Chapter 859: Receiving the Award (5)
He only regretted that he shouldn’t have been so hasty to agree to it back then. He should have fought to the end for thirty or fifty thousand from that rich person, then his family would also have a car by now.
Hu Yun thought this, and regretted it more and more.
Liu Mei, however, was green with envy until her eyes turned red.
She had just caused a commotion at the Ruan Family this morning, and they brought back two cars in the afternoon. She did not believe that crap about winning a big prize, winning two cars just like that, treating everyone else as fools!
Watching the Ruan Family welcoming several prestigious people from the village into their house, including Wu Guoqun, a thought suddenly struck her, her eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted: "Captain, Captain, the Ruan Family has struck it rich, eh? Why don’t you ask them if what they said two years ago still counts?"
Ever since Liu Mei’s hands became disabled, she rarely interacted with the villagers. Her sharp and piercing shout indeed startled everyone.
Xiu Jianlin was standing not far from her, mooching off the celebration cigarettes that Ruan Jiandang was handing out. Hearing Liu Mei’s voice, he trembled, and his cigarette fell to the ground, covered in ash. He was so distressed that he quickly bent down to pick it up.
Before Liu Mei’s hands were disabled a few years ago, their financial situation wasn’t that bad, and he could occasionally enjoy a smoke. But two years ago, all their savings went into Liu Mei’s hand treatment, and they were left with a mountain of debt.
So even smoking a pipe, he had given up. Today, he had finally seen the Ruan Family giving out cigarettes and, despite feeling somewhat embarrassed, he still ran over to score some.
But just as he received a cigarette, he heard his wife causing a scene behind him. He was both angry and anxious.
