1970s: My childhood sweetheart ran away, and I turned around and married the wildest chief.

Boss Xu turned to look at Xu Yanran. "I remember, you like Chen Jin, right?"

Xu Yanran felt a little nervous being watched by her uncle. In this family, besides her grandfather, her uncle was the person she feared the most, as she always felt that his gaze was particularly oppressive.

As for Chen Jin...

Xu Yanran thought for a moment and said, "Our two families have a relationship. I am quite familiar with Chen Jin. My maternal grandfather also said that he is a good person. I am also thinking that I am of marriageable age. If I can marry someone I know well, that would be good. As for liking someone, I don't really like him that much. I am young, and I am not sure what kind of man I should marry. My uncle is knowledgeable and experienced. If there is someone more suitable, I am willing to listen to my uncle."

She didn't really like Chen Jin that much; she just wanted to take everything from Qiao Wanqing.

In Xu Yanran's mind, she was always vying with Qiao Wanqing for the affection of the Xu family elders. She knew that the Xu family was wealthy, and as their granddaughter, it was only right that she should receive a share. However, from childhood to adulthood, she felt that the elders preferred Qiao Wanqing, their granddaughter, which made her very unhappy. She felt that Qiao Wanqing had taken what should have been hers.

The Xu family elders are very generous. The child who performs well and is favored by them will receive more good things from them. How many benefits has Qiao Wanqing, their granddaughter, taken from them since she was a child?

Those all belong to her.

Chen Jin comes from a good family and is also quite good-looking. She was even chosen by her grandfather to be given to Qiao Wanqing before, so naturally she would want to snatch her away, but that was in the past.

She didn't know her uncle still had resources before. She thought that after all these years of ups and downs, the Xu family's connections and resources could no longer reach the upper echelons. But now, judging from her uncle's tone, it seems that there are better options.

Upon hearing this, Xu Laoda's eyes flashed with understanding, and his expression showed a mixture of regret and disappointment.

Unfortunately, while the one in front of me is obedient, she's not smart enough and has a bad temper. She probably wouldn't be considered by the top wealthy families, and even if she did marry into one, she probably wouldn't marry into the core group.

It's a pity that Qiao Wanqing was so well-behaved!

Old Master Xu nodded and praised, "You're a sensible child. After all, you're our Xu family's granddaughter, which makes you different. You're still young, so you should discuss your marriage with your family. We've seen all sorts of people, so we'll definitely pick one out for you."

Xu Yanran was delighted and quickly thanked her politely.

Marriage is a major event concerning her future, signifying her future status and social class, so she naturally values ​​it.

Before going to bed that night, Xu Laoda went to the elderly couple's room and said to them, "Wanwan is too stubborn and bold. It's obvious that we spoiled her too much in the past. Once she falls down, she'll realize how good the family is. Now that she's married into the Lu family, talk to Ahui and tell her not to give her any dowry, lest she use it to support the Lu family too early and not even know she'll be exploited. Once she suffers, she'll naturally know to come back."

Old Xu stayed in the couple's room for a while, talking to them privately for a long time before leaving.

After she left, the two elders went to bed on the kang (a heated brick bed). Grandma Xu was somewhat silent, looking at her husband. "Eldest son is very unhappy about Wanwan's marriage! What does he mean?"

Grandpa Xu snorted coldly, "What else could it mean? He's unhappy that Wanwan married into a family like the Lu family without his consent, and he wants us not to give her a dowry. He should tell Ah Hui to tell the Qiao family not to give her one either. Once Wanwan suffers in that poor family, she'll naturally want to come back."

"Another point is that since she's already married to Lu Mingzhou, she's no longer of any value to me, so I don't want to invest in her anymore."

Grandma Xu remained silent for a while, then said angrily, "He's unhappy because he didn't get a good price for Wanwan."

Grandpa Xu sighed, "The eldest son is full of scheming. If nothing major happens in the family, he will be a good head of the family and a great help to Wanwan. But once something happens in the family, Wanwan may not have an easy time. If the Bai family's matter was not resolved well before, and if the situation worsens later, the eldest son will definitely agree to send Wanwan to the Bai family."

Grandma Xu's face was very ugly. "It's not surprising that families like ours arrange marriages, but we should at least have some self-respect. Wanwan is our own granddaughter, and she spent a lot of time with us when she was little, even more than with the Qiao family. That old bastard Bai Zhengxiong sent Wanwan there, and her life is ruined. He's selling his daughter for personal gain. Doesn't he have any shame?"

Grandpa Xu sneered, "In his eyes, girls are just tools. They are raised to make money for the family. I've already said that if the family is peaceful, with his abilities, he can indeed find Wanwan a high-class family to marry into, and maybe even a good husband. But once a crisis occurs, there will be no feelings left."

Grandma Xu's heart skipped a beat. She turned to her husband and said, "What are you thinking? I admit, Wanwan's in-laws aren't very good, but people can't only see profit, can they? The Lu family's child is capable, so helping them out isn't a big deal. At least during this crisis, they were busy running around and really put in the effort. The Chen family and those other families are hiding like the plague, even the eldest son... didn't come back immediately. Don't be foolish!"

Yes!

The elderly couple were arrested because their second son's family reported them. The shrewd eldest son didn't rush back to save them immediately after finding out, and after so many days, it was their granddaughter's husband who finally found someone to help them.

In recent years, they have been living comfortably by their daughter and son-in-law's side. They have no hope for their two sons.

The Lu family's background is indeed not good. It's heartbreaking that such an outstanding granddaughter married into such a family. He felt that Wanwan had suffered a loss and that the young man was not good enough for his granddaughter. But at least one thing is certain: his character is quite good. Wanwan's judgment in this respect is not bad at all.

"I know, I'm not that stupid!"

"If everyone thought like him, would I have given Wanwan such a large dowry?"

Grandma Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you think that way. Our children are all grown up, and we can't manage them too much anymore. This time, the second son even dared to report us. We have to teach him a lesson. I think sometimes sons are not as good as daughters. In the past, people said that sons would support their parents in old age and carry on the family business. When Ah Hui wanted a larger share of the inheritance, you thought we shouldn't give her too much. Now you see, what's the use of raising a son?"

Grandpa Xu: "..."

He snorted coldly in resentment, "Hmph, if she has the ability to have a child with my Xu family name, I will divide the family property equally with her. Or you can go and discuss with her about letting Wanwan take our surname, and then I will give half of the family property to Wanwan."

Grandma Xu: "..."
