Chapter 516 - 514: Disfavored
Wang Yongzhen and Sun Daming, after all, cared about their faces. Hearing Old Granny Zhang’s words, their faces flushed red with embarrassment, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
From the moment Sun Laoer entered the yard, his eyes darted around restlessly, touching this and peering at that, not staying still for a moment. Upon hearing those words, he acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing.
Sun Shitou and his wife, still young with thin skins, instantly felt their faces burn like fire, especially Sun Shitou, full of youthful vigor, was about to turn around and leave right then and there.
But it was his wife who, although her face felt on fire, stood her ground firmly and even held Sun Shitou back.
Old Lady Sun was someone with exceptionally thick skin. Old Granny Zhang had made her point quite clear, anyone who cared about their reputation would have stormed off by now.
Yet Old Lady Sun stood unflinchingly, not even letting the smile on her face falter slightly, "In-laws, look at us, coming over first thing in the morning without even having a bite to eat, does the family have anything we could snack on to fill our stomachs? Surely we can’t have our grandson and granddaughter-in-law visit for the first time and not only have no welcoming gift but also not offer them food, right?" She bluntly ignored Old Granny Zhang’s insinuation.
A welcoming gift? Upon hearing this, Old Granny Zhang started grinding her teeth. Wasn’t her point clear when she didn’t attend Sun Shitou’s wedding? They didn’t bring the new bride to the Wang Family in the first month after the marriage; now that they saw the Wang Family’s fortunes improving, they were eager to cozy up.
So she thought, why did they all come so prepared? It turns out it was for the welcoming gift.
She wasn’t going to give them a penny, as for food, let them go drink the northwest wind!
Seeing Old Granny Zhang’s expression, Wang Laozhu knew trouble was brewing.
He, too, had no fondness for the Sun Family, but this great-grandson was, after all, his daughter’s bloodline. It wouldn’t be proper for an elder to turn them away on their first visit.
