Chapter 618: 176: Agreed to be together, visiting parents, guests who have come from afar! _5
Self-employed people earn their living with their own skills; they should not be underestimated.
When it came to this point, Old Lady Shangguan continued, “The last time your brother went on a mountain trip and encountered danger, it was Daya who saved him, Furong, we Shangguan family members should learn to repay kindness.”
“Repaying kindness means pushing my brother out?”, Shangguan Furong retorted.
“This is your brother’s own decision,” retorted Old Lady Shangguan.
“Mom, don’t you dislike Daya either? Why suddenly agree to this?” Shangguan Furong continued to question.
Old Lady Shangguan had never met Daya before.
But considering the big fuss back then, it would be strange if Old Lady Shangguan actually liked Daya!
She remembered a phrase that Old Lady Shangguan used to utter:
A pretty woman often makes trouble!
Old Lady Shangguan said: “Forget the past. Moreover, it’s Daya who will live with your brother, not me. Why should I step in?”
She’s already in her later years, how many more can she live? Let the young handle their own affairs!
Shangguan Furong continued, “But we can’t leave matters at that! My brother is your own son, how can you watch him sink into a quagmire! I think Daya is not a good woman! A good woman wouldn’t casually divorce her husband. And she even wants us to support her two burdens, how calculating she is!”
“And besides, nothing is as simple as it seems! When my brother went mountain traveling, how could Daya just happen to rescue him? This could be a trap set up by her!”
Shangguan Furong’s teeth itched from hatred.
She had seen too many shameless, scheming women! From Daya’s actions, it was clear to her that Daya was one of them!
Old Lady Shangguan remained calm, “Your brother isn’t a fool, he can distinguish good from bad! Don’t interfere in this matter! It will only upset your brother!”
Shangguan Dehui wasn’t a fool.
She hadn’t met Daya in person yet and couldn’t make assumptions.
Just because she disliked Daya a little, it didn’t mean she could simply speculate that Daya was a bad person.
Shangguan Furong’s face darkened, “My brother is bewitched by that woman, there’s no way he can see clearly.”
Old Lady Shangguan said, “Hold your tongue. Other families’ sisters-in-law promote harmony, but you love stirring up trouble! Can’t you behave a little? Your brother is determined to bring her over. Be careful with your words and actions then!”
The last sentence carried a hint of a warning.
“When are they coming over?” Shangguan Furong’s eyes flickered.
“Probably next Sunday.”
Shangguan Furong held onto Old Lady Shangguan’s arm, “Mom, at your age and with distinguished guests on the way, let me handle the arrangements.”
“Furong, what are you up to now?” Old Lady Shangguan looked at Shangguan Furong.
Smiling, Shangguan Furong said, “Mom, what can I do? What else can I do? I just want to receive the guests properly. We just hired some chefs from F Country recently. Let them prepare authentic dishes from F Country…”
Daya is just a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world, she probably wouldn’t even know how to use a knife and fork.
Even if Shangguan Furong doesn’t lift a finger, she can make that yokel retreat!
As long as Shangguan Furong doesn’t go too far, Old Lady Shangguan won’t intervene.
The next day, Old Lady Shangguan came for noodles as usual.
Though she was preoccupied, the noodles were still delicious.
In fact, she came not only for the noodles but also to see Ni Yang and chat with him.
She truly likes Ni Yang.
Unfortunately, Ni Yang didn’t come to the shop today.
In fact, Ni Yang hadn’t been in the shop for a long time,
When she was finished with the noodles and aimlessly walking on the street.
Just then, a bicycle pulled up next to her, “Old lady.”
“Yangyang!” Old Lady Shangguan’s face lit up, “Yangyang, where are you going?”
Ni Yang gave a slight smile, “I just came back from the bank and am going to window-shop. I plan to buy a dress for my mom.”
Since he was about to visit the Shangguan family, Ni Yang decided to buy a nice dress for Ni Cuihua.
