“Exactly like her!” The villager carefully looked at Rachel Barton and then asked, “When can we drink to your daughter’s happy occasion?”
Upon hearing this, Beatrice Black’s eyebrows furrowed, fearing that Rachel had discovered something. She laughed and said, “Soon, soon.”
After the person left, Rachel asked, “Mom, what did that auntie just say? What happy occasion?”
These words sounded inexplicable to Rachel.
What happy occasion could she have?
Beatrice laughed and said, “When I arrived, they all knew you were about to take the College Entrance Examination. They are all waiting for you to get into a good university so your father and I can invite them to your College Admission Celebration Banquet!”
“So that’s it!” Rachel laughed and said, “Thank you, Mom and Dad.”
Her parents’ lives were not exactly wealthy, but they wholeheartedly wanted to hold a College Admission Celebration Banquet for her.
“Silly child, don’t mention it!” Beatrice continued, “As your parents, it’s our duty to do everything for you.”
Rachel held Beatrice’s hand.
As the three of them left, the villager who had just spoken to Beatrice shook his head speechlessly, “Unscrupulous people, doing unscrupulous things! What a pity for such a pretty little girl.”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked over from the opposite side and curiously asked, “Old Zhao, what are you muttering about by yourself?”
“Third Sister-in-law is here.” Old Zhao greeted the woman and then looked in the direction where Beatrice and Gregory Diet had disappeared, “Luckwell is back, and he brought the daughter they abandoned! The little girl is so beautiful, but she was born into the wrong family!”
These days, who in the village didn’t know that Gregory Diet was looking for a husband’s family for his daughter.
And he even demanded a bride price of 500,000!
If it were in the past, no one would care about Gregory Diet, but now things were different.
Nowadays, there were more men than women, especially in the countryside. People used to abort pregnancies just to have a boy, which led to the imbalance of men and women. Nowadays, it’s even harder for men to find a wife than it is to reach the sky!
As soon as Gregory Diet announced this, a family was interested. As soon as Gregory Diet and Beatrice brought the girl back, the family agreed to pay the bride price and get married.
The son of this family had congenital cerebral palsy, and he was 35 years old still single!
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman looked curiously ahead, “Really? Why didn’t I see her?”
“You were a few steps late.”Old Zhao continued, “I think that poor girl doesn’t even know what’s going on.”
The middle-aged woman sighed, “What a sin!”
“Exactly! If it were my daughter, I would never do this!”
Thinking of Beatrice and Gregory Diet’s actions, Old Zhao shook his head.
Before long.
Beatrice and Gregory led Rachel to the front of a building.
The Swantz Family’s house was newly built, modeled after a popular small western-style house which was different from what Rachel had imagined.
Rachel had thought she would see an earthen house.
Who would have thought…
Seeing Rachel’s reaction, Beatrice immediately said, “We used to have only three earthen houses. Your father and I scrimped and saved, and borrowed a lot of money to build this house. We wanted you to come back and live in a new and big house!”
“The 50,000 we borrowed last time was for building this house.”
Hearing this, Rachel nodded, so this was the reason.
“By the way, where’s my younger brother?” Rachel seemed to remember something, “Mom, didn’t you say I have a younger brother?”
“He must be in the house!” At this point, Beatrice called out, “Ryan Diet.”
“Ryan Diet!”
Soon, Ryan Diet came down the stairs.
“Ryan, come here, this is your fifth sister.” Beatrice said with a smile.
Seeing Rachel, a huge burden was lifted from Ryan’s heart. Now his bride price was saved.
“Hurry up and cook, I’m hungry.”
After saying this, Ryan went upstairs.
Looking at Ryan, Rachel frowned slightly.
This was different from the reunion scene she had imagined.
At the same time, her first impression of this younger brother was not good at all.
First of all, he was very rude.
Secondly, Ryan Diet was very inconsiderate.
If he was a polite and sensible child, he wouldn’t avoid calling her sister or expect his mother to cook for him when his parents were out.
Under normal circumstances, he should have already prepared the meal and waited for his parents to come back.
Noticing the change in Rachel’s expression, Beatrice laughed and said, “Don’t blame your brother. He’s been in a bad mood lately due to money problems. He’s actually very happy to have you back as his sister, but boys just aren’t good at expressing themselves.”
