Chapter 106 Xu Shan's Choice
"I've gotten used to it over the years, but..."
Mother Xu smiled bitterly. At first, she thought there was nothing wrong with living like this, but slowly things became different.
Although Xu Shan seems to be protecting them now, he still has an inseparable feeling for the old house.
At first they can pretend nothing happened, but can they still do so over time?
It’s sad and ridiculous to think about it.
"Yanyan, do you think your father will choose us?" Mother Xu was actually still a little worried, even scared.
Xu Zhiyan didn’t know what Xu Shan was thinking, she just hoped that Xu Shan would not let them down in the end.
"Mom, what are you going to do if my dad chooses the old house?" Xu Zhiyan didn't want to say this at first, but after thinking about it, she decided to ask her mother to explain it clearly, at least so that she could be mentally prepared.
Xu's mother remained silent. When Xu Zhiyan thought that she would not speak, she heard her mother say, "If your father really chooses the one from the old house, then I will take you and your brother to live. As for your father, I respect him too."
Xu Zhiyan didn't expect Xu's mother to say such a thing. She looked at Xu Mu with some concern and asked, "Mom, are you really willing to do this?"
Mother Xu shook her head slightly and said with a wry smile, "I'm definitely reluctant to part with it, but what can I do? Most of the time, your father's choice is still biased towards the old house."
"You have explained it to him directly this time. If his choice remains unchanged, then it will be useless even if I think about it more. Don't you think so?" Xu's mother said with a smile.
When Xu's mother said this, she didn't notice Xu Shan standing at the door listening to what she said.
Xu Shan was a little panicked when he heard this.
His hands were trembling slightly and there was confusion in Xu Shan's eyes.
Is this matter really that important? So important that Xu's mother would make such a choice?
Thinking of the question Xu Zhiyan asked, Xu Shan suddenly fell into deep thought, his eyes a little confused, not knowing how to deal with this matter.
But when he thought of the old house, Xu Shan felt complicated again and rubbed his eyebrows with his hand.
Xu Shan left quietly, and when he went to the old house, he heard Old Lady Xu telling Xu Mu about this matter: "Xu Shan will give Yu'er 500 taels as a dowry, and you, as the eldest brother, should also show your appreciation."
Xu's mother frowned and retorted, "If the second son really gave five hundred taels this time, he would be really stupid. He wouldn't give it."
Old Mrs. Xu said indifferently: "Who gave it to him? After all, we, his parents, are still very important to him."
Old Mrs. Xu and Old Mr. Xu saw all of this, and because they saw it, they were so unscrupulous.
Xu Shan, who was standing at the door, listened to what Old Lady Xu said. His expression became complicated and he pursed his lips as he looked inside.
In the minds of Old Lady Xu and the others, is he really just a sucker?
"How could I not understand the second brother? On the surface he seems dissatisfied with us, but in fact he is indulging us, isn't he? If not, why do you think we go to the second brother every time?" Old Mrs. Xu said to Xu Mu with a smug look on her face.
Xu's mother remained silent because she knew that what Old Mrs. Xu said was right and Xu Shan might indeed give the money.
"No matter what Xu Shan does, it has nothing to do with me. Xu Wenyu is not my biological sister, so it's not my turn to give her a dowry. You have to get the money from my father yourself, and I won't interfere with you doing so." Xu Mu said coldly.
Ever since Old Lady Xu kicked him out for Xu Wenyu, he had made up his mind not to listen to Old Lady Xu anymore and not to care whether Xu Wenyu lived or died.
Old Mrs. Xu looked at Xu Mu with dissatisfaction: "That's your sister who grew up under your care. How could you be so cruel, Xu Mu?"
Listening to what Old Lady Xu said, Xu Mu found it ridiculous: "If you think what I did is wrong, you can go directly to Xu Shan instead of me. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"By the way, don't tell me anything about Xu Wenyu. I'm not interested."
Old Mrs. Xu wanted to say something, but Xu Shan outside couldn't stop. In Xu Mu's heart, she was also a sucker?
Can he come directly to me for anything he doesn't want to do?
Pushing the door open and walking in, Mrs. Xu was not angry at all when she saw Xu Shan. Instead, she walked up to Xu Shan and stretched out her hand to him: "Where's the money?"
He looked so righteous, as if he had known Xu Shan would come.
Seeing Old Lady Xu's righteous look, Xu Shan immediately understood why Xu Zhiyan and the others were so angry.
If he were in Xu Zhiyan's position, he would definitely have the same idea.
He looked at Old Mrs. Xu with some complexity, and the hesitation in his heart turned into firmness.
Xu Mu noticed Xu Shan's attitude and knew that Xu Shan was indeed different this time.
"Why are you so cold? Not a copper coin less than the five hundred taels. And ask Xu Zhiyan to call the person back. If your father comes back, we will not let this matter go." Old Mrs. Xu said warningly.
Facing Old Lady Xu's warning, Xu Shan laughed softly, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Being looked at by Xu Shan in this way, Mrs. Xu was a little dissatisfied: "Xu Shan, I am talking to you, did you hear me?"
"I heard."
"Then why are you still standing there? I asked you to give me the money, but you didn't hear me or what? You're so disappointing." Old Mrs. Xu said dissatisfiedly.
Xu Shan was suddenly a little dazed by what Old Lady Xu said. He seemed to have heard such words before.
At that time, Old Mrs. Xu always used these words to make him give all the good things to Xu Mu and Xu Qian.
Although he felt wronged for a while, at that time he still thought that Grandma Xu was doing this for his own good.
But now think about it, from that time on, Old Lady Xu had already started to plot against them.
It's really sad when you think about it.
Old Mrs. Xu was looked at by Xu Shan with such eyes, which made Old Mrs. Xu a little dissatisfied: "Xu Shan, where is the money you brought?"
Such a question made Xu Shan laugh softly: "Money? When did I ever say I was here to give you money?"
Old Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, frowned at Xu Shan, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "If you are not here to give me money, then what are you here for?"
"I just came here to tell you that I won't let Yanyan give up what she did. What Mr. Xu does to you when he comes back is your business. I won't give you the other five hundred taels, and I won't give you my daughter's headgear either."
Old Mrs. Xu glared at Xu Shan, pointed at him with a trembling finger, and shook with anger all over.
"Xu Shan, you are really amazing. I am your mother. How can you treat your mother like this? You know how angry your father would be if he knew about this."
