Chapter 463 Should I stay?
When Jian Ziyu found An Songyu and the other person, she saw them marveling at a huge lychee tree.
He glanced at their expressions and, finding nothing amiss, quietly stood behind them.
It wasn't until An Songyu turned around unintentionally that she saw the person.
She couldn't help but glare at Jian Ziyu with amusement: "How long have you been here? Why didn't you call us?"
"You guys are so focused, I didn't want to disturb you," Jian Ziyu replied with a smile.
So, under Chien Tzu-yu's guidance, the two of them really took a good look at this not-so-large village.
Meanwhile, at Grandma Jian's house, everyone inside and outside the family was waiting for the new bride to arrive.
Especially when they saw that Jane's mother and husband had arrived, they hadn't seen anyone yet.
Those words inevitably carried a hint of unpleasantness.
Jane's mother didn't always give in; she would occasionally speak up and explain.
But she was alone in front of countless mouths and didn't have much of an effect.
Some people even felt that she was too weak as a mother-in-law, which is why she was able to be manipulated by her daughter-in-law who had only been with the family for a few days.
These were the words that Brother Jian heard when he came in.
He glanced at his father, whose face looked particularly grim, and then at his uncles who sat calmly to the side.
There was also my grandmother, who looked equally unwell, and my mother, who seemed powerless to explain.
He suddenly said, "Then why don't we just let them get a divorce!"
Brother Jian's sudden remark startled everyone.
He completely ignored the reactions of others and looked directly at Grandma Jian and Mother Jian: "Perfect, my sister-in-law has money and a house, and she even had her marriage notarized."
"Even if we get a divorce, we won't lose anything!"
"Ah... haven't you guys heard of notarization?"
"It means that the couple has a prenuptial agreement before getting married!"
"What, you didn't expect that my sister-in-law comes from the richest village in Rongdi that was relocated due to demolition?"
“They’ve been running a company and a hotel for a year now, since their house was demolished.”
“Even the village's collective enterprises have been opened one after another.”
"I heard that in their entire village, regardless of age or gender, even if they do nothing all their lives, they can still make money while lying down."
"What are you saying? Their village is rich, her family is rich, so what if she's rich?"
"Now that you're married, don't you even have basic manners?"
"It's already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so it's understandable that we're only visiting Grandma now."
"Your parents have been here for quite some time, and she's still nowhere to be seen?"
"Where is this person? Let her come and see. I just want to know, so what if they are from the largest demolition village in Rongdi?"
"You can't even teach a child?"
"I told them to come slowly!" Brother Jian stared directly at his aunt, who was clearly furious, and seeing his grandmother's face also completely dark, he felt a chill in his heart.
"I don't want the same thing that happened when I brought my wife here to happen to my brother and sister-in-law."
“Ever since we got married, every time I bring my wife back, she’s completely bossed around by you guys.”
"To be honest, she has never suffered this kind of grievance in her own home, nor has she suffered this kind of grievance in my home."
"But I always think about how good my grandmother was to me, and how good my uncles were to me."
"So I turned a blind eye and pretended that it didn't happen."
"But my wife is almost ignoring me too."
"Grandma, do you really love us?"
"Then could you also love the person who will spend their life with us the same way you love us?"
"What are you saying, child?" Uncle Bi arrived some time later.
He patted Brother Jian's shoulder helplessly: "Your aunt just wants to get closer to your wife."
"They're like that when they get together."
When you're busy with your hands, you inevitably want to ask the people around you for help.
"If we had known this would upset you and your wife, we... would have been more polite to her!"
"This is really something, guests should be treated with respect!" Aunt Jian said, seemingly scolding him.
"How can you treat yourselves like you're dealing with your own juniors?"
"Is it okay to treat your own juniors like this?" Mrs. Jian suddenly looked up.
She had made many preparations and was thinking that she would definitely help out when her daughter-in-law arrived.
Unexpectedly, the boss told them not to come over yet.
Jane's mother actually knew that her eldest son was probably worried that the same thing would happen again, so he came over early to say hello.
But to his utter surprise, he overheard their increasingly offensive remarks.
This shocked Jane's mother, but also made her feel a little proud.
Unexpectedly, his underling, who was always adept at speaking in a way that was entirely in his own favor, actually set his sights on their family this time.
After being slightly taken aback by Jian's mother's question, Jian's younger uncle quickly came to his senses.
He looked at Mother Jane with a helpless expression: "Third Sister, what you're saying..."
As he spoke, he looked at his mother with a hint of grievance.
Sure enough, Grandma Jian, whose face was already particularly unpleasant, slammed her hand on the table next to her and gave a cold look at the three members of Jian's family:
"What, do you expect me to treat your whole family like royalty?"
"Don't you even think about it? Besides your family, who else is like your family, where the big and small are not only not under your control, but also cannot be managed?"
"They get so resentful over the smallest things!"
"We raised you when you were little, sent you to the city, and asked you to find a job for your younger brother, but you kept making excuses!"
"I asked you to help your nephew, but you said you couldn't help."
“Look at how they treat your two sons, they treat them even better than their own children.”
"Even if you're completely devoid of conscience, you shouldn't say such things..."
Brother Jian closed his eyes slightly, watching as his grandmother didn't give his mother a chance to speak, and poured out increasingly harsh words.
It suddenly gave Brother Jian a feeling... that perhaps while his family was dissatisfied, his grandmother and uncles were also becoming increasingly dissatisfied with his family!
But while they were enduring it, were Grandma and the others also enduring it?
Should I refrain from scolding them?
This thought left Brother Jian feeling powerless, but before he could say anything, Father Jian suddenly stood up.
He walked directly to his wife, looked at her seriously, and asked, "Do you want to stay here?"
Jane's mother was slightly stunned, unable to refute a single word she had been scolded.
She looked at the restraint in her husband's eyes and slightly opened her mouth.
"What, can't you even stand a few words?" Uncle Jian, who had arrived some time ago, looked at the family with a dark face.
"My own mother rarely comes to visit throughout the year, and now that she's finally showing up for the New Year, she hasn't even had a sip of water before she starts making a fuss!"
"You think you can just leave after you've made a scene?"
"It's such a waste of time to raise such a big child!"
Jane's father didn't even glance at the other person; he just looked intently at his wife.
But Jane's mother couldn't make a decision right away. She had a feeling that if she said she was leaving now, it would be better to just leave.
Perhaps she might want to come back in the future, but no one in her family will be willing to stay with her.
