Upon hearing Zhang Suran's voice, Shao Moli hurriedly ran out to greet her.
Shao Wanwan was watching the stove for Shao Moli, so she didn't go out.
When Zhang Suran saw Shao Moli, she launched into a tirade of abuse: "I told you to come back first, but you insisted on coming back with Wanwan and Xiaojiang. They're an engaged couple, and I don't know why you were sticking your nose in there. I'll wait until I've taken care of everything before you come back and get the leftovers. You're really shrewd."
Grandma couldn't bear to see Shao Moli being wronged, so she quickly pulled Zhang Suran aside, saying, "It's not easy for us to be reunited, so let's not say too much. Will Wanwan and Xiao Jiang be able to find their way without Moli leading the way?"
“Mom, it’s all because you always side with her that you’ve spoiled her so much,” Zhang Suran expressed her dissatisfaction.
Jiang Zheyuan watched from the side, genuinely feeling sorry for Shao Moli.
Jiang Zheyuan knew that as an outsider, the best thing for him to do in this situation was to avoid it, otherwise both of them would be embarrassed.
He helped his grandmother up and said to her, "Let's go see Wanwan. She's never lit a wood-fired stove before, so we don't know if she'll be able to do it well."
Grandma told Zhang Suran, "Don't talk about Jasmine anymore, the whole family should be happy!"
As soon as her grandmother left, Zhang Suran reached out and poked Shao Moli's temple.
"You useless piece of trash who can't even fart! Look at Wanwan, she has such a great fiancé as Jiang Zheyuan. And you? You've got nothing!"
Shao Moli lowered her head further and further, enveloped by a deep sense of inferiority.
If Jiang Zheyuan weren't around, she might not have been so upset by Zhang Suran's words, but she really couldn't stand it when Zhang Suran insulted her in front of Jiang Zheyuan.
She looked up at Zhang Suran and said, "You came back early, but wasn't it Shao Wanwan and I who paid for Grandma's birthday banquet? I came back because I felt sorry for Grandma, not so you could lecture me."
This was the first time Shao Moli had contradicted Zhang Suran.
She had heard all the harshest things in the past, but she always thought of her mother as her own, who had given birth to her and raised her, and cared about her in many ways, so she endured it again and again.
But today, she suddenly didn't want to endure it anymore.
A surge of grievance rose from the soles of her feet to her chest, opening her throat.
Zhang Suran was stunned when she heard this; she hadn't expected Shao Moli to contradict her.
Feeling embarrassed, she said, "Speak louder so your grandma can hear you! Why do you only dare to whisper and not let your grandma hear you?"
Shao Moli was furious. She always reported good news and kept the bad news to herself because she felt sorry for her grandmother. No matter how Zhang Suran treated her, she never told her grandmother.
They never complain or tattle.
Because she is a left-behind child, and her maternal grandmother is also a left-behind elderly person.
They supported and cared for each other, and that's how they got to where they are today.
Now that she's able to earn money, she's even suddenly had the idea of breaking off her relationship with Zhang Suran.
But now is definitely not the time to make a scene. Jiang Zheyuan and Shao Wanwan are both here, and all the villagers will be coming tomorrow. If the mother and daughter turn against each other now, everyone will just laugh at us.
Shao Moli immediately turned and left.
Zhang Suran was so angry that she stomped her feet.
This was the first time Shao Moli had openly expressed her dissatisfaction.
This did not make Zhang Suran reflect on her actions at all; instead, she felt that she had lost face and was thinking about finding an opportunity to teach her a lesson.
The opportunity came the next day.
The villagers and relatives all gathered together, and then everything on the pickup truck was moved back.
The cook and his two assistants were also in place.
Some relatives will leave to join in the fun, but a few true friends will stay tonight to help out, because they need to start preparing for the birthday banquet at three or four in the morning and assist the cook.
Everyone ate the melon seeds and peanuts that Shao Wanwan and Shao Moli had bought, chatting away, and praising Su Ran for being sensible and filial.
While accepting the praise with a smug look, Zhang Suran glanced at Shao Moli.
Shao Guanghua went to a construction site in another city, so everyone's attention was focused on her today, which greatly satisfied her vanity.
Zhang Suran was so pleased with herself that she forgot herself.
Shao Wanwan immediately sensed something was wrong and gave Shao Moli a wink.
I was just about to find an excuse to pull Zhang Suran away.
Zhang Suran stood up excitedly and said, "I've been too busy to come back home these past few years. My mother has been taken care of by all of you folks and uncles. So Guanghua and I discussed it and decided that this time we'll treat everyone to a good meal and not accept any gifts."
Depend on!
really!
Zhang Suran resorts to underhanded tactics.
Yesterday, she had a conflict with Shao Moli, and Shao Wanwan had already sensed that something was wrong.
If Shao Moli hadn't been involved in organizing the banquet, Zhang Suran might not have ended up like this.
After all, Zhang Suran wouldn't dare to openly scheme against Shao Wanwan.
However, Zhang Suran felt that since the money was borrowed by Shao Moli, it would be paid back by Shao Moli anyway. So she might as well gain a good reputation, since Shao Moli would pay it back slowly anyway.
She knew that Shao Moli was working.
Moreover, Shao Moli loved her grandmother so much that she would never dare to say anything in order not to upset her grandmother.
The money spent on hiring a cook, finding a dragon and lion dance troupe, and buying vegetables and meat has all been paid for with the money Shao Moli sent back.
They weren't afraid that Shao Moli might change her mind.
Shao Moli never expected Zhang Suran to go to such lengths. She was not even twenty years old yet, still young, and she was so angry that she almost fell off the stool.
Shao Wanwan immediately helped her up.
Then they found an excuse to get her to leave.
"How could she do this? How could she do this?" Shao Moli was clearly provoked and kept repeating this sentence.
Shao Moli was taught so well by her grandmother that even in such an extreme situation, she could only repeat herself in anger.
She never expected Zhang Suran to pull this stunt on her.
Shao Moli could only shed tears of grievance.
Jiang Zheyuan had dealt with Zhang Suran many times in his previous life, and he was extremely surprised by this incident.
He underestimated his mother-in-law.
Shao Moli has never seemed like her biological daughter, and today seems to have added solid evidence to that claim.
However, he lived his entire life in his previous life before being reborn, so he could be certain that although she didn't look like his biological daughter, Zhang Suran was indeed Shao Moli's mother.
Jiang Zheyuan didn't really care about this money.
He didn't want the two of them to pay back the money anyway, so he considered it a way to show filial piety to his grandmother.
But this is no longer about money; Zhang Suran's actions have definitely hurt Shao Moli.
She was even planning to use the money from the wedding gift to get her grandmother a hearing aid!
Moreover, over the years, my grandmother has never held a birthday banquet, but she has given money as a gift whenever she attends other people's birthday banquets. She saved all of this money by living frugally.
Human relationships are a two-way street, and now that Zhang Suran has shrugged off as the good guy, Shao Moli must feel extremely wronged.
Tomorrow is my grandmother's birthday banquet.
Shao Wanwan felt that she should first calm Shao Moli down and then discuss other matters in a more detailed manner.
“I’ll talk to Mom. If she’s going to give gifts, she’ll have to pay half the bill, and we’ll figure out the other half together. As for Grandma’s hearing aid, we’ll take out a loan to buy it first, and then work to pay it off slowly. We’ll find a way. Don’t worry, and don’t let Grandma suspect anything. It’ll make her uncomfortable.”
