Chapter 434: Chapter 435: Breaking Through Step by Step 1
Nianyang said, "No need to be formal, Auntie. My family lives in the town and village over in the county, we run a fruit and vegetable business..."
Turns out sheâs a country girl.
The Li Family was stunned, not because they looked down on rural people, but because it was the first time they had seen such a poised country girl like Nianyang.
The key point is she has money, spends generously, looks prettier than any city miss, and thereâs nothing about her that connects to the countryside!
"So, youâre from the countryside, huh!"
Li Xinya had been looking for an opportunity to pick on Nianyang since she first saw her, and now she finally found it.
She immediately put her hands on her hips, glared at Nianyang with an unwelcoming look,
"Youâre a country girl, where did you get so much money to buy all these expensive gifts? Could it be you took it from my brotherâs savings to show off to everyone? Youâre such a scheming woman!"
Nianyangâs expression tightened slightly, great, she knew meeting the parents wouldnât be smooth, and here came the trouble.
Li Tingyan stood up and snapped coldly, "Li Xinya, whatâs with your attitude, did a dog eat your manners?
I order you to apologize to your Saozi immediately!"
Li Xinya shrieked, "No, I wonât apologize to her. Sheâs not my Saozi; the Saozi I recognize is Sister Huan.
Brother, what are you thinking? Sheâs just from the countryside, how can she compare to Sister Huan? I refuse to have her as my Saozi!"
"Li Xinya, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Li Zhenhua was furious. He is a straightforward person, always teaching his children to be modest and not to look down on others.
The way Li Xinya spoke about Nianyang was truly excessive!
Moreover, Li Tingyan had already said Nianyang is his wife, yet Li Xinya kept insisting Nianyang canât compare to Chu Huan!
This makes things so embarrassing for Nianyang, it truly shows a lack of manners!
"Who taught you to look down on people like this, whatâs wrong with Nianyang being from the countryside?
Whatâs wrong with the countryside? Arenât your ancestors from rural areas?
If there werenât any farmers, who grows and produces what you eat, drink, and wear?
You really let your conscience be eaten by a dog, do you believe Iâll use family rules on you!"
The other members of the Li Family, including Shang Wan, were all looking at Li Xinya displeased, sharing Li Zhenhuaâs thoughts.
Shang Wan was worried about how to speak with Yunrouâs side, not fully accepting Nianyang as a daughter-in-law yet, but she wouldnât embarrass Nianyang for it.
What Li Xinya said was too much; even as a mother, she wanted to smack her!
"I..."
Li Xinya was left speechless after being reprimanded. In truth, she was too worked up, which is why she spoke like that. She was close with Chu Huan and desperately wanted Chu Huan as her Saozi.
Thatâs why she found everything about Nianyang unpleasant, choosing to pick on the fact that Nianyang was a country girl.
Now, after her fatherâs reprimand, Li Xinya also realized she was wrong, lowered her head and said,
"Okay, I shouldnât have said that, I was wrong. But donât you all find it strange?
Sheâs from the countryside, how does she have money to buy all these things? I think itâs definitely my brother who bought them, deliberately fooling us. Such a woman is the most hypocritical, she doesnât deserve to step through our front door!"
Hearing this, the Li Family was taken aback. Li Xinyaâs words were harsh, but not entirely unreasonable; initially, they thought Nianyang was particularly wealthy, but now knowing her background turned out to be like this.
The gifts she bought might indeed have been purchased using Li Tingyanâs money.
Buying gifts with Li Tingyanâs money and taking credit for it herself is indeed a bit off-putting.
If itâs really like this, then this girlâs character is indeed questionable.
