"What's so absurd? How is it absurd? I'm doing you a favor by letting my son marry Shen Wan. Do you really think your family is some kind of hot commodity, with everyone vying to become in-laws with you? Don't dream. If that were the case, she would have been married off long ago. Why would she be waiting until now?"
Zhao Lan didn't take the mother and daughter seriously at all. In her opinion, the two of them were just pretending to be popular. Only she knew what they were really like.
"real..."
Seeing that her elder sister didn't believe her, Zhao Meiyun became anxious. On one hand, she was afraid that if Zhao Lan found out about the man's family's identity, she would cause trouble. By then, it would be too late to regret it.
On the other hand, there was the fear that she would force her way in. Given her unreasonable nature, she could possibly tie Shen Wan up and take her son to the bridal chamber. Either way, it was terrifying.
"Whether it's true or not, here's the thing. Your family ruined my son's marriage, so you have to compensate us with a wife. Either give us money, or give Chen Wan to Lai'er."
Zhao Lan was being unreasonable and domineering. As she spoke, she started to lie down and roll around on the ground, which frightened the siblings, Chen Suisui and Chen Niannian, so much that they hid in their parents' bedroom, leaving the door ajar and only peeking out with half their heads, keeping a close watch on what was happening outside.
"If you want money, go earn it yourself. If you want a wife, find a matchmaker to arrange a marriage. As for whether you can get one, that depends on whether the price you offer is right."
Also, if you really can't afford to marry her, then a ghost marriage is an option. But I seem to remember that ghost marriages are more expensive than weddings for the living, so I guess your family can't afford it.
Poor Wang Lai! Even in life, his own mother couldn't find him a wife. On the day he died, he couldn't even be matched with someone for a ghost marriage. How pitiful!
Jiang Yu, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, finally couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed open the door and looked arrogantly at the old lady who had tried to extort money from her last time by breaking her leg.
"You damned woman, who gave you the right to speak here? You even dared to curse my son to die. Today I'll make sure you die right here."
When Zhao Lan saw that the person who came was Jiang Yu, she was already angry. After hearing a bunch of unpleasant things Jiang Yu said, she became even more agitated. She made a move to get up and hit Jiang Yu, but Zhao Meiyun stopped her in a flash.
Sometimes, she even felt that her daughter-in-law was right. Although the words weren't very pleasant, they were ultimately useful.
"It's hard to say whether you'll live or die. If you keep causing trouble at our house, I'll ask the police to take you away again. Not only will I ask you to leave, but I'll also send your precious son away with you."
In that case, you won't need to worry about getting married, because you'll be spending the rest of your lives in prison. Not only will you have no problem with food and drink, but you'll also have ample medical care.
Jiang Yu, wanting to be a good Samaritan to the end, decided to lend a hand since the person involved couldn't solve the problem. After all, they were relatives, and no reward was needed.
"You...you..."
Zhao Lan nearly choked on her breath. Zhao Meiyun, worried that her death in her own home might cause trouble, was about to go check on her when her daughter stopped her.
Shen Wan shook her head firmly, communicating with her eyes that they should stop sympathizing with this aunt, otherwise it would be a huge problem that she could never get rid of for the rest of her life.
'Whoosh~'
Jiang Yu picked up the half-full glass of water from the table and splashed it at Zhao Lan. Worried about getting her beloved sofa wet, she deliberately found an open space.
'Pah!'
Zhao Lan choked on the water and sat up. Her feigned unconsciousness was exposed, and fearing further retaliation from Jiang Yu, she fled in panic.
To the family in the house, she was a plague. They wouldn't be so polite as to see her off after she left, only to bring the trouble back later.
"Mom, I scared you."
Seeing Zhao Meiyun's awkward posture, Jiang Yu felt a little embarrassed. Her cheeks flushed, and her voice softened.
"No, no, I didn't make you angry. Your aunt has always been like that since she was young, always thinking only of herself and not caring about others. She's almost in her coffin, and she's getting more and more outrageous. You did the right thing, you showed her what's what, so she won't dare to bully us anymore."
Zhao Meiyun calmed herself down and turned to comfort Jiang Yu.
"Oh right, I was so angry that I forgot the most important thing. How is An'an? Is she feeling better?"
Last night, when Li Xianxue brought Shen Wan back, he briefly explained the situation to her. Shen An'an has woken up, but she is still very weak. The doctor said that they need to observe her for a while before they can draw a conclusion.
Shen Ying and Jiang Yu told them to take the child home to rest, and that the two of them would take care of Shen An'an together at the hospital.
Upon seeing Jiang Yu, I couldn't help but think of my little grandson suffering in the hospital.
Of course, she spent the whole night wondering how her child had been poisoned. Saccharin and eggs had never been given to Shen An'an at the same time, because when she was little, there were cases of people dying from eating certain foods in the next village.
Therefore, we attach great importance to this matter.
Shen Wan didn't specifically tell her that this matter stemmed from the mysterious woman, Bai Ling, who had suddenly visited yesterday. Because telling her would inevitably bring up the reasons for the recent strained relationship between her second brother and sister-in-law, and even reveal the fact that they had almost divorced.
Zhao Meiyun is getting old and can't handle stress. She tries her best not to tell younger generations anything that she can keep from them.
"I'm much better now. The doctor said I can eat tonight and can be discharged after two more days of rest."
Jiang Yu told the truth, offering some comfort to the other party. Upon learning that Zhao Meiyun was going to the hospital to see her child, she quickly recounted her encounter with Shen Ci on the way.
This afternoon, the oil shop wasn't busy, so he planned to bring Shi Shumei and Shi Yangyang home for a visit. After so many years away, Zhao Meiyun, as their mother, would always be busy at home.
"Okay... I'll go see my grandson again tomorrow."
Hearing that her eldest son was coming home and that her grandson was alright, Zhao Meiyun burst into tears, unable to hold back her tears as she raised her sleeve to wipe them away.
"You don't need to bother, just stay home and take care of Sui Sui and Nian Nian. Shen Ying and I will take care of things at the hospital."
Jiang Yu refused her request without any room for negotiation. Shen Wan, who was standing to the side, knew that her sister-in-law was worried about her mother, so she didn't say anything.
Jiang Yu rushed back to her bedroom to gather some clothes and hurried back to the hospital. She didn't even have time to linger at home for a few more seconds.
......
Some are happy, some are sad.
Meanwhile, inside the Bai family villa, a scene was unfolding where Yin Yali and Deng Wei were plotting to send Bai Xiuye away.
Bai Qin returned home early the next morning. In his opinion, the matter of getting a paternity test done for his biological father and Jiang Yu could not be delayed.
So, taking advantage of the weekend when no one was home, he secretly sneaked into the villa's courtyard and searched Bai Xiuye's room.
Without finding any hair, he cursed under his breath:
This room is so clean!
Then, I went to the bathroom and found my toothbrush.
