Chapter 227 - 219: Xu Qianwen
At this moment, the other people in the house heard the noise outside and came out, just in time to overhear He Xuewen’s words, not understanding why the ever-smiling He Xuewen was so angry? Meanwhile, Tian Sisi quietly shed tears, her eyes red and swollen, evoking pity in anyone who saw her.
Seeing the shattered plate on the ground and the scattered spring rolls, the Old Man’s pupils shrank, and upon seeing his wronged granddaughter and the arrogant look on his eldest daughter-in-law’s face, he immediately understood what had happened. It must have been the eldest daughter-in-law causing trouble for Ah Nan again.
Xu Qianwen and her daughter Tian Lili had a history of picking on Ah Nan in private, and he knew about it. However, seeing that his granddaughter could handle it herself, he had not intervened, thinking it was rare for his eldest son to come home for the New Year and he did not want to stir up trouble and disturb the peace at home.
Yet in his heart, he looked down even more on his eldest daughter-in-law and Tian Lili; whether as elders or as sisters, they still did not show the sense of propriety that Ah Nan did, and it was no wonder he and Granny doted on Ah Nan a bit more.
Now it seemed that the situation had escalated. What idiocy had his eldest daughter-in-law done to infuriate He Xuewen? He knew He Xuewen well, that he would absolutely not lose his cool during the New Year if it wasn’t something serious.
"Daddy, come judge for yourself, does he, an outsider, have any right to meddle in our family matters? He doesn’t even have a clear sense of his own weight!"
Xu Qianwen was unaware of He Xuewen’s real status and only knew that he was Tian Sisi’s godfather. She ridiculed in her mind the Old Man and Granny for causing unnecessary issues by having a godfather. Seeing that He Xuewen lived in the countryside without a formal job, she looked down on him, thinking he was just another poor relative trying to ingratiate themselves with her husband; her self-perception was indeed too favorable.
"Aiguo, keep your wife in line, and don’t let me hear any more nonsense."
The Old Man didn’t even give Xu Qianwen a glance, simply addressing his eldest son. Tian Aiguo, who was always exceedingly respectful in front of his father, promptly glared fiercely at the troublemaker Xu Qianwen to keep her in check.
Xu Qianwen trembled at the glare, immediately calming down with a hint of regret in her heart. Aiguo hated it most when she caused trouble back in their hometown, so what was she to do now?
