"Father!" Dà Sun shi stomped her foot.

"I haven't got the time to discuss worldly affairs and whether things are expensive or cheap with you. What I want to say is that your granddaughter, Xiaojie, has a bad attitude, isn't serious, and doesn't care!" said Da Sun.

Lao Suntou smiled, "The Zhang family's family background is right there. A whole family in town guarding a small shop selling farming tools, they can only come up with this much!"

“This standard, to be honest, can't compare to the quality of what our two families have. But if you take it to the village and compare it with other houses, it's still quite decent.”

"That's enough, we're all family, don't mind these little things!"

Da Sun met with failure when she went to Lao Sun Tou, and turned her pleading gaze to Xiao Jie's father.

"Don't you even say a word? You're my own daughter!" Dà Sūn shi glared at Xiǎo Jié's father.

Xia Jie's father was smoking a dry pipe. Upon hearing this, he pulled out his dry pipe and chuckled with a "hehehe" sound.

"I'm a daughter-in-law, not a sold daughter. As long as the two children get along well, it's better than anything else."

>Da Sun shi: "You..."

She was so angry she almost threw up.

Here, Old Sun turned to Da Zhi and Huang Mao again and asked: "You all went with them to Zhang's house, so what do you think of how the Zhang family treats our Xiao Jie?"

Daje's eyes were squeezed shut by the fat on his face, and they had been strained from years of studying.

Upon hearing Lao Sun's question, he narrowed his eyes and recalled for a moment, saying: "Zhang Ban's parents were very polite to us, but the Zhang family didn't have much food, but that's nothing. I've been classmates with Zhang Ban for several years, and I can guarantee his character. He's an honest person and will be good to my sister!"

Huang Mao smiled and said, "I believe in Da Jie's vision."

Old Sun heard this and felt relieved.

At this moment, footsteps came from outside. Xia Jie hummed a little tune and skipped back to the main hall.

Seeing her parents, grandparents, and brother-in-law all there, with a few unwrapped packages on the table, Xiaojie instantly guessed what they were discussing. Her face flushed red.

"Xiao Jie, come in here!" Da Sun shi called to Xiao Jie with a bad temper.

Xiaojie was surprised, so she obediently went into the main hall.

"Mother, what's wrong?" she asked.

"You, Zhang Ban! You don't even say a word to your mother-in-law. How rude!" said Mrs. Da Sun.

Xiaojie smiled and said, "Mother, I was just about to explain this to you. Actually, Zhang Ban just called out when he lifted the curtain and saw you. His voice was a little soft, and at that moment I spoke, my voice covered his, so you didn't hear him."

Elder Sun rolled her eyes and said, "Stop defending him! He's a grown man, not starving to death. His voice is so quiet, it's like a mosquito buzzing—unbecoming!"

Xiaojie was taken aback, then she became upset. "Mom, what do you mean? I've already explained everything to him and reminded him of everything important. What else do you want?"

“My goodness, even reminding your elders how to greet people requires you to instruct and guide them step-by-step? What's the point of that? Zhang Ban isn't a child!” Da Sun scoffed.

Xiaojie felt humiliated and her face flushed red.

"Mother, you always have to speak in such a confrontational way? Why do you always shout? Just because you speak loudly doesn't mean everyone else does! I don't think shouting like that is good. I prefer someone like Zhang Ban who is quiet and studious!"

>

“Goodness gracious, you little rascal! You're already turning your elbow outward before even marrying into the Zhang family? As the old saying goes, a woman's appearance betrays her true nature. I carried you for ten months in my womb and raised you with my own hands, but now you side with an outsider to criticize me?”

"Go on, go on. You don't have to wait until next year. I'll make up a bed for you right now. Go live with the Zhang family! You're one of them anyway!"

Mrs. Da Sun said, raising her hand to drive Xiaojie outside.

Xia Jie was so angry she stomped her foot and her face turned red.

She ran to Mrs. Sun's side and took her arm: "Auntie, look at my mother, she's so fierce. Even when Zhang Ban sent us to the courtyard gate earlier, she didn't ask anyone to come in and sit down,"

“Is she rejecting me so much that she wants to kick me out now?”

Sun patted Xiaojie's hand. "Don't talk nonsense, your mother has a sharp tongue but a kind heart. She only has you as her daughter and dreams of you being well!"

“I hope she gets better, but it’s useless if she doesn't try herself!” Da Sun interrupted Sun’s words.

The old man, Sun, put on a stern face and said, “Alright, alright. You two, arguing over such a small matter until you're red in the face? Don't be ashamed! Just keep quiet!”

In this world, there are no perfect people or perfect things. When fate arrives, that's enough. Our Sun family isn't short on anything now.

"Alright, everyone, disperse now. Go back to your rooms and rest. It's the New Year, so no noise!"

Thus, everyone dispersed in their own ways. Sun Shi also returned home.

At home, things were also lively. Xiaohua and the others were amusing Feng'er, Chen'er, Baby, and Yang Ruqing in the main hall.

Feng'er, like a little monkey, was doing all sorts of funny and comical actions under the instigation of the crowd.

Sun's expression shifted between amusement and disbelief: "Didn't we say you were coming back to sleep for your afternoon nap? Why are you still fooling around here?"

Little Flower: "He slept all the way back in the carriage, but as soon as I put him on the bed, he woke up. Since he couldn't fall asleep, I might as well let him play, so he won't be unable to sleep later at night."

Mrs. Sun nodded in agreement and sat down beside him. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“Oh, by the way, there are two packages at your aunt's place. They're clothes from Uncle Zhang's family for our three children, and red envelopes for all of you.”

"You guys asked me to bring it back before, but I forgot when I was leaving. I guess your aunt will send it over soon."

After she finished speaking, Big Sun arrived in a flurry, with two bundles tucked under her arms.

"Just as well that Qing'er is here, it saves me another trip. These are fabrics for Chen'er and the baby from the Sun family, and these red envelopes are for all three of you. Please don't dislike them, take them. Just think of it as a token of good will!" Dasi said.

Yang Ruqing hurriedly got up and took it with both hands, smiling and saying, "Auntie, you're too kind. We are so honored to have you here!"

Da Sun scoffed, “Don’t try to cheer me up. I know all about the Zhang family's petty ways,”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"I was still arguing with Xiao Jie, that little rascal, just now. That girl, she's two-faced and almost drove me crazy!"

Upon hearing this from Elder Sun, Yang Ruqing and the others revealed a hint of surprise.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Sun Shi then told Yang Ruqing and the others about the conflict that had occurred between Da Sun Shi and Xiao Jie in the main hall of the Sun family earlier.

Yang Ruqing and Xiaohua and the others were all giggling, covering their mouths.

>

Dà Sun shi glared and said, "What are you laughing at? You children are all too young to understand what it's like to be a mother." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

“It's true, everything was handled by me. I put in all the effort and care, but in the end, I became the bad guy.”

>

"What do you think I'm trying to do?" She clapped her hands, spread her arms wide, and looked utterly helpless.

A genius in one second: m.
