Chapter 71: Chapter 71: It Must Be Extremely Good

The guests were the biological sisters of Mrs. Yang, who had married into Xiaoxi Village, distant from Xinhe Village. Despite the inconvenience of traveling, the affection between the sisters ensured they were frequently in touch through letters. It was unexpected that they suddenly arrived in Xinhe

Village, bringing along a delicate little cousin, who affectionately called Han Yu ‘Cousin Yu’ time and again, to Su Wenyue’s chagrin. Su Wenyue sneered; nothing was more annoying than those cousins. In her time at the mansion,

she had often been irritated by the guests’ cousins, and even the sinister and duplicitous Mistress would lose her composure when mentioning certain cousins, struggling to maintain her usual pretense of kindness—a testament to the destructive power of cousins.

Moreover, Mrs. Yang was exceedingly warm to her long-unseen sister and niece, treating the little cousin as affectionately as a daughter. Su Wenyue felt somewhat irritated inside, but seeing that Han Yu paid little attention to the little cousin, not even offering her a friendly expression, she felt much more at ease.

“Juxiang, why did you suddenly come over without sending a message in advance? Look at me, I haven’t prepared anything,” Mrs. Yang said, holding her sister’s hand. Mrs. Yang’s full name was Yang Guixiang, and her sister was Yang Juxiang.

“I was tied up when Yuer got married and couldn’t make it; it’s not busy this season, so I came to visit. Besides, it has been more than a year since we last saw each other, and I really missed you,” Yang Juxiang said with a smile. In truth, she was worn down by her daughter’s insistence on visiting their aunt’s home. Considering her family’s difficult situation, Yang Juxiang was looking for some help from her sister, but she felt it wasn’t the right time to mention these things as soon as they met.

“The journey is not easy and if you could visit me, that alone would make me happy.”

“Though I say that, I still feel somewhat guilty. Yuer has always been a promising child, and originally I thought of having Chunlan marry him to strengthen our family ties. However, Old Man Han decided Yuer’s marriage without saying a word, and although I was a little disappointed, I am happy for him in my heart.”

Yang Juxiang’s words left Mrs. Yang feeling somewhat embarrassed. She had also thought Chunlan was a good match and liked the idea proposed by her sister. It would have been nice if the two families could be united through marriage, but back then, both children were young, so there was no rush to settle the matter. She never expected that Old Man Han would arrange her son’s marriage without even a heads-up, which made her very angry at the time and led to quite a dispute with Old Man Han. Still, ultimately, she couldn’t go against her father-in-law’s wishes.

However, ever since she had brought her daughter-in-law home, Mrs. Yang found that her displeasure and resentment had dissipated, feeling somewhat relieved that her father-in-law had the foresight. Otherwise, where could her son find such an excellent daughter-in-law? With a background, appearance, and character beyond reproach, there was no comparison with Chunlan, who grew up in a peasant family. Although Chunlan was her niece, a niece could not compare to a son. Mrs. Yang was clear about this.
