Although Nan Zhi severed ties with the Nan family, the Nan family had still accepted Song Hanyan's betrothal gifts, so she was still married into the Nan family.
The Nan family members seemed still stuck in yesterday's events, and were all listless.
Zhao Hui was so angry that she lay on the bed, wailing about her lost money.
This made her seem the most unique person in the whole family.
Nanzhi finished tidying up and went to the main room. "Father and Mother, you promised to give me five taels of silver. Today is my wedding day, so I've come to collect it."
Nankai wanted to have "Do I look like I'm worth five taels of silver?" written all over his face.
"I have no money."
"How could that be? I remember my second brother still had five taels of silver left, didn't he already give it to Father and Mother?"
Shu Zhizhen raised her head, "You're dreaming. How do you know how much money my son has left? Is all of this yours?"
Nan Zhi snorted coldly: "What are you saying, Mother? Second Brother has a weak will and frequents casinos, which has disappointed you. What does that have to do with me? Did I let Second Brother gamble? Did I make Second Brother drop out of school?"
Nankai University seemed to have heard some terrible news: "Expulsion!"
It turns out that Nan Wenqing had not yet explained the matter clearly.
"You're talking nonsense!"
In the blink of an eye, Nanzhi felt a cold light graz her face and fly past, hitting the person who had just entered the room.
"Ouch!" cried the white-haired old lady who came in through the door.
Nankai suddenly stood up: "Mother, why did you come here?"
Grandma Nan: "What? It's only been a short time since we last met, and you can't stand the thought of me being alive?"
Nan Kai rushed forward to help, but Old Mrs. Nan pushed him away.
"Young master, if you want this old lady to see your father sooner, just say so. Now, let's start with the hidden weapons." The old lady threw the scissors onto the cabinet.
"Mother, how could I dare? I didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would have..."
"What, are you planning to kill them openly?"
The old lady was really something; she left Shu Zhizhen speechless.
According to the original owner's memories, the old lady of the Nan family was the only person in the entire family who cared about her.
Grandma Nan walked over to Nan Zhi and said, “Oh dear, your pretty little face is all scratched up. Today you’re getting married. Your parents are heartless. You’ve suffered so much.”
The two people standing to the side were too obedient to contradict Old Madam Nan. Nan Kai knew that if he said a word, his mother would definitely have ten words waiting for him.
Nanzhi smiled knowingly: "Grandma, it's alright."
Grandma Nan really loved this grandson, but ever since she lived with her eldest son, the two families have grown further and further apart.
Grandma Nan slowly pulled a handkerchief from her chest. It had been used for so long that the original pattern was no longer visible.
"Grandma doesn't have much, just this. She should be careful with it when she gets to her husband's family."
Nan Zhi was touched when she saw the silver money the old man handed her. Apart from Song Hanyan, this was the first time she had felt warmth in this world.
"Nanzhi, please accept this carefully."
Shu Zhizhen's eyes lit up with envy; that was an ounce of silver, and her mother had just given it to this wretched girl.
After Mother passes away, I must get the money back.
"I heard everything just now. You still owe Nanya five taels of silver. When are you going to pay it back?"
The two, each harboring their own ulterior motives, exchanged a smile and then turned to look at Old Lady Nan.
Shu Zhizhen: "Mother, this was just a joke, why did you take it seriously?"
"What joke? Don't think I don't know. Nan'er has already broken off all ties with you. You two heartless couple, don't you know what you've done wrong?"
"And you too." The old lady pointed at Shu Zhizhen, who was standing behind Nan Kai. "Nan'er is married now. If you dare to let Zhao Hui come to cause trouble again, see how I deal with you."
Old Mrs. Nan was very dissatisfied with her second daughter-in-law. Back when her second son was making a fuss about dividing the family property, it was she who secretly pushed him behind the scenes.
Don't let her quiet demeanor fool you; she's actually quite ruthless.
"Don't worry, Mother, your daughter-in-law won't do that."
After saying that, he secretly glared at his daughter.
Under Old Lady Nan's watchful gaze, the two slowly and leisurely took out five taels of silver.
Nanzhi's wedding was truly shabby. There were no wedding candies, no wedding dress, and the faded clothes she was wearing were the only ones without patches that she had found in her trunk. By the light, one could vaguely see the remaining color on the clothes.
Grandma Nan looked angrily at the two people beside her, truly wondering how she could have given birth to such a brainless son, and how this idiot had married an equally brainless wife.
"Boss."
A tall man carrying a package walked in through the door. He looked similar to Nankai University students, but his face had the honest and upright qualities of a farmer.
This is the original owner's uncle, Nan Qun, who is from the same family as the original owner's father.
Nan Qun came in, handed the package to Old Madam Nan, and then left. His niece was about to get married, and as an outsider, he could not enter.
Grandma Nan took out a red dress from the bundle; it was easy to tell that it was a wedding dress.
Shu Zhizhen: "Mother, what are you doing?"
Grandma Nan's wedding dress was not cheap. When she was young, she was a young lady from a wealthy family. At that time, her Nan family had no worries about food and clothing. However, her husband passed away, and she took on the responsibility of the Nan family on her own. In order to support her son, she sold a lot of things, but she had always been reluctant to sell this wedding dress. Now it has come in handy.
Grandma Nan has preserved the red wedding dress very well; the embroidery on it still shines after all these years.
Nanzhi could see the value of the wedding dress. "Grandma, this is unacceptable."
Grandma Nan: "What's wrong with it? There are only men in the family now, so they don't need it."
Shu Zhizhen tried her best to dissuade her: "It was my oversight not to prepare a wedding dress. Daughter-in-law will go buy one now. Mother, please put this thing down."
"Shut up!" Old Mrs. Nan glared at her. "Do you think I don't know what you're scheming for? You were the one who insisted on dividing the family property back then, and now you're eyeing what belongs to this old woman. How did the Nan family produce such a shameless person like you?"
Grandma Nan spoke without any restraint or regard for face, and Shu Zhizhen's face turned red as she was scolded.
He cursed inwardly, hoping the old woman would leave quickly.
Nan Zhi felt grateful to Grandma Nan.
A short while later, Song Hanyan came to pick up Nanzhi.
With broad shoulders and a slender build, the red clothes made him look even more robust.
Years of hunting have imbued him with a bloody aura, giving him a unique kind of coldness. However, this coldness is perceived as a murderous trait by others, making them hesitant to approach.
Grandma Nan sized up her grandson-in-law. There were many rumors about Song Hanyan in the village, and Grandma Nan was a little scared when she saw him, but she had to stand up for her granddaughter.
With trembling hands, Grandma Nan placed her granddaughter's hand in Song Hanyan's, her face cold: "Treat my granddaughter well, or I'll report her to the authorities."
She would never admit that she was afraid of her grandson-in-law.
