Chapter 2190: Chapter 2190: Innocent Words of a Child
Su Yunjin was at a loss for words when Xiaoshan suddenly tugged at Mrs. An’s sleeve.
"Grandma, I’m hungry. When are we going back to eat?" Xiaoshan had come along with Mrs. An to Su Yunjin’s house without having breakfast.
At this moment, Xiaoshan’s stomach was growling with hunger.
As soon as Mrs. An heard this, she immediately looked at Su Yunjin, "Third son’s wife, your niece and nephew are hungry, why don’t you quickly have the servants bring some food?"
Mrs. An ordered around as if she were the head of the household.
Aunt Bao was somewhat displeased, but Su Yunjin gave her a look, implying Aunt Bao should get some food, "There should still be a few plates of buns left from this morning in the kitchen, go bring them over!" Xiaoshan and Xiangxiang were both kids and pitiful; their mother ran away, and their father was a gambler. Right now, both kids were hungry, so Su Yunjin didn’t argue with Mrs. An. Getting the kids fed was more important.
"Be good, Xiaoshan. Your third aunt has already had someone bring food, you’ll be full soon!" Mrs. An bent down to comfort her grandson and then her granddaughter.
Xiangxiang looked up at Mrs. An, "Grandma, is it true that my brother and I will also live with third aunt?" Third aunt’s house was so big, so beautiful. Xiangxiang liked living here. She heard from the village women that third aunt’s family was very wealthy, living in her house meant eating well and wearing fine clothes.
When Xiangxiang had gone to the market in town, she saw the young ladies there. Those town girls wore pretty dresses, adorned with beautiful jewelry, and were very proud. They even had servants and maids attending to them!
She also wanted to be like those town girls, eating well and dressing finely. Mrs. An told Xiangxiang she would bring her to live at third uncle’s house in the future.
After moving in, she would be the legitimate young lady of the household, able to eat well, dress finely, and have servants serve her.
Though young, Xiangxiang dreamed of living a good life.
Mrs. An said she would bring her to live at third uncle’s house, and Xiangxiang couldn’t wait to move immediately, hoping that they wouldn’t have to leave after coming today.
Being young and tactless, Xiangxiang directly blurted out Mrs. An’s plans and intentions. Mrs. An felt a bit embarrassed.
"Little kids, what nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. An pulled Xiangxiang, telling her not to speak carelessly. Xiangxiang was indignant and blurted out everything Mrs. An had privately told her, "Grandma, didn’t you say you’d bring my brother and me to live with third aunt? You also said when you’re in charge, third aunt and third uncle will have to listen to you. You said that my brother and I will be the young lady and young master of the house, and we would have shares in third uncle’s winery and shops, just like little Yuanbao and the others!"
The more Xiangxiang spoke, the paler Mrs. An’s face became. Su Yunjin’s face darkened, watching Mrs. An guilt-tripping, "Mother, did you say all this?"
"No, no, no, I didn’t, it’s not that, third son’s wife, don’t misunderstand." Mrs. An repeatedly denied it. It was not the right time; even though she dreamed of controlling the household’s power, Su Yunjin would not hand it over to her, especially with her son, Gu Ya, not at home.
If Su Yunjin found out her intentions now, wouldn’t she be even less likely to allow her to live in the house in the future?
Feeling guilty, Mrs. An refused to admit it, yet Xiangxiang wanted to speak, but Mrs. An quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"Little kids, only talk nonsense, how have I taught you? How can you have no manners?"
