Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife Chapter 552: The Beginning of the Counterattack (3)
There’s no doubt that Auntie Gu had heard sothing from soone and said to Nuannuan’s mother, "The boyfriend Nuannuan used to date, I heard they broke up. Initially, dad, mom, and I weren’t happy to hear about it. We thought how could the boy’s family be like that. But the reason they gave, they said, was because Nuannuan wouldn’t bring prosperity to her husband. Now, it’s said that Nuannuan’s new boyfriend just had his family go bankrupt—"
Nuannuan’s mother’s eyes widened like brass bells, "Who told you this? Was it that bastard from the Wa Family?!"
Truth be told, Nuannuan’s mother couldn’t care less whether her son-in-law Da Bai was down and out because his family had no money, but for the Wa Family to kick them while they were down, fabricate rumors, and continue to slander her daughter and son-in-law, wasn’t that going too far?
Auntie Gu was frightened by the anger on Nuannuan’s mother’s face, shrank her neck, and tried to soothe her, "I just heard it from soone; I don’t know whether it’s true or not. So, dad and mom told to co and ask you first, didn’t they?"
"Ask what?" Anger rose even more in Nuannuan’s mother as she burst out in rage, "When you go back, tell those two old folks that our family, yes, we were in debt, but we will never drag down those two elders. If Nuannuan’s husband is in debt, he will not drag them down either, absolutely not! Our whole family can swear a curse on it!"
The furious voice of Nuannuan’s mother drew a crowd of onlookers. Auntie Gu was so astonished that she felt she had lost face along with Nuannuan’s mother, and she started to bla her, "Nuannuan’s mom, why are you so angry? I didn’t say anything about you. You’re the one making wild guesses."
"I’m making wild guesses? If I were making wild guesses, why did those two old people send you over?" In her anger, Nuannuan’s mother couldn’t hold her tongue and wished she could put to death anyone who dared to insult her daughter and son-in-law.
As it happened, Grandma Gu had co over with Auntie Gu because the old lady, who was naturally suspicious, didn’t trust Auntie Gu to do things properly. Grandma Gu, hiding in the shadows and watching, had never expected Nuannuan’s mother to be so daring as to curse her mother-in-law in front of so many people in the market for being malicious.
Grandma Gu erged from the crowd with fury, stood beside Auntie Gu, and scoffed at Nuannuan’s mother, "What did you just say? Is there a problem with caring about my granddaughter’s future? If you had been a competent mother, would I need to worry about this? Why don’t you reflect on yourself first?"
Unexpectedly confronted by Grandma Gu, who had been hiding nearby, Nuannuan’s mother’s eyes widened in astonishnt, and then she turned them towards Auntie Gu. In that mont, she understood sothing.
Grandma Gu pointed her finger accusatorily at Nuannuan’s mother, "What’s the matter? Speechless now? Weren’t you just fiercely criticizing your mother-in-law and father-in-law? Why aren’t you saying anything now?"
"Mom—" Auntie Gu, as though trying to diate, pulled on Grandma Gu, "The third son’s wife was simply outspoken in the heat of the mont—"
"That’s right. She must always curse , this old hag, in her heart while pretending to be cautious about speaking out. Now, thinking I wasn’t present, she finally spilled her true feelings before others," Grandma Gu continued, a wave of bitter resentnt welling up as if she were settling both old and new scores, suddenly clutching her chest and saying, "I haven’t even brought up the matter of how you caused the death of my precious grandson—"
Nuannuan’s mother’s face turned deathly pale.
The crowd of onlookers surged like a tide. Wa’s mother, hidden among them, secretly curled her lips into a smile.
Wa Zicong was supposed to go for a job interview today but didn’t expect the interview leader to suddenly get busy and reschedule, so he had to go ho earlier. When he got ho, he was surprised to hear his mother humming a tune.
