Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Yang Cailan saw that Shui Xian’s expression was ugly and thought that she was jealous. Yang Cailan immediately said, “Mother, you also have a long life. Everyone has a long life. Lan can’t bear for you to leave!”
Shui Xian was satisfied because she still had Lan as her daughter-in-law, but Shui Xian really did not want to serve her mother-in-law for the rest of her life.
Bai Feng, who was beside Shui Xian, rolled her eyes. Bai Feng thought, ‘She really had a big mouth and dared to say anything. However, when she turned around and thought about it, she would be happy if anyone gave her a set of gold.’
Just as the women were having a good time, Old Mr. Liu could not take it anymore and said, “What about mine?” His voice sounded a little pitiful.
Yang Cailan immediately imagined Old Mr. Liu as the old Taoist priest. She could not bear to do so. One had to know that the old Taoist priest was very good to her. For her to be able to transform, he was worried to death…In the end, she still did not succeed, but it was also because of the old Taoist priest that she had a chance of survival.
“Grandpa, what gift will you give me?” Yang Cailan asked as she was not afraid of her grandfather at all. She even reached out for a gift.
Old Mr. Liu took out the sachet he had been carrying and took out a jade pendant from it and threw it to her. He said, “You can wear it and play with it.”
Yang Cailan saw that it was another good thing and immediately beamed. She said, “Thank you, Grandpa. This is a gift from Liu Baishan and me!” She quickly entered the house and gave Old Mr. Liu a smoking pipe made of briar.
Although Old Mr. Liu had never seen briar before, he knew that it was a good thing as soon as he touched it. He said, “You have keen eyes, Lan.”
Old Mr. Liu turned his head and looked at Liu Fu with disdain. He said, “You’ve never been so sensible. Otherwise, would I have treated Dage so well? Humph!”
Liu Fu had probably never been so speechless in his life. A biological son could not compare to an adopted son just because he did not know how to say it.
Liu Baihe saw that his father was holding back his anger and immediately whispered, “Father, why are you angry with Grandpa? He was always like that…Have you seen anyone who can get something from Grandpa? Lan is still the best, so we can’t beat Grandpa, but we have Lan! In the future, Uncle Dage’s family will definitely not be able to compete with us. There’s no need to hold back because of these few words.”
Liu Fu finally understood. He may be dumb with words, but Yang Cailan was not. They were family.
Yang Cailan only wanted to pull Old Mr. Liu and Old Mrs. Liu to her side and then torture her uncle’s family. This was the only way to vent the anger of Liu Baishan’s family over the years.
During the meal, Yang Cailan stopped because she really did not know how to cook. After all, she was the incarnation of the green lotus. Plants were afraid of fire.
In the kitchen, Bai Feng was unwilling. She said to Shui Xian and Dan Ruo, who were cooking, “Mother, Lan has already married over and hasn’t even cooked a meal. If outsiders know, what would they say about our family? Won’t they say that we did not teach her well?”
Dan Ruo had a weak personality and did not dare to speak in front of the strong Bai Feng. However, Shui Xian did not dare to speak and there was also something she dared to said, “Are you going out to tell everyone about that? Otherwise, how would the people outside know?”
Bai Feng said, “Mother, I was just thinking what if…”
Shui Xian said, “If anyone finds out, it’s because you said it. Dan Ruo won’t tell, and neither will I! Lan has a good temper. Don’t bully her. If I find out, I’ll let Baihe deal with you!”
Bai Feng was speechless.
Dan Ruo also nodded, “Lan is very capable. It’s just fine if she doesn’t cook. Anyway, I know how to cook!”
‘Even the cowardly Dan Ruo spoke up for Yang Cailan today!’ This almost angered Bai Feng and she said, “We’re all daughters-in-law. When I got married, I woke up early the next morning to cook for everyone. Why doesn’t Lan need to do it?”
However, just as Bai Feng finished shouting, she saw Shui Xian’s eyes turn cold. Shui Xian said, “Since you want to argue, then let’s have a good argument. For so many years, Shan sent money home every month when he was out in the military. Didn’t you eat the food that you bought with this money? Didn’t you spend it? In the end, he even gave his house to your family. Now that you have an opinion, you can give me the money you’ve earned over the years and we’ll split up.”
Bai Feng was stunned. She had forgotten about this! If other daughters-in-law dreamed of splitting up, then their family was the complete opposite! She did not want to move out at all. If she did not move out, there would be someone to help look after the children. She did not need to pay for the children’s school fees, and she would not have to worry about food.
Bai Feng had never eaten her fill when she was with her maternal family. Moreover, with her husband’s honest appearance, he would be at a disadvantage if he did not have his family to cheer him up. It was even possible that his entire family would starve to death…
