Chapter 9 Slapping the Xu Family in the Face
Ye Ran said slowly and deliberately, "Aunt Wei, I really don't know what you're talking about."
If you've eaten too much for dinner and have nowhere to vent your energy, go somewhere else and start yelling!
The onlookers burst into laughter, and some even whistled. They hadn't noticed before that the Ye family's precious daughter could speak so wittily. No wonder she was educated; she could insult people without using any vulgar language!
Even Ye Jun and Bai Yue forgot to be angry and couldn't help but laugh.
Wei Jinlian was absolutely furious. Over the years, she had become the tyrant of Liuye Village, and she had never met her match in her cursing and tantrums.
Today, she was verbally abused by a seventeen-year-old girl and couldn't refute it. She was also laughed at by so many people, which she simply couldn't tolerate.
Ye Ran crossed her arms and looked at Wei Jinlian, who had a resentful expression on her face. She sneered inwardly. Wei Jinlian was just an illiterate woman who had never been to school. How could she possibly know the word "gratitude"?
It's obvious he was sent by someone else, and that "someone" must be Xu Qingyan!
After marrying into the Xu family in her previous life, she discovered that Wei Jinlian and the Xu family's several sharp-tongued daughters were nothing more than pawns of the Xu family. The real ones giving orders were Xu Qiang and Xu Qingyan!
They hid behind these women, managing many matters, big and small, and the blame was all borne by these women.
Xu Qiang became a quiet, taciturn character, while Xu Qingyan successfully portrayed himself as a fine bamboo shoot emerging from a wicked bamboo!
Outsiders only pity him for being born into such a family, but they never consider that the Xu family revolves around him...
Whenever it's inconvenient for him to show up, he'll send someone else to cause trouble. And whatever he wants, Wei Jinlian will throw a tantrum and snatch it back for him. This is Xu Qingyan, a complete hypocrite!
Just then, a soft, weak voice came from behind, "Mom, my brother isn't feeling well. I think we should go back first?"
Ye Ran looked in the direction of the sound and saw a thin figure with dark skin and straw-like hair that was disheveled on his head.
Her malnourished face showed a cautious expression, as if she had been used to being frightened since childhood, like a startled bird, easily frightened by the slightest sound.
But Ye Ran did not underestimate her. This was Xu Qingyan's youngest sister, Xu Xiaocao. Xu Qingyan was the second oldest in the Xu family, with an older sister and two younger sisters. As an only child, Xu Qingyan was naturally pampered and adored from a young age.
The eldest sister, Xu Yue, was naturally the most beloved child. Although the third sister, Xu Di, was not the son they had hoped for, she was sweet-talking and clever from a young age, and because she looked like Wei Jinlian, she also had a good life.
Only the youngest, Xu Xiaocao, was bullied in the Xu family because she was born to Wei Jinlian, which damaged her health and made her unable to have children again.
However, when the baby was born, it turned out to be a daughter, which caused Wei Jinlian to vent all her resentment on Wei Xiaocao.
But Wei Xiaocao wasn't the pitiful little thing everyone thought she was. On the contrary, she could be said to be the smartest person in the Wei family. Xu Qingyan's success was due to the full support and cultivation of the Xu family, but in the end, Xu Xiaocao also unexpectedly stood out.
Of course, if her rise to prominence wasn't achieved by stepping on others...
Before marrying into the Xu family, Xu Xiaocao was the one who took care of all the chores.
After Ye Ran married into the Xu family, Xu Xiaocao was very good at playing the victim in front of her. Out of sympathy for her, Ye Ran unknowingly began to take over her affairs.
He took on all the big and small matters of the Xu family, making life even more difficult, while Xu Xiaocao became more relaxed.
Because she did less work, Xu Xiaocao was no longer malnourished and began to grow up, eventually becoming the most beautiful girl in the Wei family!
After she grew up to be beautiful, she naturally became useful, and the Xu family's attitude towards her improved considerably.
