Chapter 351: Incident at the Banquet
Li Peng was born in an ordinary family and was not a good match for the Pan family.
Her husband, Huo Laoer, has no special abilities and has been relying on the family fund to make a living over the years.
Her natal family was in decline and her husband was not doing well, so she, as the second daughter-in-law, was not only disliked by her mother-in-law, but also looked down upon by her rich and powerful sister-in-law.
Finally, the eldest wife married a daughter-in-law that she was not satisfied with. She came here specially to watch the fun today, but she didn't expect Huo Tingfang to add insult to injury as soon as she arrived!
Li Peng took two deep breaths before he managed to keep smiling: "I heard that your Huo family is very rich and gave you a lot of dowry. Fortunately you are rich, otherwise in the Pan family... cough."
Li Peng shut up in time, leaving the story in suspense.
Huo Tingfang finally realized that the second aunt was trying to sow discord!
ridiculous!
It was her own mother-in-law who did this, but she endured it.
How dare an aunt do this to her?
Absolutely not!
"The Yin family also gave it." Huo Tingfang looked up from the game and smiled confidently, "I have two younger brothers who are making money."
Li Peng suffered another round of critical hits.
"I really envy you for being able to stand up to your parents-in-law. I can't do that because my family is poor."
"Second Aunt is too modest. The Pan family is a famous and prestigious family. How can they be so poor?"
"You have never lacked money since you were a child, so you don't know the hardships of the poor."
"Does Second Aunt need any subsidies? I can lend you some."
Li Peng said with emotion: "Tingfang is really sensible! But you don't need it for now. I'll tell you if I need it later."
"Okay." Huo Tingfang lowered his head and continued playing games.
While peeling the mango, Li Peng sighed casually, "You are so considerate and kind. I really don't know what your mother-in-law is picky about."
Huo Tingfang raised her eyebrows.
Openly provoking! Does Second Aunt think she is stupid?
With people coming in and out of the kitchen, her attitude would be conveyed to her mother-in-law in a few minutes.
"Aunt, are you here to sow discord today?" Huo Tingfang asked loudly.
Li Peng was stunned: "Nephew's wife, what are you talking about?"
"My mother-in-law is a bit strict, but that's for my own good. Pan Pei is the only son, and I will be the head of the family in the future, so I still have to learn what I should learn."
Huo Tingfang's words are righteous and impeccable.
Li Peng's face turned red with anger: "I'm doing this for your own good, why are you still scolding me?"
"If Second Aunt really wants to do good for me, don't say anything about my mother-in-law in front of me." Huo Tingfang said.
"you!"
Li Peng got up and left angrily.
Huo Tingfang continued playing games.
Sure enough, someone soon told the story.
After hearing this, Pan's mother was surprised at first, then she smiled with satisfaction: "She is smart."
"You, don't be too picky. I think the child is a good one, but she had a rough life in her early years, but that was not what she wanted." Grandma Pan said earnestly.
Mother Pan was in a very good mood because she had just received protection from her daughter-in-law. She said, "I am testing her."
"You are hard on the outside but soft on the inside. You will suffer in your life because of your words." Grandma Pan shook her head and said nothing more.
When a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law get along, if they always think that the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the wind, they will fall out sooner or later.
"grandmother!"
Mingxue came with gifts. She was wearing an elegant chiffon suit which made her look capable, while her long wavy hair made her look charming.
"Mingxue is here?" Grandma Pan looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with a smile.
Pan's mother said guiltily: "I didn't invite her..."
But so what? Visitors are guests.
Today is such a good day, we can’t cause any unpleasantness and spoil the old man’s mood.
"Grandma, I wish you a long and healthy life!" Mingxue smiled slightly, generously and appropriately.
"Okay, okay, sit down!" Grandma Pan said happily.
"Grandma, you won't be angry if I come here uninvited?" Ming Xue asked with a smile.
Grandma Pan asked, "How come?"
"I just came back from a business trip in Jingcheng. I heard it was grandma's birthday so I hurried over. Grandma, I haven't seen you for a long time. Mingxue missed you very much."
"That's thoughtful! We should have invited the Ming family to the family dinner today, but your parents were traveling abroad, so we didn't disturb them." Pan's mother explained with a smile.
Ming Xue said: "My parents are becoming more and more playful."
"Let them be, and have some fun while you can still walk."
"That's what grandma said."
"..."
The women were chatting while the men were playing cards and talking about business.
Pan Pei hadn't been home for a long time and took Yin Nianshen around to socialize.
He introduces himself to everyone with one sentence: "My son!"
The pride and complacency are outrageous!
Father Pan didn't like Yin Nianshen. He heard that the Yin family had a lunatic, and this child might also be a lunatic when he grew up.
But as the head of the Pan family, he was good at hiding his emotions. Not only did he not show his displeasure, he also agreed: "My grandson will rely on you to take care of him in the future."
After these words were spoken, no one dared to look down on Yin Nianshen anymore.
Pan Pei was very happy: "Dad, thank you."
"Don't thank me too soon. I still want to have my own grandchildren."
"I understand, I understand! I'll give birth when I've had enough fun!"
Pan Pei responded smoothly.
As for when we’ll have enough fun, that will be when Tingfang’s body recovers.
If it can never be cured, there will be no end!
.........
Huo Tingfang was very busy today, going between two places: the kitchen and the banquet hall...playing mobile games in different places.
Pan's mother knew that she had done nothing wrong, but she was very good at being obedient, so she turned a blind eye.
At the beginning of the banquet, the three Pan brothers first congratulated Grandma Pan on her birthday, and then went to the three daughters-in-law and grandchildren...
Huo Tingfang's appearance attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone looked at Pan's granddaughter-in-law curiously, and then they all looked at Mingxue.
Pan Pei owes the Ming family a life, but he ended up marrying someone else after the promised marriage?
"sister in law."
After sitting down, Mingxue took the initiative to sit next to Huo Tingfang.
Although Huo Tingfang was surprised, she nodded: "Are you here?"
"Yeah." Mingxue also nodded with a smile.
This table was for the grandchildren of the Huo family. According to the seating allocation, Mingxue shouldn't be sitting here. But it was not easy to chase people away in front of everyone, so Huo Tingfang endured it.
"Come and eat." Pan Pei glared at Mingxue secretly, reminding her not to cause trouble.
Ming Xue directly pointed out: "Brother Pan, you don't think I'm still thinking about you. Are you here to declare war on my sister-in-law today?"
The whole table was embarrassed!
The sisters looked at each other and were all worried about their brother.
"Of course... not." Pan Pei observed his wife's expression.
Huo Tingfang was calm and composed: "a sister is also a sister, how can it be incest? People outside are guessing nonsense, how could our family fight over rumors?"
"Sister-in-law is right!" Pan Miaomiao gave a thumbs up.
She is the youngest here and her admiration for the eldest sister-in-law is beyond words.
Ming Xue had a bad start, so she could only smile and say, "Sister-in-law is really sensible. Pan Pei is lucky."
"Of course. Marrying Tingfang is the greatest blessing in my life." Pan Pei was very proud.
Pan's mother sat at the main table, observing Huo Tingfang's performance from time to time.
She is graceful and knows when to act. She is indeed raised in a wealthy family.
If she had not been kidnapped as a child, she would have been a standout among the socialites, a perfect match for the Pan family. Unfortunately...
Mother Pan felt regretful in her heart and even drank without any enjoyment.
Suddenly someone screamed: "Blood——"
When he turned around, he saw Huo Tingfang standing in the aisle with a pale face, his feet were bright red, and blood was constantly flowing down his legs.
Is this a miscarriage?
