Old Granny Ye looked at the family of three, her smile was like the Buddha in the Buddhist shrine, “It’s been hard on you all to come during such stormy weather, I was worried something might have happened along the way. I’ve been chanting the Buddhist scriptures for a while, begging the Buddha to bless you all coming over safety.”
As she spoke, she closed her eyes, placed her palms together, and chanted ‘Amitabha.’
At that moment, she pulled Ye Ying’s hand and repeatedly sighed, “I know you all are filial, but you can’t bring a child along and take a risk if anything happens, and the child is hurt, you husband and wife would regret it.”
It sounded like she was really thinking on behalf of Ye Zifan’s family of three. Still, if listened carefully, it seemed like she did not allow the family of three to come over, they insisted on coming in the act of filial piety, if anything happened, it would not have anything to do with the old woman.
Ye Ying felt as if a snake had tangled her hand, and it was icy cold without the slightest warmth.
The smile on her face was a little stiff, but it was still pretty and graceful, she said intimately: “Granny, don’t you worry, my father drove steadily, the rain is a little heavy, but it’s fine as long as the car is driven slowly. Or else, we would not be delayed for so long before arriving.”
When those words were said out, Old Granny Ye couldn’t help but take another glance at Ye Ying, and her hand was held tightly as she said calmly: “The child has grown up, she even knows how to coax me.”
“You are my granny, who can I coax if not you?” Ye Ying smiled, she sat on the side of the bed and intimately placed her head on Old Granny Ye’s shoulder, it seemed like this grandmother and granddaughter really had a good relationship.
Sun Dongqing could not laugh along with her, and she was secretly gritting her teeth in hatred as she said without a smile: “Mother, look at what you’re saying. You’ve come, you even purposely asked sister-in-law to give us a call, you really picked the right time, it’s raining heavily. You’ve arrived, how can our family of three dare neglect you, we would still come even if the roads are flooding.”
“That one year when you returned, it was even snowing heavily, and the mountain was closed, Zifan had walked on the snowy road for a few hours once he knew. From then on, his knees would ache every time it was rainy, me as his wife even shed tears.”
“We haven’t met in a few years, but my second sister-in-law really knows how to speak. I didn’t know that my second sister-in-law is just as sharp-tongued as the eldest sister-in-law. It’s not surprising since you’re both sisters,” Ye Zhixiang smiled and answered, they had just met and are already confronting each other.
Ye Zifan greeted Old Granny Ye first before calmly saying: “Your second sister-in-law felt that younger sister was young and ignorant at that time, that’s why she gave in to you. Right now, you are almost forty years old, and if your second sister-in-law still gives in to you, other people will laugh at you.”
Heh, is he helping his wife to deal with this sister of his?
“Elder brother is really different after becoming a high ranking official, even putting on airs of an official in front of your younger sister. Mother, why don’t you say no matter how high ranking he is, he’s still a child in front of you,” Ye Zhixiang was not someone afraid of causing trouble, she directly brought up Old Granny Ye to suppress her elder brother’s arrogance.
What a tremendous official prestige! Two years ago, he did not even dare say such big words in front of her. But right now, just like what mother said, the higher his position, the more independent he has become.
Old Granny Ye persuaded the two children who were arguing with a smile on her face: “That’s enough, I know you siblings have a good relationship, always arguing at home in the past, it’s the same right now. As an elder brother, you should give in to your younger sister, that’s the way it should be.”
She then frowned and said: “Where’s Ye Jian? Why isn’t she here? Does this girl think she’s so precious, not paying a visit when her granny has arrived?”
