Chapter 139 Wang's House 4


0

His future mother-in-law lives like an official's wife in terms of food, clothing and other expenses. Her son hasn't even become an official yet, but she has already learned the attitude of an old feudal lord.

Caiwei felt awkward before, but couldn't tell what was wrong. But after meeting Qiao Xin today, she finally understood.

People, the less they have, the more they show off!

There are only a few people in the whole court who have received second-rank imperial edicts like Qiao Xin, but she is so low-key that it is unbelievable.

But this mother-in-law, whose son had just passed the imperial examination and was not yet a real official, acted in a pretentious manner whenever she went out.

It's very disgusting!

Zhao looked at Wang Caiwei with disdain. Her forehead was slightly wet, her dress was half worn, and there was even a little dirt on her feet. She only had a shabby wooden hairpin on her head.

He is quite tall, with fair skin, but not gentle enough, and very heroic!

Then look at the Wang family, which has few descendants and is in a state of decline and ruin. My own aunt also dresses so simply and speaks in a soft voice.

Such a woman and such a family are indeed not worthy of her son Wulang.

Mrs. Zhao's tone was extremely unfriendly as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Where did you come from? Why are you still out in the limelight at this time? A woman should be demure and elegant, so that she can take care of her husband and children in the future."

No one likes to be criticized from head to toe as soon as they meet, let alone with such a arrogant attitude and tone.

Wang Caiwei had a blank expression on her face and a bad tone.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine!"

"Niannian is a filial child and very capable. She is taking care of household chores for us. It is because we, as elders, are not good enough that the child has to work so hard."

Wang Caiwei's aunt quickly added.

No matter how good your own child is, you must not let outsiders say that he or she behaves improperly or has no self-discipline, otherwise it will be extremely detrimental to Nian Nian's marriage.

Zhao had already made up her mind to break off the engagement, and was too lazy to bother with these minor details, so she just said:

I came here today to discuss a happy event with you. Our old lady has been bedridden for a few days, and no matter how many doctors she consulted, her condition has not improved.

Later, he had a strange dream. In the dream, there was Buddha's light shining everywhere and the Buddha appeared. He said that there was a little girl and he were grandparents in the previous life. Because the relationship was not over, they were entangled in karma and could not find peace.

Later, with the guidance of the Buddha, I learned that this person was actually Nian Nian.

After the old lady woke up, she went to Bao'en Temple to ask the abbot for advice. The abbot gave her clear instructions and told the old lady to quickly adopt Nian Nian as her granddaughter, putting her mind at ease.

So, Master Wang, I think the marriage between our two families cannot be finalized.

Filial piety comes first in everything. As the younger generation, how can we not care about the health of our elders? If something happens to them, no one can afford it.

Wang Caiwei laughed angrily, isn't she just trying to break off the engagement?

Why bother looking for such high-sounding reasons? It's really hard for the Zhao family. How many brain cells did they waste to find such a bizarre excuse?

I guess the whole family must have pondered this for a long time, right? Even the ancestors of the inner courtyard were brought up.

What a filial son!

If she doesn't agree, wouldn't she be considered disobedient and unfilial? If anything happens to her elders, wouldn't it be all her fault? How could she have a place in the Zhao family then?

It's really like being a whore and still wanting to maintain her chastity!

Seeing that Yang was angry and wanted to speak, Wang Caiwei held her hand, shook her head at her, and indicated that she would listen first.

Zhao continued, "We don't want this to happen either, but Nian Nian has suffered many disasters since she was a child. My younger sister passed away when she was born, and her uncle also passed away just after her coming-of-age ceremony. Now Master Wang is inexplicably seriously ill..."

Wang Yuanwai could no longer bear it and said angrily, "You are going too far. You want to break off the engagement if you want to, but you still say that you have married someone too high up and don't like our Nian Nian. What are you talking about with Nian Nian?

Could it be that we are forcing you to be so treacherous and go back on your word?

How can this be justified? Your son is a treasure, and we deserve to be trampled upon by him like this, don’t we?”

Zhao's face tightened and she said loudly: "Why is Mr. Wang angry? A forced melon is not sweet. Am I not thinking about the child?

How can it be considered as mistreating her? How many people wanted to be adopted as granddaughters by our ancestors, but they were not favored by our ancestors? "

"Puh, you talk better than you sing. You really care about the child. When Nian Nian was in trouble, why didn't you come to visit? Our two families are only one street away."

Mr. Wang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his face looked bad. Wang Caiwei hurried forward to pat his back and said softly, "Dad, don't be angry, it's not worth it!"

Normally, Yang was always kind to others and never argued with others easily, but she was unwilling to endure it any longer and started a quarrel right away.

"What kind of adopted granddaughter is she? Our Nian Nian didn't come out of nowhere. The granddaughter-in-law has become the granddaughter. The family is really calculating.

How can you be disloyal and want to cancel an engagement and still want to have a good reputation? How can this be justified in this world?

It seems that you have taken all the good things. Don’t you even realize how shameless your Zhao family is?

Our old grandfather once saved your ancestors' family. Now your face is disgusting. You are so shameless. You have completely disgraced the Zhao ancestors!"

"You are a crude and ignorant village woman, you take my kindness for granted..."

Zhao was in charge of household chores at home and her word was final.

Ever since her son became a scholar, people have always said good things about her in front of her. Now that she is being scolded so harshly and even her last fig leaf has been torn off, she naturally refuses to give in.
