief for many years and always managed to bring convenience to his own family. His home had thirty acres of fertile land, and over the years he had also taken advantage of his position to receive numerous tributes from the villagers. Additionally, with the interests collected and the earnings of his children that went into the common pot, and being a stingy rich man as he was, the family possessed a substantial fortune of at least a hundred or so Silver, all held tightly in his own hands.
How could he have secured his position as the village chief if he wasn’t shrewd? After his first wife died, he wanted to remarry. But being old, had it not been for his status and a bit of money in hands, how could he have attracted Mrs. Hu, a young wife young enough to be his daughter?
Although he had taken a young wife, he wasn’t completely blinded by beauty to give all his assets to Mrs. Hu. He was cautious, because with such an age difference, if all the Silver ended up in Mrs. Hu’s hands, wouldn’t he lose all his leverage?
Thus, no matter how coquettishly Mrs. Hu acted or how much she tried to charm him, he always kept a tight grip on his money bag, only letting out a little to appease her. His guard relaxed somewhat after they had a son, but he still kept the majority hidden.
Indeed, he was right to be cautious. This vile woman had long been unfaithful behind his back, even leading to her own death, and that adulterer?
Village Chief Wang glared furiously at his third son, his eyes blood-red with resentful energy. Had he known this son would turn out to be so rotten, he should have smothered him in a cesspit at birth.
Wang Sanquan felt a chill run through him and looked towards Wang Dayong, saying, "Big brother, you are the eldest, you decide how to handle this."
They definitely had to get their hands on the Silver, and since Mrs. Hu didn’t have it, it fell to the eldest brother to decide. If he delayed their father’s spirit release ceremony, it would be considered unfilial.
Wang Dayong was furious, but a glimpse of Qin Liuxi steadied his heart. He said, "No need to bother, there’s already a true master who has identified the problem with our father."
A true master, who?
