After Su Jianye and his family settled down in the living room, Liu Xiang and Su Jianan went to the kitchen to continue making lunch.
Liu Xiang closed the kitchen door on purpose and asked her husband in a low voice, âWhat do you think of Qianqianâs boyfriend?â
âItâs not good! He has been staring at our Yanyan since he entered the door. Look, little rascal!â Su Jianan replied angrily.
The three members and Liu Xiang were talking with Mrs. Su. She then took out the walnut
kernels she had peeled in the past few days from under the coffee table, and stuffed into Su Qianâs arms. âYou worked hard in the previous exam, and Grandma especially peeled walnuts for you to nourish your brain!â
Su Qian curled her lips. âOnly peeled for me? Xiao Zhan must have it too, and he must have gotten more than me.â
When comparing her grandson to her granddaughter, indeed, Mrs. Su favoured the grandson more than this granddaughter. âHe is still studying in college and has to use his brain a lot. He should consume more walnuts than you, isnât that normal?
âWhat about Su Yan?â Su Qian repeated.
Mrs. Su snorted sarcastically, saying, âHer brain is not easy to use, and if it is easy to use, it wouldnât let the man run away. It doesnât matter how many walnuts she eats. She will be forever stupid!â
After hearing her grandmaâs words, Su Qian was happy. She clasped Grandmaâs arm and said, âI knew Grandma was the best for me.â Even though she couldnât compare to Su Zhan, she could still crush Su Yan.
Chen Baihui also echoed with a smile, âIsnât that right, Grandma is the best person in this world to you, you have to know how to be grateful.â
Su Qian was very cooperative. âOf course, I know! I love Grandma more than you!â
Mrs. Su was coaxed to be happy, she glanced at the kitchen, then lowered her voice and said to her younger son and daughter-in-law, âYou two come with me.â
Su Jianye and Chen Baihui looked at each other for a while, immediately stood up, and followed Mrs. Su, leaving Su Qian and her boyfriend Lin Chuanhao there. Every time they visited their mother, she would secretly stuff something: either money or jewellery.
As there was no one around, Su Qian put the airtight jar on the coffee table, and said with disdain, âThis old woman only has her grandson in her eyes, so I donât care for her peeled walnuts!â
âAt least you still have it, your sister doesnât even have a piece of walnut skin,â Lin Chuanhao soothed his girlfriend.
âHow can I compare with her?â asked Su Qian.
âThere is no need to compare you to anyone.â After pausing for a while, Lin Chuanhao abruptly changed his tone, âBut your sister is quite attractive.â
What Su Qian hated the most was when people praised Su Yan in front of her, especially when they praised Su Yan for her good looks. She suddenly turned her head and stared at her boyfriend. âWhat do you mean? Do you think she is prettier than me?â
âShe is indeed prettier than you, has a better figure than you, and is more than one notch better than you in every aspect, Lin Chuanhao thought but dared not say that. âThatâs impossible, my girlfriend is the prettiest!â
Su Qian didnât believe it. âDid you fall in love with her?â
Lin Chuanhao: âHow is it possible? Who doesnât know that she is a second-hand product that was kicked away? I can still see her?â
Su Qian was finally satisfied this time and raised the corners of her lips. âI think so too.â
By noon, Liu Xiang had finished preparing, so the family sat around the big round table in the dining room and started the meal.
After Chen Baihui was seated, she took a look at the dishes on a large table, and said admiringly, âSister-in-lawâs craftsmanship is amazing! Itâs really hard work!â
Liu Xiang replied with a smile, âItâs not hard, and everyone should eat well.â
Chen Baihui looked at Liu Xiang again, her expression and tone filled with envy. âOh, my sister-in-lawâs skincare is really good, sheâs not a yellow-faced woman like me, and sheâs busy every morning and night taking care of the house, unlike me, who doesnât even have time to cook for my family. Sister-in-law, you are beautiful and virtuous, and it is a great blessing for my elder brother to marry you.â
Liu Xiang felt a little embarrassed by her praise and hurriedly waved his hands. âNo, no!â
At this time, Old Madam Su suddenly snorted coldly. âStaying every day at home, she dared not do anything, and like other people in the city, she spent so much money to buy bottles and jars. Can the skin be bad? Her face is covered with hard-earned money by her own man!â
Liu Xiang was ashamed. Although she felt wronged, she didnât refute her mother-in-lawâs words in public.
âWhat do you mean my mother is idle at home every day and doesnât do anything? Doesnât she clean the house? Doesnât she wash the clothes of the whole family?
Doesnât she cook the food you eat, andâŚâ Su Yan questioned angrily, as she could not stay silent anymore listening to the old lady.
âYan Yan!â
Su Jianan and Liu Xiang scolded their daughter at the same time, so Su Yan shut her mouth angrily.
Su Zhan was fearless, and he couldnât let his grandmother bully his family members in front of outsiders. âMy sister is wrong? Are Grandmaâs words true then?â
Although Su Zhan loved his Grandma, he didnât want to see his Grandma bullying his mother. Not to mention that he was brought up by his mother, and he still loved his mother more.
Seeing her precious grandson getting angry, old lady Su shut her mouth tightly.
