Return To The Past: I Won’t Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 299: Had Another Devious IdeaOne morning, another commotion broke out in a quiet mountain village.

This was the home of Jing Yu’s uncle, Wang Long.

After the family had caused a commotion last time, it had been quiet for a while. Then, he heard that the Jing Family Pharmacy had hired a lot of employees, some of whom were even thugs. Therefore, the matter of Wang Wu wanting to bully Jing Ning was put on hold.

After all, he was a timid person and had to protect his own life first.

However, people were greedy, and a villain like Wang Wu was no exception. Although they had been staying in the village, they would occasionally visit the county town. Their family had heard about the new things that happened in the county town clearly.

Jing Yu’s family’s business was really getting bigger and bigger. It was not a big deal to open a ready-made clothing store in the county town, but they had also opened a restaurant that had both medicine and food near the hospital.

Each of the three shops was doing very well. Perhaps each shop was making a lot of money every day.

This made outsiders very envious, let alone people who were relatives with him!

Wang Long’s family almost drooled.

“This kid is really heartless. Even if he resents us for what we did to him in the past, how many years have passed and how much anger does he have? Can’t he be let go?”

Wang Long began to ridicule his nephew.

“Isn’t that so? Now this kid runs three stores in the county town. Just taking out some dividends to give to our family would be enough for the three of us to live a good life. However, it’s as if he forgot the existence of our family. What a heartless person.”

When Wang Long’s wife was criticizing Jing Yu, she seemed to have forgotten that she was unwilling to help their family.

“But I’m afraid we can’t carry out the plan we agreed on previously. Look, their family’s business is getting bigger and bigger, and their family has hired guards to protect their money. Our Wang Wu has long been blacklisted on their list, so he definitely can’t get close to that little girl.”

Wang Long said helplessly. If they could not make things right, how would their family be able to re-establish a relationship with the Jing family?

“Since we can’t use force, then we can openly propose marriage. After all, we are cousins who are separated by several layers of relationship. The law also allows these two children to get married openly.”

“Your words are easy to say. Don’t you see what conditions our family has now? What conditions does their family have now? Could it be that they are willing to marry their daughter to a poor family like ours and not to find a family that can have business cooperation with them?”

Although Wang Long had always wanted to take advantage of them, his heart was still very accurate in positioning himself.

After Wang Long said this, the whole family fell silent. Wang Wu rolled his eyes and suddenly said, “We can pretend to create trouble first and say that we were engaged before.”

“Then we can go there to propose marriage. If they don’t agree to our proposal, we can use the excuse that they forget about righteousness to spread rumors and defame their family. I don’t believe that my cousin wouldn’t agree to this marriage based on her personality. She’s the most prideful person.”

Wang Wu’s lips curled up into a sinister smile. The image of the little girl’s soft figure from the last time he saw Jing Ning appeared in his mind.

“That’s right, let’s do it this way. I also think that my cousin isn’t the kind of person who doesn’t do anything when others are talking about her.”

Wang Long also agreed with his son’s idea.

“After all, it’s a marriage proposal. We can’t go there empty-handed. I’ll go to the village store to buy some things now. It’ll look better when I take it to their house. This way, in case they don’t agree, our proposed marriage can also make the audience’s feelings more biased toward us.”

After saying this, Wang Long’s wife got up and went to the village store to buy some fruits.
