Chapter 511: That House, Sinister

The man referred to as the son-in-law of the old Zhang Family, heard from Old Wu the shopkeeper calling him Yang Shijie, was once a scholar himself, his family so poor that there were times when they could not even muster a meal.

Later, he married a wife, whose family was in a much better financial situation than his. His father-in-law couldn't stand this poor young man, sparing no opportunity to overtly and covertly show his disdain.

Fortunately, later on, he left his hometown to do business in distant lands, and having made his fortune over the years, he was fulfilling a request from his wife to visit her parents and inquire about their well-being.

It was evident that Yang Shijie, who used to have a bitter look on his face, now had a hearty laugh and a wide smile with wealth at his side, showing no trace of bitterness. When he laughed, he exuded the air of wealth.

Lacking the deflated demeanor of a poor man meeting others, he chatted naturally with Old Wu the shopkeeper.
