Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 789 - 778: Nouveau Riche
Capital, after Cai Gen Sheng, Cai Zhaodi, and Cai Jinbao spent all their money without finding Cai Baoqin, they were finally at their wits’ end.
"Head of the family, what should we do? If we don’t find that damned girl, the innkeeper will kick us out." Cai Zhaodi said anxiously.
Cai Jinbao’s expression was even worse, he said impatiently, "I don’t want to sleep on the streets, Dad, Mom, I’m the only child of the Cai family, how can you bear to see me suffer? What if it affects my health?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Zhaodi became even more anxious, "Exactly, Jinbao is right, it’s getting colder, we can’t sleep outside, what if we freeze?"
Cai Gen Sheng, puffing on his dry tobacco which was all he had left, squinted through the smoke, then spat fiercely: "Go to the newspaper office, let’s place a missing person ad."
Cai Zhaodi’s eyes showed fear and panic, "But... but we have no money, can we place an ad without money?"
"We are considered advanced elements, just go to the government newspaper office, I don’t believe they won’t help us."
"Can it really work?"
"It definitely will," Cai Jinbao’s eyes sparkled, "My brother-in-law is a high-ranking official, he is bound to see it. Once we find her, we’ll be living the good life again."
"Then let’s try it, but what should we say when we get there?"
"Ordinary missing person notices won’t draw attention, just say that I, as her father, am seriously ill and want to see her one last time."
"Pfft, isn’t that cursing myself? Should we come up with another excuse? Otherwise, won’t it be exposed when we meet?"
"So what if it’s exposed? Finding her is what’s important. My son-in-law is a high-ranking official, he definitely won’t want to lose face in front of others; he will smooth it over."
Yan Family Mansion, Cai Baoqin looked helpless and at a loss as she faced Yan Juan and Yan Lili: "Second sister, Lily, you really misunderstand me, I didn’t mean to embarrass Jianjun, why can’t you believe me for once? Now that the country is encouraging economic development, why can’t I go out and do business?"
"What would you know about doing business, coming from the countryside? Does our Yan Family really need your petty cash?" Yan Juan said contemptuously.
Yan Lili also snorted coldly, "Don’t go out and embarrass my dad. Although I don’t acknowledge you, since you married my dad, your main task is to take care of him. You know nothing about doing business, aren’t you just going to lose my dad’s money again?"
"You..." Cai Baoqin’s eyes reddened instantly, but her choked voice was tinged with the same cunning as her own father, Cai Gen Sheng, "Second sister, Lily, even if you look down on me, you shouldn’t insult me. Since I married Jianjun, I’ll definitely take good care of him, but taking care of Jianjun and doing business are not conflicting things. Just because I come from the countryside doesn’t mean I can’t have insights, does being rural mean I can’t enter the city? If Jianjun is willing to finance my business, don’t I deserve it?"
"You know yourself that you don’t deserve it," Yan Juan scoffed, rolling her eyes.
Hearing this, Cai Baoqin not only didn’t get angry, but a sneer crept on her face. Sure enough, immediately after, the door of the upstairs study was flung open, and out stepped three men with gloomy faces.
"Second sister, I didn’t know you despised the wife I married so much," Yan Jianjun said with a dark face. "I know the second sister has always looked down on me, but what did Baoqin do wrong? What’s wrong with being a country person? Do you still remember how our country was liberated? It was millions of country people who achieved our new China, are you opposing the government by looking down on country people?"
"You... you are being unreasonable," Yan Juan said with an embarrassed face, especially when she saw Old General Yan’s stern face, she was even more afraid.
"Apologize," Old General Yan commanded coldly.
"I..." Yan Juan opened her mouth, and finally, suppressing the humiliation, she bowed her head to Cai Baoqin, "Sorry, sister-in-law."
"No worries," Cai Baoqin said with a strong smile, "After all, I suddenly barged into this family, it’s normal for the second sister and Lily not to accept me yet."
"You’ve been married to me for three months now, Lily is young and doesn’t understand things, but is second sister the same as Lily, not understanding things?" Yan Jianjun said with an iron-blue face, then somewhat self-mockingly smiled at Mr. Yan, "Dad, I know what my mom did back then was wrong, and it’s normal for you, my brother, and second sister to resent me, but I am a man, if I can’t even protect my own wife, what’s the point of me living in this world?"
"Third son, what are you saying?" Old General Yan’s face grew even darker.
"Dad, I’m not blaming you, my brother, or my sister. Debts of the mother fall to the son, I don’t expect the second sister to be very good to me, but Baoqin is innocent, so the words I just said to you, you agreed, right? It would be good for everyone."
"Third brother, you know, the eldest brother has never blamed you, we are a family, why should we move out? What would others think?" Yan Jian Country said gently persuading with a calm face.
"I don’t care what others think, I only know that my woman has no dignity in this house, I only know that my daughter has been spoiled till her nature has twisted, so I must move out," Yan Jianjun said feeling quite disheartened.
"Dad!" Yan Lili was the first to be unhappy when Yan Jianjun said this. What does he mean by this? Spoiled, nature twisted? What did she do wrong? It’s all Cai Baoqin’s fault; ever since she entered this house, her dad has been treating her worse and worse.
"I won’t leave, I want to live with grandpa, uncle, and auntie," she sulked.
"Lily, be obedient," Yan Jianjun said, holding his patience, with a dark face.
"I won’t."
"This..." Cai Baoqin looked at Yan Lili, then at Yan Jianjun, and lastly glanced at Old General Yan before lowering her head and pretending magnanimously in a low voice, "Jianjun, since everyone disagrees, maybe we should not move for now, besides, Lily is used to living in the mansion, moving hastily is not good for her studies either."
Hearing this, both Old General Yan and Yan Jian Country’s faces looked better. It seems that the third son’s wife, though from the countryside, still understands the big picture.
However, hearing this only made Yan Jianjun feel more strongly than ever that they must move out of this house. He didn’t bring Cai Baoqin from the small mountain village to suffer with him. Nowadays, women doing business isn’t something shameful, the country encourages economic development vigorously, why can’t Baoqin do it?
She had once told him her plans and her grand aspirations. He didn’t want her to conform to staying at home, nor did he want to waste her talent. His brother had his father, and in the future, he could only rely on his like-minded wife for mutual support. Staying in the mansion would only restrict her, so he must move out.
