"Why are you thinking about all this? It's not easy to be a housewife. We are so much better off like this now. We don't have to worry about anything, and we don't lack food and clothing."
The third wife: "..."
How could she marry a man without ambition?
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'm going to go talk to my sister-in-law."
The third wife stood up and left.
She took a few steps, thought for a moment, then turned and went into the kitchen.
A moment later, she came out with a servant who was holding a tray with three dishes on it.
She was the aunt from the next room, so she couldn't stop Ouyang Yu and Yang Xi from being together, but she could instigate her elder sister-in-law to stop them.
Ye Lin has always had a high opinion of herself, and she thinks that Ouyang Yu is the successor and always feels superior to others. She doesn't like Yang Xi in the first place, and as long as she instigates her in front of Ye Lin, Ye Lin will definitely stop Ouyang Yu and Yang Xi as before.
According to the Third Wife's observation of the Yang family, the Yang family is not a family that would sell their daughter to climb up the social ladder.
As long as Ye Lin is dissatisfied with Yang Xi in various ways, the Yang family will not let their daughter suffer any grievances, and Yang Xi has a bad temper, so he might never enter the Ouyang family again in his life.
Yang Xi never expected that the Third Wife, who was very kind to her when they first met, would have such plans.
In Qingqing's words, the Ouyang family and the Jun family are not of the same type, and she has to face a lot when she is with Ouyang Yu.
Ordinary people would quarrel and become enemies over a little bit of profit.
Not to mention that wealthy families have more interests involved. There is a high probability that there is only one family like the Jun family among ten thousand.
The third wife saw Ye Lin in the courtyard of the main house in the center.
Ye Lin was alone and seemed to be sulking.
"Sister-in-law."
The Third Madam called out with a smile as she walked towards Ye Lin.
Ye Lin was feeling depressed when she heard someone calling out. She looked over and saw that it was her sister-in-law. She frowned, but still stopped and asked calmly, "Liu Qun, what are you doing here?"
"I heard Xiaoxi is coming back for dinner. Last time we had dinner together, I noticed that Xiaoxi really likes these dishes. I happened to have cooked these dishes tonight, so I sent them over to treat Xiaoxi."
Liu Qun affectionately called Yang Xi "Xiao Xi", which sounded extremely irritating to Ye Lin's ears.
Seeing that the servant Liu Qun brought was actually carrying a few dishes, Ye Lin's expression became even uglier. She said coldly, "Liu Qun, watch your words. Yang Xi is not my daughter-in-law now. She is coming here to eat, not coming back to eat."
"Also, my family has plenty of dishes to serve her. What's the point of you coming to her house like this to deliver food?"
Liu Qun ignored Ye Lin's cold face and explained in a good-tempered manner: "Sister-in-law, I don't have any other intentions. I just get along well with Xiaoxi. I like Xiaoxi's child very much. Although she is not your daughter-in-law anymore, isn't A Yu pursuing her again? Sooner or later, she will become my nephew's wife."
"My nephew's wife is here for dinner, and as her aunt, I'm here to add a few dishes for her. This is my love for the younger generation, and I don't mean to mock your eldest wife."
Liu Qun signaled the servants to bring in some dishes.
She walked up to Ye Lin, looking kind, and tried to persuade her, "Sister-in-law, Ayu was heartbroken by Zhao Shu, and he finally found someone who could comfort his wounded heart. I think Xiaoxi is pretty good too. Our father personally picked her for Ayu, so how bad can she be? Please stop making things difficult for the young couple."
"Look, Yu is already quite old. The Chinese New Year is only a few months away. After the New Year, Yu will be 30 years old. Others become fathers at 30, so you must want to have grandchildren, right? Let Yu and Xiaoxi get married sooner so that you can enjoy the days of having grandchildren."
"Even though Xiaoxi's family is poor, it doesn't matter. We can just help them out. What does it matter if Xiaoxi comes from an ordinary family? The one Dad likes has his own strengths. You were so optimistic about Zhao Shu back then, but what happened?"
Liu Qun was apparently trying to persuade Ye Lin to accept Yang Xi, but in fact he was reminding Ye Lin that Yang Xi was chosen by the old man, that he came from an ordinary background and his family was poor, and that if she married Yang Xi she would have to help the Yang family.
Ouyang Yu grew up with the old man. As his mother, Ye Lin was dissatisfied with the old man, but she didn't dare to say anything because of the old man's majesty.
As a mother, Ye Lin does not need to interfere in Ouyang Yu's affairs. Now even such a big thing as getting married is not something Ye Lin can interfere with. If the old man chooses a daughter of a rich family who is a good match for Ouyang Yu, Ye Lin can still accept it.
But the old man chose Yang Xi. The reality gap was too big and Ye Lin could not accept it no matter what.
Having been threatened by her son and having inquired about the shareholding of Yang Xi in the store, Ye Lin wanted to turn a blind eye and no longer interfere in her son's marriage.
Now that Liu Qun had persuaded her like this, her dissatisfaction turned into anger, burning upwards.
She can't let Yu'er marry Yang Xi!
Otherwise, she will be laughed to death when she goes out.
Not to mention others, even Liu Qun, the sister-in-law, laughed so hard that her stomach hurt!
In this family, Ye Lin considers herself nobler than her two sisters-in-law because her son is deeply loved by the old man.
She and Liu Qun have fought openly and secretly countless times, but she cannot lose to Liu Qun in the matter of marrying a daughter-in-law.
So what if the old man likes Yang Xi?
The old man is already old, how many years can he live?
After the old man died, she was Yu'er's biological mother, and it would be easy for her to control Yang Xi and drive him away.
Of course, it would be best if she could stop Yang Xi from entering.
"Mom, Third Aunt."
Ouyang Yu just happened to pull Yang Xi in.
Seeing his mother and Third Aunt chatting in the yard, Ouyang Yu frowned, but still walked over to say hello.
My mother and my third aunt have always had a bad relationship. Whenever they are together, it must be my third aunt who is trying to sow discord between them.
"Auntie Ye, Auntie Liu."
Even though Yang Xi had had several conflicts with Ye Lin, he still greeted her politely.
Ye Lin held her head high, not even looking at her, nor responding to her greeting.
Liu Qun walked up to Yang Xi affectionately, took her hand, and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi, long time no see. Why are you always away from home? Auntie San doesn't even have the chance to talk to you. Stop calling me auntie and call me Auntie San like before."
Yang Xi also smiled: "Aunt Liu, Ouyang and I are just friends now, not husband and wife, so it's not appropriate to call you Third Aunt anymore. I'm usually busy and rarely have time to come over. If Aunt Liu really wants to talk to me, she can come to my shop to find me."
Liu Qun choked.
Her words were very nice, but Yang Xi secretly undermined her.
If you really want to talk to Yang Xi, why don’t you just go to Suiyuan Coffee Shop?
It's not like she doesn't know where Yang Xi's coffee shop is.
Liu Qun quickly smiled and said, "Aunt San was afraid of disturbing your business, so she was embarrassed to come to you."
