Chapter 190 Relatives Don’t Say These
"Okay! As long as my aunt and family members don't dislike me and my grandmother, we will naturally be willing to go back." Cheng Wenwen agreed immediately.
Madam Yao said with a cheer, "We are all family, why are you so dissatisfied? Aunt and Wenwen, please come with me."
Cheng Wenwen left with Old Madam Cheng, leaving the maid beside her to pack her luggage at the inn and go to the Yao family later.
The carriage swayed and jolted for a minute and a half before arriving at the Yao Mansion. The Yao family was the richest family in Jiayang, so their mansion was naturally very luxurious.
"The family has changed a lot!" Old Madam Cheng couldn't help but sigh.
Madam Yao said, "It was renovated two years ago, and many things have been replaced, but the layout remains the same. Your yard is still empty now! My father-in-law is looking forward to your return!"
“Okay, okay!” Old Madam Cheng quickened her pace, wanting to see her brother as soon as possible.
Cheng Wenwen followed and then went into the hall.
Since the Yao family knew that Old Madam Cheng was coming home, they all sat in the hall waiting for her.
"Big brother!" Old Madam Cheng took a look and saw Old Master Yao sitting at the uppermost seat.
"Third sister! You're back!" Old Master Yao came over to greet her personally. He looked at his sister again and again, and then asked, "Why are you so old? Are you not living well in the Cheng family?"
Because of the family's inquiry, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but shed tears, but she quickly wiped away her tears and said, "Brother looks healthy and well!"
"I'm a leisurely man, so I'm in good health without having to worry about anything. But you, you haven't thought about going home in these years. When you got married, you were still a pretty girl, but now you're back and you're old. Time flies!" Old Master Yao couldn't help but sigh.
"It's all my fault. I was afraid that you would still blame me after all these years, and I would be too embarrassed to come home."
It was because she insisted on marrying far away that things turned out like this. It was her own fault that she was not living a good life. She was too ashamed to complain to her family.
"Stupid! Why would we, brothers and sisters, care about these things? Do you know that when our parents passed away, they still missed you?" Old Master Yao said helplessly.
"I know, I wanted to go home at that time too! But there were too many things going on in the Cheng family. Wenwen's parents had...ah...let's not talk about it anymore, it's all in the past!" Old Madam Cheng didn't want to talk about sad things anymore. Now that she was back home, she should be happy.
"Yes, let's not talk about it now since it's in the past. Let's eat quickly." Old Lady Yao also said.
"Okay, okay, let's eat and not talk about it anymore! I have already gone to Peng County with the divorce letter. Your second brother should be back by then. You should just stay at home this time and stay longer. Don't think about going back to the Cheng family!" Old Master Yao pulled his sister to sit next to him, and the whole family sat down.
Then, Old Master Yao looked at Cheng Wenwen and said, "You are my niece, right? What's your name? This is the first time I see you, and I don't have anything to give you. You can go to my warehouse later and take whatever you like!"
"No, no, you are too polite, brother!" said Old Lady Cheng.
"What do you mean by polite? This is the first time I meet this girl, so I should give her a gift. Don't stop me! This is my gift to this girl!" Old Master Yao snorted.
"Okay, okay, I won't stop you. Wenwen, thank your uncle quickly."
Cheng Wenwen nodded and said to Old Master Yao, "Thank you, Uncle."
"Your name is Wenwen? You are quiet, pretty and pretty. I like you. Unlike your cousins, none of you look like feminine at all!" Old Master Yao praised with a smile.
"Grandfather, why do you say that to us? Why don't we look like girls anymore?" The speaker was Old Master Yao's granddaughter, Yao Miaoer. Her facial features were heroic and somewhat masculine, and her dress was more neutral, lacking some of the feminine beauty of a girl.
"You dress up as a man all day long, you are careless and have no manners, and you are still not married. How can you act like a girl?" Old Master Yao said to her mercilessly.
Yao Miaoer snorted and said, "Who says girls have to be gentle and polite? A girl like me is also a girl!"
Old Master Yao was too lazy to talk to his granddaughter because once he started talking, it would go on and on.
"Okay, okay, let's eat. Then you can take your cousin out to play more. You two seem to be of similar age, so you should get along well with each other." Mrs. Yao said.
"I have something for my cousin too!" Yao Miaoer took out a bracelet of colorful beads and handed it to Cheng Wenwen, "Give this to my cousin! I got it from a temple, it can keep you safe."
This colorful bracelet looks very beautiful. Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Thank you, cousin."
"Okay, okay, that's right! The family should get along well with each other!" Old Madam Yao said with a smile.
Cheng Wenwen felt the warmth of the Yao family. The Yao family did not act restrained or unnatural just because they were relatives. Instead, they treated them warmly and made people feel the warmth of family. Such a family is really good.
After breakfast, Old Master Yao showed concern for their residence and personally took them to Old Madam Cheng's former courtyard.
"I have kept this yard of yours all this time! I have also asked someone to take care of the things inside, just in case you would come back in the future." Old Master Yao said with a smile.
Madam Cheng was touched and said, "Brother is so thoughtful."
"It's not a big deal. You're glad you're back. If there's anything missing, just tell the servants. If you're not satisfied with anything, just tell us. This is your home. Just stay the same as before!" Old Master Yao said dotingly to his sister.
When Old Madam Cheng heard this, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She hadn't been loved like this for a long, long time, and she couldn't help but feel deeply touched.
"Okay, you guys clean up and take a rest first!" said Master Yao.
"Goodbye, uncle!" said Cheng Wenwen.
"Okay, okay, don't send me off, go back!" Master Yao said, and then turned around to remind Cheng Wenwen: "Take a rest and go to my storehouse to pick out gifts, but don't forget, if you don't come, you won't like your uncle's things!"
Cheng Wenwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her great-uncle was really cute.
Old Madam Cheng smiled and said, "Your great-uncle is just like that. He's very funny!"
Cheng Wenwen nodded: "Grandma's family members are all very nice!"
"My mother's family naturally loves their own family more. This time, grandma is really grateful to you, Wenwen. If you hadn't brought me back, I would have died without being able to come back!"
Firstly, the journey from Beijing to Jiayang is long; secondly, she was afraid of criticism from the Cheng family; and thirdly, she was too old to walk such a long distance without her family.
So this time, Old Madam Cheng was really grateful to her granddaughter. She was still just a teenage girl, but now she was more mature than herself, able to stand on her own, and even plan for herself.
Cheng Wenwen said, "This is what I should do, grandma. Don't say anything about gratitude. We are family, so we don't need to talk about these things."
"Yes, we are family, let's not talk about this." Old Madam Cheng patted Cheng Wenwen's hand.
