Chapter 1101 Personally in Charge and Support
Zhuang Jinse was stunned for three seconds and looked straight at Huo Yan.
It was probably only now that the family members began to look at this woman who once didn't even dare to speak loudly.
I always thought that I was still the same young and naive girl who was manipulated by others in everything.
The eldest wife looked at Huo Yan and knew that this little devil was no longer the same as before. When it came to the housekeeper's affairs, this little devil had never listened to her advice.
Although he found that this little goblin was different from before, he did not expect that she would dare to be so tough in front of the banker.
That's true. This little devil has Mr. Zhuang Sanye supporting her. The eldest wife has been the housekeeper for more than 20 years, but she is weak in the Zhuang family and dares not say anything.
The reason was that her husband did not come back and no one supported her. Later, she relied on the adoption of Zhuang Yu Nuan's son and had a son like Ji Wuwei, so she dared to confront the second wife openly.
But the first wife can only control the second wife on the surface. How would she know what the second wife is doing behind the scenes?
The resentment between the first wife and the second wife is too deep.
The second wife hasn't returned to the Zhuang family for so many years. This is thanks to the first wife using the third master and her husband as excuses and reasons to persuade the old man.
However, in this matter, the two sides fought for so many years, and in the end, Mrs. Xiang succeeded, and the whole family moved back.
It’s not that the second wife can’t deal with the first wife, but that the second wife has been doing things in secret, and the first wife only has some ability on the surface. After all, her words don’t carry much weight in the family. Whatever she arranges, she always asks the old man before arranging someone to do it.
Huo Yan is different now. He did not ask the elders for instructions before arranging things.
Doesn’t Huo Yan know what the eldest wife did before?
She had a plan in mind, relying on her limited experience as a housekeeper. If the old man had any objections to her approach, he could just talk to her, and she would correct it after the old man said so.
But these past two or three years have passed, and the old man hasn't made any move at all, which means he has implicitly approved of her.
The eldest wife and Zhuang Jinse looked at Huo Yan with admiration, and Madam Xiang was of course also surprised.
The banker is destined to fall into the hands of the Third Master, right? In which family are the two families making the decisions?
But it’s okay, the third uncle and his wife are much kinder than the eldest uncle and his wife.
The Third Master is serious, but he doesn’t talk about many things. He talks less but does more.
The third master's wife is not a ruthless person to begin with. She is much better than the eldest master's wife who has a narrow mind.
At least the third uncle's wife, who came in later, would not favor either side.
More importantly, the third master’s wife gave birth to a daughter!
After Zhuang Jinse came back to her senses, she clapped her hands:
"That's a nice thing to say. What do you think this place is? A newlywed daughter-in-law wants to act unruly in the banker's house?"
"It's you, Auntie, who I want to be unruly with, not me!"
Huo Yan did not retreat at all. Everyone in the family was watching. If she showed weakness now, no one would listen to her in the future.
Zhuang Zhoucheng happened to be playing with his daughter, but he was also paying attention to the atmosphere outside.
Zhuang Laosi has always been strong and open-minded, but she speaks very rudely. She is not even polite to the old man. How could she take Huo Yan seriously?
Zhuang Jinse has become much more restrained now. When she was young, she often made the old man angry to the point of vomiting blood. Who else could she have inherited her fearless personality from?
Zhuang Zhoucheng suddenly spoke:
"Dad, my wife has suffered a lot of injustices in the Zhuang family. She came all the way to the capital with me, and she has no relatives or friends around her. If I leave this family to her, she will be in charge, but many voices of dissatisfaction will pop up. Then I can't manage this family any longer. Huo Yan has a stubborn and impatient temper. If I tell the fourth lady, I'm afraid a fight will break out outside. What do you think we should do now?"
The old man glanced at Zhuang Zhoucheng:
"You bastard, you're using your father as a pawn? Do you think I'm suffering from Alzheimer's?"
It would undoubtedly be better for the old man to come forward than for Zhuang Zhoucheng to come forward.
Zhuang Zhoucheng's intervention to help his wife was understandable, and anyone would have considered it selfish, and would have listened, but would have been dissatisfied in their hearts. But when the old man intervened, it was a different story.
The old man walked out on his crutches. Huo Yan stood up and shouted:
"dad."
Everyone outside stood up and greeted him, and after waiting for the old man to sit down, they sat down too.
As soon as the old man appeared, he was more serious than before.
The old man looked directly at Huo Yan, "How did you deal with it?"
"I want everyone to calm down for a night. I will listen to their decision tomorrow. What do you think, Dad?" Huo Yan asked the old man.
The old man snorted in his heart. Calm down for a whole night?
This is how the matter was handled. It seems that the third daughter-in-law is still a little immature in handling matters.
"Okay, then go back and think about this matter. We can talk about how you want to deal with it tomorrow."
The master was about to stand up after he finished speaking, but everyone was sitting still, so he sat back down.
"Why, do you have any other opinions?" The old man glanced at everyone.
The eldest wife and her mother-in-law remained silent, indicating that this matter had nothing to do with them. It was the housekeeper who called them here, and they didn't want to get involved.
Madam Xiang explained in a low voice:
"No, Jinse doesn't want to get involved in this matter..."
"Don't want to care?"
The old man asked back and looked directly at Zhuang Jinse:
"Who gave birth to Jeffrey? Why did you give birth to him if you didn't want to? You don't care about the son you gave birth to, and you want others to take care of him. You take all the good things and kick them away when things go wrong. Even I admire your good calculations. You are my daughter? You are so heartless and ungrateful that you can even abandon your own son. You are really capable. I can still move now, but when I can't, I'm afraid you will run away faster than anyone else with your luggage. Are you willing to serve tea and water to me, a dead old man?"
The more the old man spoke, the more excited he became, and his long crutch knocked on the ground.
Huo Yan's face twitched. How could he say that?
The first wife quickly pretended to be a good person:
"Dad, calm down. Jinse didn't mean that. She just said that Jeffrey has grown up and should take on his own responsibilities. She didn't interfere with Jeffrey's decision because she wanted to fully respect the decision of the younger generation. How could she really not care? After all, she was the one you carried for ten months and gave birth to. You said you would no longer care about Jinse, but you still mentioned her every now and then."
"Yes, Auntie didn't mean that. Grandpa, please don't be angry. Don't listen to the speculations of some people with ulterior motives. We all heard what Auntie said. She definitely didn't mean that."
Shen Yuan said and looked at Jeffrey:
"Right, Geoffrey?"
Jeffrey nodded reluctantly.
Well, as soon as the eldest wife, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law spoke, Jeffrey directly pushed Madam Xiang away.
The old man might not be unaware of this, but even if he did, he wouldn't say anything more in front of everyone else. We are all family, and we all share the same flesh and blood. It wouldn't be appropriate to favor anyone.
"In that case, let's leave it at this for now." The old man said.
