Xu Ruantang: "......."
He cleared his throat and started yelling at her?
What a thoughtful and considerate white lotus flower.
Chen Zheng hadn't said a word. He came along today because he was afraid his grandmother might do something irreversible, so he came to keep an eye on her for Chen Ji.
He knew Chen Ji wasn't there before he arrived; Chen Zheng knew he was away on official business.
Chen Ji's relationship with his family is already very strained. If his grandmother does anything else, it will be truly irreparable.
"Grandma," Chen Zheng began, but before he could finish his sentence, the old lady stopped him with a look.
The old lady looked at Xu Ruantang and asked, "Where is the child?"
Xu Ruantang answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, "At Aunt Liu's house next door."
"You don't watch it yourself, but you let someone else watch it?"
The old lady's tone remained unfriendly.
Xu Ruantang: "Yes, my godmother is looking after the child. I have something to do this afternoon and need to go out."
She could already imagine what awaited her after saying those words.
It's nothing more than the argument that a woman, after getting married, doesn't stay home to be a wife and mother, blah blah blah.
If Chen Ji's grandmother says that, then she... has no choice but to bear it!
She estimated that she would have to use all her strength to hold back her anger today, waiting for Chen Ji to come back so she could unleash it on him.
After all, the old lady looked quite old. If she really argued with her and got into a serious accident, it would really be a loss for her.
Although she might tolerate the uterine fibroids and the breast hyperplasia, she could vent her frustrations on Chen Ji! After venting, she could ask for some compensation.
After all, no one in the workplace is immune to being mistreated; you have to put up with it even if you're a loser.
"Come sit here."
The old lady spoke, and Xu Ruantang was stunned.
Why isn't this old lady following the script?!
Li Shuhe was also worried for Xu Ruantang. She was still hesitating whether to help her heroine sister when things took an unexpected turn.
Is this old lady trying to get her to sit down so she can slap her from close range?
"Grandma, Comrade Xu definitely didn't do it on purpose. She must have really had something to do, which is why she left the child out. Brother Chen isn't home and can't help her, so please don't blame her."
Cheng Dan was adding fuel to the fire, saying things that were incredibly low-level.
The type of character who wouldn't survive more than ten minutes in a palace intrigue drama.
The old lady looked up, glanced at Cheng Dan, and said, "Xiao Cheng, why aren't you home yet? We'd like to have a chat as a family. You should go back to your work."
A hint of embarrassment flashed in Cheng Dan's eyes. "Grandma, I'm fine, I'm not busy."
She didn't want to leave yet; she hadn't seen Xu Ruantang get her comeuppance! Thinking of how Xu Ruantang had hidden in Brother Chen's arms last time, Cheng Dan felt a pang of sadness.
With Brother Chen away on business, Xu Ruantang has lost her backer. Let's see how she can still be so arrogant now!
Xu Ruantang sat down next to the old lady.
The old lady glanced at her again, her brows furrowing slightly. "Why are you so thin? Doesn't your family feed you?"
Xu Ruantang was speechless. Every word the old lady said hit the nail on the head. Wasn't the original owner starving at home?
She has been with Chen Ji for less than a month, and she is already much better off than before.
The old lady didn't expect her to answer and continued, "You said you had something to do this afternoon, what is it?"
Xu Ruantang didn't say anything, went straight into the kitchen, and came out to put the styrofoam box on the table.
She turned and went into the kitchen. When she came out, she was carrying a plate of small bread rolls and mung bean cakes. After putting them down, she said, "I'm selling these things."
Everyone was bewildered by her actions just now. Now, seeing the pastries in front of them, some were shocked, some were disdainful, and some were even swallowing their saliva as they looked at the pastries.
The one swallowing hard was naturally Li Shuhe.
She could smell the aroma. The little breads made by Heroine looked fluffy and soft, and as soon as they were served, they emitted a fragrance of honey and sesame, with a sweet smell that filled the whole house.
"Sister-in-law, you have this skill too?"
Tang Wan spoke first, picking up a small bread roll from the table and taking a small bite, chewing it slowly and deliberately.
"Grandma, try this! Your sister-in-law's pastries are delicious!" Tang Wan wasn't exaggerating to help Xu Ruantang; the pastries she made really were delicious.
The old lady remained silent, her face growing even darker, and she raised her hand and tapped the table a few times.
These few taps were quite forceful, almost causing the plate to fall off. Xu Ruantang quietly moved it further inside.
She felt nothing. After all, the old lady wasn't a monster. Once she finished this charade, she could be free.
"That brat!" The old lady's eyes were blazing, her voice filled with anger.
Xu Ruantang was on guard at all times, afraid that she would be slapped in the face at any moment. She could accept being scolded, but she couldn't accept being hit.
That's something else...
Nothing else will do! There's a limit to earning a pittance. Even working people have labor laws protecting them, but she doesn't.
The next second, the old lady suddenly reached out and grabbed Xu Ruantang's hand, holding it tightly and asking angrily, "That brat Chen Ji, doesn't he give you any money to spend?!"
Xu Ruantang was startled by this sudden change. How could people here change their expressions so quickly, like flipping through a book? Shouldn't she be the older one? She couldn't process it!
Seeing that she didn't speak, the old lady assumed she had agreed, and in a fit of anger, she stood up abruptly, "Fine! Fine! That brat, just wait until he comes back! He can stay away from home, he can throw tantrums at home, but who taught him to treat his wife like this!"
Not to mention Xu Ruantang, everyone present, including Chen Zheng, was surprised that Grandma changed her attitude so quickly.
Cheng Dan was completely taken aback. When she finally came to her senses, her face turned chameleon-like again.
