Chapter 274: We Won’t Take This Kind of Insult
After hearing Grandma Su, Su He nodded. “Grandma, you’re right!
I also think their family isn’t proper. What kind of decent household hires maids? And two of them at that?!
My boyfriend’s grandfather is as loose with money as a worn-out waistband—he gave me 110 yuan as a first-meeting gift!
Look at this—he even gave me milk powder, nutritional paste, and all this tobacco and alcohol. If they didn’t have money to burn, they’d be out begging for the northwest wind by now!”
Grandma Su: “……”
Her eyes nearly popped out!
What? Two maids?!
Good heavens, what kind of family is this?!
They must be high officials!
And they gave 110 yuan just for the first meeting?
In the countryside, five yuan would already be generous, ten yuan meant they really liked you!
This family must be loaded!
Even though Grandma Su didn’t know much about tobacco and alcohol, one look at the packaging told her it was top quality.
And that fabric—it was wool! Top-grade, expensive material!
As for the milk powder and nutritional paste, she didn’t think much of them. After all, she now considered herself a worldly old lady.
Su He then took out the things Gu Chiyan had bought and pouted. “Grandma, this was all bought by my boyfriend. I told him not to, but he insisted—and he only picked expensive stuff. You were absolutely right, he’s not someone who knows how to run a household!”
Grandma Su stroked the wool fabric as she spoke. “My dear girl, I was upset when I suddenly heard you had a boyfriend, so I said some angry words.
Actually, customs differ from place to place—whether you visit his family first or he visits ours doesn’t matter.
As long as the young man is good and treats you well, that’s what matters most! Hongmei, tell me again what he looks like…”
Cao Hongmei immediately picked up the thread. “Mother, you didn’t see him—he’s incredibly handsome!
I’ve never seen such a fine young man!
Refined, polite, clearly from a good family.
And just look at all the gifts—they really value Little Su. She’s fallen into a nest of blessings…”
Grandma Su was grinning from ear to ear!
“My precious granddaughter!
I always said you’re blessed, and now it’s come true!
You’re capable yourself, and you’ve found such a good partner! From now on, I’ll just wait to enjoy your blessings!”
In her mind, following her granddaughter to the capital was like becoming a titled lady entering the city!
She was practically glowing with delight.
Su Yongshi and the others were also thrilled. Though Su He was capable, she was still limited to their small county.
And there was always Shen Ruyi lurking as a threat.
Now that Su He had such a powerful boyfriend, they could finally breathe easy.
Then they saw Su He give a bitter smile.
“Grandma, actually, at first they didn’t like me. To be exact, they looked down on me for being from the countryside.
The moment I arrived, they gave me a hard time. First, the maid embarrassed me, then his aunt mocked me sarcastically.
His grandfather was even worse—he directly told me to break up with him, practically calling me a toad trying to eat swan meat…”
Grandma Su had been admiring the wool fabric, but the more she listened, the angrier she became—she threw it to the ground!
She burst into a string of furious curses, then said through gritted teeth:
“For a so-called prestigious family, they’ve got no manners at all! Even in the countryside, people aren’t this rude!
Even if they don’t like you, they should at least keep up appearances!
But they ganged up on you—a whole family bullying one girl! Shameless!
We’re not so desperate that we have to cling to them! My dear girl, we won’t take this kind of insult!
Return all this junk to them!
Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere! I’ll find you someone better!”
Su Yongshi was also furious. “Your grandma’s right—we won’t swallow this humiliation!
Even without relying on anyone else, we can live just fine. Why chase after people who look down on us?!”
Cao Hongmei held Su He’s hand. “Little Su, that young man is indeed good. But marriage is between two families. If his family doesn’t agree, then forget it.
We don’t need some high-status family—just find someone who truly cares for you. With your ability, you’ll still live well!”
Su Jinbao waved a fire poker, shouting, “Sis, let’s buy tickets tomorrow and go to the capital—I’ll beat them up for you!”
Su Xiaoman, however, counted on her fingers. “Sis, that family is terrible!
But these things are innocent! No reason to return them!
We’d be fools to give them back—just treat it as compensation!”
Su He: “……”
Seeing Grandma Zhao silent, Grandma Su suddenly turned on her.
“Old Zhao, why aren’t you saying anything? Are you tempted by their wealth and want my granddaughter to go suffer there?”
Grandma Zhao gave a bitter smile. “In-law, what kind of person do you take me for?
I stayed quiet because Little Su hadn’t finished speaking. Since they gave so many gifts, they must have accepted her later. Little Su, am I right?”
Su He nodded. “Yes. At first they didn’t accept me, but after getting to know me better, they changed their minds.”
Grandma Su suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.
Old Zhao figured it out, but I didn’t—doesn’t that make me look foolish?
She quickly grabbed Su He’s hand. “My dear girl, you’re the apple of my eye. There’s a saying—well, anyway, it means I care about you so much that when I heard you were mistreated, my blood rushed to my head. How could I think clearly?
Unlike some people who don’t care as much and have time to overthink things.”
Grandma Zhao: “……”
Even clay figures have their limits.
This time, she snapped.
“In-law, what do you mean by that? Say what you want, but why drag me into it?
How do I not care about Little Su? How is she not in my heart?
You misunderstood things yourself—don’t pin that on me!”
Grandma Su hadn’t expected her outburst.
Knowing she was in the wrong, she kept shooting looks at Su He.
My dear granddaughter, give me a way out!
Su He: “……”
She sighed and said, “Grandma, look how upset you’ve made Grandma Zhao! Even if you were angry, you shouldn’t say such things.”
Grandma Su slapped her own mouth lightly. “In-law, I was just so angry about that family that my tongue slipped! Don’t take it to heart—come, let me massage your legs!”
