Chapter 2: Old Lady Xu Appears
"Does the Third Brother know about this?"
After hearing what his third daughter-in-law said, Mr. Xu's face turned really ugly. Although his Xu family was not a wealthy family, there was no reason for him to let his son become someone else's son-in-law.
"Dad, my husband is busy preparing for the exam. I think we don't need to bother him with these little things, right?"
Wang replied indifferently.
Old Master Xu felt mixed emotions when he looked at his daughter-in-law, who was well-educated and well-mannered when she first married into the Xu family.
Rich families marry their daughters off, while poor families marry their wives off!
Why had he been so foolish as to agree to such a marriage of inferior status?
"Father, if you don't have any other instructions, I'll go back and pack up, and then go into the city to serve my husband tomorrow!"
Seeing that Mr. Xu was speechless, Wang was extremely proud. It was a joke that such a country bumpkin wanted to control her.
"Boss!"
When Mr. Xu didn't know how to face his young daughter-in-law Wang, a soft call came from the room.
Old Mrs. Xu, the absolute protagonist of this Xu family incident, finally spoke out.
As the old lady's voice drifted out from the house, everyone in the yard was startled. Even Wang, who had been so arrogant in front of Old Master Xu just now, was a little panicked.
In the Xu family, on the surface, it is Old Man Xu who makes the decisions on all matters, big or small.
But in fact, many things in the Xu family are decided by the old lady.
Although Wang was noisy, she was still a little afraid of her mother-in-law, Old Lady Xu.
After all, as a father-in-law, Mr. Xu is not suitable to be involved in disciplining his daughter-in-law. As a mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu is the one who disciplines her daughter-in-law.
Not long after Mrs. Xu finished speaking, she walked out of the house.
Although she was already a grandmother, Old Lady Xu was actually less than 40 years old. And if you just looked at her face, you would believe she was just over 30.
The Xu family was not wealthy, but they were not poor either, otherwise they would not have been able to afford to send all three sons to school.
The family's finances are not tight, and there are not many household matters to worry about. Old Mrs. Xu lives a really comfortable life.
As for this person, once her life goes well, she doesn't look old anymore.
In fact, not only does Mrs. Xu not look old, but Mr. Xu also looks like this.
Why did Wang's father want to marry his daughter off to a lower-class family? Wasn't it because he saw the Xu family's good reputation? But Wang herself was ignorant and could not understand her father's good intentions.
Even the small courtyard in the county town this time was asked by Wang for her old father.
However, Wang played a two-faced role, saying one thing to her old father and another to the people of the Xu family.
As soon as Old Lady Xu appeared, without saying a word, she just glanced at Wang's face, which made Wang's heart tremble.
Wang's pride instantly vanished. She was careful and whispered, "Mother!"
Old Madam Xu snorted and said, "My third daughter-in-law, what's going on with that small courtyard in the county town?"
The old lady is really powerful as she is able to actually hold power in the Xu family.
While Mr. Xu was still angry at Wang's incomprehension, Mrs. Xu had already unraveled the matter and got to the core of the matter.
"You can talk nonsense all you want, but I'll ask the eldest brother to ask my father-in-law!"
Old Mrs. Xu spoke calmly, but Wang was completely panicked.
