168: I was impersonating you.
Wang Jiang and Wang He saw Xiao Niannian and happily ran over.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao He."
"Sister, you're back."
"Sister, we've finished all our homework. Yesterday, we even went to the back mountain to catch Wild Chickens and rabbits..."
Xiao Niannian patted their shoulders, praising them with a smile.
"That's great."
Hearing their sister's praise, Wang Jiang and Wang He were overjoyed.
She walked into the courtyard and opened the door.
"Grandma."
Grandma Xiao was busy. Hearing her Granddaughter's voice, she immediately put down what she was holding.
"Niannian, are you on holiday today?"
Grandma Xiao happily walked towards Xiao Niannian.
"Go quickly to your room and rest. Grandma will make you something delicious."
Grandma Xiao said with a chuckle.
"Grandma, Wu Lian and Xiao Yueyue are here."
Hearing her Granddaughter's words, the smile on Grandma Xiao's face disappeared.
"What are they here for?"
"Xiao Yueyue and Xu Yang got their marriage certificate."
Xiao Niannian said indifferently.
Grandma Xiao was stunned when she heard her Granddaughter's words.
She used to think that her second Granddaughter, Xiao Yueyue, and Xu Yang were an impossible match.
Even though she had cut ties with Xiao Dong and them, she still had some affection for her Grandson and Granddaughter. They were not a suitable match. ( Qi Da Fei Ou - Qí dà fēi ǒu - Not a suitable match due to differences in status)
She knew exactly what kind of person her Granddaughter Xiao Yueyue was.
She had told her Granddaughter to get the jade pendant back, and she had also asked Xiao Dong and them for it before. But Xiao Dong and them said the jade pendant was lost. The address, phone number, and everything else were also lost.
These days, she had been asking people to look for her Eldest Daughter-in-law and Grandchildren. She had called Xiao Dong and them before, and they naturally confessed their guilt, saying they would come to apologize... She didn't expect things to turn out this way today.
"Mom."
"Grandma."
Second Aunt Xiao and Xiao Yueyue's voices rang out as they rushed in.
Grandma Xiao was surprised by their appearance.
Why do they look like madwomen?
Wu Lian's face was like a calico cat's, her hair was messy, and her clothes were wrinkled and stained. If this were in the village, people would say she was crazy.
And Xiao Yueyue, her hair was incredibly disheveled, her face was gaudy, and she had a tearful expression.
"Grandma, Xiao Niannian slandered me in front of my husband and my In-law mother today... She wants to ruin me..."
"Mom, you absolutely cannot be fooled by this little hussy. She's just jealous that our Yueyue married into a good family..."
Grandma Xiao's face darkened when she heard their words, and she said angrily.
"Shut up. I know what kind of child Niannian is better than you do. You know what kind of people you yourselves are. How dare you bully Niannian in front of me now? This is too much, don't your consciences hurt?"
Hearing Grandma Xiao's words, Second Aunt Xiao looked at Grandma Xiao angrily.
This Old Woman, they are clearly the Xiao Family, and Xiao Niannian was just picked up from outside. Even if her husband was adopted by the Old Woman, is forty years of affection fake? She doesn't understand why the Old Woman is raising this little bastard and pushing their second branch so hard. What for?
Could it be that Xiao Niannian can care for the Old Woman in her old age and bury her? ( Elderly care and deathbed care - yǎnglǎo sòngzhōng - to support one's parents in their old age and bury them after they die)
Without a son or Grandson, the Old Woman would be criticized even after she died... "Mom, it's a misunderstanding. Niannian, Second Aunt apologizes to you..." Second Aunt Xiao immediately thought of a new plan. No matter what, she couldn't let Xiao Niannian ruin her daughter and Xu Yang's marriage today. She would find a way to deal with Xiao Niannian later.
"Niannian, I apologize to you too, I'm sorry..."
Xiao Yueyue saw her mother wink at her and understood her mother's meaning. First, show weakness and get through this hurdle today. As long as Xiao Niannian didn't expose the truth, she would firmly sit on the throne of the Xu Family's Daughter-in-law.
Even if Xiao Niannian said anything later, Xu Yang and Xu Yangs Mother wouldn't believe it.
At that time, she would bribe some people in the village to spread rumors about Xiao Niannian. Even if the Xu Family went to the village, they would only hear bad things about Xiao Niannian.
"Niannian, Aunt was wrong before, please forgive Aunt and your sister for the sake of family, okay? We'll still be a family in the future, and that house will be yours. When you get married, Aunt and your sister will also be your backing, allowing you to marry into a powerful and influential family in the Capital City..."
"Niannian, I'm being sincere. Although we are cousins, we're like real sisters. Now that I've married well, it brings honor to you too. Later, the Xu Family can also help you in the Military Unit..."
Hearing this, Xiao Niannian almost laughed in anger.
These mother and daughter were indeed quick-witted and good at making empty promises.
"You two should go look in a mirror. Your abacus beads are almost hitting my face."
"Xiao Niannian, what do you mean? Are you really going to ruin my marriage with Xu Yang? He and I have already slept together... Don't even think about coveting him anymore."
"Niannian, listen to Aunt. Whatever amount of money you want, Aunt will agree. We'll even sell everything we have to compensate you..."
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Xiao Niannian said.
"Oh, you want to compensate me? Why do you want to compensate me? How much will you compensate?"
"Yueyue is sorry for this marriage. But we will definitely compensate you with a good marriage in the future. One as good as Xu Yang's."
"Yes, I will definitely have Xu Yang find you someone as good as him, a company commander or even a battalion commander is fine."
Xiao Niannian listened and laughed.
"Really? So you admit that you stole the jade pendant that Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu gave me, and impersonated me, the savior, to marry Xu Yang?"
Thinking that Xu Yang and Xu Yangs Mother would arrive soon, Second Aunt Xiao and Xiao Yueyue decided to admit it. As long as they appeased Xiao Niannian first and kept her from making a scene today, then for future matters, without any written proof, Xiao Niannian wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
"Yes, we admit it, it's our fault... We shouldn't have let Yueyue impersonate you..."
"Niannian, I impersonated you, I'm sorry..."
Outside, Xu Yang and Xu Yangs Mother heard this and pushed the door open with a bang.
Xiao Yueyue and Second Aunt Xiao were startled by the sound.
"What did you say? You're an imposter?"
"Comrade Xiao, you are the true savior of my Grandpa and them?"
Xu Yang's face was full of anger as she looked at Xiao Niannian.
And Xu Yangs Mother's gaze towards Xiao Yueyue was now one that wished to kill her.
"Slap."
"Mom, no, Xiao Niannian tricked us..." Xiao Yueyue explained.
"In-law mother, Yueyue is the real savior..."
Xu Yangs Mother slapped Xiao Yueyue.
"We heard everything, and you're still trying to deceive us now..."
Xu Yangs Mother never expected that their excellent family would be completely fooled by a village woman like Xiao Yueyue. What was wrong with the people they sent to investigate before?
"Shut up, don't call me Mom, I've never acknowledged you."
Xu Yang clenched her fist, her eyes burning with rage.
