Chapter 81: Purpose (1/2)
The two came over this time with a scheme in mind. As they were living in the neighboring village, when they heard from the villagers that his cousin had come back, they thought that he must be back because he could not afford the medical fees. So, they thought that they could take advantage of him to achieve their goals.
However, they did not expect that when they came, there would be a million dollar BMW SUV parked outside their house. This caused them to be surprised. What was more surprising was that when they went in the house, they saw their cousin was actually perfectly fine!
When they looked at those people at the dining table, they realized that the car owner was most likely that young kid sitting among them. As the woman was afraid of this young kid helping Yao Na to return the money they owed them, she wished to chase this young master off.
When the woman saw Cheng Yu was sitting there expressionlessly without speaking a word, but the Yao Family’s complexion turned very ugly, she became very haughty as she said, ”Nana, don’t blame your aunt for being a busy body, but nowadays, rich young masters are very playful, and they always like you because they see you as a kind of tender and delicate tofu. But the moment they have tasted you, you will see that they no longer contact you, and they would even publicize that they have played with you. By then, how are you going to be able to show your face in society?”
“Thank you, Auntie, for the warning, but I know how to handle my own matters. There’s no need for you to worry,” Yao Na clenched her fist and said gloomily.
“Since it’s like that, then return our money! The total is $60,000!” The woman said.
“$60,000? Isn’t it supposed to be $50,000?” Yao Na and her mother asked astonished. After that, they turned and looked at Father Yao. Father Yao looked very embarrassed as he had no idea how to answer them.
“That’s right! Although you did borrow $50,000 at that time, cousin agreed that the amount he will be returning us is $60,000. Are you going to renege on the debt now? Besides, I still have the IOU for the loan,” The woman took out a piece of paper from her handbag and waved it in front of the Yao family trio.
“Cheng Yu can you lend me $60,000 first? I will return it to you in the future,” Yao Na looked at Cheng Yu and pleaded.

“I don’t have any money,” Cheng Yu said tranquilly.
The Yao family trio was stunned. They had no idea why the usually magnanimous Cheng Yu would say such words at this moment. This caused them to be caught unprepared and rendered speechless.
“Haha! How was it? Didn’t I tell you? This young master only wanted to taste this tender tofu. During crucial moments, they won’t be of any use. In the end, you still have to be grateful to me. How would you be able to see his character so easily?” The woman laughed at the side. This was the outcome she had been waiting for as she quickly gave her husband a meaningful glance.
“Cousin, since you don’t have the money to return, we shall not make things difficult for you. We do not want this sum of money anymore,” When he saw his wife’s meaningful glance, the man quickly took over.
“Really?” Father Yao asked unconvinced. It was $60,000! It was impossible for them to not have it returned. Besides, their family’s relation were never very friendly.
“Of course! We have thought about it. Since your living conditions aren’t that optimistic, and we are currently doing quite well, we are relatives. No matter what, we should help you guys out. So we decided that you do not need to return this sum of money, but we have a condition,” The woman said with the impression of thoughtfulness.
“What condition?” Father Yao asked curiously. He knew that there was nothing precious with his family. He was curious what he had that made them willing to give up on $60,000.
“Isn’t cousin the village chief of the Yao Family Village? It is truly a pity to use the Yao Family Village’s 500 mu of land to grow rice. But if cousin is willing to give me this 500 mu of land, I can give you $300 per mu every year. Isn’t this better than you growing rice?” The man laughed.
Cheng Yu giggled. He knew that the opposite party definitely had an aim since they had chosen to rush over here and asked them to pay their debt when they knew the Yao Family was in trouble. If it was not to make things difficult, it would be because of a scheme they had in mind. Father Yao’s cousin was from a family who grew medical herbs. A few years back, he became acquainted with a medical herbs merchant as he bought all the neighboring farmland in order to grow a large amount of medical herbs. In those villages, there were lots of people who were working outside of the village. These families all had land around their villages, but they didn’t use the land. So they decided to rent the land, which generated income from land that was just sitting there. Each family earned around $2000 a year.
However, it was different for the Yao Family Village. Very few people went to work outside of the village, so the majority decided to farm on the land that they had. Compared to generating an income of around $2000 a year passively, they preferred to grow thousands of kilograms of rice.
More importantly, Yao Family Village is not like its neighboring villages. As the Yao Family Village was near the mountain, it didn’t have the wide spaces those neighboring villages had and their land was not flat like theirs. That time, when someone offered to buy their land, everyone said the price was too low and they were not willing to sell. But when they wished to reconstruct their village, even though they had offered a sky high price for those contractors, they were not willing to take the job. That was also the reason why the Yao Family Village was the only village that was not under re-construction.
