Quan Peilan, who returned to her family wearing a skirt made of fine material, looked like a rich flower that fell into a golden hole. Her facial features were pretty, and her fair skin seemed to be glowing red.
The gold earrings on her ears shone brightly in the sunlight, and when she raised her hand, the gold bracelet on her wrist was revealed.
These things are not seen by ordinary people.
Nowadays, if a family can afford a pair of gold earrings for marriage, they are considered to be a wealthy family, not to mention such a big gold bracelet.
Although her life in her husband's family was not very satisfactory, Quan Peilan's financial conditions were indeed unmatched by any other girl in Huaihe Village.
Of course, the town official’s family didn’t actually have much money, and they only received a little salary subsidy every month. However, Quan Peilan’s mother-in-law’s family was rich and had caught up with the tide of the times, so now the mother-in-law had the final say in everything in the family.
Quan Peilan only has endless money, but nothing else.
Quan Peilan's son is five years old this year, but his son is not close to Quan Peilan.
This time when she returned home, not only Quan Peilan's husband, but even her son didn't come with her.
Seeing her daughter coming back alone again, Maosheng's mother couldn't help but sigh.
Unless they take the initiative to go there to see their grandson, they will not see him more than twice a year. That is, the son-in-law and grandson will come with them before the Chinese New Year.
After all, they are all from the town and look down on their family.
Maosheng's mother sighed and then forced a smile: "Pei Lan is back, come on, why didn't you come earlier? We just finished lunch."
Quan Peilan glanced at her mother and said, "It's okay, I've already finished my meal."
Besides, the food at her husband's house is definitely better than at her parents' house. Quan Peilan never eats here when she comes here.
How could Maosheng's mother not know what her daughter was thinking? However, it was normal to be dazzled by a good place, not to mention that Quan Peilan was only eighteen years old when she got married.
"Then go sit inside."
Although Maosheng's mother didn't care about these things with her daughter, she naturally wouldn't be very enthusiastic either.
This girl can go back to her parents' home whenever she wants, and they will treat her well. As for the rest...
Just go with the flow.
However, Quan Peilan's arrival was not very coincidental. Old man Quan had said before that he wanted to give the main room to his grandson for his wedding, so he moved out all the big things on the same day. Now only some small things are left. Even Quan Maosheng's bed has been moved in, and now he just needs to tidy up a little.
Quan Yuancan and Old Man Quan were busy at the moment, but Quan Yuancan would not let his old father do any work, just hold a pillow or a thermos or something.
Seeing Quan Peilan coming, the two men glanced at each other and continued with their own work.
At this moment, Quan Peilan didn't care about his dissatisfaction with his grandfather and father's cold attitude. He was just wondering what the two were doing.
Before he could ask, Quan Peilan suddenly thought of something and his expression changed:
"Is this hall going to be used as a wedding room for my eldest brother?"
Hearing this, Maosheng's mother nodded immediately: "Yes, your grandfather thought this house would be more suitable for your eldest brother to use as a wedding house. No matter how hard we try to persuade him, he insisted on changing it!"
Old Man Quan came over and said, "Why would an old man like me live in such a big house? It's perfect for Maosheng!"
Maosheng's mother smiled helplessly.
There's really no way to go against this old man's wishes.
Quan Peilan's face looked a little unhappy at this moment. She frowned and sounded a little dissatisfied: "Mom, how come you didn't tell me about such a big thing as my eldest brother's marriage? I only found out about it after hearing other people mention it."
Quan Peilan is now a small clerk in the town committee. Two days ago, he met someone from the village committee of Huaihe Village who was doing some business. After a few casual words, he found out that his family had arranged a blind date for his eldest brother, and the girl was Liang Sanni from the Liang family.
Quan Peilan hurried over after hearing this.
"It's not too late yet," Maosheng's mother said with a smile, "Besides, you already know it now. You're just waiting to drink at your eldest brother's wedding before the New Year!"
Maosheng's mother is really in high spirits now. Her son's failure to get married has always been a thorn in her heart. Now that he has found such a good marriage partner, she is so happy that she can even walk.
But when he heard his mother's festive words, Quan Peilan frowned.
"Mom, I don't think this marriage is suitable."
As soon as these words came out, not only Maosheng's mother, but also Quan Yuanshen and Old Man Quan's expressions changed instantly.
Quan Yuancan said calmly, "That's your brother's business. As his younger sister, you don't need to worry about it. Your elder brother likes the girl from the Liang family, and we all think she's a good match."
Maosheng's mother also nodded: "Yes, we think it's good."
There was dissatisfaction in Quan Peilan's eyes.
"Dad, Mom, that's not the way to say it. I'm Big Brother's only sister. Don't I have any right to participate in the selection of the future Big Sister-in-law?"
Old Man Quan said bluntly, "Why do you, as a younger sister, interfere in your elder brother's marriage? Besides, we all like the Liang family's daughter. There's nothing to be dissatisfied with."
In the past, Old Man Quan loved his little granddaughter very much. Although she was a little spoiled when she was young, she looked lovable, after all, she was a girl.
But ever since she married into the family of a high-ranking official in town, this granddaughter... is almost non-existent.
I only come back a few times a year, and even when I do, I am mostly alone.
If someone didn't know this, they would think that his granddaughter was a widow living alone.
It’s the same as if that grandson-in-law didn’t exist.
This affection gradually disappeared.
Hearing his grandfather's words, Quan Peilan certainly didn't dare to refute him forcefully. Although his tone softened, the meaning of his words remained unchanged:
"I only have this one brother. I was hoping he could marry a girl from the town so I could have someone to rely on. How could someone from the Liang family possibly be worthy of my brother?"
"What nonsense! We know the Liang family well, and we can barely be considered a good match. If we really want to argue, it's your brother who's not worthy of the girl from the Liang family," Maosheng's mother said bluntly, walking over and closing the courtyard door. "Your words are only heard by us at home, but please don't tell anyone else! We don't have the face to do that!"
The rest of the family never thought that Liang Sanni was not worthy of their Quan Maosheng. You know, Liang Sanni is so beautiful and capable that it is rare to find one in the nearby villages.
It was not easy for Liang Sanni to like their child.
If Quan Peilan's words accidentally get to the Liang family... then it wouldn't be a marriage but an enmity!
