Chapter 20 Returning Home



Although I don’t know what the mother and daughter are talking about, it’s not good to embarrass Huang Li and Ye Wei.

The old neighbors around had different expressions on their faces, and no one knew who took the lead, but they all spoke up to comfort him.

Some said that young people are busy with work, some said that the timing is not right and they will see what the Ye family's son-in-law looks like later...

The more comfort I have, the sadder I feel.

Ye Wei felt bad, and Huang Li was speechless and looked frighteningly ugly.

At this moment, someone pointed at a man and a woman walking towards them from a distance and exclaimed, "Hey, look, is that the girl from the Su family?"

"Judging from his stature, it looks like he's the Su family's new son-in-law, the one carrying so many things next to him?"

"Impossible!" Huang Liren denied it before she could even see clearly.

Not to mention whether that second-rate guy Lin Zhan would have the patience to accompany Su Lixuan back home, given the Lin family's conditions, how could they be willing to bring back a gift for Su Lixuan?

She didn't miss the sharp-eyed person behind her saying that the person came with a lot of things.

The three words "a lot" were highlighted in her mind.

Huang Li: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

How could this second-rate guy still have such intention?

A kind-hearted neighbor turned around and went back upstairs to call Jiang Cui.

By the time Su Lixuan and Lin Zhan reached the bottom of the building, Jiang Cui had already hurried downstairs to greet them, so anxious that she didn't even take off the apron around her waist.

In a panic, the first thing Jiang Cui saw was the pile of things in Lin Zhan's hand. She didn't even get a clear look at her son-in-law's appearance, as he was already laughing so hard that his eyes were squeezed shut.

She came down late and didn't know that Huang Li was showing off and then got slapped in the face.

Naturally, she didn't think that she should give Huang Li some face and take care of her daughter's feelings when it came to her daughter's return home. She shouldn't be so happy when she saw her son-in-law coming with a valuable gift.

She had no idea what was going on. At that moment, she couldn't stop laughing: "Hey! Why are you carrying so many things when you just came back?"

"It's so heavy, what are all these things? Let me see... Oh my, it's a waste to bring back all these good cigarettes, your dad doesn't even smoke much..."

With every word she spoke, Huang Li's face became darker.

Su Lixuan acted as if she hadn't noticed. She took her cheap mother's arm and said coquettishly, "I thought it was too heavy, but my mother-in-law insisted that I take it back."

"Look at this old hen. My mother-in-law specially asked someone to buy it from the countryside. Before I left, she asked me to bring it back for you to make soup to nourish your body."

She didn't say that Jiang Cui hadn't looked at it. There were really too many things, and now she was outside, so it was not convenient for her to look through them one by one.

As soon as her daughter finished speaking, Jiang Cui smacked her lips. "There's also an old hen? I was wondering why it was so heavy. Oh, this good thing is going to go to waste for me. Take it back and use it to nourish your body!"

"Your mother-in-law is so polite! I just saw that there seems to be some wine. It must have cost a lot of money. I've never seen such good packaging before..."

The mother and daughter chattered to each other, and the old neighbors around them also joined in the fun, praising Su Lixuan for her good marriage, saying that Jiang Cui had good taste in choosing such a sincere and honest relative.

In their entire lives, they've never heard of a young couple just getting married and the mother-in-law already thinking about nourishing her daughter-in-law's health. They've truly become a family. You wouldn't find such genuine in-laws even with a lantern...

Huang Li's face darkened with every sentence she heard.

Such compliments and envy should originally belong to her, even these return gifts should be hers!

But now she has to stand here and watch how glorious Jiang Cui is. Who can she blame for all this?

He glared at his daughter fiercely, it was all this incompetent guy's fault!

The road has been paved but I still don’t know how to get there.

As parents, they have snatched away promising men and wealthy in-laws, but they don’t know how to win the men’s hearts.

Huang Li Ke didn't believe her daughter's excuses, such as that her son-in-law had a mission and left in the morning.

Pooh!

He's treating her mother like a fool!

Now that her daughter has returned in disgrace, it is understandable that her son-in-law does not value her at all. Not only does he not value her daughter, he also does not value her as her in-laws.

Similarly, if the husband's family values ​​the new daughter-in-law at all, they will not let the new daughter-in-law return to her parents' home empty-handed.

It can be seen that this incompetent girl can neither capture a man's heart nor be valued by her in-laws.

Huang Li immediately felt that she was getting so hot that blisters were about to form at the corners of her mouth.

Seeing Jiang Cui, her mother, daughter and her new son-in-law being escorted back, she caught a glimpse of the neighbors who usually didn't get along with her occasionally glancing at her with mockery.

It seemed as if everything was self-evident. She had become the biggest joke of the day, and after today, she wasn't sure how people would laugh at her behind her back.

Facing the gazes of the crowd from time to time, Huang Li felt that they were mocking her, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

It should be Huang Li's day to be proud and glorious today. Her son-in-law is a fourth-level fitter. Why should Jiang Cui be so proud?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, especially when she could vaguely hear someone in the crowd saying that her daughter's marriage was not as good as the Su family's daughter's.

This one sentence completely ignited Huang Li's remaining sanity.

Her mind suddenly buzzed and she immediately caught up with Jiang Cui in three or two steps: "Jiang Cui, you are so busy looking at other things, why don't you look at your son-in-law?"

"Your son-in-law looks familiar to me, but I don't know if he looks familiar to you!"

When people are angry, their mouths speak faster than their brains. Huang Li spoke without considering the consequences at all.

Su Lixuan was surprised at her self-righteousness and subconsciously looked at Ye Wei. She saw that Ye Wei's face, which was already pale, turned even paler after hearing what Huang Li said.

Su Lixuan chuckled, it’s okay, at least there is someone who knows how to save face.

After all, why Huang Li felt that Lin Zhan looked familiar, others didn’t know, could it be that Huang Li and her daughter didn’t know the reason in their minds?

She didn't choose to speak out now when so many people were around. She was already a kind-hearted person and didn't bother to bring up the past. After all, it was obvious that she was the one who had benefited from the marriage exchange all along.

But if this dance happened in front of her... well, she wouldn't tolerate it.

Glancing at Ye Wei, Su Lixuan stopped Jiang Cui who was about to speak, and said to Ye Wei with a warning smile, "Sister Ye Wei, I think Aunt Huang's mental state seems a little off. She's even started to talk nonsense. What do you think?"

Ye Wei was stunned. After all, she knew more about the matter than Huang Li. If the matter was exposed, whose family would be embarrassed?

He stepped forward and held Huang Li. She smiled bitterly and lowered her head: "Yes, my mother is angry with me. She is angry that I didn't bring her son-in-law back today. She is so angry that she is confused. Aunt Jiang, please don't mind it."

Huang Li didn't expect her daughter to be so bad.

He broke free from his daughter's hand and angrily said, "You are the one who is confused! Her son-in-law Jiang Cui is a second-rate person. What can't you let me say?!"

Huang Li glanced at Lin Zhan with disdain on her face: "Don't look at the Su family's son-in-law who looks like a decent guy. I tell you, he is just a scoundrel!"

"My son-in-law is different. He's a level 4 fitter. Otherwise, what did you just hear? My daughter said my son-in-law had a temporary job transfer today. He has something important to do and is busy, so he can't come."

"Unlike some people who are just idlers all day long, they don't have time to accompany their wives back home."
