Old Mrs. Zhao's face flushed red and then turned pale as she was scolded, and she almost couldn't keep up her fake smile. In her heart, she cursed Zhang Laidi to the core.
If it weren't for her grandson, she would have rushed up and fought with Zhang Laidi long ago.
"How dare you talk like that, girl? Your mouth is so foul. What's your relationship with Xiulan? Do you have any right to interrupt? Shut your stinking mouth, I have nothing to say to you."
Su Xiulan stepped forward, blocking Zhang Laidi's path, and said without any politeness, "She is my aunt, and my aunt is right."
Why should I go back with you?
You're already divorced, why are you still shamelessly showing up at my door? What do you mean by this?
They didn't come earlier or later, but they just happened to wait until I was about to finish my postpartum confinement period to come.
I'm telling you, I'm not going back with you. Get lost if you have nothing else to do.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jianguo's face immediately darkened: "Xiulan, how could you think of us like that? My mother and I came all this way to pick you up, and you don't even appreciate it?"
When Meng Shuyun saw that Ye Jianguo and his mother had come to her door, a surge of anger welled up in her heart. She wondered what good things these two could possibly have.
Without saying a word, he rushed forward and unleashed a series of fierce punches at the mother and son, catching Old Lady Zhao and Ye Jianguo off guard.
"Meng Shuyun, what's wrong with you? I came to pick up your daughter out of kindness, and you dare to hit me? Is there no law? Is there no reason to talk about this?!" Old Mrs. Zhao covered her face with both hands, trembling with anger, and roared with wide eyes.
Zhang Laidi put her hands on her hips and sneered in a shrill voice, "Reason? That's for people to hear. You think you're qualified? Look at you, you're talking like a human being, and you still have the nerve to talk about reason here!"
"Aunt Meng, you're finally back! You have no idea, those weasels were like weasels paying New Year's visits to chickens—they had no good intentions! Good riddance, they even dared to bully Xiulan!"
Ignoring Old Lady Zhao's shouts, Meng Shuyun hurriedly pulled Su Xiulan over, looked her up and down, and asked with concern, "Xiulan, did they give you any trouble? Are you injured anywhere, or are you feeling unwell?"
Su Xiulan gently shook her head and said, "Mother, don't worry, how could I let myself suffer a loss?"
I'm fine, it's just that our house was burned to the ground in that fire.
These past two days, Xiuju and I have been staying at Aunt Zhang's house, which has caused her a lot of trouble.
Meng Shuyun looked at Zhang Laidi with gratitude and said sincerely, "Sister, I'm so sorry for causing you so much trouble. I will definitely make up for the expenses of the two sisters later."
"Aunt Meng, what are you saying! It's nothing, I happen to have a spare room at home, staying for a few days is no problem!"
The group chatted amongst themselves, completely ignoring Ye Jianguo and his mother.
Ye Jianguo and Old Lady Zhao's faces instantly turned extremely ugly, turning pale and then purple.
Ye Jianguo gritted his teeth, suppressing his displeasure, and took a step forward with a thick skin, saying insincerely, "Mother-in-law, I have come to apologize to Xiulan this time and ask for her forgiveness."
The one I love most in my heart will always be Xiulan.
I now truly know I was wrong, and I will definitely treat Xiulan and the children better from now on.
I promise to change my ways and never mistreat them again.
Old Mrs. Zhao was extremely unwilling, feeling like she was being given the cold shoulder.
She was humiliated in front of so many people; she's a person who cares about her reputation.
But when she thought about how Su Xiulan had been away from home for more than half a month, she had to take care of all the big and small things at home herself, leaving her with a sore back and aching waist, and she also had to take care of that delicate Liu Xiaomeng.
If Su Xiulan could go back, all these chores could be left to her.
Anyway, Su Xiulan has always been capable, so what's wrong with her doing a little more work?
When the time comes, let Ye Jianguo say a few sweet words and coax her. Given how devoted Su Xiulan was to Ye Jianguo in the past, how could she not listen to him?
And that 10,000 yuan, we can get it back smoothly, right?
Thinking about it this way, Old Lady Zhao suppressed the urge to rush up and fight, and spoke up for her son: "Xiulan, that's enough for you."
Jianguo is a grown man, and for him to beg you so humbly, that's giving you a lot of face.
We're doing this all for your own good. Do you really want your two children to be born without a father?
Besides, they are all children of the Ye family; they can't live under someone else's roof forever.
In my opinion, returning to the Ye family is the wisest choice for you.
Ye Jianguo arrived in a car; in those days, very few people could afford a car.
This attracted a lot of people who came to watch and see what was going on.
Some people even nodded in agreement after hearing what Grandma Zhao said.
"Xiulan, your husband and mother-in-law have come to pick you up in person. Isn't that a rare treat? Every couple has their ups and downs in life. Don't take your good fortune for granted."
“This young man is so young, yet his family is so wealthy. If you give up so easily, you'll be missing out! Your mother-in-law is right; you'll enjoy a comfortable retirement in the future. Why can't you understand this and insist on going back to your parents' home!”
"If you ask me, a son-in-law this good is hard to find even with a lantern. He's giving you a way out, so just take it. This young man is so eligible; if you don't cherish him, there are plenty of girls lining up to marry him!"
As Ye Jianguo and Old Lady Zhao listened to these supportive words, they straightened their backs immediately, and the more they listened, the more they felt that what these people were saying made sense.
Absolutely! Ye Jianguo is such an outstanding man, so many girls are eagerly hoping to marry him!
If it weren't for her grandson and the ten thousand yuan, Old Lady Zhao wouldn't have wanted to come to this poor, remote place.
But when she thought about the humiliation she had suffered here today, Old Lady Zhao felt like she had a ball of fire stuck in her heart, making her feel suffocated.
Once she had tricked Su Xiulan into going back, registered her grandson's household registration, and gotten her money back, the first thing she did was kick Su Xiulan out of the house.
She started plotting again. Her husband had been away on a business trip for quite some time, and she had heard that the superior had a powerful family background and a beautiful daughter.
When the time comes, Ye Jianguo can marry that girl. This will not only help Ye Jianguo's career but also drive away Su Xiulan. It would be a win-win situation.
Meng Shuyun held Su Xiulan's hand tightly and raised her voice, saying, "Xiulan, a man's words are deceitful. If you can believe a man's words, pigs can fly! I respect your decision. Are you going to go back with that heartless scumbag Ye Jianguo?"
Looking at Ye Jianguo's extremely hypocritical face, Su Xiulan felt nauseous and her stomach churned.
Looking at his expression, listening to those flattering words, he seemed to be enjoying it, as if he deserved to be fawned over like that.
"Pah!" Su Xiulan couldn't help but spit at Ye Jianguo, her face full of contempt as she sneered, "A scumbag like him, whoever wants him can take him."
Can't you understand human language?
As expected, animals simply cannot communicate with humans.
Just now, wasn't Auntie praising Ye Jianguo as a 'good son-in-law'?
Sure!
"I don't want her anymore. If you have a daughter at home, call her over quickly, or someone else might snatch her away."
