Chapter 846: Chapter 846: Remarriage 8

Later on, He Hongmei graduated from university, got a job, and became a teacher. How prestigious that was! Meanwhile, Liang Tao also made a name for himself by becoming a school leader in the town. He Second Aunt kept boasting as if she was He Hongmei’s benefactor, claiming that if it weren’t for her generosity in supporting her younger sister-in-law’s college education years ago, could her sister-in-law have the good life she has now?

Then, using this excuse, He Second Aunt never missed a chance to pilfer something from He Hongmei’s to take home.

According to He Zhilan, if you were to describe her Second Aunt, she definitely was someone who would not give away a single hair of her own possessions, yet coveted emptying others’ houses into her own. Anything bad, she would go and trample further; anything good, she would rush to claim it as her own glory.

Of course, there’s also the severe preference for sons over daughters. He Second Aunt only had a son and a daughter; the son was her treasure, while the daughter was dispensable. Although she didn’t abuse her daughter, she definitely wasn’t particularly caring either, it was more like laissez-faire.

Other people’s children were like weeds in the eyes of He Second Aunt; she cherished her own son like the apple of her eye. Yet, it was her son who ended up in prison years ago for robbery and assault. Because the victim had some connections, he was convicted with a heavy sentence and hasn’t been released to this day.

Because of this, He Second Aunt resented the Liang Family even more, blaming them for not helping back then, which led to her son still being in prison eating jail food.

That’s why He Zhilan was worried. If He Second Aunt went to the capital and found out that He Zhilan had started a company, was making money, and had influential friends around, who knows what kind of trouble He Second Aunt would stir up.

"Our Second Uncle and cousin are the only reasonable ones in that family," He Zhilan sighed, "I’d only like to invite Second Uncle and cousin, but if I do that, I’m afraid Second Uncle might overthink it."

"We definitely have to invite the whole family, just excuse your Second Aunt but have a pretext ready!" her father said, "Otherwise, I will talk to him myself, see if he can do something."

He Zhongguo also felt helpless about this sister-in-law. Lately, as the He Family’s circumstances improved, He Second Aunt had come over many times asking for money, her reasons more ridiculous each time!

She even claimed that originally when the He Family was poor and insisted on providing for He Zhilan and He Dongxue’s education, her family lent them money. Was it due to her that He Zhilan and He Dongxue had the opportunity to study? Meaning, their success upon graduating from university was her doing.

But what really happened? That money was secretly borrowed by He Zhongjun without He Second Aunt’s knowledge, but it wasn’t long before He Second Aunt found out, stormed over, and demanded the money back. The money stayed with the He Family for merely two days. Knowing his own brother was also helpless, He Zhongguo had never again borrowed money from his brother’s family, no matter how tough times got.

Thus, what He Zhongguo feared most was that once He Second Aunt went with them to the capital and found out that He Zhilan now had money, it was bad enough if she only asked for money. What he feared most was that she would find out about the influential people around He Zhilan in the capital, and upon returning would cause a scene trying to get her son out of jail or outright claiming that the He Family had connections in the capital and then causing trouble at the police station.

This was also what He Zhilan was most worried about; at this time, He Zhilan absolutely could not let such a thing happen, because no one could guarantee whether there were pairs of eyes from the Shen Family watching everyone around Xing Ye.
