Shen Yunsheng and his wife secretly rejoiced. They couldn't wait for Granny Yang to continue causing trouble, and it would be best if she beat Qiu Shi to death so that Xiao Zhenzhu would hate her for the rest of her life.
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Xiao Jingchuan added fuel to the fire.
"Old lady! You really need to change your habit of hitting people. You must not push Pearl into a fire pit for the sake of that 1,200 taels of dowry."
Granny Yang was trembling with rage. Pointing at Xiao Jingchuan, she yelled, "So you've grown wings, haven't you? How dare you lecture me!"
Xiao Jingchuan retorted sharply, "I'm doing this for my elder sister and Pearl's sake! Do you really want to see them suffer?"
Passersby whispered among themselves, expressing their dissatisfaction with Granny Yang's actions.
At this moment, Xiao Wenjing arrived upon hearing the news. After understanding the situation, he sternly criticized Granny Yang: "Mother, marriage is a serious matter and cannot be taken lightly. We should listen to the children's opinions more. In my opinion, we should reconsider Pearl's marriage."
Seeing that things were not going well, Granny Yang had no choice but to change the subject.
"We'll talk about Pearl's marriage later. Let's go home first."
Qiu had never ridden an electric car before, so she was a little curious. When she saw that Shen Yunsheng and his wife were about to leave, she smiled and struck up a conversation.
"Jingchuan, can I go home with you? At this time, there probably aren't any more buses."
Xiao Jingchuan smiled slightly at Qiu Shi, "Of course, let's go to Yunke Ferry for dinner first, and then set off."
When Granny Yang heard that they were going to have dinner at Yunke Ferry, she couldn't help but mutter, "You good-for-nothing! One meal at Yunke Ferry is enough to feed our whole family for three months."
Xiao Jingchuan sneered. This old viper was really funny. He didn't spend her money when he went to Yunke Ferry for a meal, so why was she criticizing him?
Shen Yunsheng ignored Granny Yang and, together with her husband, took A Yao and Xiao Yu and headed to Yunke Ferry.
Upon arriving at Yunke Ferry, Xiao Jingchuan led everyone to a private room. When ordering, he specifically ordered some dishes that the older sister and children liked.
While waiting for the food to be served, Shen Yunsheng pulled Xiao Xuemei aside to chat about everyday things and asked her about her future plans.
Xiao Xuemei said she wanted to find some work to support herself and her child.
Shen Yunsheng didn't want her sister-in-law to work so hard, so she let her follow her. She believed that as long as her sister-in-law was willing to work hard, she would definitely be able to earn money.
Xiao Wenjing also thought his daughter-in-law's arrangements were very good. After the food was served, everyone ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Shen Yunsheng took them home on his electric scooter. Old Mrs. Yang sat in the back seat, while those who couldn't fit sat in the back.
After returning home, Shen Yunsheng tidied up her sister-in-law's room and let her sister-in-law and her two daughters stay there.
Xiao Wenjing felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden addition of three people to the household. His face was full of worry whenever he thought of what his mother had told him.
The next morning
Xiao Wenjing called Xiao Jingchuan into his room, and the father and son talked for a long time. Xiao Wenjing believed that it was not a good idea for his daughter to live with her parents for so long, and he hoped that Xiao Jingchuan could think of other ways to get his eldest daughter to move out.
"Chuan'er, I'm doing this for your own good. It's fine for your older sister to stay temporarily, but if she stays long-term, it will affect your luck. If you're too embarrassed to ask, I'll talk to her."
As Shen Yunsheng passed by her father-in-law's room, she overheard him mentioning her husband's older sister. She was puzzled, wondering why her father-in-law would suddenly say that.
My husband's older sister just came back yesterday, and my father-in-law already wants to kick her out. Isn't that pushing her to her doom?
After hesitating for a long time, Shen Yunsheng finally stopped and gently knocked on the door: "Father, may I come in?"
Xiao Wenjing's voice came from inside the room: "Come in."
Shen Yunsheng pushed open the door and went in, saying to her father-in-law, "Father, I think your worries are unnecessary. My eldest sister is doing fine living at home, and I don't want her to live outside."
Xiao Wenjing frowned: "Sheng'er, you don't understand. This fortune is no joke. Her staying here for a long time is bad for you."
Shen Yunsheng smiled and said, "Dad, I don't believe in these things. I think it's fine for her to live at home. When you have free time, you can spend time with your two granddaughters."
Xiao Wenjing sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, Sheng'er! How can a grandson from this family be the same as a grandson from another family? If you two could give me a big, fat grandson sooner, I wouldn't have to worry all the time about your eldest sister affecting your fortune."
Hearing this, Shen Yunsheng was speechless. What was all this about? Weren't his children and the other grandchildren of her father-in-law all treated equally? Why were they distinguishing between family grandchildren and illegitimate grandchildren? She really couldn't understand why her father-in-law would have such thoughts.
Xiao Jingchuan was also speechless at his father. In his previous life, his eldest sister was tortured to death by the Meng family because she had nowhere else to turn.
If even they don't care about the eldest sister, she will eventually break down.
"Father! Did the old lady say something to you?" Xiao Jingchuan suspected that his father's talk to him was at the behest of Granny Yang.
That old, wicked woman is full of tricks; she certainly won't let my eldest sister off easily.
Shen Yunsheng also suspected that her father-in-law had been brainwashed by Granny Yang.
Xiao Wenjing quickly shook his head, "This has nothing to do with your grandmother, it's my own idea."
Xiao Jingchuan frowned and said, "Father, don't worry about what the old lady says. My eldest sister is my own sister, and I can't possibly abandon her." Shen Yunsheng also chimed in, "Yes, Father, we are all family and should take care of each other. If you are worried that we can't afford to support my eldest sister, I think that's completely unnecessary."
Xiao Wenjing felt a little guilty. His mother had indeed come to see him last night, and it wasn't exactly a respectable thing for a divorced woman to go back to her parents' home.
He never said he wouldn't take care of his eldest daughter; they're overthinking it.
Just as Shen Yunsheng was about to speak, 007 suddenly interrupted her: "Master, it's bad! Xiao Xuemei is up and in the yard right now. If you keep discussing this, she'll definitely hear you!"
Shen Yunsheng was startled and quickly gave Xiao Jingchuan a meaningful look.
Xiao Jingchuan understood and said in a low voice, "Father, my eldest sister is outside. Please don't bring up this topic again, lest she overthink things."
Xiao Wenjing looked up and saw that his eldest daughter was indeed in the courtyard. He sighed and stopped talking.
Shen Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xiao Wenjing a grateful look.
Xiao Wenjing shook his head helplessly. "Fine! Since none of you are afraid, I'm too lazy to care. Anyway, I've already warned you. If something really happens, don't blame me for not telling you."
Shen Yunsheng nodded and comforted her father-in-law, "Father, don't worry, we will be careful. Besides, who knows about fortune? Maybe it doesn't even exist."
Xiao Wenjing gave her a deep look, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he held back.
Xiao Jingchuan and his wife waited for their eldest sister to return to her room before leaving their father's room.
...
Just as Shen Yunsheng was about to feed the chickens, Granny Yang walked in from outside the courtyard with a smile.
“Jingchuan’s family, you’re here just in time. I was just about to talk to you about something.”
As soon as Granny Yang stepped across the threshold, she smiled at Chen Yunsheng.
Shen Yunsheng frowned slightly. This old poisonous woman wanted to talk to her as soon as she entered the door. She must have something up her sleeve.
