Chapter 321 Coward
Chapter 321 Coward
The little girl's mother didn't know which cousin she was. She grinned and comforted her daughter, looking up and down at Xiao Wan and Xiao Yuer, with jealousy and envy in her eyes overflowing.
There was a young man whose eyes were rolling around. When he saw how Xiao Wan and the other two were dressed, his eyes immediately lit up. The children of this aunt are really successful.
The county lady's daughter is really pretty. He doesn't have a wife yet. If he can marry his cousin, not only will it strengthen the relationship between the two families, but he will also own the cousin's workshop.
I heard that Jiyun City seems to be my cousin's fiefdom. If I marry her, I can walk around Jiyun City as I please, and all the gambling debts I owe can be paid off.
In the future, I will be well-fed, rich and powerful. Who in those gambling houses would dare to mess with me?
The young man became more and more excited as he thought about it, so he quickly straightened his patched clothes, made a hair-lifting gesture that he thought was very handsome, and moved in front of Xiao Wan.
Unfortunately, Zhang Liang didn't give him the chance to get close to Xiao Wan. The young man asked unhappily, "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way while I'm talking to my cousin?"
"This is my bodyguard. Which relative are you?" Xiao Wan looked at the young man's behavior coldly. Seeing him approaching her, she couldn't help but feel disgusted.
She couldn't call her cousins, so she just asked which relative he was.
When the young man heard Xiao Wan asking him, he quickly moved forward happily. It turned out that this man was just a guard, wasn't he just his cousin's servant? Why was he so arrogant? If she wanted to marry his cousin in a hurry, she would be the first to fire him.
Zhang Liang kept blocking the way, and the young man had no choice but to glare at Zhang Liang and say through him, "Cousin, I'm your cousin Li San. When you were little, you came to my house to play. I even caught dragonflies for you to play with."
Xiao Wan felt a chill in her heart. The original owner didn't seem to have this part in his memory. She seemed to have only been to her uncle's house once.
I went there with my grandma at first. My uncle and his family seemed to dislike that we were asking for money, so they let us go after we stayed for a while. My grandma was wiping away tears on the way back.
Thinking of this, Xiao Wan also replied coldly: "Why don't I remember you catching dragonflies for me? I only remember that when I went to your house, you despised us for being poor, and soon drove me and grandma away."
Li San was dumbfounded when he heard this, and felt a little guilty. He had indeed never caught dragonflies for this cheap cousin. After she and her aunt left, his family had gossiped about them.
I didn't expect that my cousin still remembered it after all these years. But as a gambler, I was very thick-skinned, so I soon didn't care about it and continued to move forward to talk.
Zhang Liang used his internal strength to push the young man away, causing him to take several steps back and look at Zhang Liang in disbelief.
An old lady sitting at the top called out distressedly, "San'er, are you okay?"
Li San looked into Zhang Liang's cold eyes and was unconsciously frightened by the chill in them. He didn't dare to make a sound and quickly replied to the old lady, "Grandma, I'm fine. I was just joking with this big brother."
Zhang Liang nodded, thinking that this kid was smart. Xiao Wan smiled secretly, thinking that he was scared so quickly.
At this time, a woman who seemed to be dressed decently and cleanly, claiming to be Liu's cousin-in-law, also took Liu's hand and kept trying to get close to her.
Xiao Wan felt sorry for her mother when she saw this. Although her clothes were clean, the dust under her fingernails was black. It was unknown how long it had been since she had washed her hands.
Oh my God, this is the first time I have seen such a group of top-notch relatives coming here. I have never seen such a scene even in my previous life.
But she is not afraid. She wants to see what this group of people are going to do today.
It's fine if you come to play and have a meal out of family friendship, but if you dare to interfere in my family affairs, haha, Xiao Wan will not be easy to talk to.
"Sister-in-law, we haven't seen each other for several years. When I saw you today, I didn't even recognize you. You can see that your family has a good life. Unlike us, we are peasants working in the fields. Our family depends on a few acres of land for a living. Life is hard."
After the aunt finished speaking, she wiped her tears with her sleeve, stared at the cloud and phoenix hairpin on Liu's head with burning eyes, and almost snatched it away out of control.
Liu didn't know what to say. Mrs. Tian had just been protecting Xiao Yuer, and now seeing that her wife didn't know how to deal with these extremely bad relatives, she hurried forward to help.
"Madam, it's time to pay our respects to our uncle, old grandfather. Let's go over there." Mrs. Tian interrupted the woman and reminded Liu.
"Yes, you should greet your uncle first. Wan'er and Yu'er, come here and say hello to your uncle." Liu came back to her senses and quickly pulled out her cousin's hand to greet her two daughters.
