“That…” Xun Hui tugged at the corner of her mouth.
“Hurry up, mother.” Sanni despised the people of the old Yang Family ho, so even though Yang Peili was an elder, she had no intention of addressing him, let alone that their relationship had been severed, turning him into a stranger.
Therefore, she kept urging Xun Hui on as she did not want her mother to have any contact with the people of the old Yang Family ho.
“Alright.” Xun Hui opened her mouth as if to speak, looking at Yang Peili, but ultimately the word “father” failed to leave her lips.
She picked up a basin of freshly cut raw at and turned to walk away.
Yang Peili had not intended to co here, but the atmosphere at ho was so stifling.
Not even his grandson becoming a Scholar had brought him any joy, especially with his wife and daughter-in-law’s incessant quarrels adding to his irritability, forcing him to step out for a breath of fresh air, leading him unwittingly to this place.
He had actually been standing at a distance for quite so ti, and had witnessed the commotion of Wang Hehua’s pregnancy, as well as the respect everyone showed to his eldest granddaughter.
It made him feel particularly uncomfortable inside; how had this wooden granddaughter beco like this?
Of course, what made him even more uncomfortable was the current state of the old Yang Family ho.
Watching Xun Hui, his feelings were complicated.
She used to be within his control, always bowing her head, but now, she was surrounded by people and speaking to them…
He had not planned to approach, but the at slled so good, and it had been a long ti since he had enjoyed at to his fill.
Unconsciously, he had walked over, only to find that his granddaughter acted as if she hadn’t seen him, and his daughter-in-law did the sa, which made him feel both embarrassed and angry; yet, he did not know where to direct his frustration.
So villagers saw him and began to tease.
“Uncle Peili, ca for the at, huh?
It slls delicious…”
“Old brother, co sit over here.
Your granddaughter is really capable, our village is going to get rich following Xinxin…”
“Lord Uncle, should I get you a stool?
The at on this table was just served…”
Yang Peili looked at the people around him with an awkward attempt at a smile but did not know what to say.
anwhile, Xun Hui had approached Yang Ruxin, “Xinxin, your grandpa…
he…”
Yang Ruxin looked up at Xun Hui, “My grandfather passed away a long ti ago.” She had never t her grandparents in modern society, so Yang Peili and his wife didn’t count for much.
Xun Hui’s facial expression beca sowhat unpleasant, yet she dared not say anything.
“This place is for welcoming the villagers; as long as they co, I will entertain them.” Yang Ruxin spoke indifferently.
She had seen Yang Peili a long ti ago but chose to ignore him, “And you, there’s no need for you to busy yourself, sit down and have sothing to eat.”
Xun Hui remained standing.
Yang Ruxin frowned but didn’t address her again, simply turning to take her seat; if she wished to stand, then stand she might.
“Xinxin…” However, Xun Hui was still sowhat unwilling to let it go.
“If you want to eat, eat; if not, go back.
If you’re suggesting that I should attend to the people from the old Yang Family ho, you might as well save your breath and spare the irritation,” Yang Ruxin snapped angrily, slamming her hand on the table, “If you feel uncomfortable, then return to your old Yang Family ho and be their slave…”
