Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 227: Money is everything
"Don't worry, cousin. We go to pay respects to our grandmother at Yingchun Hall every day. We will definitely not go wrong and will arrive soon."

Xiao Lixia explained in a good-tempered manner that his eleventh sister had just told him quietly that this cousin had a problem with her brain.

At first he didn't believe it, but now he really believed it, so Xiao Lixia jogged to distance himself from the mentally ill person.

Unfortunately, his short legs were no match for the furious Fan Shiliu, and he was unable to shake off Fan Shiliu even after running for a long distance.

The reason why Fan Shiliu followed him so closely was that she thought the kid in front was deliberately taking a detour to get rid of her, which was the thing she could not tolerate the most.

Fortunately, they arrived at Yingchun Hall soon. Xiao Lixia, who was running out of breath, bent over and stuck out her tongue.

After taking a deep breath, he pointed at Yingchun Hall and said, "Cousin...sister...Yingchun Hall is in front, you can go in by yourselves."

Fan Shiliu also heard the laughter in Yingchun Hall, so he walked towards the gate of the courtyard without caring whether Xiao Lixia was tired or not.

The old lady of the Xiao family, her brothers and sisters, and two daughters and their sons-in-law.

The elders from the two daughters' in-laws' families, as well as the elders from the in-laws' families of the three married granddaughters, sat in the largest reception room in Yingchun Hall to have their meal.

The old men and old ladies did not sit separately, but they did sit at separate tables.

Everyone can hear people talking in a hall, but their voices are a little louder than usual.

The largest hall in Yingchun Hall could only accommodate six tables, so the nephews and grandchildren of the Xia family and the children of the two daughters of the Xiao family all went to Ziteng Garden to be with the young people.

By the way, it also gives them the opportunity to get to know some noble ladies and gentlemen, which is a rare opportunity that only comes once in a century.

As soon as Fan Shiliu entered the hall, she saw an old lady who was younger than her grandmother sitting in the main seat.

Her face was like a silver plate, white and round, her eyebrows were naturally relaxed, her eyes were slender and exceptionally bright, and she was very well maintained.

No matter how well she takes care of herself, she can still be seen to be over fifty, but it is still possible to tell that she must have been a stunning beauty when she was young.

And she looked 50% like her mother. Fan Shiliu stood at the door and gathered his emotions, "Grandmother~Mother~"

"Sister Ting, what's wrong with your face?" Mrs. Fan asked with concern when she saw that half of her daughter's face was swollen.

"Grandma, you have to make the decision for me... wuwu... The Shen family's playboys bully people for no reason."

Fan Shiliu started to sob softly as she spoke. Normally, she loved to act innocent and weak to attract sympathy.

When her grandmother saw her crying, she would stand up for her because her grandmother was the ancestor of the Fan family.

As long as her grandmother wanted to punish someone, no one in the Fan family dared to object. It could be said that her grandmother's words were like the emperor's edict to the Fan family.

Fan Shiliu thought that her grandmother was the same as her own grandmother, and that all the Xiao family members had to obey her without reason.

But what she didn't know was that the old lady of the Xiao family was just an ordinary grandmother in the Xiao family.

The Xiao brothers and sisters respected her, but they were not afraid of her at all.

Because her two sons were incompetent and had made no achievements in the court. How much dignity could a penniless person have at home?
The children respected them only because they were their grandmother and father. The Xiao brothers and sisters would respect them, but their words had no weight.

The old lady of the Fan family has two promising sons, one is a marquis and the other is a general. She can gain status as a mother by relying on her sons.

Moreover, the old lady of the Fan family had a generous dowry, and her third son and eldest grandson often made contributions, so the emperor would reward her from time to time.

She not only had a lot of silver but also rare treasures, so she was the ancestor in the Fan Mansion, and her descendants were willing to listen to her and get benefits.

No matter which dynasty, the rich are the masters, and the poor can only be the grandsons no matter where they are.

The old lady of the Xiao family's dowry was not generous to begin with, and it had long been emptied out when raising children and servants.

She has no money and no say. Besides, she has many grandchildren, and this granddaughter is the first time she has seen her, so how can she have any feelings for her?

So she said calmly: "Sister Ting, if you are being bullied, why don't you go find your cousin's wife?"

She doesn't want a granddaughter who comes here to disturb her and show off and wants to ruin her show.

"........."

Fan Shiliu was stunned. He didn't expect that his trick of acting pitiful, which made him so successful in the Fan Mansion, had failed.

She didn't know whether to cry or not to cry. She stood there awkwardly, at a loss as to what to do. Then she turned to look at her mother.

"Sister Ting, mother will take you to seek justice from your eldest cousin's wife now." Mrs. Fan said as she stood up and pulled her daughter.

But Fan Shiliu pushed her away and said, "Mother, what do you mean by this? Not only do you not help me beg my grandmother, but you also want to drag me away!"

"Sister Ting, listen to your mother. Let's go find your cousin's wife now." Mrs. Fan was very patient with her daughter.

She hadn't been back to her parents' home for twenty years, and she and her mother seldom attended parties, so they hadn't seen each other for twenty years.

But mother and daughter are blood relatives after all, so there was not much barrier between them when they met again, and her mother never blamed her.

While they were having dinner just now, he had specifically told her about the Xiao family's recent situation. She learned that the Emperor had brought the fifth prince to the Marquis' Mansion to visit his eldest nephew.

Her eldest nephew only has his wife in his heart and eyes. If she takes her daughter to find his nephew's wife, she might have an adventure.

Unfortunately, Fan Shiliu had no tacit understanding with her mother and did not understand her mother's intentions.

Because she only knew how to please her grandmother since she was a child, and she was somewhat disgusted with her father and mother.

“Wuwu…Grandma, if you are unwilling to help me, then I will go back to the mansion to find my grandmother and seek justice from the Shen family.”

Fan Shiliu said this while crying, and at this moment she also thought of the long relationship between her grandmother and her maternal grandmother.

Whenever her grandmother heard any bad news about the old lady of the Xiao family, she would be happy to eat an extra bowl of rice.

If her grandmother heard any good news about the old lady of the Xiao family, she would sneer at it, and sometimes even curse at her in front of her.

Fan Shiliu thought that after she said this, her grandmother would become as competitive as her grandmother and would immediately go and cause trouble for Shen Wanku.

But her grandmother said calmly: "Your grandmother is really amazing, so go back and find your grandmother now!"

"........."

Fan Shiliu's hands and feet suddenly turned cold, like a body without temperature.

She stood there in a daze, completely enveloped in a huge panic. It was over, all over.

After all, she was just a girl who had just come of age. How could she bear such indifference? Tears of grievance instantly filled her eyes.

She looked like a little white flower swaying stubbornly in the wind, with a tear hanging at the corner of her eye, about to fall.

This appearance actually aroused sympathy among many old ladies.

"Sister Xiao, let's go find Patriarch Shen and ask him why his son beat Miss Fan."

"Yes, let's go find him now."
