Chapter 455: Chapter 310 Let’s Switch Places_3

Mrs. Lai had previously misunderstood that Matchmaker Zhang was brokering marriage proposals for her husband. Later, she finally realized she had misunderstood.

However, she didn’t regret physically assaulting the matchmaker and looked at Mrs. Li with a somewhat strange gaze. This daughter-in-law, who appeared so fragile, was fiercer than her in beating up the matchmaker today.

At dinner, she glared at Mrs. Li and taunted her, "Always acting so weak, I thought I was always the villain, turns out the dog that doesn’t bite is the most dangerous."

Hongji’s father has been busy these last few days, about to become a groom, and his distaste for Mrs. Lai’s behavior increased:

"Eating dinner nicely, what are you talking about?"

Mrs. Lai was scolded by her husband, which only fueled her anger from the last few days:

"Husband, isn’t it all because of you? You’ve saved so much private money, giving so much gift money to that cheap woman, even building her a separate house."

"That is your niece from your maternal family, isn’t it all because of you?"

Hongji’s father didn’t elaborate, there were children at the dinner table, and there were outsiders in the house.

"Hmph, today someone wanted to take advantage of you taking a concubine to propose a match for your granddaughter. Your daughter-in-law is pretty fierce, eh? She gave Matchmaker Zhang a good beating."

Hongji and his father both asked at the same time, "What exactly happened here."

Mrs. Li didn’t speak up; she was first feeding her son and had intended to discuss it with her husband later.

Silence didn’t mean that the anger in her heart was extinguished, feeling that the family might not give up so easily.

"Matchmaker Zhang was matchmaking for Ye Zhiwei’s family’s second son. The girl is so young, and already there are people eyeing her."

Mrs. Lai did not have much affection for her granddaughter, speaking as if she were talking about someone else’s family.

At the moment, the only thing she cared about was her husband taking a concubine. To have competition at her age and to still feel aggrieved!

Ye Luoqi bowed her head to eat, actually without any appetite, especially with the events of the day leaving her in a bad mood.

She ate in silence to avoid worrying her family about her low spirits.

Grandma was relentless, with the sisters all troubled and angry about what happened today.

Their mother’s silence did not mean they would always put up with Grandma.

The sisters, wanting to protect their elder sister, glared at Grandma subtly.

Since their behavior as children was considered improper, no matter what they did, they could only distract Grandma from spewing more venomous words by focusing on what she cared most about.

The woman Grandma cared about hadn’t even entered the house yet, but if that woman did enter, it wasn’t just Grandma who would have to be on guard; they too would be on constant alert.

The sisters came up with an idea at the dinner table, where usually they ate very politely, always giving way to whatever dish Grandma wanted.

The family was wealthy enough to have a variety of dishes on the table, but the gluttonous Grandma still squabbled with the children over food.

Especially over meat, she had to scramble for it at every meal.

The sisters avoided the dishes Grandma had touched or the dishes in front of her.

Mrs. Lai, as usual, ate noisily when in a bad mood, her eating sounds drowning out the rest of the family’s at the table.

Mrs. Lai was still speaking, not yet noticing how quickly many dishes were disappearing from the table.

When she realized, all she could do was glare at her granddaughters:

"You must be reincarnated from a starving ghost, only knowing how to eat, eat, eat. Get married off to someone else’s home quickly, stop wasting food."

Hongji was already angry, with nowhere to direct his rage, and on his mother’s words:

"Mom, it’s the start of the New Year, what are you saying? They are your granddaughters, is our family now so poor that we cannot even afford to eat meat?"

The anger and sorrow in Hongji’s eyes were tangible, always feeling that his mother was not close to him and the children, as if they were not her own.

While other families favored sons over daughters, it had been the opposite in his house, and now with his own daughter, the old preference for sons over daughters was showing again.

Mrs. Li, who had been quietly eating, suddenly looked up sternly at her mother-in-law when she heard these words.

Without saying a word, her gaze conveyed rebuke.

The once gentle face and smile that had always graced her expression now showed her disgust with her mother-in-law.

Mrs. Lai had yet to realize her own misconduct, and habitually countered her son’s words:

"Hmph, girls are meant to be raised for others. Sending them off to be married when the time comes is correct; I didn’t say anything wrong."

Hongji’s father had previously tolerated Mrs. Lai because he only had one wife, and all her actions were for the sake of the family’s welfare.

But now, his attitude had changed, and with it his tolerance for his wife—it was all turning to disgust.

The thought of the beautiful woman soon entering the house unleashed his viciousness towards his wife:

"Can’t even eat in peace. If there’s no more food, then you should stop eating. Haven’t you had enough meat every day? Just look at your fat figure."
