After Xiang Xinrong finished speaking, Xiang Shuxue pretended to be gentle and sensible, and said in a sweet voice:
"Yes, brother-in-law! You go ahead and get busy!"
"I will definitely take good care of my sister, don't worry!"
After she finished speaking, she stepped forward again and tried to take Wanwan's hand, putting on a show of sisterly affection.
However, Xiang Wanwan didn't buy into that at all.
She took a step back and coldly stared at the three people in front of her.
"When did I give you permission to live here?"
"You're a principal and a teacher, and instead of living in the school dormitory, you want to freeload at my place?"
"Have you no shame?!"
"Xiang Xinrong, didn't you say that a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl? Then what are you doing here?"
"You think you can take back spilled water?"
Xiang Wanwan's words were harsh, and everyone present changed their expressions.
Although Lu Jingnian didn't know what had happened between them, he was certain from what he had seen that his young wife had a very bad relationship with the Xiang family.
He will definitely side with his wife.
Xiang Xinrong was furious.
"You rebellious daughter, you rebellious daughter!"
"All these years, I've really wasted my time raising you."
"If it weren't for me, would you have been able to marry into a family like the Lu family?"
"Heh, I remember my marriage to the Lu family was arranged when my mother was still alive, right? And it was also because of the Huo family. What does it have to do with you?"
"Don't try to glorify yourself!"
Xiang Wanwan retorted directly, and then gave a cold laugh.
"I am your father. If I didn't agree, would this marriage have happened?"
Xiang Xinrong had thought that when they met again, it would be a scene of fatherly love and filial piety. He never expected that his daughter would not only not welcome him, but also criticize him in front of her son-in-law.
Where does that leave him with his pride?
Lu Jingnian was the commander of the island military region, and he was quite satisfied with his son-in-law.
If something happens to him one day because of his status as a capitalist, he will have to rely entirely on his son-in-law to protect him!
Since this daughter is disobedient, it's not a bad idea to find this son-in-law a different wife.
Anyway, they are all daughters of the Xiang family, so it doesn't matter to him who marries into the Lu family.
Looking at the old man's calculating expression, Xiang Wanwan knew he was planning something big.
There's no way they'll be allowed through this gate today.
Otherwise, it won't be so easy to kick them out again in the future.
At this moment, because of the noise in her yard, many neighbors came to watch the commotion.
Seeing that a crowd had gathered, Li Jinglan's eyes darted around, she cleared her throat, and said:
"Wanwan, don't be like this. No matter what, he is still your father. Without him, where would you be?"
"Besides, Shuxue hasn't seen you for so long and misses you terribly. It would be good for the two sisters to live together and have some private conversations, wouldn't it?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of all the housework. I'll make sure you don't have to work so hard anymore."
As she spoke, her voice began to tremble with sobs. Then she wiped the corners of her eyes, which were dry, and feigned distress.
"People say it's hard to be a stepmother, but don't worry, I will take good care of you and your son-in-law."
As soon as Li Jinglan finished speaking, she attracted pointing fingers and whispers from those around her.
"So this is Comrade Xiang's biological father, stepmother, and stepsister."
"But judging from the way Comrade Xiang looked, it seemed like he didn't welcome them. I didn't expect Comrade Xiang, who usually seems so gentle and kind, to treat his family like this."
"Yes, shouldn't you be happy that your family has come looking for you? Why are you speaking so harshly to your comrade?"
"He probably has a grudge against his stepmother! But judging from the stepmother's appearance, she seems like a nice person."
······
Lu Jingnian's face darkened instantly as he listened to the crowd's discussion.
"Ladies, please be careful with your words and actions."
