Chapter 110: Refusal
Fourth Aunt Shen’s face grew increasingly hard to maintain as she fiercely looked at Chen Guizhi, "Second Sister-in-law, how do you teach your daughter-in-law? Is this how she speaks to her elders?"
Chen Guizhi hesitated with her words, still somewhat unclear about the situation. What had they been saying? Why did they suddenly become angry?
Yang PeiMin took Chen Guizhi’s arm, feeling somewhat aggrieved, "Mom, Fourth Aunt is angry because I said she’s emptying her parents’ house to provide for her in-laws. Isn’t what I said the truth? Why is Fourth Aunt lashing out at me?"
Fourth Aunt Shen glared at her angrily, "Yiguang’s wife, you’re young yet your mouth knows no bounds. When have I ever come without bringing something? The fruits I brought for your mother, did they just magically appear at your house? I scold you for your own good, lest you get talked about by others outside."
As she spoke, her expression softened, and she looked at Yang PeiMin with a forgiving look, appearing not to hold her initial anger.
Yang PeiMin grinned, "Since Fourth Aunt has said so, I can’t not believe you. I apologize for what I said earlier, please don’t hold it against me. Looking at Fourth Aunt, you don’t seem like someone who would take advantage of her parents. Look, it’s getting dark and you still brought us fruits. Thank you. Let me pack a few buns for you to take back. Don’t mind that they’re vegetable buns. It’s still somewhat light outside; we won’t keep you for dinner, you should be able to make it back home."
Saying this, she swiftly went to the kitchen and wrapped six buns in wax paper in less than a minute, cutting off anything Fourth Aunt Shen wanted to say to Chen Guizhi.
She handed the buns to Fourth Aunt Shen, "These are the buns mom left for me this morning. Not many left, I’ve packed them all for you." Then turning around, she scowled at Chen Guizhi, "Mom, what are you pulling Fourth Aunt aside for? We all have to work tomorrow. While it’s still not totally dark, we should let Fourth Aunt hurry back, that’s the proper thing to do."
