Grandma Xuan doesn’t usually like to wear these things, but her granddaughter bought them for her with the money earned from her first salary. Normally, she would just keep them as heirlooms in a jewelry box. She even takes them out every day and wipes them carefully to keep dust from settling.

However in front of her ‘enemies’, she wanted to suppress them.

From getting off the car to entering the house, the old lady didn’t even look at the villagers whose eyes looked like they would pop out, upon realizing who she was. She leaned on her cane, and was held by her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, as she led Sanya into the Village Chief’s house.

The figure of three people and one dog left the crowd at the gate of the Village Chief’s yard. A moment later, the villagers who had quieted down reacted.

“The person just now. She’s… Old Lady Xuan!”

“That is Xuan Lele, right?!”

“Why are they with the big boss? No, and the way that boss looked. It looked as if he was currying favor with them.”

“I thought the old lady of the Xuan family had disappeared. It turns out she left to enjoy her blessings. No… What is going on here?”

Some people in the crowd talked in succession, and some women recalled the jewelry hanging on Grandma Xuan just now. Their eyes showed envy for a while and jealousy next.

She was so old, and they were much younger, but they could never dress up like that. It would be nice if these necklaces and earrings were on them instead.

The people here still remembered Grandma Xuan as the gloomy old lady who was once isolated by the whole village. Her back was always bent whenever she walked and worked in the fields. No one in the village spoke to her, and her body always smelled like old people.

The village always treated the old lady, who had only one granddaughter left, with a condescending attitude.

After all, they were having it so much better than this person, who has one foot in the grave, whether it was family circumstances or anything else.

But now, this old lady, whom they once looked down upon as they laughed at her and even bullied, had come back in such an elegant manner.

Riding a car that anyone can tell was expensive at first glance, wearing clothes that they can’t afford to buy and even having such beautiful jewelry. The person they desperately wanted to curry favor with was just like an obedient grandchild, holding the hand of the person that they once didn’t even bother to look at.

How?! How was it possible!?

The villagers didn’t know what they should do now, and they didn’t dare to enter the house. Thus, they stayed outside, women whispering about how much Grandma Xuan had to pay for those things, while the men frowned and pondered whether this would have any impact on their village.

Not long after, Wei Mingyan came out. He looked like he was going to go get something from the car. When people saw that Grandma Xuan, who they bullied before, didn’t come out with him, some grew the nerve to ask.

“Boss, what’s your relationship with the old lady just now?”

Knowing full well what they were asking, looking at the village people with twinkling eyes in front of him, Wei Mingyan showed a pure smile. “That is my wife’s grandmother, that is, my grandmother-in-law, I heard that she once lived in your village too. The Village Chief helped her a lot, so we came back to visit.”

Wife??

Xuan Lele? That little girl??

The man who asked was almost scared silly. In fact, when he saw Xuan Lele just now, people would more or less have some doubts. But now that he confirmed it directly, it undoubtedly made the villagers feel guilty.
