“Second Aunt, don’t you gossip a lot too? You have a really long tongue,” Lan Anran said mockingly.
“Presumptuous! How dare you speak here? Don’t you have any respect for me? Yanshan is your aunt. Is that what your parents taught you? You have no manners!” Zhao Xiumei seized the opportunity and spoke angrily.
Lan Tingyun couldn’t endure it anymore and wanted to explain, but was stopped by Zhao Xiumei.
“Did I allow you to speak? Tingyun, why are you becoming so disrespectful?”
Lan Anran couldn’t understand, she had two sons but why was their treatment so different?
Sometimes she wondered if her father was Zhao Xiumei’s biological son. How else could she treat him so harshly?
Lan Anran smiled.
“Grandma! It’s all my fault, please don’t blame Dad.”
Although it was an apology, Zhao Xiumei found it uncomfortable. She glanced up and when she saw Anran smile, she slapped the table fiercely.
“You insolent thing, you don’t deserve to speak here. As expected of a wild girl from the countryside, you have no manners. Let me make this clear, the Lan Family is not from the countryside, you will have to be respectful in both your words and your actions. If your parents didn’t teach you the rules, I will.”
Lan Yaxin watched the scene from behind triumphantly.
She never expected Lan Anran to have this day.
Scold her, continue to scold her, it’s best if you beat her to death.?
“Grandmother, you keep saying that I’m from the countryside, do you despise people from the countryside? Grandmother, the food that you eat, the clothes that you wear and the toilet paper you use are all made by people from the countryside. If you despise people from the countryside, don’t use those things,” Lan Anran retorted.
“You, country girl, how dare you rebut me!”
Zhao Xiumei’s angry eyes widened and she stomped her feet, pointing to Lan Anran while yelling, “You horrible girl! I won’t have a granddaughter like you… You, get out of here!” fre ewebn ovel
She pointed at Lan Anran’s nose and cursed.
Xu Yanshan who stood at the side was watching the show triumphantly. During this period, she couldn’t help pleading with Zhao Xiumei to show her good personality.
“Mom! Don’t be angry, Anran was being silly since she just saw you, forgive her.”
As the situation escalated, Lan Tingyun wanted to speak but was stopped by Lan Anran. She spoke calmly, “Grandma, am I wrong? You look down on people from the countryside, but you wear clothes they make and eat food that they cook. I am a country girl… I don’t know how I offended you or how I’ve made you upset. I know that you despise me because I’m from the countryside… But I want to say that the Lan Family rules are old and what you say may not always be right. There are also no laws that say I can’t tell the truth.”
“You… You shut up, you’re rebelling! You’re rebelling! I can’t even speak anymore. Yanshan, Yaxin, look at this family, they are here to bully a widowed old lady.”
Zhao Xiumei was trembling with anger. She was just about to blow up and break into an earth-shattering cry, when Lan Anran interrupted her.
“Grandma, your actions right now look just like an old woman from the countryside. This is how old women from the countryside quarrel. Do you still dare to look down on people from the countryside? Grandma, don’t be angry.”
Lan Anran spoke in a gentle voice. Zhao Xiumei was so angry that her face turned dark red and a bunch of words got choked up in her throat.
Lan Yanran looked at his sister in surprise and admiration. She said what he had always wanted to say to the old lady.
It was really refreshing to hear these words for the first time.
Lan Anran sat upright and didn’t seem the least guilty or apologetic.
“Oh my goodness! Is this really what I have for a granddaughter?”
Zhao Xiumei was so angry that she could only say these few words.
