Early on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Su He followed her parents and several younger siblings to her maternal grandmother's house.

My maternal grandmother's house used to be called Sunjia'ao, but it was later changed to Kaoshan Village. It was in the same town as them, but in a more remote location.

It's usually quite far to get to the town; it takes more than two hours to walk there.

Therefore, that place is poorer than Nanshan Village.

It took Su He and the others nearly two hours to arrive.

Her impressions of Kaoshan Village were all from the original owner's memories. The most vivid impression was that the original owner really disliked coming to her maternal grandmother's house because she would be ignored every time she came. Her grandmother would also often tell her in front of her that going to school was useless and that she should get married instead.

So she used to avoid coming unless absolutely necessary, and only came once a year.

But things changed after I came here this time...

My maternal grandparents' house is very small. Currently, only my uncle's family and my maternal grandmother live there. My maternal grandfather passed away a few years ago.

Oh, by the way, my maternal grandmother only had one son, who was the youngest, but she had five daughters.

Su's mother was the third child, ranking in the middle, so she was often overlooked. She was already very lucky to marry Su He's father, but after she got married, she didn't have much say in the family and couldn't go back to her parents' home to help her younger brother, so she wasn't very popular when she came back.

But to her surprise, when she returned this time, her grandmother actually smiled at her for the first time ever, took her hand, and said affectionately, "Third sister, all your older sisters are back, we've been waiting for you!"

Su's mother was flattered; it was the first time she had ever seen her mother smile at her.

Just as tears welled up in her eyes, she saw her grandmother quickly put her down, walk behind her, and take Su He's hand again.

"Oh my, my eldest granddaughter! Grandma knew you would amount to something, and sure enough, you are my favorite grandchild!"

Su He's lips twitched upon hearing this. She was truly impressed. When it comes to the ability to lie through one's teeth, you are the best!

"No, Grandma overestimates me. I'm not that amazing."

Su He denied it discreetly, then smiled calmly, withdrew her hand, and said nothing more.

Grandma didn't seem to care whether she spoke or not, and then she went on and on about it for a long time.

The gist of it was that she had her eye on Su He before, thinking she was capable and would definitely amount to something. Now that she had a job, she shouldn't forget to take care of her uncle's family, especially that mischievous cousin who always teases her and her sister whenever he sees her.

Oh, right, her grandmother also told her that her cousin from her aunt's side is very handsome and the same age as her, and that she should get to know him well, and it would be best if they could become relatives, so that the family members could be closer in the future.

Su He's face turned cold upon hearing this.

Who is her aunt?

That was my second maternal grandmother!

Because she was deeply brainwashed by her grandmother when she was young, she has only focused on helping her younger brother from her maternal family for so many years of marriage, making her own family extremely poor.

She also taught her children to always prioritize their uncle's family, and when they were young, they often helped their uncle's children bully them.

Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about my cousin. He never went to school, he can't even read many characters, and he's not good-looking either.

So how could her grandmother lie through her teeth and think they were a good match?

And in front of so many people, he said it to her, a junior!

Is this a case of a toad lusting after a swan? Or does it mean they think she's as easy to bully as Su's mother, and that they can be manipulated at will?

You wish!
