Transmigrated into a Parvenu's Ex-wife in the '90s

Chapter 330 - "Call the cops. We must call the cops now." (3)

“She, she just wants me to die~~~~~” Lin Zixiang rolled in the bed while holding onto her stomach. “I don’t want to live anymore. I am so sick already and my daughter still refuses to come and visit me. Will she only come after I die?”

“You look quite lively to me right now. I am sure you will be around for a while long. Anyways, if you wan to head to capital city, we can take off right now. If you don’t want to go today, then I am not going to wait around. Same words as Shu Yan, you have three sons and you them on a pedestal when you raised them. Why are you look for your daughter instead of any of your sons now?” He had never heard of such a thing within 8 villages and a 10-mile radius.

“Well, a daughter was given birth and raised by her parents too. Wasn’t there all the talking about equality between the two genders? Both sons and daughters are the same. Why is it the son’s problems now?” Wu Xianfeng chimed in all of a sudden.

“Exactly. I’ve looked into it. The cops told us that the daughters, too, are responsible for taking care of their parents when they get old. If she doesn’t take care of us, she’s breaking the law and we can sue her,” said Lin Zixiang as she sat up in bed.*

Shu Jianyang was so mad that he busted out laughing.

“That only applies if you have treated your sons and your daughter equally. You want your daughter to take care of you when you get old? That’s fine. Then you should also split your fortune evenly. How much income do you have? Your three sons had gotten married with the money that you received from selling off your daughter. Then you got money from your daughter to build houses for your three sons. And now you are saying that your daughter is also responsible for you in your old age. Does that even make sense? If you are to sue her, the court just make take your houses and give them to Shu Yan. That is just going to be very embarrassing. Embarrassing yourself is one thing. Grandma just might beat you two to death if you dare embarrass the old Shu family.”

Shu Youfu and Lin Zixiang exchanged a look. Old Mr. Shu was, indeed, one who cared a lot about his reputation. If they dare to do anything that would taint the old Shu family’s reputation, it was very likely that Old Mr. Shu would beat them with his cane.

“Don’t you try to intimidate us. So what if you are a boss now? Is that how you talk to your elderlies?” Shu Jianbin had been disgruntled with Shu Jianyang for a while now. “You are only making money now because of Shu Yan. If it wasn’t for her, where else did you get the capital to start your own business and buy your big houses and cars? These should all have been mine.”

Shu Jianyang gave him a smile that was not a smile. Ah, he finally said what was on his mind this entire time. That was something!

“That’s very unfortunate. Shu Yan only considers me as her brother. It wasn’t her fault that her real brothers are scums. Yes, I have money and power now. And what are you going to do about that? I am going to say it out loud right now. Don’t bother looking for me when you go to the city. And it wouldn’t do you any good going to Grandpa either. Feel free to try if you want.” Shu Jianyang looked at them piercingly and each and every single one of them shrank back and none of them dared to meet his eyes.

Now that he was in business, he was always in his suit and looked like a boss. They had forgotten what he was in the past.

Whether it was back then or now, Shu Jianyang’s crew that worked under him was not anyone that they would like to come across. Besides, now that he was rich, he had befriended many officials up there. When he visited now, even the officials in town would invite him to dinner, let alone those in the village. It was change of terms next year, and some were already suggesting for Shu Jianyang’s father to become the head of the village and many others seconded the idea.

And that was exactly how people were. When one was nobody, no matter how well one did, other would still be able to find faults with them. When one was successful, one would be able to do anything and others would still praise them. Who was it that said villagers were simple? They were very smart and could also be very petty sometimes.

Now that Shu Jianyang had become a big boss, anything that he had done in the past turned into his accomplishments. Even his grandfather and his father did not see him as someone from a younger generation. His authority had long since exceeded that of his older brother and even his grandfather and father would sometimes consult his opinions occasionally on various things.

With Shu Jianyang being such a strong character, there was not much that Shu Youfu and his family could do.

Translator’s rambling:

Blood continues to boil... (starting from the first sentence >.<) Why did I decide to translate this book?! LOL

*I am not familiar with the law in China (90s or current). But that’s some strange laws if it is true.
