Yuannan Mansion was very lively on New Year's Eve. The old lady's daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren all gathered together to celebrate the New Year with her.
The grandchildren are all very filial and came over in the afternoon.
Fu Nanli always felt that the old lady was looking at him vaguely. He pretended not to see her and sat on the sofa watching TV.
The old lady was originally some distance away from him, but she walked slowly past Ji Xianzheng and sat next to him. Fu Nanli raised the corners of his eyes slightly and pretended not to see it.
The old lady picked up an orange from the fruit bowl, and Fu Nanli took it and said, "I'll peel it for you."
The old lady wanted to say something but stopped herself. Fu Nanli peeled the orange, and then plucked the white silk threads on the orange petals with his slender fingers and placed them into his grandmother's palms.
The old lady finally caught the opportunity and asked casually, "Why don't you bring Xiao Wen over?"
Fu Nanli brushed his knees and said calmly: "Of course she wants to accompany her family."
The old lady ate a slice of orange and asked tentatively, "Child, are you not going to be serious with me?"
It’s no wonder she doesn’t want her family to see Xiao Wen.
Fu Nanli lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The old lady's heart sank. Was this a tacit agreement
After finally seeing a glimpse of his grandson's wife, this boy didn't intend to bring her home.
She was a little anxious: "Nan Li, your mother and I don't mind worldly things like family background. I think the girl is pretty. She is younger than you, but I like her personality. It doesn't matter if she is not the daughter of a powerful family. You don't have to worry about these..."
"Grandma..." Her grandson finally began to look her in the eye, "Isn't this your favorite host? Watching TV, huh?"
He didn't want to bring her back because he was worried that she would let the cat out of the bag, that her family would find out something, or that something might happen between them.
They like her now because they don't know anything yet and he knows his family best.
His mother and his grandmother are not the kind of people who despise the poor and love the rich. They are both people with real personalities and do not like people who use lies to get close to them.
He would take good care of his little girl until she could marry him.
The only thing he wanted now was to wait until she reached the legal age for marriage, get the marriage certificate directly, and then introduce her to his family.
After Fu Nanli's words came out, Ji Xianzheng and Chu Qingyou also looked confused.
Not taking it seriously
It doesn't look like it.
The old lady's heart was broken into pieces. She had thought she would soon have a great-grandson, but now seeing this boy's ambiguous attitude, she was really worried.
Then he glanced at his other two grandchildren. They were both quite old and strong, but they were not in a hurry to get married. He got angry and stood up, pretending to be angry: "Get up, all of you, you are just sitting around waiting for dinner, right? Don't you know how to help?"
Three confused faces
These three young masters are all served by servants at home. They are so proud that they are lazy and don't know the difference between grains.
Faced with the old lady's angry look, he could only stand up symbolically, walk to the kitchen, ask a few questions, and then was sent away by the servants.
Ye Minqiu and Ye Minchun came over arm in arm: "Mom, the card table is ready, come over and play mahjong."
"You just know how to play, you are already so grown up."
Ye Minqiu:
Ye Minchun:?
Everyone in the mansion was under the old lady's inexplicable barrage of attacks.
The culprit, Mr. Fu, crossed his legs and continued watching TV as if no one was around.
