"Oh my God, I didn't even hear you, second brother's wife. Please let your aunt see fifth brother's wife. Is she doing well in the capital this year?" Zhang was really happy to see her. Her Zhizhou could have such good skills now and was respected as the shopkeeper by everyone outside, all thanks to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao smiled and called out, "Aunt."
Zhang said happily, "When you and Fifth Brother got married in the capital, your uncle and I wanted to go too, but we had to leave our family and there were a lot of things going on in the village, so we didn't go. Don't mind it."
"How can that be possible?" Yu Jiao said, "After all, uncle is the head of the village, and he has to take care of a lot of things inside and outside the village. Besides, the capital is far away. I know what you mean."
Zhang was about to hold Yu Jiao's hand and exchange a few more pleasantries when a little girl with twin buns came running over. She looked at Yu Jiao, who was surrounded by Song and Zhang, and said, "Grandma, Second Grandma, the old master heard that there was a lot of noise in the front yard, so he asked me to come over and ask what was going on."
Song said, "It's the fifth brother's daughter-in-law who has returned. I was just about to take her over to meet the old man."
When the little girl heard this, her eyes spun around as she looked at Yu Jiao, and she said hurriedly, "The old master and the old lady will be happy to know that the fifth young lady is back. I'll go tell the old master right away."
Seeing the little girl running to the main courtyard again, Zhang curled her lips and whispered to Yu Jiao, "Your grandfather insisted on buying a maid. In addition to Ping'er, there is also a boy named Lai Fu. Now our old man is acting very pretentiously."
She was different from Mrs. Song. She said, "You are making a fuss when you come back. The old man wants to go to the capital to be a master all day long. I think he has set his heart on that since he came back from the capital."
Yu Jiao smiled and said nothing. Yu Ruhai just thought about him. Just based on the incident when she left the Yu family, it was impossible for him to stay in the capital.
Song whispered, "No matter what your grandfather says, just don't agree to him and push the blame onto Fifth Brother."
Yu Jiao nodded and said to Bai Lu, "Take Fei Ge'er back to my mother's west wing first."
The three of them went to the main courtyard and saw that a rockery and a pond had been placed in the small courtyard in a similar way. Yu Jiao laughed secretly in her heart, thinking that this old man really copied everything he had seen in the capital.
In the main room, Yu Ruhai received a message from the maid Ping'er, so he quickly changed into a new silk robe, called Yu Zhoushi to sit upright in the main hall, and waited for Yu Jiao to come over.
After entering the main hall, Yu Jiao glanced at the furnishings in the room. The furnishings were also imitated from those in wealthy mansions, with porcelain and ornaments placed on the shelves, but they were all worthless things.
Seeing Yu Jiao come in and look around but not actively greeting, Yu Ruhai deliberately cleared his throat and said in a pretentious tone: "Fifth brother's daughter-in-law, you have been in the capital for a year, haven't you learned the rules of etiquette?"
Yu Jiao gave him a cold look.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became awkward, and Yu Zhoushi tried to smooth things over, "I think you must have been tired from the long journey. Fifth brother's daughter-in-law, why did you come back from the capital? You didn't write to inform me in advance, but what's the important matter?"
Song said, "Liu Sanniang is gone. Jiao came back to take care of her funeral. It was not easy for her to find time to come back and see you two."
Yu Ruhai snorted coldly, "She's not your biological mother. Her funeral is not worth such a long journey. I don't see you use this care for your family!"
Song explained, "Liu Sanniang only has a boy under ten years old left at home, how can she handle the funeral? Jiao is kind-hearted, so she came back to help."
