Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 616: Chapter 617: Quite Temperamental, Huh?

For a moment, the Xue family’s faces all turned a bit dark.

Zheng Yucheng said, ”Aunt Wu, actually, the amount of Ganoderma that was given to my dad was just that little. They also mentioned that even after it’s finished, it might still not be enough for the treatment. It’s a pity there’s no more, and they even had to scrape a bit together from an elder’s share...”

Wu Zhiyuan immediately joined in the conversation, ”Right, Brother Zheng, you see, they managed to scrounge up a bit for Uncle Xue from the elders, so given our families’ longstanding relationship, Uncle Xue can’t just stand by and watch my dad suffer, right? Why not scrape together a little for us too?”

”Exactly, exactly, if everyone has a little, it’s good for all,” Old Lady Wu remarked. ”Old Xue, why don’t we take out the Ganoderma and have a look? Zhiyuan and I will see how much there is.”

Madam Xue could hardly bear to look at the expressions on her family’s faces.

The matter was indeed her fault.

Xue Liujin’s hope of curing his insomnia made her so happy that she inadvertently showed her joy when Old Lady Wu asked about it. Without much thought at the moment, she just started telling her about it.

Who would have thought that Old Lady Wu would take it so seriously and come over during dinner time?

Now that they had directly asked to see it, they couldn’t possibly refuse to even let them have a look, right?

Having no choice, Madam Xue went into the kitchen to get the small bottle of Ganoderma.

Chiang Xiao stood up and said to her grandparents, ”Let’s leave first, Grandpa Xue’s family has guests.”

”Oh, oh,” Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao quickly got up.

However, Wu Zhiyuan immediately stretched out his hand to stop Chiang Xiao.

”There’s no need for the three of you to rush back, right? Young lady, you call Uncle Xue ’Grandpa Xue,’ it seems like you have a pretty good relationship. Just treat this place like your own home, we are not strangers. You can call me Uncle Wu, this is my mom, you can call her Grandma Wu.” With that, he turned to Chiang Songhai, ”Uncle, Aunt, that Wild Ganoderma, did you dig it up yourselves from the mountain? I’ve heard that there are toxic creatures guarding Wild Ganoderma in the deep forests. That you could dig it up, you’re really capable, huh!”

Chiang Songhai instinctively waved his hand, wanting to offer some polite words, ”Not at all, not at all, that is all...”

Chiang Xiao’s face instantly darkened.

Her grandfather was just too honest, so easily duped!

However, this Wu Zhiyuan, it seemed, was not one who was at a loss for words! Look at him, quite cunning when it comes to deception!

Both Old Lady Wu and Wu Zhiyuan’s eyes lit up, confirming that this old couple and the young lady were indeed the ones who brought the Ganoderma!

Zheng Yucheng held his forehead, not knowing what to say anymore. He felt that the way they had wronged Chiang Xiao was set in stone.

This Wu Zhiyuan was definitely not someone to be trifled with, otherwise he would have coldly turned the guests away already.

He gave Chiang Xiao an apologetic smile.

Chiang Xiao’s expression was unpleasant.

She bypassed Wu Zhiyuan, ”Excuse me, we have something else to do, we will be leaving first.”

Seeing her speaking so amiably with him and then snubbing him made Wu Zhiyuan feel uncomfortable inside. He glanced at her coldly and said to Zheng Yucheng, ”Brother Zheng, this young lady of yours has quite the temper.”

He had directly associated Chiang Xiao with the Xue family.

Chiang Xiao could tell that Zheng Yucheng was very tolerant towards Wu Zhiyuan, and understood that he probably had some clout, which made her narrow her eyes.

”I am not from the Xue family, Mr. Wu, I am also a guest of the Xue family,” Chiang Xiao straightened her back.
