Chapter 353: Chapter 63_2

"No need, they are all worthless goods, nothing worth seeing."

This remark truly showed no regard for face.

Many people present changed their expressions.

Ding Laoer and his eldest son both showed panic.

The other sons showed dissatisfaction, especially the youngest one, who seemed about to curse but was pulled back by his older brother.

The women standing above also had their chests heaving, muttering under their breaths from a distance, thinking they had found a good opportunity to join in with the sisters-in-law, immediately cried out:

"Wow, I thought it was some high-class lady, really putting on airs here, eating and staying at others’ homes while still being so presumptuous!"

"Thump!"

Ding Laoer, scared, knelt down.

The eldest son also knelt, just a bit slower, obviously not as practiced as his father in kneeling.

Seeing this, the other sons were startled at first, then also knelt down one after another, even the youngest who had been the most resentful finally came to his senses and knelt down.

The woman who had just spoken, her mouth agape, now couldn’t utter a sound, realizing she had made a big mistake.

Ding Laoer immediately harshly said to his youngest son: "Tell that worthless woman that she will never be allowed into the Ding family’s door in her lifetime and her child in her womb will not bear the Ding surname!"

Hearing this, the youngest son dared not retort anymore.

Ding Laoer then looked up and said, "Madam, I..."

"Your family’s messy affairs aren’t my interest, better go offer your respects to your brother."

Liu Yumei passed by the people kneeling in front of her, stepping down the stairs, never once looking at the woman who had spoken.

The cicadas in the summer indeed sound annoying, but who really has the time to actually check which one is making the noise?

Below was a relatively spacious platform, several round tables were set up and a group of elders were sitting; behind each elder stood someone.

The closer the elder was to the main seat, the younger the person standing behind them, clearly the grandchildren’s generation, with two having positions slightly apart with grandchildren standing behind, about the same age as Alii.

For the elders sitting lower down, they were accompanied by older persons, some clearly of the son’s generation, and all already having gray hair.

The Qin and Liu families have ancestral roots in Jianghu, but truly considered, Mountain City is indeed one of their old homes, and the people here were friends from Mountain City’s territory from old times.

When Liu Yumei arrived, everyone got up, dropping their canes, warding off the support from the young people behind them.

Some performed the old respectful gesture with arms forward, some saluted with a thumbs up, and some, like Ding Laoer, directly knelt, all kinds of ceremonies symbolizing their various identities and positions in Jianghu from the past.

Even the addressing varied:

"Madam, seen."

"Miss, seen."

Liu Yumei stood still, accepting their respect.

Then she waved her hand, smiling, "What era is it, still maintaining these old traditions, it’s not fashionable anymore, hasn’t been for a long time."

Hearing this, everyone’s faces bore compliant smiles.

Some elders turned back to glance at their accompanying younger relatives, showing off with a kind of child-like pride.

This old ceremony, they didn’t really use anymore, firstly because it wasn’t fashionable, and secondly, on regular days at home, they really didn’t meet people worthy of such respect.

But this greeting brought back memories of past years as if they themselves had suddenly become decades younger.

The two elders who brought their grandchildren spoke one after another: "Miss, this old body of mine only feels useful when I get to pay respects to you."

"Madam, when it comes to flattering, I really admire this old dog."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Liu Yumei, with her left hand on Alii’s shoulder, leaned towards Li Zhiyuan, pointing at the two elders, introducing:

"This one is Zhen Mubai, that one is Su Wenluo."

Liu Yumei only introduced these two, obviously, the rest weren’t worthy of her introducing them by name alone,

Li Zhiyuan with a smile, a slight bow "Good day, Grandpa Zhen." Then another slight bow, "Good day, Grandpa Su.", and finally, a deep bow to all the elders, "Greetings to all the grandfathers."

The elders responded enthusiastically, all while various compliments were floating and each was wondering in their hearts: who is this boy?

They all knew, the girl next to him was the only remaining descendant of the Qin and Liu families; could this boy be the prospective foster husband specially raised by the Madam (Miss)?

But, the elders present could all compare their ages to the turtles in Jianghu, naturally seeing that the boy showed a demeanor of neither servility nor overbearingness.

Appearance is easy, but character is hard to alter.

What can be taught and what is genuine composure, their seasoned eyes couldn’t be deceived.

Actually, even Liu Yumei was quite surprised by the boy’s reaction.

She had called the boy to address people because Alii couldn’t speak yet.

Liu Ting, standing in the background, silently watched this scene, wishing to know how long her respected mistress could keep up her tough front.

This type of meeting was an exchange of connections and a transmission of human relations.

What kind of treatment could a future acknowledged disciple enjoy here?

"I’ll go pay respects to that old thing from the Ding family."

Liu Yumei walked through the front hall to the back hall, the elders following behind.

The back hall had a spirit hall set up due to Liu Yumei’s arrival, and had been specially cleaned, though it had been more than a month since the passing, it appeared as though the funeral was just conducted yesterday.
