Liu Xiao was so blinded by jealousy today that she had actually forgotten about Xu Tian’s bad temper. She had really gone overboard today.
“How can you still have the cheek to speak! Don’t you know that Qiao Mei is my factory’s most important client! You provoke her today! Do you think she will still give me business in the future! Our entire family won’t be able to survive!” Xu Tian pointed at Liu Xiao and said angrily.
He turned to look at Xu Ba and said, “I’m sorry, Younger Brother. It’s all your sister-in-law’s fault today.”
Xu Tian did not dare to think about letting Xu Chun marry a member of the Xia family at all. With their family background, it was already good enough to be the Xia family’s acquaintances. Even though Xu Ba had a good job, it would still be very difficult for him to marry a young lady from a prominent family. Moreover, Xu Ba already had two children. Very few women would be willing to become a stepmother.
It was already a godsend blessing for Xu Ba to be able to get close to Li Gui! Xu Tian originally thought that Xu Ba would only be able to marry a mediocre woman, but who would have thought that he would be able to get so close to the Xia family!
If Xu Ba and Li Gui really got married, the Xu family would be able to move up from their current social status. As the saying went, if one achieved success, even one’s livestock would soar to the heavens. Xu Tian would also be able to share in the glory!
“They say that they want Sister-in-law to apologize to them,” Xu Ba said.
“Apologize? Why should I ” Liu Xiao immediately shut her mouth when she saw Xu Tian’s expression.
“You must apologize! I really don’t understand why you don’t like Li Gui! She’s good-looking! She’s outstandingly capable! Her children are outstanding! Her eldest daughter’s in-laws are from such a prominent family! It’s only with the blessings from our Xu family’s ancestors that someone related to such a family is willing to marry Xu Ba! If this matter is ruined because of you! I’ll beat you to death!” Xu Tian said angrily.
“Dad! Why aren’t you on our side! We’re your family members! Mom spoke up for me all because Qiao Mei slandered me!” Xu Chun said.
Xu Tian looked at Xu Chun coldly and said, “We all know whether she’s telling the truth or not! If not for the fact that you’re an unmarried young lady! I would have scolded you long ago! Get lost! Shameless thing!”
Xu Chun curled up pitifully in the corner. Although she was the eldest granddaughter of the family, she was also the least liked among the grandchildren. When she was young, she did not understand why Grandma doted on Xu Cai and not her.
Later on, she realized that it was because Grandma did not like her mother and extended that feeling of dislike to her.
Old Madam Xu always felt that her eldest son could have found a better wife. If not for Liu Xiao pestering her son back then, she would have found someone else to be her eldest daughter-in-law!
“Even if they have money, they won’t give it to us! They’re not fools!” Liu Xiao muttered softly.
“They may not want to give it to us, but do you think they won’t give it to Xu Ba?” Xu Tian looked at Liu Xiao with disdain, as if he was looking at a fool.
Xu Tian only wanted the Xu family to become prosperous and look good in front of others. He had never thought of spending Xu Ba’s money. He was already living a comfortable life now, so why would he want to spend his younger brother’s money?
“Eldest Uncle, are you agreeable to let that woman marry into the family?” Xu Cai said as she looked at Xu Tian in shock.
“Younger Sister! How can you say that! You should address her as Auntie Li!” Xu Hang said as he frowned and tugged at Xu Cai’s arm.
“How else should I say it! Didn’t you hear what they said at the end? They’re already bullying us, Elder Brother! Do you want to have this kind of stepmother!” Xu Cai shouted aggrievedly.
When Xu Cai was six years old, Xu Ba’s wife passed away. Xu Ba was usually very busy with work and Xu Cai was brought up by Xu Hang and Old Madam Xu. Xu Cai always listened to Xu Hang and Xu Hang doted on her a lot. Even Xu Hang’s classmates knew that Xu Hang was a “super doting brother” and no one could say anything bad about his younger sister.
“Xu Cai! You’re not a child anymore! Let the adults settle their own issues. Come into the room with me!” Xu Hang said.
Seeing that Xu Hang had a different opinion from her, Xu Cai quickly looked at Old Madam Xu and said, “Grandma, say something! I don’t want a stepmother! I don’t want such a woman to become my stepmother!”
Everyone stared at Old Madam Xu. She pondered for a moment and said, “That woman is not too bad. Her daughter is not bad either.”
“What? Grandma, are you confused!” Xu Cai said as she looked at Old Madam Xu in disbelief.
“I’m not senile yet! Xu Hang! Bring your sister into the room!” Old Madam Xu said.
Xu Hang dragged Xu Cai into the room. No matter how unwilling Xu Cai was, she had to accept reality. In the beginning, Old Madam Xu was still a little angry, but after thinking about it carefully, her anger had dissipated. She had thought it through and came to the conclusion that Xu Ba must marry Li Gui!
