Chapter 74 The Yan Family Visitors
When Mrs. Xu heard that the old lady of the Yan family had arrived, she immediately packed up and went to the front yard to meet her former mother-in-law.
The two old ladies met again after seven or eight years. Seeing that each other had aged a little, they both felt a little emotional.
"My dear relatives, we haven't seen each other for many years. You and I are both old."
"Yeah, we're all old now. We're all going to be great-grandmothers. How can we not grow old?"
The two old ladies exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Old Lady Yan introduced the old lady next to her: "This is my younger sister. She married into the Gong family in Pingzhou City. You can call her Zhao Sanniang."
"So it's your sister. No wonder they look alike." Although Mrs. Xu didn't know how this person came to the Cui family, she was still polite. "When you come to the Cui family, there's no need to be too polite. Just treat yourself as your own family."
Old Madam Yan and Old Madam Gong are sisters from the same mother, so naturally they look somewhat similar.
Old Madam Yan was wearing a dark purple, cross-collared, wide-sleeved shirt with a matching long skirt. The hem was delicately embroidered with gourd vines. Her slightly gray hair was meticulously combed, and she had two golden gourd earrings on her ears.
She looks like a dignified and respectable old lady, but a little serious when she is not smiling.
Although Madam Gong was Madam Yan's younger sister, she looked older than Madam Yan. Half of her hair was white and her face was thin. However, she was dressed neatly and cleanly, wearing a navy blue cross-collared dress with a royal blue waist skirt tied around her waist.
Madam Gong had a worried look on her face and said, "My dear, I am really sorry to bother you this time."
Madam Yan explained to Madam Xu, "Sixth Lady sent a letter to the Yan family a while ago, saying that your Fifth Master wanted to arrange a ghost marriage. I wonder if it's true or not?"
Mrs. Xu's expression darkened upon hearing this, but she nodded in the end: "It is true, but it is Liu Niang who is in charge of this matter, not me, an old lady."
When talking about this, Mrs. Xu felt angry.
Her granddaughter was really capable. She had only agreed to let the fisherwoman marry into the family, but she never thought that she would actually arrange a ghost marriage and find a maiden's family for her.
That’s amazing, why doesn’t she go to heaven!
snort!
Madam Yan was a little surprised when she heard this: "Don't my in-laws care?"
Such an important matter is left to an unmarried young lady?
"Never mind, never mind." Old Madam Xu was annoyed. "That woman killed my son. Do you think an old lady like me should be responsible for welcoming her home? I'm being very kind by agreeing to let her in."
Old Mrs. Xu was unwilling to do so out of selfish reasons. She still held a grudge against the fisherwoman because she lost her son.
But Cui Si was right in saying that since this was her son's last wish, he might still be waiting to be reunited with that woman in the underworld. As a mother, she should fulfill his wish.
Besides, the children in the family also felt sorry for their uncle who had suffered so much in his life and did not have a good ending until his death.
The old lady didn't agree, and the child felt embarrassed.
At this time, Cui Si and Cui Hao just walked in from outside. Old Madam Xu saw them and became even more angry: "Look, she's here, go talk to her yourselves."
Cui Si brought Cui Hao in and bowed to the elders: "Sixth Lady greets Grandmother, greets Grandmother, greets Third Aunt, and pays respects to the three elders."
Old Mrs. Xu snorted: "Greetings, only if you behave yourself can I be at peace."
The old lady was still furious, so Cui Si stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, begging for mercy: "Grandma, my grandmother and my great aunt are here, please give me some face."
"You still want to save face, you still have face, quickly let go, this is not decent."
The grandfather and grandson were pulling and tugging at each other. Although Mrs. Xu looked angry, she didn't push the man away.
Madam Yan smiled and said, "Don't be so picky with her, my dear. She is still young and doesn't understand many things. If she doesn't do well, just teach her well."
Old Mrs. Xu thought to herself: If I teach her well, she wants to teach me how to be a good person. If I give her a good face, she will fly to heaven.
Old Madam Gong stared at Cui Haokan.
The young lady was only thirteen years old. She had a round face that looked soft and cute, with a pair of sparkling eyes. When she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she looked very well-behaved and gentle.
"Are you Cui Hao?"
Cui Hao nodded: "To answer your question, I am indeed Cui Hao."
Madam Gong said, "My mother's surname is Zhao, and she is the younger sister of your cousin's grandmother. My husband's surname is Gong. They had a daughter a long time ago, but perhaps they were not destined to be together, so they were separated and never found again."
"I've heard about your story. You need to find a family for your mother. My Gong family happened to have lost a daughter that year. Are you willing to recognize my family?"
this......
Cui Hao didn't dare to agree and just looked at Cui Si.
Cui Si said, "Don't worry, Third Aunt. Since you're here at the Cui family, why don't you stay for a couple of days and spend some time with Ah Hao?"
Madam Gong nodded when she heard this: "Okay, child, where do you live? Would you mind taking me there for a visit?"
Cui Si signaled Cui Hao to agree, and Cui Hao nodded, then invited Mrs. Gong to sit in her yard.
After the two men left, Old Lady Xu also left, leaving Cui Si to talk to the Yan family.
Old Madam Yan smiled and introduced the man and woman standing behind her to Cui Si: "Sixth Lady, you haven't been to Pingzhou City for a long time, but you still remember these two people. They are your second cousin and fourth cousin."
My second cousin’s name is Yan Jishen and my fourth cousin’s name is Yan Suxin.
Cui Si greeted the two men.
In fact, the three Cui siblings began to become estranged from the Yan family after Yan's death.
At that time, Yan was seriously ill and would not live for many days. Everyone in the Yan family came to visit her, but they never expected that the Yan family actually proposed to let Yan's younger sister marry in as a second wife.
Yan disagreed, and the Yan family became unhappy, feeling that she was not considering the Yan family.
Cui Si and her two siblings felt sad for their mother and thought that the Yan family was too heartless to mention this matter to the dying Yan, asking her to arrange for her sister to marry her husband after her death.
Therefore, after Yan passed away, both sides had some opinions about each other.
In addition, when Mr. Cui wanted to marry Song Rou, the Yan family also came to find Cui Si and his two sisters, hoping that they could help arrange for the Yan family's daughter to marry into the family.
Cui Si and her two siblings also disagreed, which made the Yan family even more unhappy.
So the exchanges gradually became less and less.
"Cousin." Yan Suxin smiled shyly and stepped forward to pull Cui Si's sleeve. "I heard that my cousin is engaged, is it true?"
"By the way, was that the daughter of Master Cui Wu just now? She's actually going to marry General Shen?"
"Cousin, have you seen General Shen? I heard that he has red lips and white teeth, like a pretty boy. Is that true?"
"Fourth Lady." Old Madam Yan showed suspicion on her face, and her voice contained a hint of warning.
Yan Suxin's face froze, and her eyes immediately turned red: "If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'm just curious."
