Chapter 165: A Stone Strikes a Thousand Waves

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Old Madam Xie’s heart was clear. Her daughter-in-law had made up her mind to fulfill her son’s wish. She didn’t care about anything outside the family.
She was probably thinking the same thing as her son. They were both afraid that they would not be able to live past the age of 35.
At the end of December this year, it would be his eldest grandson’s 21st birthday. There were only 14 years left until he was 35.
“Think about it carefully. Once this marriage is decided, it won’t just be our Xie clan members who oppose it. I’m afraid that Ah Lang will face even more criticism. Whether it was from relatives or friends from all over the country, what would happen if the ship was stuck in a difficult situation?”
“Didn’t Ah Lang consider this?”
“The impulse of a fourteen or fifteen year old is different from the vision of a twenty year old. The difference in position determines his different choices. Does Ah Lang know that you’ve arranged this marriage?”
Mrs. Yuan shook her head. She was afraid that her son would not agree, so she wanted to secretly decide first. Who knew that the emperor would come and help her and send her son away. She quickly made the first move.
“He doesn’t need to say it. 1 know what he’s thinking.”
His son was not someone who would do anything for his future or reputation. He was sincere and sincere. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to be single.
“Alright.”
Old Xie Furen let out a long sigh. In just a breath, she seemed to have aged a few years. “You can go back and do whatever you want. I’ll take care of the rest.”
Madam Yuan’s eyes widened, and tears flowed out of her eyes without her knowing it.
She assumed that her mother-in-law would not stand on her side no matter what. It would be considered lenient if she did not expel her from the Xie family. After all, Old Madam Xie was currently the actual head of the Xie family. It was true that she doted on her grandson, but there was still the entire Xie family behind her. There were more and more complicated matters to consider.
Just like Mrs. Yuan herself, she didn’t care about anyone else for her son.
She could, but Old Madam Xie could not.
However, even though Old Madam Xie knew this, she still chose to stand on her side. How could she not be shocked?
It was something she didn’t even dare to dream about.
“Mother…”
Mrs. Yuan knocked her head on the ground and sobbed.
“Alright, don’t cry. You’re also the mother of two children.”01d Madam Xie stood up and helped her up, patting her hand. “We’re two widows. Who doesn’t know each other…Mother is alive, mother will bear the burden for you. When mother dies, you will be alone…”
“Mother, you will live to a hundred years old.” Mrs. Yuan was crying and choking up. Her eyes were so full of tears that she couldn’t see clearly. How could she not respect such a good mother-in-law from the bottom of her heart?
She wiped her tears.” Not only do you have to protect me and Ah Lang, but when we give birth to Little Ah Lang in the future, we’ll still have to rely on you to protect him.”
“Yes, you’ve arranged it well. I’m so tired.”01d Madam Xie laughed.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and sighed at the same time. They both knew what kind of situation they were going to face. However, one was doing it for their son, and the other was doing it for their grandson. They were determined to fight this tough battle.
“Wash your face before you leave. Don’t go out crying like a painted cat. 1 know that you have shallow eyelids and won’t stop crying. Those who don’t know better might think that I’m bullying you and your son.”Old Madam Xie joked. At this time, she called the maid to fetch water and come in to serve.
They were all from the old lady’s room. Even the ten-year-old maid was well-trained and was not frightened in the face of danger. She pretended not to see Lady Yuan’s eyes that were swollen from crying.
Madam Yuan wanted to stay and have dinner with Old Madam Xie, but she knew that Third Master Xie and his wife were still waiting for a reply. Old Madam Xie still had a lot of things to deal with, so she did not add to the trouble. After washing her face and putting on makeup, she left and returned to her courtyard.
However, what Madam Yuan did not expect was that there was still no news from Third Master Xie. Instead, Madam Yin, the eldest sister-in-law, came.
That aggressive look on his face didn’t seem like he was here to visit, but more like he was here to cause trouble.
“Your brother and 1 heard that you’ve set Xuanhui as the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, is that true?”
When Madam Yin saw Madam Yuan, she didn’t even have the time to greet her. She went straight to the point and threw the question out. Only God knew that when she heard this news, she thought that she was dreaming and pinched her arm until it was purple.
Madam Yuan took a sip of tea. Her throat was a little dry from crying just now.
” Sister-in-law came because of this,” she admitted happily.” Yes, I’ve decided on Lady Xiao for Ah Lang-”
“What do you mean? Don’t you know that we’re engaged to the Xiao family? Whose face are you slapping? Do you know what the people outside are saying about the Xie family and you?”
Madam Yin’s face turned ferocious. The one who was laughed at even more viciously was their Yuan family!
He was slapped in the face by his aunt.
“Is there no other family in this world? Is the Xiao family a good family? They’re just a poor family. If it weren’t for your brother insisting on marrying into the Xiao family, 1 wouldn’t have taken a fancy to them!”
“You’re doing great now. What do you want others to say about us? Haven’t you heard of the Xiao family’s eldest daughter’s reputation outside?”
“Are you out of your mind?”
Each sentence was more vicious than the last. Madam Yin wished she could go up and split her aunt’s brain open to see what was inside. If the Yuan Clan and the Xie Clan got married, that would be the Yuan Clan trying to climb up the social ladder. If the Xiao Clan and the Xie Clan got married, that would be a complete loss of morals.
Did Younger Aunt know what the Xie family meant in this world?
“Cousin and the same little lady have arranged a marriage. How do you expect them to get along in the future? How do others view them? How do they view us?”Madam Yin gritted her teeth.” Your brother told me that it’d be best if this didn’t happen. It’s just a rumor. Even if it’s true, I’ll ask you to quickly cancel the marriage!”
Madam Yuan was shocked. Where did they get their confidence from?
“This is my Xie family’s matter, so there’s no need for sister-in-law to worry. If Sister-in-law is fine…”
Madam Yin interrupted coldly.” Aunt, don’t forget you. Your surname is also Yuan. How can it have nothing to do with us?” Aunt can afford to lose this person, but we can’t!”
“So, what does sister-in-law want to do when she visits? Sitting down and not saying a single good word, saying evil words, is this Madam Yin’s upbringing?”Madam Yuan spoke rather mercilessly and immediately chased him out.
“I’m tired, so 1 won’t greet sister-in-law.”
Madam Yin’s face was flushed red. It was unknown whether she was angry or embarrassed.
She had relied on her hot-bloodedness to find the Xie family. In fact, she knew very well that her aunt had never taken her seriously. Even if she went all out and tore off the Yuan family’s face and smashed it on her aunt’s face, she might not be able to persuade her aunt.
What did he mean by telling her to wake up her aunt? The eldest daughter of the Xiao family could not get married. Her husband’s words were like fart. If he wanted to show off, he could come knocking on her door.
Her husband also knew that his aunt was cold-hearted and didn’t even put him in her eyes.. How could he give her face?
