She, Yan Erju, was fearsome indeed!
She even dared to threaten her with a knife!
If she did not teach her a lesson today, she would think she could be easily bullied.
This time, Wu Jinshu did not hold back, wresting the kitchen knife from Grandma Wu’s hand, he harshly said, "Mom! You were wrong in this matter! Erju is not to blame!"
Grandma Wu and Yan Erju were both stunned.
Calm and steady Wu Jinshu had never lost his temper before.
Wu Jinshu threw the kitchen knife into the yard, "Mom, it’s not just Erju who disagrees, I disagree too! Go and break off this engagement right now!"
Seeing Wu Jinshu supporting her, Yan Erju breathed a sigh of relief.
Grandma Wu burst into tears again, "I can’t live , I can’t live anymore, you are all forcing me to die..."
"Mom! I’m not joking with you! Yanyun is still young, she needs to study! She can’t get married this early!"
Grandma Wu wiped away her tears, "This matter cannot be called off now."
"It has to be called off regardless!" Wu Jinshu’s stance was very firm, "Otherwise, don’t blame me for not recognizing you as my mother!"
On hearing this, Grandma Wu looked at Wu Jinshu in shock, "For that foundling girl, you would disown me, your own mother?"
Was she really less important than a foundling?
Yan Erju suddenly spoke up, "Xiaoyun is not a foundling! She is my own biological daughter! You never cared for her even for a day, what right do you have to sell her off! What right!"
In Yan Erju’s heart, Wu Yanyun was her own daughter!
Grandma Wu glared at Yan Erju, "Not a foundling? If not a foundling, then did you have her with some unknown man outside? Oh, now I get it! That explains why you always protect that wild girl, you had an affair, dishonoring yourself! You shameless woman! How could our esteemed Wu Family have someone like you, bringing us disgrace!"
"What are you babbling about!" Yan Erju was angrily triggered, being an honest person she could not tolerate such baseless accusations from her mother-in-law, "I, I, I’m done arguing with you today!"
Yan Erju and Grandma Wu started physically fighting.
Wu Jinshu massaged his temples in agony.
Yan Erju was truly enraged, not holding back in her attacks, and though Grandma Wu was no pushover, she was getting on in years.
She was no match for Yan Erju.
Wu Jinshu thought it was about time and pulled them apart.
Grandma Wu sat on the ground, crying her heart out, with three scratch marks on her face from Yan Erju.
Yan Erju was not much injured, but her hair had been yanked out in clumps by Grandma Wu.
Both were in a sorry state.
After a long while, the atmosphere finally calmed down a bit, and Wu Jinshu took hold of Grandma Wu, saying, "Mom, come with me to Wu Lan’s house right now and clear up this matter!"
"It’s unfixable!" Grandma Wu pushed away Wu Jinshu’s hand, "I’ve already received three thousand yuan as a betrothal gift from Wu Lan’s brother, bought a bicycle and a sewing machine for your sister, and two thousand yuan is lost! Calling off the marriage sounds easy, do you have three thousand yuan?"
For a family like Wu Jinshu’s, three thousand yuan was an astronomical figure.
Wu Jinshu was stunned.
After that statement, Grandma Wu moved to the bed to lie down, turning her back to Wu Jinshu and Yan Erju.
"I’ve already told everyone, they are coming to our house the day after tomorrow to dine and fix the wedding date. You all have to agree whether you agree or not. Otherwise, you might as well kill me, I don’t want to live anymore!"
