Chapter 387 - Gullible Sister-in-law

The old lady was immediately angered when she heard what the steward said.
She said, "I brought this girl here, why are you questioning us? According to your First Young Lady's rules, you must treat her well! I'm already so old, how many more days can I live? Do you think I'd be able to live forever after eating grains and vegetables?!"
The steward was quite calm on the surface, but when he heard that, he was deep in thought.
"According to the First Young Lady's rules? I'm afraid that's even more impossible. The money on the account is scarce, and the food the First Young Lady needs to eat every day is too complicated. Even our kitchen can't cook that. The small kitchen belongs to the First Young Lady's servant, so we can't order her around," after the steward finished speaking, he added, "I believe that Old Madam does not know what to do either. Since that's the case, I will check with the First Young Lady."
With that, the steward left.
When the old lady saw that, she was so angry that she slapped her thigh.
"This darn girl, she knew how to put on an act before, and now she's being high and mighty!" The old lady gritted her teeth, "She really has no manners. When she was born, I was not there. If I was there, I would've strangled her to death! Now there's this scourge left behind!"
Jia Huan listened and felt envious.
"This First Young Lady's life is really good. She can eat whatever she wants, and even the steward listens to her," Jia Huan looked outside, "But girls must get married. After they get married, if they live with the in-laws and they're tortured, how could they still be strong-willed?"
"Hearing what you said, is there a suitable family for her?" The old lady asked.
"Grandma Xie, I'm just saying. Who do I know who is willing to marry this young lady? Aren't all the girls in our village the same? No matter how much they're pampered at home, they have to be sensible when they marry," Jia Huan said matter-of-factly.
The old lady listened and let out a deep breath.
Get married? Who knew when she would be able to get married.
She had even heard that her health was lacking. It would be bad luck if she died at home.
The steward immediately went to look for Xie Qiao.
When he saw Xie Qiao, he told him about the old lady and Jia Huan's situation.
"First Young Lady, I was thinking, since she doesn't like you, why did she bring her over? Your body isn't in good shape. What if something bad happens to you? How would that be good?" The steward was worried.
Xie Qiao did not care much, "Some people just never learn. I'll take advantage since my Father is resenting them to make them suffer a little."
"But your reputation..." The steward hesitated.
"It's fine. I won't do anything to her," Xie Qiao smiled.
The steward did not believe her.
Xie Qiao put down the things in her hands, turned around and went back to the house to change her clothes. Then, she went to greet the old lady.
She was serious and had a pure filial expression. She looked well-behaved, as if she was very close to the old lady.
The old lady had never thought that she would come over.
She was scolding her at the top of her voice when someone stood outside the door.
"Grandmother, are you tired from scolding me? Take a sip of tea and rest," Xie Qiao said as she personally went forward and brought a cup of tea to the old lady.
She was respectful and polite. She did not look like she was insensible at all.
It was the first time Jia Huan saw Xie Qiao. She was a little puzzled.
Her? The eldest daughter of the Xie family?
She looked like... a weak and useless person no matter what?
She looked timid. What was there for the old lady to be angry about?
Jia Huan thought that she was going to marry Xie Pinggang in the future. The person in front of her was her sister-in-law.
Forget it that she was a difficult person to deal with, but from the looks of it, she was really gullible.
She quickly went forward and grabbed Xie Qiao's hand with a smile, "You are Sister Xie, right? My name is Jia Huan.. I followed Grandma Xie here to visit. Thank you for taking care of me!"
