Chapter 283: Chapter 241 Part 2 He felt that anger, previously suppressed, once again flare up within him. It was no less than his own feelings of resentment. Every time he thought of how unmercifully Qin Ye had squeezed him out at the flea market that afternoon, the fires of his rage blazed anew. Uncle had no sons, yet he favored that girl over his own nephews, which made no sense to him at all. Could it really be that Uncle wanted to leave the house and money to someone outside the family? He felt that Uncle must have lost his mind. Qin Ye’s gaze shifted, "Grandma, no matter what, you’re still Uncle’s mother! It’s been more than half a year... and he didn’t even bother to visit you after coming back—that’s really too much. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t acknowledge us, but how could he possibly not acknowledge you?" Rong Wenze was also filled with jealousy and didn’t mince his words, "Exactly, our elder brother has just lost all his conscience. Always saying there are no ungrateful parents in this world, yet after all his years of study, it seems like all of it has gone to the dogs." If it wasn’t for that damn girl forcing him to buy a house, he wouldn’t have to live so tightly strapped for cash. Thinking back on the half-year spent tightening his belt, his anger surged with each thought. Their family hadn’t eaten meat for months in order to repay debts, and on the rare occasions they did, it was only a small sliver, nowhere near enough to satisfy them. Rong Manman noticed Grandma Rong’s increasingly grim expression, "Grandma, if Uncle doesn’t come to visit you tomorrow, then you should go see him!" Her teeth, which had been knocked out by Rong Yan the last time, were eventually fixed to prevent her from looking too unsightly. However, even with her teeth fixed, it hadn’t been without consequence. For example, the relationship she originally had broke off, and even after several attempts with others, none had worked out. Now she was caught in a limbo—neither appealing to those of higher status nor willing to settle for those less attractive or poor. She was extremely anxious every day since if she did not marry soon, the gossip outside would be unbearable, with everyone saying she was an old maid who couldn’t find a husband. She truly detested that bitch Rong Yan. Rong Laoer’s words struck right at Grandma Rong’s heart. Indeed, she needed to check on her eldest son. Was he really going to be that heartless? "By the way, Grandma, Rong Yan’s man also came with her this time, and there’s another thing..." Rong Quankun looked up, "I suspect that Rong Yan and her husband may not leave this time. Somehow, they both managed to get into college." If the previous news was somewhat shocking, then this revelation was like a thunderbolt. Rong Laoer’s entire family nearly dropped their eyes in astonishment. The one with the most intense reaction was Rong Manman, who stood up so abruptly that her chair made a screeching noise. "Impossible... how could she possibly get into college?" She herself hadn’t been admitted, so how could someone who had lived in the countryside for two and a half years achieve it? And that lowlife of a man... just a country bumpkin, always dirty—there was no way he could have gotten into college, right? Or had the bar for entering college dropped so low that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could get in? "This, this can’t be possible..." Rong Wenze also disbelieved. The rest of the Rong family was equally incredulous. Rong Yan get into college? If that were feasible, she would have been admitted last year, not to mention her rural, mud-covered man. When Rong Quankun first heard the news, he too found it hard to believe. But the way it was described to him made it seem undeniable. "What do you mean impossible? Uncle personally told the neighbors, would he lie about such a thing?" Yu Suhui finally spoke up, her face sour with jealousy, "Even if she did get in, it must be one of the worse colleges, or maybe just a technical school." Rong Quankun had not actually found out which college Rong Yan and her husband had been admitted to, since he was too stunned at the time. As such, he hadn’t thought to ask. "Mother, let’s go have a look tomorrow, and I will accompany you..." Rong Wenze was determined to check out the situation himself. What kind of fortune had smiled upon Rong Wenming’s family for them to wind up like this? Not one of his many children got into college. It was infuriating to even think about. The only thing he had over Rong Wenming in life was his own children—he had three sons and a daughter, while Rong Wenming only had that worthless girl who wouldn’t even have anyone to break a funeral bowl for her when she passed. Thinking this eased his resentment somewhat, after all, being laughed at for not having sons was a fate he would not wish on anyone in those days. Grandma Rong said nothing but her expression suggested she agreed. Rong Manman returned to her room, and her face immediately twisted with fury. "Slut, slut..." Rong Yan had no idea someone was cursing her, but even if she did know, she wouldn’t have cared. "Qin Ye, where are you going?" The weather made the room a bit warm, but fortunately, there was an old electric fan blowing cool air. Without it, she would have truly suffered. Qin Ye paused, "I’m just going downstairs for a bit." Rong Yan:... Don’t I know you’re going downstairs? I just want to know what you’re doing down there, but after a second thought, she didn’t voice her question and merely waved her hand. "Then go ahead!" Qin Ye nodded, then added, "I’ll be right back." After speaking, he pushed open the door and walked out. He went downstairs and encountered his mother-in-law, who was still tidying up in the living room. "Oh, Qin, do you need something? Your luggage is over there. Just search there if you need anything." Qin Ye nodded, "Alright." He walked to the corner where the parcels were stored. He had initially planned to just search there, but then he decided to haul the two large parcels upstairs. Rong Yan glanced at the person coming in and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows. He had returned quite quickly. Seeing him appearing to be organizing things, she withdrew her gaze. However, lying alone on the bed, she felt somewhat bored, but at that moment, she didn’t feel like getting up. After a moment, her consciousness checked the Space Supermarket... Suddenly, she was startled and sat straight up. The supermarket was actually upgrading. She hadn’t felt a thing, and if she hadn’t thought about it just now, she would have had no idea. The last upgrade wasn’t like this. This time, the entire supermarket was cloaked in gray, displaying only a countdown until the upgrade was complete. It showed thirty hours left. That meant almost a day and a half to go. Rong Yan couldn’t help looking forward to what the supermarket would be like after the upgrade. Meanwhile, Qin Ye brought over a mosquito net, "Wife, scoot over to the middle, I’ll hang the mosquito net. That way, we won’t have to worry about mosquitoes at night." Rong Yan had sprayed some insect repellent in the room as a precaution, so she hadn’t really considered hanging a mosquito net. "Actually, it’s not necessary to hang it. We’re not staying for many days anyway, and I’ve sprayed some repellent, so there shouldn’t be many mosquitoes at night." "Let’s hang it just in case! The effect of your spray only lasts through the first half of the night. It’s much less effective later on." If he woke up, it was no issue; he could just spray a bit more. But if he didn’t wake up, then his wife would end up covered in bites. He couldn’t bear that. Rong Yan:... Fine! Whatever makes you happy, big brother! Qin Ye efficiently hung up the mosquito net. Rong Yan looked at the newly hung net and said, "Go hang mosquito nets in Qin Yu and Qin Mei’s rooms as well." She had bought one for every room when she made the purchase. Qin Ye: "I’ll bring it over and let them hang it themselves. They’re adults, they can surely hang a mosquito net." How could his brother and sister be the same as his wife? Everyone had a different place in his heart. For instance, Qin Yu and Qin Mei were different. Rong Yan:...
