Han Yu had originally intended to accompany his own daughter-in-law, but since the Old lady harbored some concerns about Han Yu and knew that this grandson wasn’t an easy bone to chew, she only called for Han Jincai and his wife and Su Wenyue to come over.
Su Wenyue also had confidence that she could handle that old woman and didn’t need Han Yu to accompany her, letting Han Yu stay with his other brothers instead, to avoid gaining a reputation for following his woman around. Su Wenyue knew Han Yu had a bit of male chauvinism in him, and she was willing to save face for her man; outside, she still paid close attention to these matters.
“Cousin, has something happened that requires the help of us brothers?” Han Yu asked in an even tone, certain that the matter related to his own family. Earlier it had been Mrs. Zhou who brought the Old lady’s wishes for his parents and daughter-in-law to see the Old lady, and now arriving with such an expression, it must be another one of Old lady’s tricks, probably related to his daughter-in-law again. Otherwise, Mrs. Zhou wouldn’t have such a look, most likely still taking into consideration his daughter-in-law’s mother’s family.
“This, it seems like Grandma had some conflict with Second Uncle, how about we go over and take a look?” Mrs. Zhou said a few words, and Han Ping couldn’t fully understand what had happened, still deciding to go over and assess the situation. He hurried toward the Old lady’s place, visibly worried that the Old lady would cause too much of a scene and offend Su Wenyue. Now, of all people in the Main House, it was Han Ping who most clearly understood his plight and status; the first lady from the Su Family was someone he couldn’t afford to offend.
Seeing Han Ping like this, Han Yu and the others quickly followed. They knew all too well how unreasonable the Old lady could be, and were afraid that the people from the Second House were at a disadvantage.
Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Li, and Yang Juxiang and her daughter were all waiting outside. Seeing Han Ping and the others rushing towards the Old lady’s place, it was clear that something had happened, so they hastily followed.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Li were, of course, worried that their own family members were at a disadvantage. Yang Juxiang and her daughter, on the other hand, were there for the excitement. If it had been before, they might have sided with the Second House, but having lived these days at Han Jincai’s, they had indeed developed quite a bit of resentment, not just towards the kind Mrs. Liu, but also resenting Mrs. Yang. However, they had no fond feelings for the Main House’s people, either, as they actually looked down on them. It would be best for the Main House and Second House to start a fight, and neither side would come out on top.
Because they didn’t know what the situation was, the children were left in the courtyard so they wouldn’t be affected by any unpleasantness, not to mention the room was far too crowded for so many people.
“My heavens, you ungrateful descendants deserve to be killed a thousand times over, so undutiful. How have you not been struck dead by lightning, I regret giving birth to such a heartless one.”
When Han Ping and the others arrived, they saw the Old lady crying and cursing. Han Jincai and his wife, as well as the master and servant duo of Su Wenyue, all had faces of endurance and gloom. Han Ping’s heart skipped a beat, and he deliberately glanced at Su Wenyue’s face, feeling a sense of foreboding.
“Grandma, what’s all this about? Today is your birthday, a day of celebration. You should be happy—how come you’re crying? Can’t we talk about whatever it is nicely?” Han Ping first went to placate the Old lady, asking her to stop making a scene, so he could figure out what was going on.
The Old lady still gave face to Han Ping, after all, the Main House now relied on this eldest grandson to maintain its dignity. Even if she would argue with anyone, she wouldn’t quarrel with him, especially since she had initiated this without his knowledge, intending to take care of things before telling him. Little did she know that Mrs. Zhou would go and report to her grandson.
