Suti chattered away, trying to coax people, and the rest of the Guo family behind her laughed out loud.
Suti woke up early in the morning but kept dozing off. In the end, her family coaxed her upstairs to take a nap.
I was half asleep when I was woken up by noises from downstairs.
Her family loves her and knows she's sleeping upstairs, so they definitely wouldn't make such a loud noise.
She sat up and listened carefully. The loud voice sounded familiar, and it took her a long time to remember that the person seemed to be her grandmother.
She dressed in a huff, already prepared for her awful grandmother to come knocking.
"Oh, what time is it that you're only getting up now? You came back but didn't even think to wish your grandma a Happy New Year. You're surnamed Su, not Guo."
Cheng Xiaocao, Su Nianyou's mother, was displeased with Su Ti's spoiled and delicate manner.
What kind of behavior is it for a young girl to be raised like this by her eldest son?
"Auntie, you know this is the Guo family, not the Su family. What are you doing here acting like an elder? Do you even have the right to speak here?"
"It's none of your business how I behave in my own home. You should take care of your good-for-nothing son who hasn't been weaned yet."
Suti slowly went downstairs, looking at the two people and feeling very unfamiliar. It was like a past life, and they were still just as annoying.
"How dare you talk like that? I'm your elder, your aunt." Cheng Xiaocao said, feeling embarrassed when no one responded.
Wasn't this girl usually quiet? She never dared to say a word whenever she said something. How come she dared to talk back to her this time?
It seems she's married well and has a lot of confidence now. Thinking about this makes her liver ache even more. Why is it that the eldest daughter of the family married so well, while none of her daughters married well?
"Alright, stop making such a fuss. You have no manners at all. Wuya, get up! Come here and let Grandma take a look."
Grandma Su glared at Cheng Xiaocao, her eyes telling her not to forget the purpose of her visit.
"What 'Five-child'? My mother only gave birth to me." Su Ti looked at the old lady Su, who didn't even want to call her "Grandma."
Her relationship with her mother has never been good. She grew up at her maternal grandmother's house and was even less close to her.
What's more, this person is ruthless. She was extremely gloating over their family's situation in their past life.
“You child, your surname is Su, and you are the fifth among your sisters. How can you not be Wuya?”
Grandma Su felt that her granddaughter wasn't close to her. Despite having the surname Su, she was closer to the Guo family and had been led astray.
She was happy when the Guo family took a liking to her eldest son, but so many years have passed and she hasn't gained any benefits, and the child isn't close to her either.
Su Ti didn't care, but her eldest grandson was the treasure of the Su family. He was so successful now, and he could help her cousin in the future.
"If you have a problem with that, I don't think it's a big deal that I'm surnamed Guo." Su Ti could tell from the way her eyes were darting around that she definitely had bad intentions.
"You...you are being unfilial! Who taught you these things?" Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Su glared angrily at her eldest daughter-in-law, implying that she had corrupted the child.
"I'm already married, who needs to teach me? I can change my surname if I want, and nobody can stop me. You've come here just to ask me what my surname will be in the future?"
Suti knew that these people wouldn't come to her unless they had something to ask for. She didn't dare offend the Guo family, but she was also unwilling to get nothing in return.
She's never had a peaceful life these past few years, but her father is a sensible man; apart from his retirement money, he's never let them take advantage of her.
"Hmph, speaking of this, I have to say something. I'm your own grandmother. Why didn't you bring your grandson-in-law to visit me after you got married?"
"You made me come in person? That's so disrespectful. Is this how the Guo family raises its children?" Old Mrs. Su was furious when she said this.
She had heard that her granddaughter had returned, and even arrived in a military vehicle; the groom's family must be quite well-off.
She waited and waited, but they didn't come to visit. She got anxious and rushed over to see them. After all, they were her grandmother, and they were determined to show her respect.
"What does my Guo family's situation have to do with you? My daughter hasn't eaten a single grain of rice or flour from your family. Since you claim to be her grandmother, how much dowry are you planning to give her now that she's getting married?"
Guo Xuqing and this old lady have never gotten along harmoniously. Based on the idea that she will not offend others unless they offend her, she has never really fallen out with her over the years.
The Su family didn't dare to truly offend her, so they only dared to use filial piety to pressure her. Fortunately, her husband was of one mind with her, and over the years he had kept them firmly under his control.
The old lady knew that her youngest son was unreliable, and she didn't dare to truly offend them.
Now she thinks she can use filial piety to pressure her daughter? Dream on.
"This...this is between me and my granddaughter, how dare you speak to me?" Old Mrs. Su was taken aback by Guo Xuqing's words.
She has no money for a dowry; she's here for some benefits.
“I am Nannan’s biological mother. You, who are not even related to her by name, can ask, so why can’t I?” Guo Xuqing was not going to give her any face.
"What do you mean by 'grandmother in name only'? What are you talking about, sir? Listen to what your wife is saying!"
“I told you from the beginning that you shouldn’t marry a woman from a wealthy family, but you insisted on doing so. Look at how much she has oppressed our Su family over the years, to the point that we can’t even survive.”
"She disrespects the elderly, doesn't respect us at all, and has raised her two children to side with outsiders. My life is so miserable!"
"I worked so hard to raise my children, and I never had a good life. Now that I'm old, I still have to put up with my daughter-in-law's attitude."
"Boss, you need to give me a straight answer. You need to keep an eye on this wife. Putting everything else aside, you can't raise the two kids to be distant from our Su family."
Grandma Su sang beautifully, and after saying all that, she made it seem like the Guo family were the villains.
"Mom, if all else fails, I'll marry into the Guo family. That way, none of the problems you're thinking about will come to an end."
“After you marry into the family, the child will take the surname Guo, and you won’t need to give any dowry. You won’t have to worry about your daughter-in-law’s attitude.”
"Think about it, you don't even have a son anymore, so where will you find a daughter-in-law? Oh, don't worry, you still have a younger son. When the time comes, the Cheng family will definitely not dare to suppress you."
"After all, her family is from the countryside, so you can definitely manipulate her however you want, and you can act like a tyrant at home."
"Your son is unfilial, but this is the best solution I can think of. What do you think?" After Su's father finished speaking, the room became much quieter.
Even Suti looked over; her dad really was...
"You...you...you are unfilial!" Old Mrs. Su opened her mouth, but could only say this one sentence in the end, and could not say a word else.
"Pfft!" Guo Xuqing tried to hold it in, but in the end she couldn't help it.
Grandma Su's eyes widened; she knew her unfilial son was telling the truth.
