Transmigrating with a Five Million Dollar Retirement Life

Chapter 242 The Retribution of the Wang Family

Old Mrs. Wang didn't see anyone by the river and guessed that Wang Chi and the others must have gone home, so she hurried to the foot of the mountain.

Everyone in the village knew about Song Jiaojiao's rebuilt courtyard, and she went to check on it every day.

That courtyard was built even more impressively than the courtyards of the wealthy people that Da Shan had mentioned.

Song Jiaojiao used to be rich, but she wasn't particular about where she lived; as long as she had enough room, it didn't matter.

However, as more and more servants arrived, and with her mother and Lady Cheng'en both coming, Song Jiaojiao had to reconsider building the courtyard.

Thinking that if we're going to build it, we should build it well, this time the courtyard directly includes the back mountain, so you can go directly to the back mountain from either the outside or the inside.

The back hill is now covered with all kinds of flowers by Song Jiaojiao, including many rare and precious varieties. As long as they are pretty, Song Jiaojiao will plant them wherever she wants, without caring whether the place is suitable for these precious flowers.

The villagers had never seen these flowers before, but they thought they were much prettier than the wildflowers on the mountain.

This gave Song Shi and Wang Chi's mother quite a fright.

They have to remember these flowers from a young age, and even if they don't know how to plant them, they still have to be able to talk about them.

Many of these flowers are not even found in their own household; they can only be seen in the imperial garden of the palace, and some are not even found in the imperial garden at all.

When Granny Wang arrived outside the courtyard, Song Jiaojiao and the others were just about to go in.

She rushed over and cried out, "My son, you're finally back! Your mother missed you so much, and was so worried that you might be thirsty or hungry!"

The villagers stared at the man wailing in bewilderment. The village chief looked awkwardly at Madam Chengen, having just learned from their conversation that this woman was Wang Chi's biological mother.

What exactly is Chen Fenfang trying to do, saying these things in front of someone's own mother as if the mother is going to abuse her son?

"Chen Fenfang, what are you doing? Jiaojiao and the others just arrived today, don't cause any trouble!!"

The village chief roared, while constantly winking at Wang Dashan.

As a result, Wang Dashan lowered his head and let his mother do whatever she wanted.

The village chief was so angry he laughed when he saw this. He realized that they had come to take advantage of his family.

Jiaojiao used to be low-key, and the Wang family had no idea how much money she had earned.

In addition, Wang Dashan had saved a rich man's son and received a generous reward, so he always thought he was doing better than Song Jiaojiao.

Except for the time when Jiaojiao made a scene when she moved into her new house, which was met with a shock from her third uncle.

I never came back after that. Now that I see Jiaojiao has built such a big yard, I realize what I missed. If only I had known!

"Chi'er, is this your adoptive mother?" Madam Cheng'en asked knowingly.

"Yes, Mother, I'll send someone to take her back right away." Wang Chi said, beckoning his subordinates over.

He was already short on time and could have stayed home for a while, but who knew that the journey would take so long.

He would stay at home for no more than two days before leaving, not wanting to waste his time on such things.

Madam Chengen raised her hand and slowly said, "Hello, madam. I am Chi'er's biological mother. I am very grateful for your care for Chi'er over the years."

I've heard that Chi'er has had the best of everything in your household these past years. Muzhi, give this lady one hundred taels of silver.

Mu Zhi took out a gold ingot directly; the gleaming gold was dazzling under the sunlight.

The villagers were all envious, even though Wang Chi ate the worst food and did the most work at the Wang family's house.

It was even worse after Old Master Wang died; otherwise, why would they have sent Wang Chi to serve in the army? It was something that could have been solved with money, but they insisted on sending Wang Chi instead.

After Wang Chi left, he became even more cruel to his wife and children, making the children so thin that they were shorter than their peers.

When Old Lady Wang saw such a large amount of gold swaying in front of her, her eyes widened. She had seen a hundred taels before, but she had never seen gold in this form.

She quickly reached out and took it, saying, "It's my duty, it's my duty. I treat Wang Chi like my own son."

As he spoke, he even bit the gold with his mouth, having heard that real gold is quite soft and can be bitten with teeth.

She carefully placed it in her arms only after leaving a notch in the mirror.

"You've just gotten home, you must be tired from your journey, so I won't bother you any longer. You go ahead with your work!" Old Mrs. Wang said with a smile, retreating from the crowd and disappearing in a flash with Wang Dashan.

Everyone was baffled. This old woman Wang put on this whole show just to get some money? That's incredibly short-sighted!

Wang Dashan couldn't understand his mother's actions either, and asked in confusion, "Mother, didn't we agree that we had to get into that courtyard today no matter what? Why are you giving up after just one hundred taels?"

"What do you know? Song Jiaojiao has already made enemies with us, it's not something that can be easily resolved."

Don't you see how many guards are around? Do you think you can beat them? The villagers aren't on our side; they're all sucking up to Song Jiaojiao. Even if we hold on, we have no chance of winning.

Besides, weren't we in the courtyard for the money too? Why not take this money that's already in our hands? We can go back in a couple of days.”

Wang Dashan found Old Lady Wang's explanation very reasonable.

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Only what you have in your hands is truly yours. "Mom, you're so smart."

Song Jiaojiao was unaware of what the two were thinking, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.

Song Jiaojiao was initially puzzled by Madam Chengen's actions, but she understood when she saw several people looking at the departing Granny Wang with ill intent.

It should be noted that in the past two years, because of Song Jiaojiao, many people from other villages have come to live in the village for a long time. The village chief is busy with his affairs every day, and there are always some oversights. He cannot check every household so carefully.

Money is the most tempting thing, especially a large sum of money. Who wouldn't want it when it's so blatantly displayed in front of them?

I'm afraid that Old Lady Wang was so engrossed in the joy of receiving one hundred taels of silver that she was completely unaware that she had been targeted.

Sure enough, a few days after Wang Chi left, a sharp scream in the village attracted the attention of the villagers.

I heard that Old Wang's house was burgled, and all the money and gold from last time were stolen.

The village chief had a headache looking at Old Lady Wang, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face.

Wang Pozi was truly heartbroken. So much money, all gone—it was her entire fortune!

"Wang, tell me exactly how much was lost? What's the use of just crying?"

The village chief looked at the person sitting on the ground and said helplessly.

He's such a troublemaker. He really doesn't want to get involved in her family's affairs, but what can he do? He's the village chief. He can't ignore it.

"Five hundred taels! My money! That heartless thief didn't leave me a single tael!"

Granny Wang cursed and cried at the same time, her powerful voice making the village chief's ears ring.

The surrounding villagers were shocked when they heard this!

I never imagined that the Wang family had so much money. No wonder I could smell the aroma of meat at their house every meal.

It's important to know that they only achieved freedom from sexual activity after Song Jiaojiao opened her workshop.

The Wang family is so rich, yet they still treated Song Jiaojiao's family so badly. Now they've gotten their comeuppance.
