A day filled with laughter and joy passes rather quickly.
At noon, Wang Cuilan directly prepared some food separately and had Pei Yang and Pei Huai take it to the West Cross Courtyard, not letting that family come over.
If that family were decent people, on such an occasion, having them join for a meal to enliven things would actually be fine.
But for Xu Yufen, Wang Cuilan has lost all hope.
If they really let that family come over, it wouldn’t be lively; it would be inviting discomfort.
Having had those previous experiences, there was no way she’d give herself unnecessary trouble.
Anyway, it’s all the same, eating is eating, no matter where you do it.
This is what Wang Cuilan thought, but clearly, Xu Yufen didn’t think the same way.
Not until Qin Chuan and Qin Hai left did Wang Cuilan open the courtyard gates.
After installing a grand gate in the East Courtyard, for symmetry and aesthetics, they also installed one in the West Cross Courtyard.
Originally, it was just for decoration, not really expecting it to be useful.
But unexpectedly, it actually turned out to be useful!
It was really a stroke of luck.
Soon after Wang Cuilan opened the gate, Xu Yufen came rushing out.
"Sister-in-law, those two who came today, one of them is your family’s new son-in-law, right? On such an occasion, how could you lock us in the courtyard and not let us out?"
"Shouldn’t his uncles and cousins have a good drink with the new son-in-law!"
"I’m just saying, when choosing a son-in-law, you must keep your eyes peeled. You can’t muddle through and let the marriage proceed just like that."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran glanced at Xu Yufen with surprise.
It was unexpected that Xu Yufen could say such a thing.
This really made Jiang Ran see her in a new light.
However, Jiang Ran quickly realized she had judged too soon.
"What I say is, have a good drinking session, get him drunk, and you’ll see his true character."
"Some people, who usually seem nice and gentle, come across as having a good temper, but after getting drunk, they go berserk and hit people."
"If you discover that only after getting married, wouldn’t it be too late? So..."
"So, you don’t need to say more." Wang Cuilan directly interrupted Xu Yufen.
"These are my family’s matters, we will handle them ourselves, you don’t need to worry."
Xu Yufen disapprovingly looked at Wang Cuilan, "That’s not how it works, we’re all one family, no need to set apart yours and mine."
So, was all of Xu Yufen’s preceding speech just to say this in the end?
Feeling deeply helpless, Wang Cuilan glanced at Xu Yufen, "Tomorrow is the third day, we’ve already discussed it. Tomorrow we will get tickets for you to go back home."
Xu Yufen, who was just insistently saying she was doing this for their good, almost jumped up upon hearing this.
"What? You’re letting us leave tomorrow? Didn’t you say it was until the sixth?"
Wang Cuilan took a deep look at Xu Yufen, "That was because we didn’t know you were like this before."
"What’s wrong with me? You say what’s wrong with me? I’m your eldest sister-in-law! The saying goes, the eldest brother is like a father, the eldest sister-in-law like a mother, you can’t push us out, that’s heartless, do you know that?"
It would’ve been better if Xu Yufen hadn’t said that; upon hearing such a comparison, Wang Cuilan almost couldn’t restrain herself from slapping her.
