It's important to understand that in those days, the preference for sons over daughters was very strong, and it was not uncommon for daughters to be sold to pay for their sons' marriages. Although Tang Xiaoxiao strongly disagreed with this practice, Tang's grandmother still gave Tang Yuanxiu the autonomy to make her own choice. She simply suggested that Tang Yuanxiu find a family with better conditions and ask for more dowry money to leave for her younger brother. At the time, this was not considered an excessive request.

Even though Tang Yuanxiu didn't listen to her grandmother's advice later, her family didn't force her and let her get married on her own, right?

For this reason, Tang Yuanxiu hates the Tang family like enemies... It's really not worth it.

Tang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to comment.

With such an extreme personality, I don't know how she's managed all these years. Is she even able to handle interpersonal relationships well?

Tang's father was completely unaware of the inside story. Compared to his younger brother, he paid less attention to his younger sister. After all, there are differences between boys and girls, and Tang's grandmother was still alive, so his daughter's upbringing was handled by her, her biological mother. As the older brother, he didn't know how to educate his younger sister.

So later, Tang Yuanxiu gradually drifted apart from him, and after she got married, she stopped going back to her parents' home. He wasn't too disappointed, only occasionally sighing that women are outgoing and that once they get married, they belong to someone else's family.

As for Tang Yuanxiu not coming back to see her biological mother, Tang's father only thought she was unfilial. What other interpretation could there be?

Now, after hearing Tang Yuanxu's words, he realized it was because of such a trivial matter.

She felt that his marriage and children had drained the family's savings, and that his mother wanted to sell her to raise money for his younger brother's dowry, so she hated the whole family... She even deliberately sought out a poor family to take revenge on her own relatives.

This younger sister, is she not very bright?

Tang's father, Tang Xinxin, and Tang Xiaoxiao were all dumbfounded and speechless. The two sons-in-law, He Zhan and Han Yunqi, were even less able to comment on their father-in-law's gossip. For a moment, the room was silent.

Until Cui Hua nudged Tang Yuanxu's arm: "Stop drinking, or you won't be able to sit still. Today is Qianqian's big day."

These words reminded the drunken Tang Yuanxu. He shook his head, regained some clarity, and then looked at Tang Xiaoxiao and Han Yunqi, saying, "Second niece, nephew-in-law, I apologize to you today."

Tang Xiaoxiao didn't move, calmly watching him.

“I’m not a good uncle, nor do I act like an elder. I used to always upset my older brother… But Qianqian didn’t do anything wrong. She was spoiled and pampered by your second aunt and me since she was little. She’s a bit spoiled, but she’s not a bad person at heart…”

"You've all seen the family she married into. With my and your second aunt's status, we could never possibly be considered good enough for them. They only married Qianqian because of you. I'm not ashamed of myself; I know that perfectly well!"

Sitting next to him, Cui Hua listened to her husband's words and tightened her hands hidden under the table, but ultimately said nothing.

The couple had already made up their minds. For their daughter's happiness, they would be willing to kneel down and beg for help, wouldn't they? What they were doing now was just softening their stance towards a junior they had previously looked down on. It was nothing.

Nobody is stupid. Cui Hua had been ridiculed by Xu's mother at the company before, so how could she not know how this in-law relationship was formed today?

Although it was extremely humiliating, Cui Hua even discussed with her daughter that she shouldn't get married. Such a marriage was mixed with too many interests, and she was, after all, a mother, and couldn't bring herself to push her daughter into a fire pit.
