If Xu Yufen didn’t have a daughter, saying such things wouldn’t be a big deal.
But her daughter was sitting right next to her at the moment.
Xu Yufen said such things in front of her own daughter—wasn’t she afraid of hurting her daughter’s feelings?
However, since Xu Yufen could say such things, it was clear she didn’t care at all.
Jiang Ran didn’t want to discuss the topic further, so she just curled the corners of her mouth into a perfunctory smile as a response.
If someone had a keen eye, they would have seen Jiang Ran’s expression and realized there was something else going on, something inappropriate to discuss with outsiders, and wouldn’t press the issue.
But Xu Yufen clearly wasn’t someone who knew when to stop.
Whether she understood or not, she spoke up again.
"Jiang Ran, even if you can’t go back, you should at least give them a call, right?"
Wang Cuilan had just come out of the kitchen when she heard Xu Yufen’s words, and instantly exploded.
Like a mother hen protecting her chick, she quickly rushed in front of Jiang Ran, shielding her behind her.
"Xu Yufen. Get out of my house now! You’re staying in my home, yet you keep spouting nonsense all day—what gives you the nerve?"
"You’re using our family’s food and supplies. Can’t you be a little more discerning? Don’t you know what to ask and what not to ask? Don’t you know we don’t want to answer you?"
This was the angriest Wang Cuilan had been in days.
If Xu Yufen talked about other things, Wang Cuilan could console herself that in a few days, Xu Yufen would leave, and she wouldn’t have to bother with her.
But everything else could be tolerated—except this.
Xu Yufen looked at Wang Cuilan in surprise, unable to comprehend what was going on with her.
"Sister-in-law, what’s wrong with you? I wasn’t talking about anything serious, just asking Jiang Ran to call her family. Why are you so angry?"
Hearing Xu Yufen still talking about this, Wang Cuilan spat.
"If you’re so kind, why don’t you let your daughter-in-law go back to her family?"
Without missing a beat, Xu Yufen replied, "Go back to her family? Why should she go back? She’s already part of our Pei Family; what family does she have to go back to?"
"If she can’t help us, fine, but don’t expect to take our Pei Family’s things to help her family. Where in the world do you find such a great deal?"
"If she dares to go, she might as well stay there and not come back."
"She’s been married and has two kids—who would want her besides us?"
"My son is different. Without her, he can still marry a young, unmarried girl."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran felt nothing but disgust.
Xu Yufen being greedy, gossipy, and liking to take advantage didn’t bother Jiang Ran at all.
After all, they only needed to tolerate each other for a few days.
Once these days were over, they’d each go their separate ways and likely have little interaction.
Xu Yufen’s flaws wouldn’t affect her at all.
But what Xu Yufen said about Wu Qian yesterday already made Jiang Ran uncomfortable.
That was just a bit.
Now, after hearing these words, Jiang Ran truly felt nauseous.
As another woman, how could Xu Yufen say such things?
Did she think saying them would make her appear superior?
