Unlike that idiot Lao Sheng, who only knows how to tell her to be kind and generous.

He didn't even consider why she would suddenly get angry for no reason.

How can a person get angry if they haven't been bullied?

He didn't even bother to investigate properly before blaming her, which makes her angry.

Sheng Jingheng comforted her, "Don't be angry with your father. He'll be here in a couple of days."

Mrs. Sheng said irritably, "Doesn't he already have a concubine? What's he doing here again?"

Sheng Jingheng smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense. There's no such thing as a concubine."

"That woman was married off by her father to Xiao Wang from the next courtyard a long time ago."

Mrs. Sheng was taken aback. "Xiao Wang? The one who guards the gate in the compound?"

"Yes, that's him."

Although that girl was a distant relative of Old Madam Sheng's family, her status and position were incomparable to those of the young ladies from Kyoto.

To put it bluntly, she was just a country girl, and marrying the gatekeeper of the compound was considered a step up for her.

Don't underestimate him just because he's a gatekeeper in a compound; that's a job many people dream of.

The monthly salary is quite good, and the benefits are also good.

Moreover, the work is relatively easy.

It's a blessing that Old Madam Sheng's niece was able to marry him.

"Your grandma doesn't have any objections?"

The old lady had finally found a concubine for her son; would she really agree to let her marry her off?

Sheng Jingheng shook his head, "Of course they disagreed, they cried and made a scene."

"But my father stopped me as soon as he got angry."

Mr. Sheng then said, "I have plenty of people who can find fault with me in this position. If you want your son to die, go ahead and cause trouble."

Grandma Sheng immediately shut up.

She just wanted to leave an heir for her son.

In addition, he couldn't stand his daughter-in-law's arrogant attitude, so he naturally wanted to make her unhappy.

So when Huang Nianyan gave her an idea, she agreed.

To her surprise, her son got angry and said he would send her back to her hometown.

Ever since her son was promoted to a high-ranking official, she has always returned to her hometown with an imposing and majestic air.

If her son sends her back, where will she put her face?

She stopped making a fuss and went back to her room to cry.

Mrs. Sheng smiled after hearing this.

"Should."

That old hag, she's the most troublesome one in the family.

I remember when we first got married, she was a rich young lady, while Mr. Sheng was just a crew-cut guy.

Their family background is not as good as hers.

However, the old lady believed that her son was the most capable, and that it was her good fortune to marry him. She did not acknowledge that her family was wealthy at all.

No matter how much she sacrificed for the family, the old lady took it all for granted.

Mrs. Sheng and her mother-in-law have different values ​​and can't get along, so naturally she's not close to her mother-in-law.

It was precisely because she refused to fawn over the old lady that the old lady looked down on her even more.

But she doesn't care about those things right now.

As long as she could find her daughter and see Sheng Jingheng, she didn't want to care about anything else in the capital.

Sheng Jingheng held her hand tenderly, "Mom, after Father arrives, don't argue with him. Talk to him properly."

He hopes that the elderly couple will both be well.

Let's not let misunderstandings lead us further apart.

Mrs. Sheng sighed, "I understand, I won't argue with him."

But he certainly won't be given a friendly look.

Sheng Yueqing and He Yushen exchanged a smile.

I think Mrs. Sheng has quite a personality.

Mrs. Sheng smiled when she saw them smiling.

"Ah Shen is back? It's been so long."

He Yushen walked over and sat down next to her, taking out a gift he had brought her from abroad.

"I brought some snacks and small accessories from abroad. I wonder if you would like them?"

When he returned, he saw that Professor Qin had brought gifts home, and he immediately wanted to buy some too.

He bought Sheng Yueqing a lot of fabric for clothes; the styles were novel and beautiful.

They also brought some hair accessories for Mrs. Sheng, including hair clips and a brooch.

Even Qi Xinxin has it.

Then she took out a can of coffee from her bag and gave it to Sheng Jingheng, saying, "I brought this for you. Professor Qin said it's very good, so I bought you a can."

He knew that Sheng Jingheng could help look after his wife in Shanghai, and he was grateful to him.

So bring him a gift too.

Shengjing Heng was somewhat moved.

This is the first time a man has brought him a gift.

In the past, it was always women who gave him gifts, though his colleagues had given him gifts during the Lunar New Year as well.

But I never bought it for him on purpose.

Since He Yushen had come back from abroad specifically to bring him a gift, he figured it must be genuine, so he hummed in agreement and accepted it.

Thanks.

He Yu received a thank you from him, which made him feel a little awkward, but he was in a good mood.

This was also the first time he had given a gift to someone other than his wife.

Surprisingly, they all liked it quite a bit.

Mrs. Sheng liked it very much and simply clipped the hair clip into her hair.

He even asked Sheng Yueqing, "Does it look good?"

Sheng Yueqing smiled and said, "Of course you look good. Your beauty is in no way inferior to the passage of time."

Although she is getting older, her facial features still show that she was a beauty in her youth.

Mrs. Sheng was pleased with the flattery.

"Shall we have dinner here tonight? Shall Ah Heng order a couple of dishes?"

Sheng Yueqing nodded, "Okay."

She also wanted to talk to Sheng Jingheng about borrowing money.

He Yushen stayed inside chatting with Mrs. Sheng, while Sheng Yueqing went to find Sheng Jingheng.

"Mr. Sheng, may I talk to you about something?"

Sheng Jingheng was taken aback. "Oh?"

"Okay, come with me."

He led Sheng Yueqing to the study and said, "Sit down."

Sheng Yueqing sat down and took a deep breath.

"Actually, I came here today to borrow some money from you."
