Chapter 168 Old Lady Sun
Niuniu didn't notice the undercurrent between the adults. She held her brother's white and tender little hand and whispered, "Godfather and godmother will go find your grandma. Sister will stay with you."
Sun Jiaxing on the other end suddenly said, "Take Niuniu with you. Niuniu has been here for so long and has never had the chance to visit her grandmother. It's a rare opportunity today that my mother is still in good health, so we should go and pay her a visit."
Li frowned slightly, but didn't pour cold water on him.
Niuniu asked, "Aren't you taking Changshou with you?"
"My dear, Changshou is still too young to go out and see the wind casually." Li explained.
"Then how does Changshou meet grandma?" Niu Niu asked curiously.
"Your grandmother was in poor health, and I only saw her once, on her full moon day." Sun Jiaxing said.
Niuniu frowned slightly and said, "It's hard to develop feelings if we don't see each other often. My grandma and I are always together, so she loves me the most."
Li's eyes darkened.
Sun Jiaxing laughed and said, "Silly child, that is your long-lived grandmother. Blood is thicker than water. You don't need to work hard to develop a deep affection for her."
Niuniu nodded as if she understood, and then asked, "Should I change my clothes? My mother taught me that when meeting elders, I should dress respectably so that they will be happy."
"Oh, Niu Niu knows a lot, but when you meet your elders, you don't need to dress too well, casual clothes will be enough." Sun Jiaxing said with a smile.
The couple took Niu Niu to the old lady's yard. In Sun Jiaxing's eyes, his mother was the kindest woman possible. Except for doting on her youngest son, she had almost no shortcomings.
The man was so careless that he didn't notice at all that his wife didn't smile during the whole journey.
Sun Jiaxing continued to talk endlessly about how good his mother was.
"You'll know when you meet your grandmother. She is a grandmother who especially loves younger generations. The children of your second uncle and third uncle's families are all spoiled by her." Sun Jiaxing said.
The group entered the old lady's yard.
As soon as she stepped into the room, Niu Niu smelled an extremely strong smell of medicine. She wrinkled her nose slightly and felt a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything.
"Mom, I brought Niuniu to see you. You don't know how cute Niuniu is. When she eats, her mouth bulges..."
Sun Jiaxing praised Old Lady Sun to Niu Niu, and he kept praising Niu Niu to his mother. His words were so exaggerated that it seemed as if Niu Niu was the cutest girl in the world.
But in this room, Li is probably the only one who has the same thick filter as him.
Old Madam Sun interrupted Sun Jiaxing casually: "Since such a distinguished guest has come, we have to send him away."
When Sun Jiaxing heard this term, he frowned slightly.
At the old lady's signal, a servant brought over a tray with a pair of roughly made silver bracelets on it.
Niu Niu did not accept the gift. She vaguely realized that the wealthy and respectable old lady in front of her did not seem to like her.
"Too little?" Old Mrs. Sun asked.
Niu Niu pursed her lips and shook her head gently.
"I heard that your father is a scholar. In the countryside, your background is considered good, but this is Nanlin County, not a small place like your village. You have to follow the rules when doing things, and you have to dress decently when meeting your elders. Don't be too petty." said Old Mrs. Sun.
After Niu Niu entered the Gu family, she rarely heard such harsh words. Although she was young, she was not unable to understand the difference between true intentions and false intentions.
Sun Jiaxing was dumbfounded at this time. He couldn't understand how his mother, who was always kind and amiable, could say such bad words.
"Mother, Niu Niu is still a child, how can you say such things? Before going out, Niu Niu also said that she wanted to change clothes, but I stopped her! If you want to blame someone, blame me." Sun Jiaxing said.
Old Madam Sun's face darkened and she said, "What kind of magic potion did you get from a daughter from a country family? You are really crazy about your daughter. You don't want your own niece, but instead you want to give her to someone else."
Sun Jiaxing didn't want to argue with his mother in front of the child, and he was also afraid that his mother's words would leave a psychological shadow on the little girl. He whispered to his wife: "Take Niuniu home first and comfort the child."
Niuniu shook her head and said, "Uncle Sun, I'm not sad and don't need any comfort."
Sun Jiaxing paused when he heard this.
Niu Niu explained: "People also have to rely on fate. If the old lady doesn't like me, then I don't have to like her. I have a good grandmother, so I don't have to be sad because the elders don't like me."
The six-year-old girl actually had such an open-minded look on her face that Sun Jiaxing really didn't know what to say.
Such a sensible and well-behaved child, but Old Lady Sun just couldn't like him. She even sneered and said, "No rules."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but protect her daughter behind her.
But Niuniu stepped forward, raised her little head, and said, "Old lady, you don't like me."
"Who would like you, such an unruly child? Who allowed you to talk to your elders like that?" Old Mrs. Sun said angrily.
Niuniu was not affected by these words at all, and said confidently: "My parents, godfather and godmother, grandparents, Aunt Liu, my two brothers, and my brother Changshou, they all like me the most! No matter how much you say, old lady, you can't turn me into a disgusting child."
"I am a popular kid, and I know it!"
Old Mrs. Sun had never met a child like this before, whose self-confidence was so strong that it was dazzling.
She didn't know that Niu Niu's current character was the result of the Gu family spending a year spoiling her. She was in a daze and wondered if she was too sick that she couldn't even bully a little girl.
Although she couldn't convince Niu Niu, Old Mrs. Sun felt that she could still subdue her son.
"Boss, look at this, you treat this unruly child like a treasure! Let her piss off your mother!"
Sun Jiaxing did not do as she wished this time. Instead, he asked back with an ugly face: "Mom, Niuniu is still unruly? She doesn't make noises, and she has never broken your things. She is even more polite and courteous when she sees you. Is it because the people from my second and third brothers' families, who want to tear the roof off every time they come, are considered well-behaved?"
What Sun Jiaxing said made sense, but even if his grandchildren really smashed the house to pieces, they would still be cute in the eyes of old lady Sun.
"They are your own nephews and nieces, and you actually compare them with a wild country girl!" Old Mrs. Sun even turned around and blamed Sun Jiaxing.
Sun Jiaxing said: "This is my goddaughter. I treat her as my own daughter. She is not some wild girl!"
Old Lady Sun covered her chest and said, "Big Boss, you have grown too independent and don't listen to me anymore. I have really raised you in vain..."
