He smiled and said, "Auntie, no need. I'll tell you about this. It's actually about my Qiuping. His job was assigned to the capital, and his girlfriend is also from here. This time we came here to discuss the wedding between our two families, but we don't have any acquaintances here, so we thought that when we meet the in-laws, we would like to invite Auntie to come over, so that the elders are here, and the children will be happy."

"You're planning to get married, that's good, that's not a request, you have to go, what date is it?"

"The date is set for this Friday." Xu Hongmei said happily, "Auntie, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Don't be polite. It's not a big deal. OK, where are we going this Friday? I'll ask the kids to take me there. By the way, do you want to ask Xiaoling to come along? I'll ask her to take a day off."

"No need for that. Xiaoling is in school, so don't delay her studies. You can go alone. Having you here makes up for everything." Xu Wangting smiled.

Old Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "It's noon now, why don't you stay and have lunch together?"

"No, we still have things to do over there. We have to be busy with our child's wedding. We can finish it another day."

The couple didn't dare to stay for long, and left immediately after the work was done.

The nanny sent them away, and when she came back she said to Old Lady Zhu, "Auntie, are they Xiaoling's family?"

"Xiaoling's uncle and aunt."

"They are not close to Xiaoling, right?" the nanny said, "Our Niuniu is right next to them, and they didn't even ask to see Niuniu after they came over."

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "Maybe I'm too busy."

The nanny thought about it, and probably felt that she was overthinking, so she went to the kitchen without saying anything more.

When Ji Ling came back in the evening, she heard what Old Lady Zhu said.

She was surprised, "My uncle and others are here?"

Old Mrs. Zhu explained the situation. "Is your cousin getting married? He asked me for help and said he would marry his relatives."

"Isn't it time for my grandpa and his family to come over? Is he sick? I'll call home." This was the first thing Ji Ling thought of after hearing this.

Old Mrs. Zhu was also worried about this, but she didn't dare to ask too much during the day, for fear that the other party would misunderstand that she refused and didn't want to go. After hearing Xiaoling think about this, she felt relieved.

The call was answered by Xu's mother. She was very happy to hear that it was Ji Ling calling. She asked about Niu Niu and whether she would come back during the summer vacation. It was obvious that she was really happy that her granddaughter called.

After Ji Ling answered all the questions one by one, she asked about the situation at home.

"Your grandpa and I are fine, you don't have to worry. But you." Mother Xu paused, "The last time I went to your house, I heard about your situation. Your mother is confused and has treated you like this many times. Don't wrong yourself. Do whatever you want. You are already married."

"Grandma, I know." Ji Ling smiled, "You and grandpa are fine, why didn't your cousin's in-laws come?"

"Meeting the in-laws?" Xu's mother was puzzled.

"You and grandpa don't know?" Seeing that her grandma didn't know, Ji Ling couldn't understand what was going on, so she told her uncle and his family who came over during the day.

Xu's mother's face had already darkened. "I don't know. Your uncle and the others didn't tell me."

His parents were still alive, but he didn't tell them and instead ran to the capital to ask others for help.

Mother Xu only needed to think about it to know what her son and daughter-in-law were thinking.

This shows that she and the old man are not as respectable as the Zhu family.

Ji Ling also figured it out at this time. She didn't want to embarrass her grandma, "Maybe I heard it wrong. My cousin's meeting with his in-laws is so important that my uncle couldn't have not told you. I'll ask them tomorrow when I see them."

"Xiaoling, tell your in-laws that your uncle might have made a mistake. Tell them not to bother." Mother Xu couldn't afford to lose face, so she ended the matter directly. "Explain it to your in-laws."

Old Mrs. Zhu had been waiting nearby. "What did your grandma say?"

"Grandma said it was a misunderstanding, saying that maybe uncle and his family made a mistake." Ji Ling sat over and said, "Grandma, then you don't have to go. I'll talk to uncle."

"good."

Old Mrs. Zhu realized that something was wrong, but she didn't want to embarrass Xiaoling, so she didn't ask any further questions.

Ji Ling was indeed embarrassed by this matter. Even if her husband's family wouldn't say anything, she herself could not hold back her shame.

Regarding such a big matter as meeting the in-laws, my uncles and aunts didn't tell my grandparents. It's not good to not use the biological parents, but to try to climb up the social ladder.

That night, Ji Ling couldn't help but call Bei County. After her father went back, he called her several times and said that everything was fine at home and asked her not to worry. He also cared about her health. He also said that he was busy in the store and lived in the front.

He didn't say it directly, but he indirectly told his daughter that although he couldn't do anything else, he was standing up for her through other means.

So even if the call was made very late, Ji Yong would still be able to answer it.

When Ji Yong heard his daughter's voice, he was very worried, fearing that something had happened to her. After hearing his daughter's account of the whole story, Ji Yong was stunned.

Then, she felt embarrassed and annoyed, "Your uncle and his family are confused. I will call your cousin's workplace tomorrow."

"Dad, I've already turned down my in-laws' request. Just tell them directly."

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Ji Yong sighed, "Your uncle did this without even thinking about how upset your grandfather would feel after knowing it."

He had disliked his elder brother-in-law before. He was just a small leader in the design institute and looked down on others. His wife married him for a low status and his little daughter was raised in the Xu family, so he didn't care about those things.

I just never expected that this person could do such a stupid thing.

So confused.

Ji Ling didn’t know Xu Qiuping’s work phone number, but Ji Yong would definitely be able to find it.

After everything was explained, Ji Ling rested with peace of mind.

At the Xu family's side, Xu's mother didn't dare tell the old man about this, for fear that the old man would be so angry that he would vomit blood.

The old man has not yet forgiven his son for borrowing money, and now he has done something like disrespecting his biological parents. The old man knows that he will definitely sever the father-son relationship.

The next day, Ji Ling went to college. She was still worried about this matter at school and thought about calling home again at noon. As a result, Ji Ke came over at noon with red eyes.

"elder sister."

Ji Ling looked at her coldly, then followed Miao Man and the other two to the cafeteria.

Ji Ke was left standing there, her face flushed with embarrassment. She did not dare to chase after her, but chose to wait for Ji Ling at the dormitory door.

"Sister, I know I was wrong. I have something important to tell you." Ji Ke admitted his mistake in a low voice, secretly looking at Ji Ling while speaking, putting on a pitiful look.

Miao Man took a look and called Tang Meng and Li Jia to go into the dormitory first.

Ji Ke immediately said, "Sister, my cousin found me this morning and said that his marriage didn't work out and it was all your fault. He also said that if it really didn't work out, he wouldn't let our family go."
