Chapter 80: Chapter 071: The Whole Family is Top-grade (Part 3)_3

If she didn’t listen to her daughter-in-law, and chose not to go to the old house...well, those old hags could really play dirty. A simple twist of their fingers on her thigh would leave a huge, purple bruise.

Besides, he was already a grandfather, and really didn’t want his grandsons and granddaughters to see him getting chased around the yard by his wife wielding a bamboo stick.

Being scolded by one’s parents, now that was "filial piety," no shame in that.

He Jianguo had all of these principles clear in his mind and he obediently followed his old partner’s orders, all in the name of "family harmony"!

Holding his dry tobacco pipe, He Jianguo sauntered out the door.

...Sitting in the inner bedroom, He Tiantian watched this drama unfold, feeling quite stunned.

Although she had only been there for less than half an hour, she had already determined from the behavior and speech of this family—

Damn it, this was truly a family of top-grades.

Her father, He Jianguo, was under strict control by his wife, famously known in He Family Village as a henpecked husband, who would even drive out his own parents for the sake of his wife and children.

Her mother, Liu Xiuzhi, that went without saying—definitely a shrew, and even had some tendencies of an evil old lady, keeping her two daughters-in-law firmly under her thumb.

Her eldest brother, He Yongfu, resembled their father somewhat: honest, mama’s boy, and somewhat foolishly filial.

Her eldest sister-in-law was not as fierce as Liu Xiuzhi and, like He Yongfu, had an honest nature, not fighting back no matter how her mother-in-law and younger sister-in-law bullied her.

Her second brother, He Yonggui, was crafty and eloquent but shirked from doing any real work. All he knew was how to leech off his older brother.

Her second sister-in-law, Zhang Jinfeng, wasn’t the type to spout smart talk like He Yonggui, but she was a Helping-Brother Demon.

It was only because He Yonggui kept a tight leash and Liu Xiuzhi was domineering that Zhang Jinfeng didn’t use her own household income to subsidize her family of origin.

But, if she got her hands on anything good, she would certainly hurry to send it back to her family, not even leaving anything for her own sons and daughters.

As for the original host, He Tiantian, she was the top-grade younger sister at her own home and became a shameless ex-wife once married.

He Tiantian:... Really speechless.

More than an hour later, He Jianguo returned with a somewhat sheepish expression.

However, as soon as he entered and saw his wife Liu Xiuzhi, he still put on a wide smile, "Dad said that it’s better to discuss such matters face-to-face with the in-laws. He will take Tiantian to the Provincial City tomorrow—"

Liu Xiuzhi might not like her parents-in-law, but her father-in-law was right.

Don’t be fooled by her ranting at home, she really didn’t have the guts to go directly to the Yan Family.

It was better to let father-in-law take Tiantian to test the waters first. If the talk didn’t go well, she would then bring herself to go and make a scene at the Yan Family!

With a plan in mind, Liu Xiuzhi didn’t show it on her face, but nodded, "Okay, let’s do as your dad says!"

The next day, He Tiantian changed into a loose knitted sweater and stirrup pants that someone had bought for her from the County.

By the late 80s, bell-bottoms were no longer in vogue, while those tight stirrup pants quietly became popular.

The original owner was fashion-conscious and liked to follow trends, naturally, she wouldn’t miss out on the latest fashions.

He Tiantian, having time-traveled, felt somewhat resistant to these retro styles.

However, the original owner had a great figure, with legs both slender and straight, and when Tiantian put on the stirrup pants, they unexpectedly highlighted her figure even more.

"My Tiantian really is beautiful! With this look, she’s just like the female stars on the calendars!" Liu Xiuzhi was incredibly satisfied, secretly handing Tiantian some big reunion banknotes before watching her leave the village with Grandpa He.

Riding the village tractor all the way to the town with a series of rattles, and then taking the long-distance bus, enduring the crowding and stench of sweat and smelly feet, they finally arrived at the Provincial City.

On the road, Grandpa He kept reminding her, "Tiantian, when we get to the Yan Family, don’t talk recklessly!"

If it had been a granddaughter from outside the family, Grandpa He wouldn’t have been so amiable.

Grandpa He and Granny He were notorious for favoring males over females; just look at how they gave birth to five daughters in a row but still did not give up on having a son, to see their desperate desire for male heirs.

For a losing bet like He Tiantian, even if she were a legitimate granddaughter, Grandpa He didn’t care much for her.

But the problem was, that shrew of a daughter-in-law did care, and she doted on He Tiantian to no end.

Over the years, Grandpa He had been truly intimidated by Liu Xiuzhi, and to appease her, Grandpa He and Granny He did not dare to neglect He Tiantian.

Now for the sake of He Tiantian’s marriage, Grandpa He had lost face over and over again, shamelessly going to negotiate with Grandpa Yan.

"Hmm!" He Tiantian obediently agreed.

Although Grandpa He found it strange that his spoiled granddaughter suddenly became so well-behaved, he didn’t think too much of it, assuming that the child had grown up and finally knew what shyness was.

But Grandpa He couldn’t have imagined that as soon as they arrived at the Yan Family, before he could even rekindle the old ties with the Yans,

He Tiantian lifted her chin and said arrogantly to Yan Xingzhou and the Yan family members, "I’m here to call off the engagement!"

"I don’t want to marry Yan Xingzhou anymore. Hmph, just a lousy soldier with neither money nor power, he’s totally not worthy of me!"
