Chapter 56

Poor people can\'t afford any mishaps and have no room for mistakes.

Although the house was old, it was in a good location. It was valued at around 300,000 RMB. Yu Shu asked help from the principal to sell it at half price to Feng Shuo, a famous local tyrant in the county town.

Yu Shu had not gone to the old house yet when she ran into her uncles Yu Hai and Yu Jiang on her way back home.

Yu Shu rolled down the car window with an ambiguous smile, "Uncle Yu Hai, Uncle Yu Jiang, long time no see."

"Don\'t pretend to be nice to me. I\'m asking if you are trying to sell that old house!" Yu Jiang yelled, pointing his finger at her, "You bastard, you think you are capable now? You want to kick your father out?"

Yu Hai played good cop and stopped Yu Jiang. He said to Yu Shu, "Shu Shu, we are one family. You should at least discuss it with us before selling the house. Your two uncles are not capable enough that we still don\'t have our own houses at this age. Could you give us a cheaper price?"

When Yu Shu\'s grandfather was alive, their big family lived in the rural area below the county town. Shortly after Ye Ping married Yu Feng, she had a fight with her father-in-law. It was said they almost got into a physical fight. Ye Ping got very mad, couldn\'t stay at home anymore, and went out with Yu Feng to make a living. They only moved back to the county town when Yu Shu was in middle school to provide her better education.

After the old man passed away, Yu Hai and Yu Jiang were even more reluctant to go back to the countryside. There was nothing left for them to go back to, not even food or supplies from the family. Yao Jinhua was lazy and couldn\'t live by herself. No one had lived in those dilapidated tile-roofed houses for years.

At their age, Yu Hai and Yu Jiang didn\'t even have a place to stay.

However, Yu Shu didn\'t feel bad for them at all. They had made a lot more money than Ye Ping and Yu Feng but spent it all. When they were out of money, they came asking like hungry locusts.

Yu Shu looked at them leisurely, "Sure, the house is worth 300,000 RMB at least. I\'ll give uncles 20% off, how about 240,000 RMB?"

Yu Hai\'s face froze, "Second uncle doesn\'t have that much money. Can you give us a better price?"

"How much can second uncle offer then?" Yu Shu asked with a smile.

"Second uncle and third uncle can pool together 20,000 RMB at most."

Yu Shu sneered, "20,000? You want the house for free?"

"Don\'t say that. We are one family. How could we take advantage of you? Both our families are struggling, right? We will pay you back every penny when we have money in the future!"

"Nice words. But I\'m young, not stupid," Yu Shu said coldly. "Haven\'t you taken enough advantage of us already?"

Yu Jiang got very mad and yelled, "You bastard bitch! You\'d better agree! If not, I\'ll make sure you can\'t sell the house! I\'ll stop anyone who tries to buy it!"

The angrier Yu Jiang got, the happier Yu Shu became, "Do you know who I\'m selling the house to? Feng Shuo."

"Uncle, I can\'t wait to see how you\'ll stop him." Yu Shu rolled up the window and drove away.

To avoid future troubles, Yu Shu quickly finished the property transfer procedures. She didn\'t even go to the old house. Feng Shuo helped to drive Yu Hai and Yu Jiang away.

As for the money from selling the house, Yu Shu gave all 300,000 RMB to Ye Ping. She didn\'t mention selling it at half price.

The first couple of days after returning home, Yu Shu was fine with Ye Ping. But on the second day after the house was sold, Ye Ping started making troubles.

She heard from others that Yu Shu was unemployed now with unsteady high income. It would be hard for her to find a husband. Ye Ping listened to gossips and urged Yu Shu to take the civil servant exam or get a teacher qualification to have an iron rice bowl.

At dinner that day, Ye Ping started preaching again, "The branch president of the Postal Savings Bank in the next county only has an associate degree, but he made it to branch president. With your bachelor\'s degree, you must have a shot. The bank will start recruiting next month. You should give it a try."

Yu Shu got very annoyed, "It took him at least 20 years to make branch president. Can you compare associate degree holders 20 years ago with bachelor\'s degree holders nowadays? You listen to nonsense every day and repeat them to me like reciting scriptures. If you are incapable and lacking insights, stop preaching to me!"

The three words "no capability" poked at Ye Ping\'s pain point. She scolded Yu Shu for being ungrateful and not appreciating how much she had suffered raising her. Now that Yu Shu could stand on her own, she looked down on her parents.

Their conversation quickly turned into an argument. Yu Shu didn\'t want to talk anymore, threw down her chopsticks and left.

After returning to Rong City, when Yu Shu just finished showering and was about to go to bed, she received a call from Yan Ming saying her brother Yu Yang was grabbed into an alley and badly beaten on his way home from evening self-study class. His right arm was seriously fractured.

After the initial shock and panic, Yu Shu soon calmed herself down. She asked Yan Ming to contact the county hospital ambulance and send Yu Yang to Huaxi Hospital as soon as possible. After hanging up Yan Ming\'s call, she urgently contacted Dr. Zheng, asking him to get emergency treatment and surgery ready to save Yu Yang\'s right hand without any future issues.

With two calls made, Yu Shu was drenched in cold sweat, hands trembling.

Just when she wanted to call Feng Shuo, she received a call from Ye Ping. As soon as she picked up, Ye Ping cried out, "It\'s all because of you! You made your brother suffer! You should be hacked into pieces..."

While crying, Ye Ping hurled abuse at Yu Shu. She was too emotional to make any sense. After half a day of useless rambling, Yu Shu directly hang up, her face pale.

Yu Shu mumbled to herself, "Yu Shu, you have half a minute."

She closed her eyes, took deep breaths to calm herself down. Half a minute later when she opened her eyes again, she had regained her usual composure.

"Hello Feng Ge. Sorry to bother you so late. Please help me with this. My brother got beaten up."

No matter who did it, she would return the favor a hundredfold.
