Gu Xuelan looked at her with contempt and didn't even bother to talk to her.
"Widow Qi, huh? You're asking for trouble! Different people have different tastes, but you're neither a carrot nor a vegetable! As for how my sister-in-law is better than you, first of all..."
"Fatty, why are you talking so much nonsense to her?"
Before Cheng Yue could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang.
Jiang stood in front of her daughter and daughter-in-law, shielding them behind her like an old hen protecting her chicks.
"How are you inferior to my daughter-in-law? Let me tell you!"
"You're a widow, yet you let a stranger stay in your house for so long? You're shameless and have no self-respect. Don't you know there's always gossip around a widow? Unless you're looking for another one!"
"It's fine if you want to find another one. We in Da Qi allow second and third marriages, but you insist on finding someone who already has a wife. Isn't that shameless?"
"Look at what you look like! You're completely skinny, your face is sallow, and your hair is like dead grass. Then look at my daughter-in-law. Are you comparable? Everyone, tell me, are you comparable?"
"Look at the child you raised! Do you think I know about your widow Qi's child? He was a pickpocket in the city at a young age. Wasn't he locked up in a cell for a few days during the hot weather to be educated? Look at the child raised by my daughter-in-law. He is a scholar in both literature and martial arts. He is polite, sensible, and has an extraordinary appearance. Everyone likes him. He will become the top scholar in literature and martial arts in the future! How can they be compared?"
"Bah! Comparing our precious grandson to an undisciplined thief, what has blinded me?"
"Let's talk about your parents-in-law. Were you kicked out by your husband's family? That shows how much your parents-in-law dislike you. But my Xuelan is different. She's my daughter-in-law, whom I treat like my own daughter! She's treated just like my own daughter at home. We wouldn't kick her out even if we kicked our stinky son out!"
"Let's talk about making money to support yourself. Look at you, it's like the sky has fallen down since your man died. You don't know how to take good care of yourself, but you just keep thinking about finding a man to rely on. I tell you, my Xuelan won't do that. Even if the sky falls down and everyone in my Cheng family is useless, Xuelan will still be the one who can hold up our Cheng family."
"A good woman who is filial to her parents-in-law at home, friendly to her younger siblings, and attentive to her children, who can stand on her own feet outside, build a big business, and is trusted by others, and who is also beautiful and energetic, even if my son is a fool, he would not abandon such a woman for someone like you!"
Jiang put her hands on her hips and talked about my daughter-in-law and then my Xue Lan, defending her in every word. She really treated her as her own daughter.
"Also, if you want to enter my Cheng family, no way! With your looks, your fate, and your petty thoughts, don't even dream!"
"My Cheng family is no longer the same as it used to be. We are not something that can be messed with by just any cat or dog. My words may not sound pleasant, but they are meant to warn those with bad intentions. Now that you know things are different from the past, now that you know my son and grandson are serving in the government and my eldest uncle is an official in the capital, then put aside those bad intentions."
"My Cheng family is not a good family. If you don't mess with us, you're fine. But if you mess with us, we don't mind using our power to bully others. Or rather, we don't even need to use our power to bully others! Just the two of us can do it!"
Jiang said this and pulled Cheng Yue over with great generosity.
