If Wu Ju and Zhang Xiaoqin hadn't dodged quickly, they would have been soaked by now. Kang Yong had come to visit with good intentions, but he hadn't treated them politely. Instead, he had humiliated them. The proud Zhang Xiaoqin couldn't stand it.
"What kind of people are these? They are so crooked, no wonder they gave birth to a daughter like that."
"Old woman, why don't you close the door? Don't worry, the vicious dogs will come in and bark."
Zhang Xiaoqin rushed forward, pointed at Kang Yong and shouted, wanting to slap him twice. "How can you talk like that, old man? Who did you call a vicious dog?"
"I'm just scolding you, what can you do? You uneducated thing, didn't your mother teach you to respect the elderly and love the young? Did I invite you here? You're asking for a scolding."
"You old fool..."
Zhang Xiaoqin was furious, and the two were about to fight when Kang Fadada and his wife, who had heard the noise from the inner room, came out to intervene. Wu Ju, remembering the purpose of her visit, gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger, helping to pull Zhang Xiaoqin apart.
It took a lot of effort to separate the two.
Wu Ju respectfully presented the things she brought, and Kang Yong sat down calmly for the sake of the things.
Everyone was sitting in the main room, and the atmosphere was still a little tense.
"Father-in-law, it's my fault for not disciplining me properly. I hope you can forgive my mistakes and not take it personally."
It is true that there is always someone who can conquer you. Wu Ju, who is usually so sarcastic and mean, becomes a docile little lamb when she meets Kang Yong, who is fearless.
Kang Yong crossed his legs and smoked his leaf tobacco. Even though Wu Ju was so humble, he didn't want to pay any attention. Wu Ju's warm face was met with a cold butt.
Zhang Xiaoqin, who was still holding her breath, was about to act rashly again. Wu Ju, who was sitting next to her, held her hand tightly and kept winking at her, signaling her not to be impulsive.
Kang Fadada also sat next to Kang Yong, fearing that Kang Yong would get angry and start fighting with them again.
"Is this prosperity? I often hear Shumei mention you. You see, Shumei has been married to my family for so many years, but she has never had the time to visit you. You are really handsome and dignified!"
Seeing that the old man was a tough nut to crack, Wu Ju started with Kang Fadada.
"Aunt, thank you for your compliment. I wonder what brings you here today? Did something happen to my sister?"
"Shumei is fine, nothing happened. It's just that my son died young, leaving them alone, an orphan and a widow, and leaving Shumei to carry the family's burdens. Seeing her go out early and come back late, working day and night, really hurts me. She is still so young, and I came here this time to discuss with you and help her find someone she can rely on."
Wu Ju told Kang Fadada her thoughts, but in fact her purpose was to let Kang Yong hear them. As Wu Ju spoke, she also carefully observed Kang Yong's reaction.
"A married woman is like spilled water. Why would you come to us to discuss this? You can find someone you like wherever you want. It has nothing to do with us."
Kang Yong finally couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke angrily before Kang Fadada could say anything.
"But she might not listen to what I, her mother-in-law, say! That's why I'm bothering you, my father-in-law. I'd like you to come out and persuade Shumei and help her with the process."
Wu Ju isn't always a foul-mouthed person! She can be kind and polite sometimes!
At this time, she was in a pleasant mood and her words were very pleasant to the ear. You really couldn't tell that she was an evil mother-in-law who wanted to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
"I can't be bothered with that kind of thing. I can't even take care of my own business, so how can I have time to care about hers?"
"It's so prosperous! Look, this is our first time here. Why don't you take my Xiaoqin out for a walk while I discuss it with your father?"
Wu Ju knew that Kang Yong was a snob and that money was all he needed to manipulate him. But she was too embarrassed to say it out loud in front of Kang Fadada, so she had to find an excuse to get Kang Fadada away.
Kang Fadada glanced at Kang Yong, and seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he stood up and led Zhang Xiaoqin out the door.
Seeing the two people walking away, Wu Ju secretly glanced around and walked over to sit next to Kang Yong. "Father-in-law, if you can really help Shumei get married, all the gifts from the man will be yours, and our Zhang family will also send you a fat pig as a thank you."
Kang Yong seemed to be thinking about something and continued to take a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand.
He didn't expect that Wu Ju could be so generous and actually wanted to marry Shumei off. Is it true that Shumei is so unwelcome in her family?
He began to doubt Wu Ju's words and looked at her with a puzzled look. Wu Ju smiled at him awkwardly.
