Xiao Yuanshi did not explain further. In many cases, too much is as bad as too little.
Then he hurriedly said that the family had prepared clothes and food, and asked his parents to go back and change clothes and eat first.
He was really afraid that if these people continued talking, he would be reported tomorrow, and he was even more afraid of being laughed at by others.
He was very self-conscious about his identity as a farmer's son, so he was actually reluctant to let others know some of his stories.
That was the past he was most reluctant to mention, and therefore he didn't want anyone from his hometown to show up.
Everything was under control before, why did these people in the old house become so bold?
Xiao Yuanshi heaved a sigh of relief only after he brought the people from the old house out from the crowd of onlookers.
His eyes narrowed even more. His mother was not right just now. In the past, she would have directly blamed him and thrown a tantrum at him. Why did she seem to have changed her personality?
This needs further exploration.
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, the people from Old Xiao's family looked around, their faces becoming increasingly unsightly.
The general's mansion was not only large, but also had a large number of slaves.
The clothes those servants wore were better than those they wore in the village.
Just as Shi Qingluo said, the woman just gave them some cloth and they actually treated it as a treasure.
Damn it, they were treated like fools.
The old lady was unhappy and it showed on her face.
In front of the servants and maids who were secretly looking at her, she looked at Xiao Yuanshi and said, "Your wife is really proud of herself. She didn't even come out to greet her parents-in-law. This general's wife is really impressive."
Not only was this sarcastic, but there was also a thorn in her heart.
Just like Shi Qingluo said, she was obviously the second son's mother, and if the family was not divided, she should be the one in charge.
The prestige of the women in the general's mansion should belong to her, but now it has been taken by a shameless little bitch. She feels unhappy and wronged.
Xiao Yuanshi still smiled and replied: "Chunru didn't know that parents were coming, so she didn't come out to greet them. I hope you can forgive me."
The emperor governs the country with filial piety. He cannot do anything disobedient or say anything unpleasant in front of his biological parents.
In particular, although these two were partial to him and often neglected him as the second child, they had never abused him.
It would be bad if someone investigated and caught them.
Old Madam Xiao sneered: "Do you think I'm stupid? There are so many servants and maids here, shouldn't you report early?"
"She's trying to intimidate us. She wants me, her mother-in-law, to have to act according to her mood in the future. Ugh!"
After entering the General's Mansion, her attitude towards Xiao Yuanshi became much stronger, and she no longer pretended to be an idiot like she did outside.
This was also what Shi Qingluo taught them, that they should not be angry with the second son in public, but should show their love for their son and be reasonable.
You have to show your strength as a parent to your family, otherwise you will definitely be controlled by these two unfilial beasts.
They are selling houses and land now, just like those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. It just depends on who is more ruthless.
Xiao Yuanshi: "..." Her mother has really become much smarter, or who taught her? He glanced at Wang and Wu, and stayed on Wu for a little longer.
This third sister-in-law is very scheming and good at stirring up trouble. It is very likely that she is the one.
But no matter what was said outside just now or what is being said now, it doesn’t seem like something these village women would think of.
He was completely confused.
He said, "Mom, you misunderstood Chunru. She is not that kind of person."
Old Madam Xiao snorted, "You are the unfilial son who forgot his mother after having a wife. You didn't even ask us how much we suffered on the road when we met, but you came here to find an excuse for your wife to refute me.
She looked aggrieved, "Second brother, you really hurt my heart."
That damn girl Shi Qingluo was right again. Ge Chunru wanted to intimidate them as soon as she arrived.
Fortunately, the dead girl taught her how to deal with it.
He cursed the new second daughter-in-law again in his heart. She was indeed a foxy woman who had bewitched the second son. This was not acceptable.
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” He was actually speechless.
Something is wrong. There is something very wrong with these people in the old house.
At this moment, Ge Chunru, dressed elegantly and gracefully, arrived late.
She just heard the maid come to report that people from her hometown had arrived. She secretly hated them so much that she greeted them with a gentle smile and asked, "Dad and Mom, why are you here?"
Old Mrs. Xiao was extremely unhappy when she saw the other person dressed luxuriously. The gold hairpins on her head and the bracelets on her hands looked very valuable.
The second brother, that beast, has never bought anything for his mother.
She glanced at Ge Chunru with a fake smile, "Why, is it impossible for us to come to the general's mansion?"
"I'm going to go out and ask everyone now, what should I do if my daughter-in-law doesn't welcome me when I come to visit my son?"
Ge Chunru was stunned, obviously not expecting the old lady to say that.
When she returned to the village before, these people always praised her. Why has it changed now?
She immediately said, "I didn't mean that. I was just a little curious about why my parents came to Beijing without telling me."
"If you had received the letter earlier, I could have asked my husband to send someone to pick you up."
If the old woman were allowed to go out and say these things, the image she had worked so hard to establish in Kyoto would be damaged, and that would not be acceptable.
In her heart, she looked down on these people and hated them extremely, but she couldn't show it, otherwise the old lady would go out and accuse her of being unfilial, which would be troublesome.
She didn't know that the old lady had already criticized her outside just now, otherwise she would have been very angry.
Old Lady Xiao sneered, "We dare not trouble you."
He continued to mock with full force, "With you whispering in my ear, how can my son dare to send someone to pick us up?"
Shi Qingluo was right. She came to the General's Mansion to compete with this little bitch for the power to be the head of the family, so they were destined to be hostile.
There is no need to give a good face, let alone flatter the other party. She is the mother-in-law, so she has a higher status and a natural advantage.
Therefore, they had to suppress the other party in front of the servants and maids of the general's mansion.
Moreover, she had suffered so much along the way, and now she was so angry that she had no place to vent it. It was a good opportunity to vent it today.
She was somewhat afraid of her son, but not of her daughter-in-law.
Ge Chunru was extremely surprised. How come the old lady seemed like a different person?
Her eyes turned red, and she stole a glance at Xiao Yuanshi before explaining softly, "No, I didn't."
Xiao Yuanshi also felt distressed. It was actually his idea not to accept these people.
Just as she was about to speak, the old lady suddenly sat on the ground and burst into tears.
"My life is so hard. I raised my son with so much hardship, and gave him everything without spending any effort on food or clothes. Now I am even despised by his wife."
"I might as well die. How could I raise such an unfilial son and have such a daughter-in-law who disrespects and despises her mother-in-law?"
"You two unfilial beasts, you live in the capital with luxurious food and luxurious drinks, wearing gold and silver and having a horde of servants, but you don't care about your parents and brothers in the countryside."
"Oh my God, please send a bolt of lightning to strike these two beasts."
They have already successfully entered the general's mansion, who would still act? Of course, they come as they please, and then act again when they get out, ahem! Xiao Yuanshi and Ge Chunru: "..." This is the correct way for Old Lady Xiao to open it.
But these words were too harsh to be heard, and made both of their faces turn black.
They actually called them beasts and asked them to be struck to death by lightning. Is this human language? But the other party was their elder and their own mother, so they did not dare to say disobedient words in public.
Otherwise, if the story was spread by one of the servants or maids, they would be accused of being unfilial.
The two of them really wanted to go crazy.
