Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Be Careful What You Say Chapter 402: Chapter 402: Be Careful What You Say “Gran, I think this marriage proposal can’t be discussed. Even if Guman Ya is as good as can be, with parents like these, whoever marries him will not live happily. Best to let them go.”
She looked to her own grandmother and suggested.
Guman’s mother was taken aback by her words.
“Let it go? How can we just let it go? Auntie Qiubo, we had an agreement, you can’t just go back on your word.”
She was counting on having Guman move into the old house. If the marriage proposal falls through, she’d still have to feed him at home. With her blockheaded son’s appetite, who else could afford to keep him?
“If you don’t want me to regret it, then shut your mouth. If you dare to mention Sangsang again, we’ll be at odds!” Lu Qiubo’s face grew dark as she retorted sharply.
Ever since this woman stepped into the house, she hadn’t stopped talking. Not only did she have no business in it, even Ya Guihua, the matchmaker, didn’t have a say.
Could someone really behave ?
“Gran, look at this auntie. Even if Guman really separates from his family and leads a life on his own, could he possibly spend the money he earns all by himself?”
Lin Caisang reminded Lu Qiubo.
“Relying on her glib tongue, as if she could talk a dead man back to life, Guman wouldn’t have any good things left. She would make sure to take them all. What would be left for Guman and He’er? Not enough to fill their bellies, right?”
Hearing her granddaughter’s words, Lu Qiubo hesitated.
She felt something had been wrong, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it. That was why she had decided to call Sangsang back and ask for her opinion.
Now that Sangsang pointed it out, she had realized what it was all about.
“Sangsang is right. We can’t just agree to this marriage proposal so hastily. Your family hasn’t sorted out its own matters yet. I can’t let my granddaughter marry into your family and suffer.”
She looked at Guman’s mother sternly and said.
Upon hearing that Lu Qiubo was backing out of the deal, Guman’s mother was immediately disgruntled.
“Aunt Qiubo, didn’t we just agree? This marriage was already confirmed. You… ”
“Just now, our family only listened to what you said, did we say anything?” Lu Qiubo countered her argument.
“Furthermore, what agreement did you make with us? How was the marriage confirmed? What did your family offer as a dowry? I haven’t seen anything.”
Guman’s mother was utterly infuriated.
“Sangsang, there’s a saying: better to tear down ten temples than ruin a marriage. What do you expect me to do about it now that you’ve messed it up?”
She looked at Lin Caisang in reproach.
“That would be your problem.”
Lin Caisang lifted her brows nonchalantly.
“You… Sangsang, you can eat however you want, but you mustn’t speak carelessly. How can you… ”
“Auntie, so you do know that one shouldn’t speak carelessly.” Smiling, Lin Caisang looked straight at her.
Finally, Guman’s mother understood.
So, Lin Caisang took such pleasure in kicking her while she was down, just because she said something implying interest in her. Is that why she was so upset?
“Sangsang, auntie was just complimenting you. You mustn’t… ”
“Auntie, I don’t need your compliments. It’s enough for me to know my own worth. As for others, I can’t bear to hear them praising me!”
