Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Yan looked at her impatiently, “How would I know? Besides, Lu Lin obviously received a call from home. His grandfather must have found out about what he did. How could our Xia Ru have the ability to contact his grandfather directly?”
“You’re taking advantage of Xia Ru’s absence to deliberately slander her, right? Everything is Xia Ru’s fault.”
Seeing that her daughter was at a disadvantage, Chen Lian started arguing with Song Yan.
“What did your Xia Ru do? Do we need to spell it out? She didn’t come back last night, and Lu Lin came to her angrily today. She must have seduced him yesterday. Not only did she fail to get his love, but she even managed to anger him.
“Lu Lin is only able to leave now because his grandfather knows about this. Indeed, your Xia Ru lacked the ability to inform the old master of the Lu family, and she’s indeed the one who angered Lu Lin.
“I’m telling you, if this marriage doesn’t work out, then so be it. But if it does, this marriage must go our Xia Ye!”
Song Yan was unhappy. Now that Lu Lin had left, her only hope was Xia Ru. She immediately said, “Hmph, now that Lu Lin is gone, it’s obvious that she’s not interested in our girl. If my Xia Ru has the ability to make Lu Lin accept her, then it’s her own ability. Your Xia Ye can’t.”
Xia Ye was not happy that she was denied, but Song Yan had been suppressing her family all these years, so she did not dare to refute her.
Song Yan and Chen Lian quarreled on their daughters’ behalf, not caring about their ransacked house that was in a mess. Li Jin couldn’t help but shout, “Shut up, all of you! Hurry up and clean up the house. Are we still going to sleep tonight?”
Song Yan pursed her lips. “Isn’t Chen Lian’s family very powerful? Then let her family take care of it.”
Chen Lian was so angry that she put her hands on her hips. “Song Yan, don’t think that I won’t dare to scold you just because you’re my sister-in-law. Your family is in the wrong this time. You’re not even willing to clean the house now. What right do you have to think that your family is n.o.bler than mine? I’m going to see what your expression is like under that face.”
As she spoke, Chen Lian grabbed Song Yan’s hair and started pulling. Song Yan didn’t react in time at first, but when she realized what was happening, she started pulling at Chen Lian’s hair. The two started fighting.
Xia Jiang and Xia He were a little dumbfounded. They didn’t expect their wives to start fighting while they were quarreling. They quickly went to stop the fight, but they were accidentally injured several times. Soon, their faces were covered in red scratch marks.
Xia Jiang couldn’t help but shout, “Stop! Look at what you’ve become. Aren’t you just making a fool of yourselves?”
Xia Ye was so frightened by this scene that she cried. She wanted to fight Xia Ru over the marriage, but she never thought that her mother would fight with her aunt.
They pulled the two apart and went to clean up the house separately. They only returned to their respective rooms after they had tidied up the house.
Now that Xia Hai’s family was not around, Song Yan and Chen Lian’s families cooked their own meals. In the past, they could ask Yan Han to cook for all three families, but now that she was gone, neither was willing to cook for the whole family, so they each settled their own meals.
Xia Jiang and Xia He didn’t mind since their wives would cook for them. It was just hard on Li Jin. In the past, Yan Han had to take care of her, but now she had to cook for herself.
After what happened today, Li Jin was too lazy to cook. She directly appeared at Song Yan’s table.
At this time, Song Yan was holding a pot of chive eggs in her hand. Then, she saw Li Jin sitting at the dining table, and her smile immediately froze.
“Mother, why are you here?” Song Yan asked, embarra.s.sed.
Li Jin snorted coldly and stared at the scrambled eggs in Song Yan’s hand. I only know now that you guys eat so well when I’m not eating with you. Chives and eggs are rare in our family. You must have put three eggs in this pot of vegetables.
“Now that Xia Ru isn’t around, it’s just the two of you eating, and you actually used three eggs? In the past, when we ate together as a family, Yan Han only dared to put three eggs, max.
“Song Yan, you’re quite generous with your money.. What, you’re going to start eating without me?”
