Chapter 1411 - 1413: Grandma, Let Me Say a Few Words
Seeing Xiaoxiao speak up, the old lady knew Xiaoxiao was feeling shy, so she patted Xiaoxiao’s hand, signaling her not to worry, she was worth the praise.
Others nodded in agreement.
"Mom, you’re right, we really owe it all to Yang Ming’s wife."
"Mom, we all remember."
"..."
"..."
The old lady was very satisfied with everyone’s attitude, "I won’t say much else, I’m about to enter my old age, I only have a few years left to live, all I ask is that every day you don’t start trouble. Just don’t turn against each other when this old lady is gone."
"Mom, what are you talking about, we would never do that."
"Besides, Mom, you’re in good health, why keep talking about funerals and such depressing things?"
"..."
"..."
The old lady snorted coldly, "It’s best if you don’t, don’t act like ungrateful wolves. If my granddaughter-in-law wants to help you, that’s her generosity, and you have to remember that."
The old lady’s words were clear, warning them not to turn against Xiaoxiao after she’s helped them, and act ungratefully.
The old lady saying such words made Xiaoxiao enjoy the moment; these words were better spoken by an elder. If she, a junior, said them, it would make her seem insensitive.
Others began to assure her.
"Mom, don’t worry, we won’t act like ungrateful wolves."
"Yeah, Mom, we won’t do that."
"..."
"..."
The old lady had been observing the children for some time, and with the incident on the back hill, the family hadn’t been involved, and they hadn’t gone to trouble the second family, which pleased the old lady. But reminders were still necessary to prevent any further trouble, "Alright then, I won’t say more, let’s eat."
With the old lady’s command, everyone started eating.
Xiaoxiao knew, before this meal, the old lady had already told everyone about her plans to lead the family to wealth, and everyone must be extremely worried. So she decided not to keep them hanging. Although she was a junior, speaking at the table wasn’t ideal, but at such a time, no one would fault her etiquette, they’d surely be eager to hear what she had to say.
So she spoke up, "Grandma, I’d like to say a few words."
"Alright, granddaughter-in-law, speak, everyone listens to the granddaughter-in-law," the old lady ordered.
Xiaoxiao felt a bit shy because grandma made her speech seem so grand, so she quickly said, "Let’s talk while we eat, just like chatting about family matters."
With the old lady’s gaze upon them, everyone listened to Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao continued, "In the past few days I’ve come back, I’ve heard some villagers gossiping, saying that our family is thriving on its own and hasn’t taken you along."
"I have to explain this matter; the main reason is that I didn’t even know whether what I was doing would be profitable or result in losses, so I couldn’t ask everyone to take such a gamble with me. If it were profitable, we’d all rejoice, but if not, it would bring a lot of resentment, which wouldn’t be good. Fortunately, our family’s plans have been right, and we’ve made some Silver from these ventures."
"Even though when our family was doing those things, we didn’t involve everyone, but during that time, we hired help, thinking that everyone could earn some Silver too, making life a bit easier. However, things are better now, our family has explored the path, and I also know how to earn money now."
