Song Lan held Song Yaoâs hand and said, âActually, I understand everything youâve told me. Although Little Hu is young, he knows in his heart that although heâs not my biological grandson, heâs been raised by me for so many years and I have grown attached to him. Iâm still the same as before.â
âThis time, your Brother Sun Nan bumped into Wu Xia in Pengcheng. I even specially told your Brother Sun Nan to remember to help her if thereâs anything. After all, sheâs been with Sun Hao for so many years.â
Song Yao frowned and felt that her Auntie was too kind.
Just as he was about to say something, he heard a dog barking outside the door.
Right on the heels of that, a sharp female voice sounded from outside the courtyard. âWhose dog is this? How uncultured! Quickly call your master out!â
Song Yaoâs face darkened. She didnât need to think to know who had come to her house.
âIf it werenât for the fact that I was busy visiting my relatives during the New Year, do you really think I would want to come to this lousy place where rabbits donât shit?! You even said that you would move to a town! This lousy place isnât much better than the countryside⦠Even the dogs in the countryside are so uneducated!â
Hearing this, Song Lanâs expression darkened.
âWhy is your aunt free to visit your relatives this year?
Song Yaoâs expression was ugly. âI heard that I found a partner and wanted to come over to take a look.â
With that, she stood up and went out the door.
Outside the courtyard, Song Yaoâs aunt, Gu Fang, was wearing a woolen coat. She was in a sorry state as she pointed at the big yellow dog outside Liu Muâs house and cursed. Beside her stood her cousin, Chen Huan, and her uncle, Chen Feng.
Wang Hong heard someone scolding her dog in the courtyard and came out of the house to argue with Gu Fang.
âSister, my dog is on a leash, but it barked twice at the place you passed. Youâre already an adult, why are you arguing with a dog?â
âArguing with a dog? So what if Iâm arguing with a dog today! As expected of a country bumpkin with no manners and bad taste! Your dog is disturbing me, do you know that? Itâs already good enough that I didnât look for you to compensate me!â
This was also the first time Wang Hong had seen such a shameless person. She placed her hands on her waist and wanted to quarrel with Gu Fang. âI have no manners? Who is the one with no manners? A country bumpkin? If you look down on country bumpkins, donât come to the countryside! Why are you so arrogant all day long? Do you believe that Iâll get my son to chase you out of town?â
âYou still dare to threaten me, right?â Hearing this, Gu Fang became even angrier and reached out to grab Wang Hongâs hair.
Wang Hong did not give in and pushed her down in a few moves.
By the time Song Yao left the courtyard, Gu Fang had already been pushed against the wall. She gritted her teeth and climbed up from the wall, wanting to scratcha Wang Hongâs face.
Song Yao went up to her. âAunt, why didnât you tell me you were coming?â
As soon as she saw Song Yao come out, Gu Fang immediately covered her mouth and nose. âItâs true that rural people have never been to the city. Such harsh conditions are considered the best in your eyes, right?â
Song Yao ignored Gu Fang with a dark expression. She walked to Wang Hong and apologized to her. âAunt, Iâm really sorry. My relative has caused you trouble. Iâll get Xiao to send two catties of brown sugar to you later!â
Unexpectedly, this shrew was actually Song Yaoâs relative. Wang Hong smiled and said, âItâs fine! Youâre about to get married. Itâs only right for a few relatives to visit..
After Wang Hong finished speaking, she glanced at Gu Fang. âItâs my fault. If a dog bites, can a human bite a dog?â
After saying that, she patted Song Yaoâs hand. âAlright, happy marriage! Thereâs no need for brown sugar. When your family is busy in two days, just leave some meatballs for me.â
After Wang Hong finished speaking, she returned to her courtyard. Gu Fang stared at Wang Hongâs departing figure and was even more furious.
âWho are you working with? Iâm your aunt! How dare you speak up for an outsider!â
Song Yaoâs face was still dark. âAlright! Go in. My mother has been waiting for you for half a day!â
Gu Fang rolled her eyes in Song Yaoâs direction and cursed in her heart. Poor thing! If I didnât have something to ask of you, I wouldnât have come to this godforsaken place!
Her husband, Chen Feng, followed her into the courtyard.
Song Yaoâs small courtyard had been meticulously designed by Song Yao. There was a greenhouse at the side of the courtyard, and it was filled with flowers and plants that Gu Fang could not name. There was an oven in the middle.
As soon as she entered, her cousin, Chen Huan, smelled the pleasant smell of roasted mutton.
âMom! Why do I smell mutton?â
Chen Huan was puzzled. She remembered her mother saying that her aunt from the countryside was a country bumpkin and poor villager. She usually could not even eat an egg, let alone mutton, which was a good thing that she usually could not eat much..
