Game Of Thrones : Merchant of Two Worlds

Look, even if Mr. Liu's son is rich and prosperous, he's still polite to us poor folks on blind dates—not like some people who, once they get rich, act like dogs with their eyes growing on their foreheads. They completely look down on the people in their own village.

Well, yes, one such representative is Jason Liu's uncle.

Ever since he earned money working as a foreman at a construction site a few years ago, the family immediately moved to the city and only returned to the village during holidays. They acted like billionaires, always walking with their tails up in the sky.

In fact, the villagers still don't know how much wealth the family actually has.

Anyway, Jason Liu's uncle's family, who claims to be urbanites and looks down on their village folks, is definitely one of the main targets of ridicule and gossip behind their backs in Village.

However, his uncle's family doesn't care about the ridicule of the villagers. They believe that since they've moved out of Village, they are no longer rural people. The hardship of growing food from the soil is now beneath them.

Jason Liu's grandparents, who lived in the southernmost part of the village and originally belonged to his uncle's household, actually heard from villagers that the son of the old master had made it big.

However, because they had lived with Jason Liu's family a few years ago, they were more partial to the younger son's family. The relationship with Liu's mother-in-law was very unpleasant, and the grandparents couldn't bring themselves to visit Jason Liu's house anymore.

After all, they are elders. Only the juniors should come to them—how could they visit the juniors?

Anyway, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and their sons and daughters are all coming, so there's no rush to visit anyone today.

What made Jason Liu's grandmother even angrier recently was that her two daughters and younger son told her that their elder brother, Victor's son, had made a fortune and given his father hundreds of thousands of yuan.

They wanted to borrow money from the elder brother, but he never agreed.

The money was stuck in the hands of sister-in-law Li Mom.

So, Jason Liu's two aunts and uncle repeatedly told the old lady about the eldest sister-in-law refusing to lend money and the eldest brother not caring for their sibling bond. They hoped the old man and lady would pressure Victor to lend them the money.

Grandma Liu, who had been partial to her younger son since he was a child, of course, grew furious when she heard her daughters and younger son say these things.

"When Victor arrives tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival, I'll say a few words to him. A man can't just listen to his wife—he should make decisions for the family!" Grandma Liu said sternly to Grandpa Liu.

Jason Liu's grandfather is 76 this year. Like his wife, he's still quite healthy. Since he got too old to farm, he's been financially supported by Liu's father, two aunts, and uncle—four families in total.

—Each family gives 400 RMB per month, totaling 1,600 RMB. If either of the elderly get sick, the four families split the medical bills equally.

In rural areas, if there's no illness or disaster, 1,600 RMB a month is enough for the two elderly to eat and drink well.

In addition, the old couple still grows a lot of vegetables in the yard of the uncle's house—it helps that the yard is big enough.

Therefore, Grandpa and Grandma Liu live quite comfortably.

Anyway, since Jason Liu's grandparents moved in with the uncle's family a few years ago, Liu's mother had taken a "see no evil" approach. She simply deposited 400 yuan into the old man's bank card on time every month.

Plus, in the countryside, the Li family and Wang family are full of gossips. Naturally, there were some rural old women with nothing better to do—nosy and ill-intentioned—who went to Liu Ma and told her everything.

These women, who love to gossip and stir up drama, described in detail how much the uncle's family benefited from the old couple, while pretending to feel wronged on Liu Ma's behalf and saying a few words to highlight the grandparents' blatant favoritism.

Even though Liu Ma knew these women only told her these things to stir up trouble and watch her explode at Jason Liu's grandparents for entertainment, she still couldn't suppress the anger in her heart.

Although she didn't want to quarrel with Jason Liu's grandparents—after all, the favoritism had lasted for decades, and she was used to the unfairness—hearing such things still made her feel uncomfortable.

Every time she mentioned it to Jason Liu, she was full of resentment, which made him smile bitterly, unsure of how to comfort her.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart: this is the most disgusting thing in the countryside—there are always people with bad intentions who don't wish you well but just want to stir up drama!

People raised in the city might not understand the annoyance and disgust caused by these long-tongued rural gossips. But those who grew up in the countryside know it deeply.

There's always one or two particularly annoying busybodies in every village!

Jason Liu used to resent his grandparents' favoritism, but now that he had a broader perspective, he didn't care as much anymore.

Why should he care about two elderly villagers?

Don't they say: "The emperor favors the eldest son, while common folks dote on the youngest"?

Jason Liu's uncle is 33 years old this year—15 years younger than his father. he's definitely the treasured "old son" of Grandpa and Grandma Liu!

It's no surprise they're so biased toward the youngest.
