Chapter 488: Being Caught in the Middle
When the Su family heard that Grandma Du was coming, they hurried out to greet her.
Chunya's expression changed.
In the end, I followed him out reluctantly.
"Mom, are you tired?" Mrs. Su was filled with joy when she saw Grandma Du. "I'll help you, please go slowly..."
"Why should I be tired? My old bones are still strong." Grandma Du said with a smile.
"Grandma." Little Tangbao said sweetly, "Tangbao will help you too."
When Grandma Du heard what Xiao Tangbao said, she laughed so hard that the wrinkles on her face began to tremble.
"Hey, Tang Bao, help grandma..."
Grandma Du was warmly welcomed in by everyone in the Su family.
After some greetings, Old Lady Su introduced Mrs. Xia to Grandma Du.
Although Mrs. Xia was of a high rank, since she treated the Su family as legitimate relatives, she naturally would not let Grandma Du bow to her.
Instead, it was I who gave Grandma Du the respect of a younger generation.
Grandma Du naturally did not like Mrs. Xia's courtesy, so she quickly helped Mrs. Xia up.
Old Mrs. Su knew that Madam Xia was tired from the journey, so she asked Xiao Tangbao to take Madam Xia to the back to rest.
Now that I have more rooms at home, it’s quite spacious.
As soon as Mrs. Xia left, Grandma Du looked at Chunya with a sharp gaze.
"Kneel down!" Grandma Du said sternly.
"Milk..." Chunya's face changed drastically.
It was both unbelievable and embarrassing.
She didn't expect that her grandmother would be so disrespectful to her.
He scolded her directly in front of outsiders.
"Don't call me!" Grandma Du said sternly, "If you still want to recognize me as your grandmother, kneel down and admit your mistake!"
A hint of surprise flashed across Old Mrs. Su's face.
Then, he winked at Mrs. Su and others.
Several sons and daughters-in-law of the Su family quickly avoided it.
However, Qian Yuemei adhered to her usual style and hid outside the door.
Mrs. Su glanced at Qian Yuemei, and rarely showed any expression of disapproval.
My second brother and his wife are away these days, so I feel like I know a lot less gossip.
Mrs. Su entered the kitchen and saw Shi Liu washing Chinese cabbage.
Knowing that it was my sister-in-law who wanted to eat dumplings made with bok choy, I started kneading the dough immediately.
Soon, Qian Yuemei ran over and said mysteriously, "Sister-in-law, you would never have thought that this cousin actually ran away secretly. Grandma and uncle don't know where she went. The whole family has been searching for her..."
Qian Yuemei tutted her lips when she said this, and then added: "Hearing what grandma said, I thought she eloped with someone."
Mrs. Su, “…”
Isn’t this cousin too bold?
No, maybe it should be said that I am too restless.
Such a person must not have anything to do with the fifth brother under any circumstances!
"Originally, my grandmother and uncle had chosen a family for her and were about to propose marriage, but she secretly ran away, so we had no choice but to cancel the marriage..."
Qian Yuemei said this while shaking her head with a look of regret on her face.
Mrs. Su glanced at Qian Yuemei and asked, "Then how did she find her way to our house?"
"How would I know that?" Qian Yuemei said casually, "I just ran into her when I went out that day. She said she saw I wasn't feeling well and wanted to stay and help me. I thought she was sincere and since we're relatives, it was hard to refuse..."
"Then you didn't ask if grandma and uncle knew she stayed in the county town?" Mrs. Su wiped her hands and started chopping cabbage. "You just left her there so carelessly, and made Fifth Brother unable to return home and had to continue living in the academy..."
Qian Yuemei, “…”
When I heard Mrs. Su mention Su Laowu, I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Of course she knew that if it weren't for Chunya, Su Laowu would not have lived in the academy.
After all, it is inconvenient for several people to share one room in the academy.
"Sister-in-law, I know that she ran away secretly..." Qian Yuemei said embarrassedly.
Mrs. Su shook her head and said in a serious voice, "Since you have seen through her thoughts, you shouldn't have kept her! Even if it's just to tell the family, if this incident delays my fifth brother's studies, you..."
Mrs. Su paused at this point and looked at Qian Yuemei with disapproval.
He added, "In short, remember, nothing is more important than your fifth brother's studies!"
"I know, sister-in-law." Qian Yuemei said quickly: "I will never let her in again!"
Qian Yuemei's attitude is particularly good.
I have to say that since the incident in the county town, the relationship between Qian Yuemei and her sister-in-law has improved a lot.
She also discovered that no matter what the man was thinking, as long as her husband's family was on her side, she would feel confident.
"Sister-in-law, can you help me persuade my mother?" Qian Yuemei asked with a pleading look on her face.
"What's wrong with Mom?" Mrs. Su asked in confusion.
"Mom is angry about my cousin." Qian Yuemei didn't hide it and said, "She said she won't let me go to the county town anymore."
Mrs. Su looked at Qian Yuemei, speechless.
Didn’t you do this yourself?
Life was good, but even though he knew his cousin was restless, he still kept her in the house.
When Qian Yuemei saw that Mrs. Su didn't say anything, she immediately became anxious.
"Sister-in-law, you know there's that little devil in the county town. If I don't keep an eye on her, she might get her way someday..."
"Qian Yuemei, what are you talking about?!" Su Laoer stood at the kitchen door and said angrily.
He wanted to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of sour plum soup, but happened to hear Qian Yuemei's words.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Qian Yuemei said unconvincedly, "Now that I'm watching, that little widow still keeps holding that little girl and trying to have a chance encounter with you."
"Humph! Don't think I don't know what she's thinking when she hits me!"
"Can she hide her little tricks from me?"
When Su Laoer heard Qian Yuemei's words, his face turned dark.
"Don't talk nonsense! What do you mean by chance encounter? We just happened to bump into each other on the street!"
Qian Yuemei curled her lips.
"Only once? Humph! If I went, it was only once. If I didn't go, it wouldn't be just once. Isn't it just a chance encounter?"
Su Laoer, "..."
The veins on his forehead began to throb.
"Alright! Stop talking!" Sister Su said, acting like the eldest sister-in-law. "On such a happy day, no one should make our parents angry, and no one should let outsiders see and laugh at us."
After saying that, he looked at Qian Yuemei and continued, "I will persuade mother to let you continue to follow your second brother to the county town. However, if your cousin comes to see you secretly again, you are not allowed to let her stay, and you are not allowed to let anyone disturb your fifth brother's studies."
When Qian Yuemei heard this, her face was full of surprise.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely not keep her here any longer, and I will also make sure that no one disturbs my fifth brother from studying. My fifth brother is the future top scholar in our family." Qian Yuemei said happily.
I thought to myself, since my sister-in-law has agreed, my mother has always been partial to my sister-in-law, so she will definitely agree.
She can continue to enjoy herself in the county town!
After Qian Yuemei finished speaking, she looked at Su Laoer with pride.
Su Laoer, "..."
Qian Yuemei was filled with joy, while Su Laoer was preoccupied with the lawsuit.
He could naturally see that no one in the Su family was on his side regarding Madam Wu's affairs.
Although he felt aggrieved, he had no way to defend himself.
Especially when it came to Qian Yuemei going to the county town, it seemed as if the whole family thought that he had thoughts that he shouldn't have.
That's why he asked his wife to go to the county town to look after him.
Su Laoer felt vaguely as if he had been caught with a weakling.
