This is what Grandma Wei and her family saw when they came out carrying large and small bags.
She was furious. Her son was a phoenix from the mountains, the pride of their whole family and even the entire village. How could he let a little girl shield him from the sun?
Seeing that there was still something she didn't understand, Wei Yang quickly took Xu Wan's hand and walked over, sweetly calling her "Mom."
"Mom, you're here! Let me introduce you. This is your future daughter-in-law, Wanwan."
Their gazes fell upon Xu Wan, scrutinizing her directly.
That uninhibited gaze was as if he were appraising a product.
Being too good-looking makes it easy to attract unwanted attention.
My hips aren't big enough; I wonder if I'll be able to have a son.
Dressing too nicely leads to wasting money.
Most importantly, she actually made her son hold an umbrella for her, which is an heinous crime.
"You must be Xu Wan. What do you do?"
After considering for a moment, Old Mrs. Wei remembered what her son had asked her to do and reluctantly said, "Daughter, please don't mind my bluntness."
The first sentence left Xu Wan a little confused. She thought her aunt didn't like her and was wondering what to do when her aunt explained.
Xu Wan thoughtfully recalled what Wei Yang had said: his parents were uneducated and sometimes their words might not be very pleasant, so she shouldn't mind.
"I work at the department store. Uncle and Auntie, you must be tired. Let's find a place to eat quickly."
Xu Wan very considerately said that it was really too hot on this day, and they were hungry after standing all morning.
"No need, no need. Let's talk about it when we get home. Eating out costs too much money. We can just grab a quick bite at home."
Before anyone else could speak, Old Lady Wei quickly interjected, "Eating out costs too much money."
What good food is there? In the end, it all turns into poop and comes out.
"Besides, what's the use of eating the best food if it all ends up as poop in the end?"
Upon hearing Old Lady Wei's words, Xu Wan's expression changed.
While there's nothing wrong with what I'm saying, why do I have to say it out loud?
Saying it out loud would only upset me more.
Seeing Xu Wan's dark expression, Wei Yang quickly spoke up.
"Mom, why are you saying this? Let's hurry up and pack our things and go home first. We'll go eat after we drop them off. I got paid today, I have some money."
Only after Wei Yang spoke did they reluctantly follow.
To be honest, Xu Wan's first impression of them was a little unpleasant.
It wasn't quite what she expected.
She imagined the other person to be a kind-looking old lady, poor but well-dressed, whose first words to her would be to compliment her on her looks.
Then they went out to eat together and got along very well afterward.
but……
The other person's somewhat rude words were unbearable for her.
And the way they looked at her.
"Wanwan, let's go."
Wei Yang stepped back, took Xu Wan's hand, looked at her apologetically, and whispered something in her ear.
“That’s just how my mom is. People from the countryside speak their minds directly, but it’s okay, they come and stay for two days and then leave. It’ll just be the two of us afterward, alright?”
If Wei Yang was able to come back and coax her, making Xu Wan feel that Wei Yang really loved her, then she could manage even if it was just for a few more days.
Xu Wan suggested taking the bus, but Grandma Wei disagreed, saying it was a waste of money.
Xu Wan: "..."
"It's only an hour, you can walk there easily. Back then, it could take us five or six hours."
Xu Wan was speechless. Carrying large bags and small packages, and even live chickens and ducks, she didn't know how they got on the train or how they walked.
The noise from the chickens and ducks was incredibly loud, and Xu Wan felt a bit annoyed.
If Mo Yan were here, she would definitely say, "You're so spoiled. What's wrong with walking? It's good exercise."
But Xu Wan couldn't stand it.
