During breakfast, the atmosphere was slightly cold.
Mrs Tang looked at Tang Mo and Nan Xun, who were sitting opposite each other and did not even exchange glances. “Xun’er helped make breakfast today. It tastes good.”
Nan Xun smiled. “If Mom likes it, I’ll help you do it when I have time.”
Mrs Tang glanced at Tang Mo. Tang Mo took a bite of the egg and put down his fork. “I’m full.”
He stood up and said to Mrs Tang before leaving the restaurant, “Mom, I’m going on a business trip today. You don’t have to call me if there’s nothing.”
Mrs Tang frowned. “This child…”
Tang Mo had already walked out of the restaurant and did not look at Nan Xun from beginning to end.
Nan Xun sighed in his heart.
It seemed very difficult for her to get along with him peacefully.
Sometimes, he was as childish as a child.
Nan Xun was going back to her hometown in the afternoon.
Nan Xun told Mrs Tang and Mrs Tang did not ask further. She immediately took out many gifts. “When you and Mo’er got married, your grandmother was not in good health and did not come to attend the wedding.
Take these back for the old lady.”
Nan Xun shook her head. “Mom, it’s too much.”
“Not much, not much. heard that after your father passed away, your aunt and uncle helped your family a lot.”
“T’ll get the mall to send a few bags and coats over later. Take them back for your aunt. Oh, your aunt has a daughter. She’s your cousin, right? I’ll buy some for her later.”
“Mom, don’t trouble yourself.”
“It’s no trouble.” Mrs Tang held Nan Xun’s hand. “If you’re polite to me, you’re treating me as an outsider.”
an Xun could not say anything else. “Thank you, Mom.”
n the afternoon.
Before Nan Xun got on the plane, Mrs Tang and the chauffeur sent her off. They only left after she passed the security check.
Tang Mo was going on a business trip and Nan Xun could not be bothered to tell him that she was going back to her hometown.
an Xun’s hometown was Yuxi Village in Y City.
When she arrived at Y City, she had to transfer a few times to reach the town.
Her uncle was already waiting at the entrance of the town’s passenger gate.
Seeing Nan Xun coming over with bags, he hurried forward to help her carry her things.
an Xun greeted her uncle with a smile.
“You child, you gave our family a lot of money every month and came back to buy so many things. We have everything at home. Don’t waste it.”
an Xun’s grandmother had three sons. Nan Xun’s father was her second son. Because of an accident, as her third son’s uncle and aunt, they sponsored Nan Xun’s university education and helped her a lot.
an Xun was working hard outside and usually took care of Grandma.
Grandma’s eldest son’s family was in Y City. They were the best among the three sons and were also the most powerful. When Nan Xun’s father was still alive, he had looked down on her father and uncle.
an Xun had earned money in the past few years. She had paid for Uncle and Auntie to build a building and Grandma lived with them.
an Xun had thought of bringing Grandma to the capital, but Grandma was used to being in her hometown and was unwilling to go out.
Sitting in the tricycle, Nan Xun looked at the uncle driving and smiled. “Uncle, I’ll buy you a car this time!”
“You child, I just told you not to spend money recklessly.”
“The money for a car is more than enough.”
The uncle shook his head, his attitude firm. “You spent a lot of money building the building last time. Your aunt and I definitely won’t want the car you bought.”
Seeing that her uncle was serious and that she would be angry if she bought it, Nan Xun did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Okay, okay. If Uncle says not to buy it, then we won’t buy it.”
An hour later, they returned to Yuxi Village.
Grandma, Auntie, and Little Cousin were already waiting at the door.
Seeing Nan Xun return, the three of them welcomed her warmly.
“Xun’er, you’ve worked hard!” Auntie said.
Nan Xun shook her head. “It’s nothing,” Nan Xun said and gave her aunt and grandmother a hug.
Her uncle and aunt helped bring the things Nan Xun had brought back home and Nan Xun gave them gifts one by one.
The eight-year-old cousin was overjoyed. “Sister, why didn’t I see Brother-in-law coming back?”
Nan Xun was stunned by her cousin’s question.
Back then, at her wedding, she had invited her uncle and aunt’s family to attend. Her cousin had seen Tang Mo and had been praising her brother-in-law that night. He was a hundred times more handsome than her
uncle’s cousin’s boyfriend.
Seeing Nan Xun’s awkward expression, the auntie knocked her cousin’s head. “Your brother-in-law must be busy with work. He’s just a child. Don’t ask if you don’t know.”
The cousin pouted. “That day, Eldest Cousin called and said that her boyfriend was talented and handsome. I said that he was definitely not as handsome as my Sister Xun’s husband, but she didn’t believe me!”
Nan Xun did not have a good relationship with Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt’s family. He had invited them to the wedding, but they had not gone.
“What’s there to compare with them? It’s fine as long as we know that Xun’er’s husband is better than her.” The auntie knocked her cousin’s head again.
Nan Xun was a little tired after traveling for nearly a day. She ate something and went back to her room to sleep.
In her daze, she heard someone talking loudly and got up from the bed.
Auntie had come from the city.
She was showing off to her grandmother and aunt. “The bag I’m carrying is from LV. It costs tens of thousands each. The clothes I’m wearing were also bought by my future son-in-law. I heard that it’s very expensive
and is the annual income of your family.”
Grandma and Auntie were silent.
Eldest Aunt had always been arrogant. Back then, Eldest Uncle had married into her family and had always looked down on Nan Xun’s father and uncle because of their good family background.
Nan Xun looked at her aunt, who was used to being honest and did not dare to say anything. She took out a few bags and clothes from her room. “Auntie, when you attend Cousin’s engagement party, wear this and
carry this bag. You will definitely not embarrass Auntie’s family.”
When Eldest Aunt saw the bag and clothes in Nan Xun’s hand, she immediately recognized that there were LV, Chanel, Gucci, and other big brands of clothes… Eldest Aunt frowned and seemed to have thought of
something. Then, she smiled and said, “Ah Xun, you’re back. I heard that you’re doing well in the capital, but you probably haven’t reached the point of buying so many luxury goods. Taking fake goods back to give to
ignorant farmers. You’re too materialistic.”
Grandma and Auntie were a little angry when they saw Auntie talking about Nan Xun like this. They were about to say something when they heard Nan Xun say with a smile, “Auntie, I gave Auntie the latest model, but if
Iremember correctly, this bag in your hand is from last year. It’s all outdated. Why did your future son-in-law buy it for you?”
Eldest Aunt smirked and looked at Nan Xun in disdain. “Alright, I won’t argue with you. Your cousin’s engagement party is in a few days. When your family comes, remember to clean yourselves up. Don’t let others
know that you’re from the countryside!”
With that said, she glanced at her uncle’s newly built villa. “What’s the point of building such a big villa? You probably can’t buy a toilet in the city!”.
