Chapter 788: 529 Nonsense
Looking at Xiaofeng’s suddenly darkened expression, the old lady didn’t know what she had said wrong, but it was the truth after all. So people just don’t want to hear it, but she had to tell them anyway.
“Xiaofeng, you might not like what I’m saying, and I don’t an anything by it, I just wanted to tell you, from now on, we are relatives. Wenli will be your sister-in-law, and , I’m Wenli’s maternal grandmother, so in the future, our families should visit each other more often, don’t you think?”
“Grandma, you might have misunderstood . It’s not about whether I want to socialize with you or not, I have to see what my sister-in-law’s attitude is. If she’s willing to interact with you all, we naturally have no objections, right?”
As a relative on the groom’s side, of course one must respect the bride’s wishes. If so relatives are people whom the bride herself doesn’t want to acknowledge, it’s natural for the groom’s side not to overstep.
“I am Wenli’s maternal grandmother, and of course Wenli wants us. If she didn’t want us, why would she let us stay?” The old lady beca unhappy at Xiaofeng’s words.
She had thought the young girl in front of her was sensible, but now it seed she wasn’t that sensible, or at least, not knowing how to act.
If it were soone else, knowing that you’re an important relative on the bride’s side, they’d definitely be extrely enthusiastic, afraid of any lack in hospitality.
“Since my sister-in-law has allowed you to stay, you should stay and have a al. As for other things, I’ll listen to my sister-in-law, right?” Xiaofeng didn’t engage with them any further and got up to go to another table.
Watching Xiaofeng’s indifferent attitude toward them, the old lady puffed up with anger. That Wenli really knew how to pick soone, just look at the arrogance!
“Mom, since they’ve agreed to let us stay, let’s stay and have a good al. Why do you have to say all that unnecessary stuff?” The man was dissatisfied with the old lady’s words.
“Who am I doing this for, if not for you all? If Wenli becos successful in the future, she can’t forget us. You are Wenli’s uncle, and if there are any benefits, they shouldn’t go to others; they should go to our own family, right?” The old lady had given birth to five daughters before finally having a son.
In those years of famine, the family couldn’t support that many girls, so they sent two away. Now she had three daughters and a younger son at her side.
“Mom, I don’t care about that, I just hope that my second sister won’t bla us.”
“Even if she does, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s my biological daughter, and I’m her real mother.” The old lady snorted coldly, “It’s just like that year when she fell ill, and I didn’t take care of her. Looking at how she holds a grudge, she’s exactly like your father.”
Not even a month after Axiu had been sent away, she had co down with a serious illness. The family that had taken Axiu in, fearing she might not make it, brought her back, begging for a glimpse of the child or to let her stay for a few days, thinking the child might then get better. But she said, since the child had already been given away, she had no connection to this family anymore; whether she lived or died was of no concern to her. If she survived, it was Axiu’s fate; if she couldn’t make it, it was just her bad luck to be short-lived.
In the end, it seed the other family had taken Axiu to the county hospital, and she survived.
The old lady was dismissive about the incident, “She was so young back then; what I said wasn’t wrong. Axiu’s survival was her fate. If she hadn’t survived, it would have been her lot.”
“Mom, enough, say less.” The man was obviously not keen on listening to the old lady’s words.
It was because of that incident that her sister wanted nothing to do with their family.
The old lady snorted coldly, “And you think Wenli’s husband is really that good. Let tell you, I’ve looked into it. That man Wenli is marrying was a fool before. Only later did he suddenly recover, and with a sister who married into the Imperial Capital, their family’s circumstances improved. Wenli’s marriage to them is like their ancestors’ graves sending up green smoke.”
“To , this stingy groom’s family ans Wenli will probably have a tough ti after the wedding.”
If it weren’t for their wealth now, nobody would’ve looked twice at that forr idiot, Wenli least of all.
“Mom, please, say less.”
The man obviously noticed Wenli glancing their way.
The old lady snorted and said no more, just told the man to fetch so liquor, as she fancied a few drinks.
The old lady could hold her liquor well; aside from anything else, her hobby was enjoying a tipple. Having co here today, of course she intended to drink.
