Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Aiyo, look, look at this house. It’s really imposing.”

When she heard this sarcastic voice, the smile on Zhang Lan’s face froze.

Everyone looked over and saw a woman in her forties walking over arrogantly with a seven or eight-year-old child in tow.

Zhou Xiaoli also stood up.

Zhou Xiaoli had an impression of this woman. She was Zhang Lan’s uncle’s wife, Ji Guizhi.

Zhang Lan’s parents passed on many years ago when she was very young. In order to get Zhang Lan’s family’s land, Ji Guizhi took in Zhang Lan and her brother.

However, they did not treat Zhang Lan and her brother well. During the first few years in her Second Uncle’s house, the siblings were free labor for the family.

Later on, when Zhang Lan reached the age of marriage, she was almost sold to a cripple at the village entrance. Fortunately, Zhou Yu had already fallen in love with Zhang Lan at that time and paid money to save Zhang Lan.

After that, Zhou Yu became a fool. Ji Guizhi no longer allowed Zhang Lan to return to their home for visitation. It could be said that she had cut off all ties with their family.

Therefore, Zhang Lan had only informed her brother’s family and did not invite them to the housewarming banquet today.

However, they did not know why she had come here and brought her grandson as well.

Worried that they had ill intentions, Zhou Xiaoli stood up and walked over to stand beside Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan put a smile on her face again. She held Zhou Xiaoli’s hand to reassure her. Then, she said, “Aunt, you’re here. Come in and sit.”

Ji Guizhi raised her head and snorted. “Aiya, you’ve made a fortune. You’ve even built a brick house! Have you forgotten about your uncle’s family? If it weren’t for the Cui family’s daughter who returned to her family home yesterday, I wouldn’t have known.”

“Zhang Lan, don’t forget. If we hadn’t taken you and your brother in back then, you would have died.”

Zhang Lan had a fake smile on her face. “How can that be? It’s because you didn’t want us to go back for visitations. I thought that since you were so unwilling to see us, I wouldn’t disturb you. That’s why I didn’t invite you.”

Ji Guizhi was embarrassed for a moment, but she quickly recovered. “I-I was just worried that you would have to bring gifts whenever you come back to my house for visitations. My heart aches for you.”

Zhang Lan continued to fake a smile. “Aunt, there are still guests behind. Why don’t you go and sit first? I’ll talk to you later.”

Ji Guizhi snorted and dragged her grandson into the courtyard.

Zhang Lan patted Zhou Xiaoli and said in a low voice, “Your Second Aunt-in-law is not easy to deal with. We’re having a housewarming banquet today. It won’t be auspicious if we make a fuss. Let’s see what she plans to do first. It’s just the addition of a stool to the banquet for now.”

Zhou Xiaoli nodded. Today was a joyous occasion for her family. It would be bad luck if they were unhappy, so she did not say anything else.

However, if she did not know what was good for her and wanted to cause trouble at the housewarming banquet, she could not blame her for being rude then.

Not long after Ji Guizhi entered, Zhou Xiaoli’s uncle and aunt arrived. Zhang

Lan’s eyes immediately curved into crescents as she went forward to hold Li Yanru’s hand. “Sister-in-law, you’re finally here. Are you tired from the journey?”

Li Yanru was also full of smiles. “I’m not tired, I’m not tired. Sister, we just heard that you were chased out of the house by your mother-in-law.”

“Why didn’t you look for us? The moment my husband found out about it, he didn’t sleep the entire night. He kept saying that he was an incompetent younger brother.”

Zhang Lan’s eyes turned red as she sighed. “It’s not easy for you guys either. How can I bother you with my family’s matters? It’s fine now. Look, we have our own home now.”

Li Yanru’s eyes turned red as she nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, that’s great.”

Then, she saw Zhou Xiaoli at the side and immediately said with a smile, “Little

Li, you’re getting more and more beautiful.”

Zhou Xiaoli smiled and said obediently, “Hello, Uncle and Aunt.”

“Hey, alright, alright.’

Li Yanru and Zhang Ze both laughed.

Then, he looked at Zhou Junjun on the other side. “Brother Jun has grown taller. You are of the age to come out to receive guests now. I heard that you’re studying in a private school. That’s great.”

Zhou Junjun immediately greeted him politely. Zhang Lan smiled. “Quick, quick, sit inside first.”

“Li’er, bring your uncle and aunt to the house.”

Zhou Xiaoli immediately nodded and led the two into the courtyard..
