Chapter 1023: 243: Yangyang got angry_4

“Really?” Shangguan Xi asked with her face flushed.

“Yes, really,” Zuo Ling nodded.

About an hour later, it was finally time to eat.

The dishes were pretty good, consisting of five dishes and one soup, two meat and three vegetarian, but it was much worse compared to the last time Zuo Ling had visited the Ni Family.

But Shangguan Xi could understand, after all, the Zuo Family’s conditions were no match for theirs.

Zuo father warmly urged Shangguan Xi to sit down and eat, “Xiaoxi, don’t be polite, just treat this as your own home.”

“Thank you, uncle. Auntie, you’ve worked hard.”

Zuo mother couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to Shangguan Xi.

Her son wasn’t without prospects for a wife; she didn’t feel the need to please Shangguan Xi.

Shangguan Xi assumed Zuo mother was just eccentric and didn’t mind.

After dinner, Zuo Ling couldn’t wait to take Shangguan Xi back.

Zuo mother took the gift Shangguan Xi had brought, “Xiaoxi, you’re too polite bringing such expensive gifts to just visit. Please take them back.”

Zuo mother deliberately emphasized the word ‘expensive’.

Who would crave such trivial items?

Shangguan Xi didn’t catch the implied meaning from Zuo mother and smiled, “It’s nothing expensive, just some fruit. You don’t have to be so polite.”

“You take them back,” continued Zuo mother, “take them back for the elders at home to enjoy. It must have been a long time since you’ve had meat in the village, right?”

“Ah?” Shangguan Xi was stunned.

Zuo Ling quickly took the items from Zuo mother’s hands, smiling, “Mom, why be so formal with Xiaoxi? Since she specifically bought them to show her respect, you should just accept them.”

Zuo mother looked at Zuo Ling with a face full of disappointment.

That Shangguan Xi, with a poor family background, couldn’t even bear sons.

She wondered what Zuo Ling saw in her!

It was simply bewitchment.

As soon as the two left, Zuo mother’s expression turned cold.

“What’s this all about?” Zuo father asked curiously.

“Do you think she’s worthy of our Lingling?” Zuo mother asked, pointing outside.

Before meeting Shangguan Xi, Zuo father also thought she wasn’t worthy of Zuo Ling, but having seen her, he now thought Chen Laibao wasn’t worthy of Zuo Ling.

Men, who wouldn’t prefer someone beautiful?

Chen Laibao looked like a pig and was unapproachable.

“Besides her poor family background, everything else is tolerable,” the grandfather said.

“Tolerable? What can I say? You think her petite frame looks like she can bear sons?” Zuo mother angrily said, “Do you want to see the Zuo family lineage end with your son?”

Zuo mother understood women well; because she was too thin, she couldn’t bear a son.

“Just have more children!” Zuo father wasn’t concerned.

“Have more? It’s easy for you to say!” Zuo mother poked Zuo father’s forehead, “Do you think it’s still our time? You could have as many as you want! Now, even if one of the couple is not a worker, you can only have two!”

Then Zuo mother continued, “And look, what did she bring to our house? Compare it with what Laibao brings every time!”

“And another thing, I was exhausted in the kitchen, and she didn’t even offer to help! She really thinks she’s some kind of precious lady. What good is having such a bride back home? Just to worship her as an ancestor?”

At this, Zuo father nodded, “It seems you do have a point.”

“It is the point!” Zuo mother continued, “Besides, after marrying Laibao, Lingling wouldn’t have to worry if he doesn’t work for the rest of his life. Marrying Shangguan Xi, what can she offer him? Just a burden!”

Zuo father, who was indecisive, was convinced by Zuo mother in just a few sentences, “Then when Lingling comes back, we’ll talk to him about it.”

On the other side.

Zuo Ling brought Shangguan Xi to the roadside.

Shangguan Xi said, “Zuo Ling, I feel like your aunt doesn’t like me much.”

She wasn’t foolish; of course, she could see that Zuo mother had issues with her, and they were not minor.

Zuo Ling chuckled, “Don’t overthink it, my mom is just like that. Didn’t I tell you beforehand? Xiaoxi, in my heart, you’ve always been an empathetic and good girl. Are you going to let this cause a rift between us?”

Shangguan Xi said, “No, it’s just that if this keeps up, there will definitely be conflicts between your aunt and me. As you know, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts have always been a major issue in families.”
