Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons
Chapter 125 Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts
It turned out that she was Jiang Ying, Xu's mother's biological sister. She came here with her son and daughter-in-law to support her sister.
But Xiao Youniang shook her head seriously and corrected her: "You are wrong. Our teacher taught us that what everyone says is good may not be really good. That is called 'judging by the appearance, not the heart'."
She puffed out her little chest, looking proud, as if remembering this sentence was a great achievement for her.
Zhang Sanwa couldn't help but laugh softly. He covered his mouth and coughed softly, and gently corrected his sister: "It should be 'You know a person's face but not his heart', young lady."
This simple sentence was like a fuse, instantly igniting Jiang Ying's suppressed emotions.
She stood up suddenly, her fingers almost touching the Zhang family's noses, her anger and unwillingness evident in her words.
Just when the situation was about to get out of control, Zhang Laoer stepped forward and said, "Brother, it seems that our Zhang family is still unwelcome. As soon as we walked in to pay New Year's greetings, someone started to find fault with us. Since we are unwelcome, we should be sensible and leave on our own accord!"
As he spoke, Zhang Laoji raised his hand, as if he was ready to pick up his luggage and leave at any time. Xu Guishan felt panic in his heart.
His face flushed red, and he didn't care about the face issues between the family members. He almost shouted: "Enough! Aunt, please stop talking. My sister and brother-in-law are both kind-hearted people. Whoever makes trouble for no reason and destroys the harmony between our two families will never be able to step into my door again!"
Xu Guishan's roar was like a sudden thunderclap that made the air stagnate.
Jiang Ying's face suddenly became as dark as clouds and changed rapidly. Her son and daughter-in-law who were following her also looked embarrassed. They exchanged glances with each other but did not dare to say much.
Seeing this, Xu's mother immediately put on her elder's majesty and scolded her son. At the same time, she pulled his sleeve tightly and signaled him to apologize to her sister: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your aunt is straightforward and never gossips behind people's backs. She loves me and your sister Li Yun hasn't returned home for a long time. She is anxious and has such a misunderstanding."
After some gentle persuasion, Jiang Ying's expression eased somewhat, but there was still some displeasure between his brows.
At this time, if Xu Guishan could show some humility in time, perhaps this family crisis could be settled.
However, Xu Liyun, who was standing aside, had already been in turmoil as she was planning her own plan.
How could Xu Liyun easily let go of Jiang Ying's previous groundless targeting and harassment?
She smiled slightly, leaned close to Xu Guishan's ear, and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "As far as I can remember, this aunt has never set foot in our house. Why did she suddenly come to visit with her family today? Maybe there is something going on in the outside world, and she is thinking of asking my parents for help, or borrowing some money?"
When Xu Guishan heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He re-examined the behavior of Jiang Ying and his group, and there was a bit more vigilance and consideration in his eyes.
Seeing that her words had taken effect, Xu Liyun continued to whisper in Xu Guishan's ear, speaking faster and lower: "You must remember, our family has just added a rare treasure worth five hundred taels! If brother-in-law is careless and lets the news leak to them, so many people will be staring at them, and then we will spend a lot of money, so how can we not share a share with them? And look at how much mother cares about your cousin, maybe she has wanted to help you privately for a long time. How can such a generous person be stingy with them?"
Every word of these words touched Xu Guishan's heart.
He was a very selfish person. It was not easy for him to share his unexpected wealth with his parents, brothers and sisters. Now he had to ask his aunt's family to share a share, which made his heart hurt as if it was stabbed by a needle.
Over there, Jiang Ying looked expectantly at his nephew being pulled aside by Xu Liyun to whisper, fully expecting an apology in return, but unexpectedly all he got was more silence, and a chill ran down his spine.
The reason why she was so picky about Xu Liyun was simply to suppress Xu Liyun's prestige in the family in order to pave the way for her nephew's marriage.
I never thought that this nephew would be so indifferent to the relationship between them, standing on the same side as his married sister and turning around to blame his aunt, with whom he has a blood relationship!
Jiang Ying felt mixed emotions, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at his other nephew became cold.
Xu's mother noticed that her sister's face was becoming increasingly gloomy, and she became anxious, so she twisted her son's arm again and urged him to apologize quickly.
But Xu Guishan was not willing to obey easily at this moment. His mind was full of the property that might be distributed to his aunt's family, so how could he bow his head easily?
He struggled to break free from his mother's hand, skillfully avoiding her pull, and said with a hint of provocation: "I did nothing wrong. Our family has finally reunited. Why do you want to let outsiders interfere in our affairs?"
"Xu Guishan, you actually treat me as an outsider?! I am your aunt!"
Jiang Ying's voice trembled with anger, her finger pointed at Xu Guishan, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
Xu Guishan retorted impatiently: "What about my sister and brother-in-law? Didn't they also leave home and become someone else's family?"
"How can this be the same? A daughter who is married off is like water spilled..."
Jiang Ying tried to argue, but before she could finish, Xu Guishan had already lost his patience to continue arguing: "According to what you said, aren't you and my mother also spilled water? The two pools of water each flowed into different families, so why mix them together now?"
Xu Guishan's words were sharp and his wit was extraordinary.
Xu's mother was always proud of this, believing that her son's eloquence would help him avoid disadvantages in the future. She even often showed off in front of her sister, boasting that she had given birth to a very smart son.
Such a scene can't help but remind people of the warm times when Xu's mother and her sister joked and praised each other in private.
Jiang Ying's face was filled with genuine joy. Whenever she saw her nephew's face, which was quite similar to Zou Jia's, she couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in her heart.
She often inadvertently compared her son, who was not good at speaking, with the eloquent Xu Guishan. Perhaps deep in her heart, she had a glimmer of hope that her son would one day become eloquent.
However, when Xu Guishan's sharp words were directed at her like sharp arrows, Jiang Ying suddenly felt a piercing pain.
She was gasping for breath, and her chest felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock, making it difficult to breathe.
The son at the side was quick to support his mother and then glared at Xu Guishan angrily, his voice filled with uncontrollable excitement: "How can you talk to my mother like that? Everything she did was for your future!"
"You came to my house, accused my sister of wrongdoings, and caused chaos in the family. Is this what you call 'doing it for my own good'? If you really cared about me, you should have maintained family harmony with a friendly attitude instead of coming to my house to stir up trouble during the New Year. Do you have to see my family quarreling before you feel satisfied?"
