“Was my son informed about this?”
When Mr. Xu heard the words coming out of his third daughter-in-law’s mouth, his face looked grim. Although the Xu family wasn’t rich, they didn’t want their son to become a live-in son-in-law.
“Father, he is always busy studying. As for trivial matters like these, I can take care of them myself. There’s no need to trouble my husband with this,” Wang casually replied.
As Mr. Xu looked at this daughter-in-law of his, who was well-mannered when she had first arrived, he had mixed feelings.
A man should definitely marry someone from a lower class, while a woman should be married to someone of a higher class!
How could he have been so oblivious and agree to this marriage?
“Father, if there’s nothing else to discuss, I would like to pack my things. I will be going to the county tomorrow morning to meet my husband!”
Wang noticed that Mr. Xu had nothing else to say, so she was over the moon. It was a joke that this poor, country man thought that he could control her.
“Dear!”
Just as Mr. Xu was flustered, left with no idea how to face his daughter-in-law, a voice came from inside the room.
It was the voice of Mrs. Xu, who was the star of this matter.
As her voice was heard from the outside, everyone in the courtyard trembled; even Wang, who had been arrogant in front of Mr. Xu, couldn’t help but shiver.
In the Xu family, it appeared that old Mr. Xu was the one who made the calls. However, the truth was that Mrs. Xu was actually the one who finalized all the decisions.
Wang may be rude to everyone else, but she was still afraid of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xu.
After all, it was really inappropriate for Mr. Xu, as her father-in-law, to be lecturing his daughter-in-law. Mrs. Xu, who was her mother-in-law, should be the one doing it instead.
A short while after hearing Mrs. Xu’s voice, the door opened, and she stepped out of her room.
Even though she was already a grandmother, she was actually only in her forties, and after meeting her personally, some might even say that she looked as if she was in her thirties.
The Xu family may not be extremely rich, but they were still above average, able to afford to send their sons to school.
As they didn’t have any financial problems and she didn’t have much to worry about in terms of the household, Mrs. Xu lived a comfortable life.
Since life was comfortable and very much smooth sailing, naturally she wouldn’t age that quickly.
In fact, Mrs. Xu wasn’t the only one who looked young; even her husband, Mr. Xu, looked much younger than his actual age.
The reason why Wang’s father chose the Xu family as his in-laws was mainly because of their family’s condition and reputation. However, his own daughter, Wang, was not smart enough to understand her father’s intentions.
This included the house in the county that she had just mentioned. It was actually something that Wang had asked for from her father.
At the moment, Wang was playing both sides. She told one side of the story to her father and then another to Mr. Xu.
As Mrs. Xu stepped into the courtyard, her eyes swept across Wang’s face, causing goosebumps to break out all over Wang’s body.
All the happiness that Wang had been feeling died as she quietly greeted Mrs. Xu along with the others, “Mother!”
Mrs. Xu sneered and said, “Wife of the youngest, what was it that you were talking about? A house in the county?”
Mrs. Xu was definitely one of a kind, as she could still be in control, even with the presence of her husband.
While Mr. Xu was still angry about Wang’s ignorance and did not know what to do, Mrs. Xu had already shed all pretenses and went straight to the point.
“You can say whatever you want now but I’ll get my son to go over and confirm it with your father.”
Mrs. Xu had only just started the conversation, but Wang already began to panic.
