The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 541: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (8)

Seeing this scene, Wu Wenyue was so angry that she was about to go crazy!

But it just so happened that this tactless daughter-in-law added fuel to the fire, so Wu Wenyue vented all her anger on her: "Ask, ask, ask, if you have the guts, go ask your father-in-law! Why are you asking me about what he prepared?

Besides, you might as well take care of your health instead of always saying that others treat you badly. You have been married to our family for three years..."

Although the following words were not spoken out loud, Xie Wanru knew in her heart that what her mother-in-law was going to say next would definitely not be good.

She was also a person with a bad temper. Her face immediately turned ugly and she said, "Mother-in-law, you are right. I will go back to my room to recuperate. I will trouble you to do the makeup job by yourself."

Wu Wenyue was not in a hurry this time. Instead, she smiled and replied, "Of course! Nothing is more important than your health, my daughter-in-law. It's natural for me to do such a small thing as sending a gift to the future young lady of the Song family."

When the Song family was mentioned, Xie Wanru's face stiffened instantly.

During this period, policies have been tightened and taxes have been increased in disguise. Many of the Xie family's businesses need government approval before they can continue.

Among the Song family members there are officials who have control over the approval documents.

What does it mean to be the young lady of the Song family? She is the future wife of the head of the family. If you can establish a good relationship with her, then these things will naturally be twice as easy to accomplish.

Xie Wanru didn't say anything else, but followed her mother-in-law Wu Wenyue into the car to go to the Su family to deliver gifts.

Although the truck loaded with gifts set off earlier than them, it was a rickshaw after all.

The car that the two of them and their adjutant were riding in was, of course, faster than the gifts.

Fortunately, the Cao family is not far from the current Su residence, so the interval between the two parties' arrival is not too long.

Su Xiangran did not go out today. She changed into the jacket and skirt that she used to wear at home and read a book in her room.

Not long after, Nanny Hong came to report: Madam Cao and the young lady came to add makeup to her.

She knew that her aunt didn't like her very much, and thought that even if she came to give her a gift, it probably wouldn't be something very good. However, she couldn't leave due to etiquette.

So he could only let Cai Qiao tidy up his hair a little and then left the room.

It is worth mentioning that when Su Xiangran returned to China and lived in Cao's mansion, Wu Wenyue was not there.

When Cao Lianxin got pregnant, her mother Wu Wenyue was so happy! This was her first child, so she had to be taken good care of!

So she rushed to Hecheng in a hurry, wanting to see her precious daughter with her own eyes.

When Wu Wenyue returned to Hai City from Hecheng, she was surprised to find that the Su family had actually moved out of the Cao family!

In other words, she missed the opportunity to meet the fifteen-year-old Su Xiangran.

This time of adding makeup was the first time that Wu Wenyue truly saw her grown-up niece.

Wu Wenyue, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were led by servants to the courtyard of Su's house.

As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, their attention was attracted by Su Xiangran, who was sitting on a stone bench reading quietly.

The warm sunshine shining on her seemed to cover her with a layer of golden gauze; the gorgeous jacket and skirt she wore in traditional costume made her temperament more elegant.

I don’t know which wonderful passage in the book she saw, but I saw the corners of Su Xiangran’s mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile.

Hearing the footsteps of someone approaching, Su Xiangran raised her head and looked at the person approaching.

When she saw that the visitors were her aunt and cousin's wife, she immediately stood up, bowed to them, and said, "Aunt, cousin's wife, I just heard from the servants that you two came to add some dowry for me, and you even made this special trip. Thank you for your hard work.

I have prepared tea and snacks, please take a rest and enjoy them."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have different feelings about Su Xiangran.

Although the dress is not bad, it is inevitably a bit outdated in Xie Wanru's opinion. She just envied the other person for studying abroad, but when she came back, she saw that he was still the same as before he went abroad. This person really has no talent.

Wu Wenyue thought: This person doesn't look like a female student who studied abroad. It's hard to raise such a dignified person even in a large mansion. The more she looked at this person, the more familiar she looked, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

But since they were here, they couldn't just stand there, so they sat next to Su Xiangran and started chatting.

"What storybook were you reading just now, cousin?" Xie Wanru asked first. "From your expression, it seems quite interesting."

Su Xiangran closed the book and put it aside, explaining, "It's not a rare book, I'm just more interested in this kind of knowledge."

Xie Wanru obviously didn't believe it. She picked up the book next to her without even looking at the cover. But after opening it, she found that it was actually an English book, and it was very professional. She didn't recognize many of the words.

He put the book back to its place with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.

"What does the book say about my daughter-in-law?" Wu Wenyue has recently enjoyed seeing Xie Wanru get humiliated. From her expression just now, she knew that she couldn't understand the book.

In fact, this situation can be considered a family scandal, but now it happened at the Su Mansion, a relative of the Cao family, so she was so unscrupulous in finding fault.

This is probably what they saw: Su Xiangran
