1191 Pride Is Worthless
Luo Yu had thought that Zheng Yuan would be like He Mei, unwilling to marry anyone other than Xia Zhe. In her younger days, Zheng Yuan used to follow Xia Zhe everywhere. In the past, Zhuang Hua kept his feelings for Zheng Yuan to himself. Everyone knew what he was thinking, but as these two people were both very prideful, they all decided to stay out of it.

It was good to see the two of them together now. Zheng Yuan and Zhuang Hua were definitely a great match.

“Then you’d better make your way back. I still have a lot of things to do here, so I won’t send you off,” Luo Yu said with a smile.

“We haven’t seen each other for such a long time. Come to my house when you have time and let’s have a chat,” Zheng Yuan said.

“Then you have to ask Zhuang Hua if he allows me to go!” Luo Yu smacked Zhuang Hua’s shoulder and teased him.

Zhuang Hua deliberately said with a cold expression, “You still owe me a match. You can only enter my house after we compete.”

“You brat! It’s still early days for you and Zheng Yuan! I’m the one who grew up together with her. She’s like my younger sister! You only knew her much later, yet you still dare to be so smug in front of me. Be careful that I get Zheng Peng to beat you up!” Luo Yu threatened.

At the mention of Zheng Peng, the couple did not look too comfortable. Zheng Su would call Zheng Yuan every day to talk about the fact that Zheng Peng had found a girlfriend whom he did not like. Zheng Peng did not even go home to visit Zheng Su nowadays and the relationship between father and son had become much worse.

After Zheng Yuan and Luo Yu agreed on a time to get together again, she brought Zhuang Hua back to the Zheng family residence. The pitiful Luo Yu was left behind to continue cleaning the streets.
After the police arrested Jiang Yi’s group, they only chastised the group. Luo Yu had instructed them to just threaten her verbally. If Jiang Yi was really locked up, she would probably die in the detention center! At that time, they would not be able to explain themselves clearly!

Late at night, the police released them. However, on the way back, Tan Bo suddenly fell ill. It was probably because the visit to the police station had frightened him too much. He already had heart disease and high blood pressure, so it was possible that he fainted from the shock to his system.

“You good-for-nothing! Your parents were bullied so badly by others and you don’t even know how to speak up for us! Your father is sick now! Your eldest sister is also missing! Hurry up and think of a way!” Jiang Yi said in exasperation.

Tan Bao originally did not want to go with them today. If not for the fact that Jiang Yi said she could cheat the Xia family of some money and give him 50 dollars, he would not have gone willingly!

He was very busy nowadays! The young widow living at the village entrance liked to chat with him recently, but every time he wanted to reach for her hand, she appeared to be very unwilling.

If he could get some money to buy a few jewelry pieces for the young widow, she would definitely feel happy! Then he would be able to have a good time with her. She was so much prettier than the old hag he had at home!

“What can I think of? Aren’t you super capable, so why do you even need me? Just give me the money. I’m not going to have gone there for nothing today. I even accompanied you to the police station! Give me the money now!” Tan Bao said unreasonably.

Tan Bao was like their creditor. Other than asking for money, he had nothing to talk to them about.

“What money! Money from where! Doesn’t your father need money to buy medicine! You still have the cheek to ask us for money. You’re already an adult, but not only do you not know how to be filial to your parents, you even go around causing trouble for us!” Jiang Yi said.

“Yes, yes, yes. My eldest sister is the best. But how do you treat her? You make use of her and treat her like a piece of trash. Why are you pretending to be a good person in front of me? Are you going to give me the money or not! If you don’t give it to me… I won’t let my son come for visits in the future!” Tan Bao threatened.

As people got older, they would always want to get closer to their children. It was said that there was a closer bond between grandparents and grandchildren. Jiang Yi really liked her grandchildren. Every time the children came to the house, she would feel overjoyed. In the end, this also became something which the Tan brothers used to threaten her. As one got older, one seemed to become more afraid of being alone.

“There’s no money! Just five dollars! Get lost!” Jiang Yi reluctantly took out five dollars from her pocket and threw it on the ground. Tan Bao did not mind and picked up the money before leaving quickly.

How much was pride worth? Could it be exchanged for money?
