Chapter 142 Elders Gathered

Lu Xiuhou, being the eldest aunt, spoke first, “Niannian, as your aunts, we’re just giving you some advice, don’t be annoyed.

 Your little aunt and I just want to remind you, you need to be careful with money, don’t spend everything you have.”

 “Shi-shen is quiet and doesn’t care much about money, your family can only rely on you to manage the money. Don’t let him have his way in the future.

You need to control the money, don’t let him spend it recklessly.”

 Lu Xiujun nodded in agreement, saying earnestly, “Niannian, we heard about what happened between you and Shi-shen from your second brother and second sister-in-law. Now that you’ve gotten your marriage certificate with Shi-shen, we only recognize you as our niece-in-law.”

 “We’re telling you this because we want you to have a good life, spend money on your own family, don’t let Shi-shen learn from those who like to show off.

Your little uncle has this problem, everyone praises him, but only I know how suffocating it is to live with someone like that.

To save face, he can spend all the money in the house, leaving nothing for even salt, he can’t be bothered with his own family’s affairs, but he’s more enthusiastic about other people’s business.” Both aunts were practical women who lived simple lives.

Seeing their nephew spending money like this, they felt sorry for him.

 Their nephew had always been quiet and didn’t like to talk, they were only kind enough to remind his wife because they saw her being quite talkative, that it’s important to hold onto money for a rainy day, don’t let their nephew squander it all, and then his wife and children would have a hard time. Yang Niannian wasn’t someone who didn’t understand kindness, she knew her aunts were doing it for her own good, she giggled and said, “Eldest aunt, little aunt, I know you’re doing this for Shi-shen and me, don’t worry, I’ll manage the house well in the future and take care of our little family.

” After a pause, she explained, “He bought so much food this time because he felt that he’s been out for so many years and hasn’t properly entertained his family.

 All the uncles, aunts, and cousins who came today are family, there are no outsiders, so he wanted to buy more food and let everyone eat well. He doesn’t usually spend much, he gives all his allowance to me to manage.”

 Not only did she acknowledge the kindness of her aunts, but she also explained that Lu Shi-shen did this because he valued family, hearing this, the aunts were not only relieved but also very pleased, they liked Yang Niannian even more.

Look at that sweet mouth, and that little face, they couldn’t take their eyes off her when she smiled, let alone their nephew. Lu Xiuhou held Yang Niannian’s hand and said with concern, “Niannian, Shi-shen is lucky to have you, the Lu family didn’t even have a wedding for you, it’s really unfair to you.”

 Lu Xiujun nodded, she liked this niece-in-law more and more, her nephew was quiet and introverted, he needed a lively wife like this. He was lucky, he lost the college graduate wife, but he still found a beautiful and charming one.

“It’s not unfair, Shi-shen, although he’s quiet, is actually quite good to me.

” Yang Niannian said crisply. Lu Xiuhou and Lu Xiujun thought, their nephew was more than just quiet!  Ugh, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he was half-mute.

They wondered if his personality had changed a bit in the past few years since they hadn’t seen him. Lu Xiuhou glanced outside, seeing that quite a few people had arrived in the courtyard, she quickly said, “Alright, let’s not just chat, let’s get ready to cook.”

Lu Xiujun also remembered that there were many things to do, she quickly said, “I’ll go help Ailian and Ruoling wash the vegetables, big sister, you boil some water to pluck the chicken feathers.” Their nephew bought three big roosters, as well as seven or eight pounds of pork, and three big grass carp, just these dishes cost at least 20 yuan.

 Lu Xiuhou agreed, picked up a dipper and poured water into the big iron pot, Yang Niannian wanted to help, but she stopped her. “You’re the bride today, you can’t be busy, I can boil the water alone. It’s hot in the kitchen, you go out and rest for a while.”

 There weren’t really that many people needed to boil water, Yang Niannian didn’t stay in the kitchen, she had just gone out when Lu Shi-shen came up to her. He asked with concern, “What were your aunts talking to you about just now?”

 Yang Niannian pouted, “They said, if you bully me in the future, they’ll come and help me get revenge.” Seeing that she was in a good mood, he guessed that the two aunts hadn’t said anything too outrageous, Lu Shi-shen was relieved.

 At this time, Lu Qingyuan walked over, “Shi-shen, sister-in-law, your uncle has arrived at the village entrance, let’s go pick him up.”

 Lu Shi-shen nodded, and said to Yang Niannian in a low voice, “If you don’t want to go out, just rest in the main room.” Yang Niannian smiled playfully, “An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her in-laws, I’ll go with you, so my uncle won’t say I’m putting on airs.” “

Let’s go.”

 Lu Shi-shen took her hand and walked out.

As soon as they left the courtyard, they met their uncle and the others, their uncle and aunt, and their son had all come, while their uncle’s family only had their aunt and two sons. Except for the aunt and uncle’s wife, none of the other female members of the family came.

 “Uncle, Aunt, Aunt…” Lu Qingyuan and Lu Shi-shen greeted their elders in turn, Yang Niannian followed suit. Uncle Ma Guilin and Aunt had honest and simple faces, they were very friendly to Yang Niannian, they praised her for being beautiful and said that Lu Shi-shen had found a good wife.

 Their aunt, Niu He Cao, and her two sons, however, had an arrogant and conceited look, their chins were almost pointing to the sky. Judging from their clothes and appearance, their uncle’s family seemed to be in much better condition than their uncle’s family.

While Yang Niannian was observing them, she noticed that her uncle’s son, Ma Hao, was also staring at her, his eyes were squinting, like he had X-ray vision, making her feel uncomfortable.  Based on her intuition, she felt that this guy was not right, she glared at Ma Hao and moved behind Lu Shi-shen.

Ma Hao tilted his head and wanted to continue looking, but Lu Shi-shen glanced at him coldly, and he immediately became quiet. Lu Qingyuan, as the eldest son of the family, didn’t see his mother and uncle come, although he knew why, he still had to ask a couple of questions. “Why didn’t my mom and uncle come?” “You don’t know your uncle’s temper?”

Niu He Cao glanced at Lu Shi-shen, deliberately speaking for him to hear, “If you brothers don’t come to apologize in person, they definitely won’t come.” Lu Shi-shen remained expressionless, “Let’s go inside and talk.”

 Seeing his attitude, Niu He Cao’s eldest son, Ma Yuejie, was unhappy, he said in a condescending tone, “Shi-shen, now that you’ve become a company commander, you don’t even care about your mother and uncle? Filial piety is the most important virtue, you’re an officer in the army, don’t you even understand this?” Lu Shi-shen frowned, “Respecting the wishes of elders, what’s the problem?

” “…” Ma Yuejie was speechless, he looked at Lu Shi-shen with a strange expression, was this still the person he knew before? He was actually talking back.

Yang Niannian smiled secretly behind Lu Shi-shen, Lu Shi-shen was getting more and more eloquent. Ma Guilin was worried that his nephew and nephew would argue, he quickly smoothed things over, “It’s hot outside, let’s go inside and talk, don’t stand outside.”

 Ma Yuejie wasn’t as tall as Lu Shi-shen, and his aura was not as strong, he had always been afraid of him, and now he was even more afraid, he dared not really confront Lu Shi-shen.

Seeing Ma Guilin smoothing things over, he quickly took the opportunity, snorted, and went into the courtyard.
