Chapter 344: 110: Grand Opening, Li Yanran's Invitation_5



Just then, Zhou Xiaolian’s eyes lit up as she pointed towards the side of the road, exclaiming, “Here she comes! Mom, look, that’s Ni Yang’s mother. Doesn’t she look quite decent?”

“Which one?”

Zhou Xiaolian continued, “The one in the blue jacket, carrying a child.”

“She still has such a small child?” Ji Mudan frowned, “No, no, I cannot approve of this marriage! You’re not seriously suggesting that your brother should raise someone else’s child, Xiaolian?”

Zhou Xiaolian chuckled, “Don’t worry, they’re wealthy. They won’t need my brother to raise their kid. Mom, don’t you think she’s quite attractive?”

Ji Mudan scrutinized the woman carefully, then announced, “She looks just like a vixen. Women like that can’t handle a proper household!”

A flabbergasted Zhou Xiaolian asked, “Mom, how do you know she can’t handle a household?”

Ji Mudan responded, “Just look at how colorful her clothes are. How many widows do you see dressed like that?”

There wasn’t a man left in the house, yet she failed to pay attention to her dressing style.

In any case, Ji Mudan did not approve of this potential daughter-in-law.

Zhou Xiaolian carried on, “But they’re rich!”

“So what if they are? Besides, earning 20,000 yuan a month isn’t much. For someone of your brother’s caliber, finding a woman who earns 20,000 yuan a month is child’s play!”

Zhou Xiaolian had been mentally rolling her eyes countless times.

This old lady compared 20,000 yuan to 20 yuan as if it was nothing, it’s like she thinks the Zhou Family has their own Golden Mountain!

Though her brother was quite eligible, finding a woman who earns 20,000 yuan a month and also looks decent was not as easy as she made it out to be.

The more Ji Mudan looked at Ni Cuihua, the more she found her disagreeable, her brows furrowing tightly.

“Mom, she’s actually a very decent person. Should I invite her over for a chat?” Zhou Xiaolian wasn’t ready to give up yet.

“Go ahead.” Ji Mudan eventually relented, unable to resist the allure of the 20,000 yuan.

Walking up to Ni Cuihua, Zhou Xiaolian warmly greeted her, “Big sister, congratulations! Yangyang surely made you proud!”

Ni Cuihua smiled and replied, “Thank you.”

Zhou Xiaolian took Ni Cuihua’s arm, “Come, big sister, let’s go chat over there.”

As Ni Cuihua neared, Ji Mudan adjusted her clothes and hair, appearing ready to play the part of a mother-in-law scrutinizing her would-be daughter-in-law.

For this encounter, Ji Mudan had specifically chosen to wear her finest clothes, looking to outshine her potential adversary.

“Big sister, this is my mother.” Zhou Xiaolian brought her along to Ji Mudan.

While maintaining her composure, Ji Mudan looked Ni Cuihua up and down.

Despite Ni Cuihua being wealthy, the Zhou family was a working-class household, so in terms of social status, Ni Cuihua was marrying up.

“Hello, madam.” Ni Cuihua politely greeted her.

Madam?

Ji Mudan subtly wrinkled her brow; goodness, what an outdated formality! Wasn’t this only used by rural people?

How could the Zhou family allow such a woman to marry into their home?

Like a stern school principal, Ji Mudan asked, “What’s your name? How old are you?”

Ni Cuihua furrowed her brows slightly; what was this old woman trying to imply?

Who begins a conversation by asking such questions?

With a hint of apology, Ni Cuihua replied, “I’m sorry, but I need to return to the shop. I’ll leave now.”

Once she finished speaking, Ni Cuihua, cradling little Ni Yun, took her leave.

Ji Mudan was so enraged, she was practically hopping mad!

“What kind of attitude is that? Is that how she plans to treat her future mother-in-law? Giving me the cold shoulder even before she’s married in! God knows what’ll happen once they’re married!”

A speechless Zhou Xiaolian replied, “Mom, you have to admit that you were out of line just now. Why did you even start off with such questions? You could have gone about it more subtly!”

“People like her don’t deserve to step through the doors of the Zhou family! Just because she has a little money, she thinks she’s something special!”

Ji Mudan had a deep disdain for the rich.

Zhou Xiaolian continued, “Mom, please calm down. Things aren’t as bad as you’re making it out to be. Let me go talk to her. We haven’t even married her into the family yet, you can start teaching her once they’re married and have their certificate. Then she’ll be all yours to deal with.”

Zhou Xiaolian caught up to Ni Cuihua and quickly apologized, “Big sister, I’m sorry about my mother. She was a bit abrupt just now, but please don’t take it to heart. Here’s what’s going on, you see, I have a brother…”
