Chapter 471: Daughter who married into a wealthy family
Chapter 471 The daughter who married into a wealthy family
He remembered that Grandma Ye in the countryside had loved Xiao Ling since she was a child. When he heard that she had given birth to a son, he had long wanted to see her. However, because she couldn't contact Xiao Ling and heard in the news that she had a difficult time giving birth, she had been taking care of herself, so she didn't add any trouble.
So the couple called their hometown in the countryside.
When Grandma Ye heard their invitation, she became excited and asked, "Is Xiao Ling's health better and can we receive guests? Will it be inconvenient for us to go there?"
Father Ye hesitated: "Actually, we haven't met Xiaoling yet. We don't know how she is doing recently. I just thought that she has always been very filial to you. Maybe she can let us meet her once you go." …”
Aunt Liu heard that something was getting more and more wrong as he talked, and she quickly grabbed the phone: "Mom, don't listen to Lao Ye's nonsense. We have already said hello to Xiao Ling, so feel free to come and you will definitely see her."
Although Grandma Ye can't see, her mind is very clear. She heard the contradiction in their words and couldn't help but worry about Xiao Ling's condition. Why, even her mother's family can't see her? Is she okay at her husband's house? Is she still weak? How is the child? Is there any hidden secret in the middle?
It seems that these problems can only be clarified by going there in person.
So Grandma Ye asked people to pack their luggage overnight and go into the city.
On this day, Zhou’s mother went out to buy groceries and met Aunt Liu again.
Behind Aunt Liu, there was a timid middle-aged man supporting a blind old woman.
Zhou’s mother frowned, remembering that Madam had told her not to get involved with the Ye family, so she took a step around, wanting to turn a blind eye and walk away. Unexpectedly, Aunt Liu refused to let her go and stopped her.
Aunt Liu said with a smile: "Hey, Zhou Ma, why don't you recognize me after not seeing me for a few days?"
Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Zhou's mother had to say: "Isn't this Aunt Liu? What's the matter?"
"It's really something," Aunt Liu said, "Come, let's all get to know each other, Mother Zhou, this is our old lady, Xiao Ling's grandmother. The old lady wants to see her great-grandson, Mother Zhou, you Just for convenience, go and talk to Xiao Ling."
Zhou Ma Wen Fengjing said: "Madam, I told you last time that if I don't see you, I will send money to the Ye family on time."
Grandma Ye was clear in her heart. She saw that Zhou Ma's tone was quite respectful to Xiao Ling, but she was very disdainful towards Aunt Liu, so she understood - Aunt Liu must have been blackmailing Xiao Ling's money every two days, so Xiao Ling didn't see anyone. .
Wealth attracts people's attention. Since Xiao Ling has paid regularly, there is nothing wrong with avoiding it.
After all, Xiao Ling and her incompetent parents have not been close since childhood. When she was a child, Aunt Liu often bullied her. It was common for her not to have enough to eat or wear, and to be beaten and scolded at every turn. She had been living a very hard life at home, but now that she was able to send money regularly, she had not forgotten her roots and was extremely benevolent.
Grandma Ye scolded Father Ye and Aunt Liu in her heart for not living up to expectations and being embarrassed.
However, she really wanted to see her granddaughter and great-grandson, so she took a few steps forward and politely said to Zhou's mother: "Sister, please do me a favor and go back and tell your wife that I am here. . She was brought up by me. She has been close to my grandmother since she was a child. She would be willing to meet her if she knew I would come. "
Zhou’s mother hesitated for a moment when she saw that the blind old lady spoke clearly and logically and did not look like the kind of person who was messy. The last time Aunt Liu came to look for her, she really didn't see this old lady. Maybe she really wanted to meet her. So she agreed to report it again.
Zhou's mother bought groceries and returned to the villa.
She found Xia Ling and told her about Grandma Ye. Xia Ling didn't expect that it was Grandma Ye who came. I haven’t seen Grandma Ye since we parted ways in the countryside two years ago, and I still really miss her. In the past two years, too many things have happened. Now when I think of that kind and kind old man, it feels a bit like the changes in the world.
"Then let's meet," Xia Ling said, "Grandma's legs and feet are inconvenient and her eyesight can't be used, so she asked my dad and Aunt Liu to come with her." No matter how snobbish the couple is, they are still son and daughter-in-law. In my impression, at least, Ability to maintain a superficial sense of filial piety towards elders. With them taking care of her, she felt more at ease.
Zhou’s mother responded and asked: “Madam, do you want to say hello to sir?”
If she didn't say it, Xia Ling almost forgot that although the current villa was her and Pei Ziheng's home, only Pei Ziheng was the real owner. No matter what she wanted to do, she had to go through him. allow. So, Xia Ling said, "I will tell Pei Ziheng."
At dinner, she indeed told Pei Ziheng about the visitor at home.
Pei Ziheng was not very happy: "It's not your real family, what's there to socialize with?"
“It’s not about socializing,” Xia Ling said, “I miss grandma.”
Pei Ziheng glanced at her in surprise. It was rare to hear that she missed someone. It seemed that the old lady held a lot of weight in her heart. She has always been a person who values family affection, which can be seen from her previous attitude towards Xia Yu. Now, since she likes it, let's meet him.
So Pei Ziheng agreed to entertain her family and her family at home.
However, he himself was not interested in this matter: "Pick a time when I'm not at home."
Xia Ling knew that he didn't like to make noise, so she agreed.
Afterwards, Zhou's mother learned about this arrangement, but she didn't agree with it. She went to Pei Ziheng privately and said, "Sir, if you avoid seeing Madam's mother-in-law's family for the first time, they will think you don't show respect to Madam. "
Pei Ziheng said calmly: "That's nonsense." The group of people came to see the baby, and they were not his son. Do they need him to pretend that the family of three is happy? What a joke.
So, this topic was stopped.
Choosing a day with good weather, Xia Ling asked Zhou’s mother to invite the Ye family to come.
As expected, the Ye family came, all dressed in their best clothes. Grandma Ye was wearing a Su Qing old cotton tunic with floral buttons, and Father Ye was wearing a suit—it is said that suits are the most distinguishing clothing among men. Sure enough, this kind of clothing was well-dressed and handsome when worn on people like Pei Ziheng and Li Lei. However, when worn on Father Ye, it couldn't show off his imposing manner and only looked timid and funny.
But this is all good for him.
The most exaggerated one is Aunt Liu, who has permed her hair and wears a printed coat and a long woolen skirt of the same color. She is covered in gold and silver. She wants to wear all the valuable things in the house.
Stepping into such a luxurious villa for the first time, Aunt Liu was as excited as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She looked around and exclaimed from time to time: "Wow, the door is actually made of relief, it must be worth a lot of money, right?" What kind of wood is that cabinet over there made of? It’s also very expensive, right?…”
