The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 859: Receiving the Award (5)

He only regretted that he shouldn’t have been so hasty to agree to it back then. He should have fought to the end for thirty or fifty thousand from that rich person, then his family would also have a car by now.

Hu Yun thought this, and regretted it more and more.

Liu Mei, however, was green with envy until her eyes turned red.

She had just caused a commotion at the Ruan Family this morning, and they brought back two cars in the afternoon. She did not believe that crap about winning a big prize, winning two cars just like that, treating everyone else as fools!

Watching the Ruan Family welcoming several prestigious people from the village into their house, including Wu Guoqun, a thought suddenly struck her, her eyes lit up, and she immediately shouted: "Captain, Captain, the Ruan Family has struck it rich, eh? Why don’t you ask them if what they said two years ago still counts?"

Ever since Liu Mei’s hands became disabled, she rarely interacted with the villagers. Her sharp and piercing shout indeed startled everyone.

Xiu Jianlin was standing not far from her, mooching off the celebration cigarettes that Ruan Jiandang was handing out. Hearing Liu Mei’s voice, he trembled, and his cigarette fell to the ground, covered in ash. He was so distressed that he quickly bent down to pick it up.

Before Liu Mei’s hands were disabled a few years ago, their financial situation wasn’t that bad, and he could occasionally enjoy a smoke. But two years ago, all their savings went into Liu Mei’s hand treatment, and they were left with a mountain of debt.

So even smoking a pipe, he had given up. Today, he had finally seen the Ruan Family giving out cigarettes and, despite feeling somewhat embarrassed, he still ran over to score some.

But just as he received a cigarette, he heard his wife causing a scene behind him. He was both angry and anxious.

The Ruan Family was now someone they couldn’t afford to offend!

After picking up the cigarette from the ground and trembling, he turned around to pull Liu Mei, but she twisted out from under his arm.

She continued shouting with her head thrown back: "Ruan Jianguo, over two years ago you said that if you got rich, you would build roads for the village, aren’t you going back on your word now! You’ve spent all the money on buying cars, talking about winning a big prize, it’s all nonsense, you liar!"

Hearing these words, the other villagers couldn’t bear it.

"Liu Mei, you can’t just say things like that. Brother Ruan has been really generous."

"That’s right, with just a word from you about building roads. Why don’t you build them yourself? Do you think money just falls from the sky?"

"Exactly, the Ruan Family doesn’t owe you anything. With your constant nagging, acting as if they owed you big time, how shameless is that?"

"Liu Mei, you can’t be so ungrateful. Over the years, how many dried vegetables has the Ruan Family bought from you? Even a dog wouldn’t want to eat those vegetables from your home. If it weren’t for the Ruan Family buying them, who else would?"

"..."

Everyone was talking at once. After all, no one’s heart is made of stone; it should have warmed up after being covered for two years.

The Ruan Family has helped them a lot over the years, especially in the past two, where the Ruan Family’s restaurant business has been growing, holding banquets frequently. Demand for food ingredients has been increasing.

And what rural areas lack in many things, they make up for in vegetables and dried goods. As long as the quality was good enough, the Ruan Family’s restaurant has always prioritized buying vegetables and dried goods from the village first. Only when insufficient would they source from the outside.

As long as they were diligent, they could earn at least ten to twenty yuan a month. With an average monthly wage of sixty to seventy yuan, this additional income helped many people improve their lives.
