âJinhua, ignore her. She got totally paste filled in her head. Our Jinghan finally got recovered, heâll certainly get a xiucai title for us. And then, as his grandma, I also feel honored.â
After driving away the one who was brainless and kept making them feel uncomfortable, Lady Sun held her daughterâs hand and felt happier as she said, like she had already seen the scene that Ling Jingxuan had been listed.
âYes, as his big aunt-in-law, I could also benefit a lot from it. Jinhua, you canât stand in the way.â
The sophisticated Lady Mu hurriedly echoed aside, and the other two sisters-in-law also nodded in agreement. Then Wang Jinyu who was sitting on the other side of Lady Sun looked at her elder sister while grabbing her hand, âBig sister, mom said right. Jinghan is smart since he was little. Having read books for all these years, it wouldnât be a problem for him to get listed. Just wait for your good life!â
They all picked those nice words to say, making Lady Wang in such a good mood, âCome on. You already made me expect it now! Mom, why donât you stay here for a few days with dad? I was useless before, and when you came, I couldnât entertain you. Now we moved out. And under Jingxuanâs lead, our days are getting much better. Please give me a chance to show my filial piety.â
Thinking of the old days, Lady Wang couldnât help reddening her eyes again. Lady Sun who cared about her daughter also felt sorry for her. Seeing that, Lady Mu hurriedly embraced her, âToday is a good day. Jinhua, you canât cry. Mom, you just stay here with for some days. I can take care of things at home.â
âOK, Iâll listen to you. Iâll stay here to live with my big daughter for some time. So Iâll leave everything at home to you. And you help her. We are family and we shouldnât have some other thoughts, otherwise, weâll be like the old xiucaiâs family sooner or later. Do you remember that?â
Since her daughter and daughter-in-law said so, how could Lady Sun say no? Itâs just she still couldnât help giving her daughters-in-law a warning, especially Lady Han who was sitting aside rolling her eyes.
âYes, your daughter-in-law will always keep it in mind.â
Those wives were quite sensible, under the lead of Lady Mu, all nodded.
âSecond sister, why donât you also stay with the kids? Doesnât Zhang Yang also go to school? You can let Jinghan teach him. Besides, Xiaowen and Xiaowuâs tutor will also stay here for some time to avoid the summer heat. I heard he is quite learned. Yang can consult him if thereâs anything he doesnât understand. Heâd benefit a lot. After Yang gets listed, you and Qing will have your good days.â
Looking up at her younger sister, Lady Wang said so. Her younger sister was kind of miserable. Fortunately her husbandâs parents died one after another not long after she married her husband, so she had no parents-in-law to bully her, otherwise, her days would be ever harder.
âThatâs⦠okay, itâs justâ¦â
Thinking about her widowâs identity, Ling Jinhua was still a bit worried. Under general cases, widows shouldnât attend any weddings funerals. If it hadnât been that she was too happy for that her big sister had just built a big house, she wouldnât have come with her sons. And if she stayed here for a few days, sheâd have to face countless gossips against her after she went back home.
âWhat? Itâs decided already. If you donât consider it for yourself, you should consider it for the kids. Qing is only thirteen this year. In order to support his younger brother who is two years younger to study, he goes out to do odd jobs for others. You are also ignoring your own eyes and doing weaving and embroidering job day and night. Arenât you just hoping that Yang can make a rise in life? Mr. Chu is also here, this is a good opportunity that no one else can ask for.â
Sensing her concerns, Lady Wang directly made the decision for her. Before, she was always afraid of this and that, but instead of getting anything good in return, even her sons were looked down upon because of her. Jingxuan said right. She shouldnât consider too much. People could say whatever they wanted to say, as long as they had a clear conscience.
For the sake of her sonâs future, Wang Jinyu nodded after all. Gossip is never as important as the future of her son. She had seen it through all these years. Even if she had stayed at home and never gone out, had people even stopped badmouthing her? Too many louses and you wouldnât feel itchy anymore. The worst scenario was she stuffed her ears and didnât listen to whatever people said.
âThatâs it, Jinyu, I got a lot of words to talk to you. After the guests leave, we can chat slowly.â
Patting her younger sisterâs hand, Lady Wang already had tears circling in her eyes, for herself, and also for Wang Jinyu.
âBig sister, Iâll also stay here for a few days.â
No matter how good the atmosphere was, the rat droppings would spoil it. See? As Lady Han opened her mouth, everyoneâs expression instantly darkened again. In case her daughter felt embarrassed, Lady Sun hurriedly said, âNo! Go back home! If you keep acting so shamelessly, do you believe that Iâll ask Jingui to repudiate you!â
Lady Sun really got mad this time. You couldnât say that every aspect of her four daughters-in-law were all good, but only this Lady Han, she always had the way to make her want to slap her in the face, especially that every time she saw her second sonâs grimace after seeing her make trouble again and again. And she couldnât help feeling regretted that why she had chosen such a woman for her son?
âIâ¦Then let Yunya stay to serve you. I know my big sister doesnât lack of maids, but anyhow, it couldnât be better than being served by your own granddaughter, right?â
Lady Han made a stop and then suddenly pushed Wang Yunya who was still holding the baby before them. Lady Wang looked at the blushing Wang Yunya, saying with a nod, âThen let her stay. But you have to take the kid away. Yunya is big now. How could you always let her feed the baby?â
âI know. Iâll take the baby with me.â
