Chapter 165 The Favoritism of the Maternal Family
Song Li looked at Grandma Shen, dressed in the typical style of the Republic of China era. Even though she was quite old, she still exuded an air of being well-read and knowledgeable.
She has the air of an old lady from an ancient noble family.
Although his face bears the marks of time.
However, her eyes were very bright, and it was clear that the old lady was very shrewd.
And there's that uncle next to him.
She looks more like her grandmother than her father.
Song Li was sizing up the other person.
Grandma Shen glanced over at once.
They were also sizing up Song Li.
Song Li did not speak first.
Instead, Shen's father introduced them first: "Lili, this is your grandmother, and this is your uncle."
Song Li said politely, "Hello, Grandma. Hello, Uncle."
Even if someone doesn't attack you first, you should still show basic courtesy.
Grandma Shen nodded: "Yes."
Then, after a long pause, he said, "Only this appearance is worthy of the status of my Shen family."
Grandma Shen meant that the previous Song Pandi was too ugly, so he didn't look like a member of the Shen family at all.
Song Li's lips twitched; this grandmother's mouth was truly venomous.
No wonder Nuannuan said that her grandmother was just a little eccentric, but she was very kind to her.
That's quite a unique personality.
Song Li was initially worried that there might be some trouble during the family reunion, but the old lady didn't say anything.
Then he took the blood jade from his hand and put it on Song Li's wrist: "This is a gift for meeting you."
Song Li was stunned.
No, I won't accept it.
Before Shen's father could even speak, he did.
Grandma Shen spoke in a haughty tone: "One cannot refuse a gift from an elder."
Song Li looked at the exquisite bracelet; it was another antique!
Who wouldn't love this old lady who loves to announce gold coins?
"Grandma, this is too expensive. How about you give me a different gift?"
Everyone was stunned to hear this. There were people who didn't like expensive things. This made the old lady like it even more.
This thing looks very valuable, but that's not the point. The point is that the elderly person wears it year-round for protection and safety.
Song Li really didn't dare to accept it!
Only then did Shen's mother slowly speak: "Mom, you've worn this for so many years. It's meant to keep you safe. It's not good for Lili to keep it."
Just then, an exclamation rang out: "Oh my god! How could you just give away something so precious! What if it's not even real?"
Everyone was startled by the exclamation.
Everyone turned to look.
His face fell down.
Actually, the Shen family hadn't been in contact with this third aunt for several years.
Unfortunately, this person is too shameless; he speaks rudely but is completely unaware of it.
She truly made everyone hate her.
Actually, back then, Mr. Shen had considered leaving his child with her.
But she disagreed, even if offered money.
The second aunt was also in dire straits.
That's why it was left with the nanny in the end.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to find their child after returning.
Nuannuan held Song Li's hand and whispered, "Auntie, this is Third Aunt."
Song Li noticed that behind her third aunt was a man and four children, all girls.
A family of six.
Grandma Shen glanced at her daughter: "Always so easily startled. Did you eat too much breakfast?"
Grandma Shen didn't like this daughter either; they were all her children, whether they were the eldest, the second eldest, or the fourth.
They possess even the most basic manners.
This third sister really hasn't learned any of her manners.
Is she cunning?
She speaks as if she doesn't think before she speaks; does that mean she's heartless?
She used all her cunning to deal with her own family.
I don't know if she's been bewitched by her husband's family.
"Mom, I'm just worried that you've been scammed. This guy keeps bringing home a daughter every few days, and we've even stopped sending him gifts."
Mr. Shen looked displeased: "If you can't afford to send it, you don't have to come."
Aunt Shen: "Brother, how can you talk like that! I'm only thinking of you. What if it's another conman? No matter how much money your family has, it won't last long!"
Song Li: Every family has a noisy relative.
Looking at it now, I suddenly realize that the Lu family is really harmonious!
At this moment, the man next to Shen Sangu said, "Mom, Yulan is also worried that you and my eldest brother have been deceived."
Grandma Shen said, "Who can compare to your deceitful methods?"
The third uncle choked.
That old hag, with so many younger relatives around, she doesn't show them any consideration.
He and Yulan have been married for over twenty years.
I still can't forget what happened back then.
Although he and Yulan had secretly tasted the fruit before getting married, would they have allowed them to marry if they hadn't done so?
He still has a solution.
Besides, they truly love each other, and she looks down on him for trying to break them up.
Over the years, he has still managed to provide Yulan with a decent life!
At this moment, her uncle spoke up, "Alright, Mom, keep this bracelet. You can give it to Lili as a gift another day." Then he took out a box from his sleeve: "This is a gift from your uncle."
Song Li accepted it without hesitation, not knowing what was inside the box.
Uncle: "Open it and see, do you like it?"
Song Li had no choice but to comply.
Inside was a gleaming gold bracelet.
"It looks great, thank you, Uncle."
Aunt Shen gritted her teeth in frustration. They were all her nieces, so why hadn't the fourth brother ever given them any nice gifts? The current price of gold was around fifty, and this bracelet was so valuable; it must have cost at least a thousand.
They're so materialistic, aren't they just after the eldest brother's status?
This is clearly looking down on them!
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Song Li thought about the generosity of Grandma Shen and her uncle.
I'm wondering if I should set up an immortality tablet for the original owner of this body!
Otherwise, I would feel guilty, but then I thought that she had already been reincarnated.
Is there any point in setting up a memorial tablet?
Nuannuan said, "Auntie, Grandma didn't prepare any gifts when that fake aunt came back before."
Song Li smiled.
She gently tugged at Nuannuan's nose.
"Little elf."
Why did Grandma Shen prepare a gift this time?
Because she had heard that the newly found daughter was the same person who saved Nuannuan, Grandma Shen thought to herself that perhaps it was fate.
Then look at Song Li, she looks about 70% similar to her when she was young.
Therefore, she was even more certain that this was indeed a child of the Shen family.
She had originally prepared other gifts, just ordinary things that would be acceptable, but after looking at Song Li, she decided to give her the best.
Because this child looks so much like her.
No elderly person wouldn't love a younger relative who looks like them.
Grandma Shen stepped forward and pulled Song Li, saying, "Come sit next to Grandma."
Song Li: I'm a little unaccustomed to this sudden affection.
The faces of Shen Sangu's family turned ashen.
It's one thing that my mom didn't like her children before, since they were all girls.
But the older brother also found a girl. Why are they all girls? Why is Mom so biased?
Uncle Shen watched as his wife became so angry.
She quickly comforted him, saying, "Alright, don't be angry. You upset my Yulan, and I'll feel bad for you."
Hearing her husband coax her like this, Shen Sangu's anger subsided by half.
Hmph, if it weren't for her husband's job requiring the Shen family as a backer, she wouldn't want to come back even if her biased family begged her.
