Chapter 36 Do you want this blessing?
"You bullshit!"
Everyone knows how to disgust others. Tangning swayed with pride.
Shen Xiu's delicate little eyes turned red as she looked at her angrily.
Then, as if thinking of something happy, his tone became a little gloating:
"I won't argue with you about this. My parents asked you to go over quickly because they said there's some great news."
After saying that, Shen Xiuxiu raised her chin high and walked out. When she passed by the courtyard gate, she kicked it hard.
Unexpectedly, it hit the courtyard wall, bounced back, and hit Shen Xiuxiu directly. She was so scared that her face changed and she screamed.
"I've told you so much, don't play, don't play, but you just won't listen, ah!"
Tang Ning stretched comfortably, ready to go see what big happy event the Shen family had, and stopped Shen Lianzhi from going home to paint the door panels.
At the gate of Shen's courtyard, a carriage was parked at the door, with a coachman sitting in the carriage. Villagers rarely saw carriages, and some had never been to the town since they were born.
This attracted many children to peek in.
"Mrs. Scholar, who has come to your house? Why are you so impressive?"
"I don't know. I just got here too."
Tang Ning was also curious, but the carriage looked familiar. Why did it seem to belong to her step-uncle?
Could it be her aunt? Her aunt is not an easy person to get along with.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw an uninvited guest.
"Mom, why are you here?"
The original owner's family was very strange. Compared with the Shen family, their conditions were considered the best.
Her uncle was the magistrate of Chu County. He was not a capable man, but he was lucky to have a good father-in-law who promoted him.
Her biological father was a poor scholar. The reason why he was called poor was that he was really poor and liked to say sour words.
On the day the original owner returned home, Tang's father drank two glasses of wine and complained about the unfairness of fate.
He said how difficult it was for him to take the scientific examination, and how easy it is now.
He was impressed that his son-in-law was already a scholar at such a young age. He discussed books and had debates with him, and in the end, the two of them almost came to a fight.
Tang's father insisted on his theory, and Shen Lianzhi refused to give in. In the end, they threatened to never have any further contact with each other.
Shen Lianzhi was so angry that he kept saying on the way back that it was an insult to society and that it was no wonder that Tang's father failed the exam three times because he had no knowledge at all.
As for Tang's mother, it's hard to describe her in words.
In the original owner's memory, Mother Tang was standing at the door waiting for her. When she saw her come in, she flicked her handkerchief and looked at her with disgust:
"Why am I here? If you don't come, our Tang family will lose face."
Hearing this, Tang Ning didn't get angry. Instead, she carefully looked at the original owner's mother in front of her.
Tang's mother was only in her early thirties. She was dressed in a white dress, simple and elegant, with pearl flowers swaying in her hair. Since she didn't have to do any heavy work, she looked younger than her daughter.
"I don't know when I will be able to make my mother think so highly of me and bring honor to the Tang family."
The original owner's stubborn personality couldn't even stand her mother, let alone her.
Tang's mother's face suddenly turned ugly, her eyebrows raised, and her already high forehead became even more fierce.
The voice also became sharp, afraid that the Shen family would hear it, and scolded her in a low voice:
"Look at you, you look so miserable, how can you be compared to your cousin?
If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have found such a good husband. But you're jealous of your parents and trying to sow discord between your son-in-law and us."
Tang Ning instantly got angry. Originally, Shen Lianzhi was chosen by her aunt and wanted to be introduced to the original owner's cousin.
Unexpectedly, Tang's mother found out about this and took over the blame, making it Tang Ning's turn.
The original owner refused to agree no matter what and was unwilling to snatch her cousin's marriage. In the end, it was Tang's mother who forced her to do so.
This was also the reason why Shen Lianzhi was turned away when he visited the original owner's uncle several times.
"Oh, good son-in-law, do you want this blessing?"
Seeing her sarcastic expression and her complete lack of respect for her mother, Tang's mother immediately became furious:
"Your father and I came to see you with good intentions, and this is your attitude?"
"Alright, come in quickly, don't let others make fun of you!"
Seeing that Tang Ning's words were getting increasingly out of control, Tang's father could no longer sit still. He gently took Tang Ning's rough hand and said with concern:
"Ningning has suffered!"
She is not suffering, but the original owner has a miserable life!
Regardless of whether she was the original owner or not, her parents' home hadn't come for such a long time, and when they came, they almost had a quarrel at the door. Which in-laws would give their daughter-in-law a good face?
Old Lady Shen, who was originally leaning on the chair, suddenly sat up straight and looked at the Tang family with contempt.
"Why did you ask me to come here? You even asked my parents to come here."
Tangning found a chair and sat down, leaning sideways. Her father stared at her, his eyes wide open.
"Tangning, is this what your father taught you? Where are your manners? Hurry and show your respect to your elders."
"Huh, manners? She still has that thing, I'm afraid it will be eaten by the dog after it is added to my house."
Old Lady Shen was filled with rage and didn't give Tang's father any face at all.
"Mother-in-law, it's not right to say such things casually. Ningning, apologize to your mother-in-law!"
Tang Ning said nothing, her butt seemingly stuck to the chair, not moving.
Old Lady Shen sneered, frowned exaggeratedly, and revealed her swollen and blue cheeks:
"I dare not. I can't bear it. Don't apologize now. You can slap me twice later."
It seems that I didn't fan him lightly enough. He was able to speak fluently again in just one night.
"In that case, I won't be polite to my mother-in-law. We're family, why should I apologize?"
Tang Ning continued to sit there calmly, ignoring the elders around him who had changed their expressions.
Mrs. Shen was about to get angry, but when she thought of what she was going to say next, she gave up the idea and said with a smile:
"I just like Ningning's carefree and easygoing demeanor. I invited my in-laws here today to discuss something. I asked my eldest daughter-in-law to cook a few dishes, and we can eat and chat at the same time."
Did he take the wrong medicine? Tangning glanced suspiciously at Mother Shen and the silent Shen family members.
Especially Shen Lianzhi, who usually jumped around the most happily, just kept his head down and didn't say a word.
Something is wrong, this is very wrong!
I decided to let her not eat a single bite of the food later, in case he was planning to drug her.
"Ningning, go help your sister-in-law first, and we'll catch up later."
Tang's mother patted her arm gently and motioned her to go to work first.
Help? Impossible!
Tangning hugged her mother's arm.
"But I haven't seen my mother for a long time. I want to chat with her."
Tang's mother's face looked grim, and the arm that Tang Ning was holding was extremely stiff.
Tang Ning sneered inwardly. She was expected to work herself to death cooking for such a large family. That was impossible. She was dreaming!
"No need. Ningning comes to my house to enjoy herself, not to work. We can't afford her."
Old Lady Shen talked too much, covering her mouth and drooling, but if she didn't say anything, she felt like she would suffocate to death.
"What's wrong with my in-laws' face? Is it because of the dry weather that you're getting irritated?"
As Tang's mother said this, she looked at Old Man Shen with disdain. How could such a grown man beat his wife?
But this woman has such a foul mouth, she really deserves a beating.
