Actually, 007 hadn't left yet; he wanted to stay and hear what kind of advice Granny Yang would give Granny Tian.
“Aunt, Xue Mei has been brainwashed by the Jingchuan family. She won’t listen to you anymore.”
Granny Tian gazed resentfully into the distance. During the few days that Shen Yunsheng had stayed at her house, she had felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. That girl was not only quick-witted but also brave and resourceful.
Worried that Shen Yunsheng would return, Granny Yang didn't dare to speak loudly. She looked up at the courtyard and then lowered her voice, saying, "Xiao Tian, this matter needs to be discussed carefully. During this time, you should all restrain yourselves and avoid causing trouble."
Granny Tian sighed softly. Now that they were a widow and her son, they dared not cause any trouble. Her main concern was that her son would become all alone. With a child by his side, he would have someone to take care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days.
"Auntie, we're entrusting the children's affairs to you. We're not greedy; we'll be content if we can get custody of one of the children back."
Granny Tian excitedly grabbed Granny Yang's hand. Although the Meng family did not have a vast fortune to inherit, they were still city dwellers. As long as her granddaughter was willing to come back, she would do her best to raise her.
"Okay, I'll try my best." Although Granny Yang said this, she wasn't sure herself.
When Shen Yunsheng suddenly returned, Granny Yang was startled. "You... why haven't you left yet?"
Shen Yunsheng smiled and said, "Grandma, I think you're determined to be the middleman. I advise you to mind your own business and avoid getting yourself into trouble."
"Hmph, I just wanted to comfort Xiaotian. Besides, even if your eldest sister is divorced, the Xiao family and the Meng family are still relatives," Granny Yang explained righteously.
She and Granny Tian's mother were cousins. According to seniority, Granny Tian should call her aunt. This was common knowledge, and that lowly woman had no right to criticize her.
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "You'd better just offer some comfort. If you dare to collude with her, I will absolutely not let you off the hook."
Granny Tian smiled apologetically, "Jingchuan's family, you can rest assured. From now on, I will be a good grandmother and take good care of Ayao and Xiaoyu."
"I hope you keep your word." After saying this, Shen Yunsheng went straight to the guest room and took away the wooden doll that Xiaoyu had left behind.
When Granny Yang and Granny Tian saw Shen Yunsheng leave the Meng family compound, they exchanged a glance, both seeing scheming in each other's eyes.
"Auntie, what should we do next?" Granny Tian asked anxiously.
After a moment of contemplation, Granny Yang said, "Since the soft approach doesn't work, we'll have to resort to the hard one."
Granny Tian was overjoyed and quickly asked, "What brilliant idea do you have, Aunt?"
Granny Yang whispered a few words in Granny Tian's ear, and Granny Tian nodded repeatedly after hearing them.
"Xiao Tian, don't worry. In less than a month, Xue Mei will leave the Xiao family on her own. Then you can bring her back." Granny Yang patted Granny Tian's shoulder with a smile and made a confident promise.
"Auntie! I'll leave this matter to you!" Granny Tian bowed deeply to Granny Yang.
She knew in her heart that as long as the money was in place, Granny Yang would definitely help.
Granny Yang and Granny Tian began to put their plan into action.
After leaving the Meng family compound, Granny Yang went straight to Yunke Ferry.
Yunke Ferry
Xiao Jingchuan had prepared the meal long ago, but when he saw that his wife had not returned for a long time, he went out to check on her.
Mrs. Luo was worried, so she went with her son.
"Chuan'er, I want to transfer your eldest sister's household registration back. When you have time, have a good talk with your father and try to persuade him for me." Luo Shi only mentioned this to her son after leaving Yunke Ferry.
Xiao Jingchuan was somewhat surprised, "Mother, why do we suddenly want to change our household registration?"
Mrs. Luo sighed, "I really couldn't bear to see your eldest sister suffer so much injustice in the Meng family. Now that she's divorced, I want her household registration to be transferred back."
"But...would Father agree to this?" Xiao Jingchuan knew his father's temper and was afraid he wouldn't agree easily.
"That's why I asked you to try and persuade him." Luo held her son's hand and said earnestly, "Your father loves you the most, so he'll listen to you to some extent."
Xiao Jingchuan nodded. "Okay, I'll try my best."
Mrs. Luo smiled with satisfaction. "Okay, I'll leave this to you. By the way, when your wife comes back, take her shopping and buy her a couple of new outfits to treat her."
After Xiao Jingchuan agreed, Luo took out ten taels of silver from her person and handed it to her son with a smile.
Meanwhile, Granny Yang had caught up with Shen Yunsheng. Seeing that Shen Yunsheng was not speaking, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
“Jingchuan’s family, please don’t be angry anymore. What I said at the Meng family compound before was mainly to appease Granny Tian.”
"Why should I believe you?" Shen Yunsheng stopped and looked at Granny Yang expressionlessly.
Granny Yang gave a sheepish smile. "I swear to God, if I ever intended to harm you, may I die a horrible death."
Shen Yunsheng scoffed, "You think I'll believe you just because you swear an oath?"
"Then what will it take for you to believe me?" Granny Yang asked helplessly.
Shen Yunsheng thought for a moment, "Unless you tell me your true purpose."
After hesitating for a moment, Granny Yang casually made up a story, "The reason I helped Granny Tian was mainly to calm her down."
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "So you're still doing this for my eldest sister. How thoughtful of you."
Granny Yang hurriedly explained, "I... I only resorted to this because I was worried about Xuemei."
Shen Yunsheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Since you are doing this for the sake of our eldest sister, then you should help us deal with Granny Tian."
