"Huh?" Old Lady Shi exploded, "I just like talented people, so what? I like those who can play instrunts, write songs, and sing. If my grandson likes it, then it’s settled! Even if her face was really ruined, I believe she wasn’t ugly before. Genetics and post-accident disfigurent are not the sa!"
Elder Mrs. Chen felt greatly wronged and quickly conceded, waving her hands, "Alright, alright, my bad, okay!"
"Oh my, Qian Jiao, she’s also considering your family’s interest. I also think it’s better to choose a daughter-in-law who looks good. Although talent is also important, it can’t be with a downright ugly face. Imagine if the child sees his mother’s face and gets frightened, how terrible that would be. Besides, think about their child, once he starts school, learns to walk, and attends a parent-teacher conference, those little kids won’t know her background like your family does, they won’t understand her talent. Kids can be cruel, they’ll only say, ’Oh, whose mom is so ugly, yet whose dad is so handso? It’s like a flower stuck in dog poop.’"
Old Mrs. Yang spoke earnestly, her serious expression even made Old Lady Shi start questioning life.
Beside her, Old Mrs. Li chid in, "Exactly, what Old Yang Family’s said isn’t wrong. Those kids don’t understand anything; they only know that your golden grandson’s mom is ugly, so better choose soone good-looking."
Elder Mrs. Chen nodded vigorously beside them, deeply agreeing.
The old ladies saw her waver and quickly added fuel to the fire, "You have to think about your family’s future genes!"
"Yes, Qian Jiao, no matter how you look for a new daughter-in-law, you shouldn’t settle like this. Although this Senior Sister has outstanding talent and her personality seems alright, just her face alone is enough. I guess your boy likes her because her disfigurent just happened to align with his ex-girlfriend’s character and talents, that actress..."
"Tang Wu." Elder Mrs. Chen reminded.
"Oh right, Tang Wu!" Old Mrs. Yang finally rembered, "If this Senior Sister was like Tang Wu, talented and beautiful, it would have been fine. But just having Tang Wu’s talents without the looks, how could that be..."
"I think, Ling Yan’s forr wife was not bad. She was so fair and tender, looked obedient and cute. Later on, didn’t she get back to normal? Why did they divorce, what a pity." Elder Mrs. Chen’s face showed regret.
At this, Old Lady Shi got angry, grunting, "Don’t ntion that woman. At that ti, to save her, my grandson almost died, and he was unconscious for so long. When that woman woke up, my Ling Yan was still bedridden, yet she couldn’t wait to finalize all the divorce procedures. Unbelievable, she’s a real ingrate!"
The old ladies had heard about it before and had so understanding of the situation. Now hearing Old Lady Shi bring it up again, they couldn’t help but feel outraged. Old Mrs. Yang said, "Exactly, an ingrate! Back then your family took so much care of them. The Shi Family are like vampires! Each one of them is more draining than the last. How could you be in the wrong when she was so ungrateful!"
"But..." Elder Mrs. Chen spoke up, "I sohow feel that she was pushed away by you. Back then, I saw that girl visiting him every day. And just after the girl left, Ling Yan woke up!"
