"Who could have imagined, he turned out to be such a person!" Lady Zhang also remarked emotionally, "This actually reminds of Old Master Lian. When the master was alive, it seed like he didn’t get along with him, right?"
What Lady Zhang said made Lian Shouxin recall the words that Old Master Lian had spoken to him before his death.
"Yes." Lian Shouxin nodded, "Old Master was very prideful. He didn’t get along well with the Old Shang Family in his heart, but on the surface, he still kept appearance. As soon as they arrived, the master would remind . Old Master never explained it in detail, probably had dealings in the past, knew the temperant of the Old Shang Family."
"The two elders are truly not respectable, but those two kids are different from them." Lady Zhang continued, "We all know Baorong, she’s warm-hearted, straightforward in talking and doing things, without any bad intentions. I hear her brother is also honest and kind."
"Baorong looks like her mother, but not in temperant. Baogen, both in appearance and temperant, is different from his parents." Lady Zhang said casually.
"The siblings are both good." Lian Shouxin nodded in agreent, "The na of a person, the shadow of a tree, everyone knows well what kind of person soone is. Their family, it’s called... called what, there’s such a saying..."
Lian Shouxin turned to seek help from the three children.
"... a good shoot grows from a bad bamboo." Lady Zhang laughed and said beside him. Bamboo doesn’t grow in Jinyang County, and Lady Zhang, born and raised here, hadn’t read much, didn’t know this saying. It was Mr. Loo who said it before, so Lady Zhang rembered it.
"Unstained though erging from the mud." At almost the sa ti, Xiao Qi also spoke.
Everyone laughed.
"What you said seed literary, but what our Xiao Qi said was the true literary expression." Lian Shouxin laughed.
"Sure thing," Lady Zhang would naturally not argue with Xiao Qi, she takes pride in Xiao Qi’s excellence. "And see whose son he is."
It was a rather self-satisfied statent, everyone laughed again.
"That’s why they say children take after their roots, but sotis that’s not always true." After laughing for a while, Lian Shouxin continued.
"Indeed." Lady Zhang agreed deeply with Lian Shouxin’s words, "Take our family for instance, look at us two, not to say we’re entirely clumsy, but Wu Lang and Xiao Qi are quite clever in their studies. Even our Manman is smarter than us, if she were born as a son, she’d be just like Wu Lang and Xiao Qi now... though Zhizhi is a bit like us in terms of clumsiness."
"Mom, listen to what you’re saying. Where are you and dad clumsy? If both of you had the opportunity to study from a young age, you wouldn’t be like you are now. You both started learning to read and write at this age, of course it’s slower. Besides, my sister is not clumsy." Lian Manman laughed.
Wu Lang and Xiao Qi also laughed, saying Lady Zhang was too modest.
Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang laughed, knowing in their hearts, their own children have affection for them, hence on this topic, they fiercely defended them.
"Moreover," Lady Zhang thought of sothing, and said to the three children, "Back when the Old Master and Old Madam could argue fiercely, if the Old Madam cursed, she could go on for a day and night without stopping, and she wouldn’t run out of words. Now look at your dad, not to ntion cursing or fighting, if you let him say a bad word, he’d blush. You all don’t know how to curse or argue with people either."
Lian Manman, Wu Lang, and Xiao Qi nodded, what Lady Zhang said was true.
Because she ntioned Lady Zhou again, Lady Zhang couldn’t help but rember today’s events.
"Our family was all happy, I didn’t want to bring it up. But if I don’t talk about it, I have a bit of pent-up frustration inside." Lady Zhang said slowly, "Wu Lang is getting married, such a significant event, if the old lady still had a bit of human sentint, she wouldn’t be like today..."
"Saying she’s poor, has nothing to give. Who’s expecting her to give so gold, silver, or treasure? Even if she sewed a handkerchief, it would be her sincere contribution... can her heart sink so low."
"I thought my heart was already thoroughly hurt by her, but today it’s ice-cold once more. It’s fine if she doesn’t value , after all, I’m an outsider. She doesn’t care about Zhizhi, as she’s married off. But Wu Lang is the root of the Lian Family, her own grandson. She didn’t shy away from benefiting from Wu Lang, enjoying his advantages."
"How can she live like this! Speaking of this heartless one or that heartless one, who is really heartless!"
