CHAPTER 318: CHAPTER 261 IS THIS REGAINING CONSCIOUSNESS?

"Mother, why won’t you let us out? Are you afraid we’ll go to big brother’s house?" Rong Wenze was very angry.

He used to think that his old mother always sided with him, but now it seemed... Grandma Rong was still biased towards his big brother’s family.

Grandma Rong sat in the courtyard, her eyelids lifted slightly as she crisply admitted, "Yes, I just don’t want you to go."

"Why won’t you let me go? I’m her uncle; without our Manman, could she have married so well?" Rong Wenze thought about it and got very angry.

Such a good man was found in the countryside. Could Yan have met him if not for his family’s Manman...?

Last time, he even went to their family to settle scores over this!

Since she married so well, and that included his family’s Manman’s contribution, no matter what, shouldn’t the past debts of gratitude and grudges be canceled out by now?

Shouldn’t they be allowed to attend this banquet?

What was wrong with Grandma Rong? She wouldn’t go herself, which was fine, but she actually prevented him from going as well.

Had her brain gone bad? To pass up such a good opportunity.

Grandma Rong looked coldly at the silent person not far away and sneered, "Rely on her? Your face is only that big, but why is it so thick?"

Last night, when she returned and lay in bed... the more she thought about it, the more it felt off.

That wretched girl Manman really wanted to push her down!

Did that wretched girl want her dead?

If it was true, then that wretched girl’s heart was truly cruel.

Manman met Grandma Rong’s glaring gaze... especially during this glaring, it made her feel somewhat guilty.

Could it be... Grandma Rong still remembered last night’s incident?

Thinking of this, she dared not look directly even more.

Grandma Rong, observing her guilty demeanor, was even more certain in her judgment.

So it turned out that last night it wasn’t her eyes playing tricks... this wretched girl truly intended to push her down.

A surge of anger rose within her heart.

And still, her second son’s unceasing chatter echoed in her ears:

"Mother, in the Rong Family, there’s just me and big brother. Now that big brother’s family is thriving, shouldn’t he help us out a bit? Even if he doesn’t help me, he can help you and the grandchildren. They are the roots of the Rong Family."

"They are the hope and glory of the Rong Family."

Grandma Rong did dote on her grandsons a lot in the past, after all, she favored males over females, and it was still the same now.

But when she thought of her estranged eldest son... she wasn’t sure if it was because of her old age or the things her big son had said to her that day, it made her feel quite regretful.

After all, the eldest was born from her own womb, and to think she almost drove him to his death, along with her second son and daughter.

She found it hard to bear, and ever since her big son rebuked her that day, every night she dreamt of her deceased husband.

The dead old man cursed her night after night... who could stand that?

"Since you’re so capable, why bother going to them? Rely on yourself, right? Enough, they cut ties with you all already, so you are certainly not allowed to go."

Rong Wenze:...

"Mother, are you angry with big brother? Wouldn’t it be better if we went to find him now?"

"Yes, I am angry with them. Since they don’t recognize me, I won’t recognize them either. I won’t go, and neither are you allowed to."

Rong Wenze:...

Had Grandma Rong become utterly unreasonable?

Yet he truly had no way to deal with her.

Taking a deep breath, "If we can’t go, then we won’t go."

"Right!" Grandma Rong narrowed her eyes at him, "How did you know the location of their new home?"

Rong Wenze didn’t conceal the truth from her, "Manman told me."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Rong turned her head to look at Rong Manman, "How did you know?"

Manman’s face stiffened; how could she have forgotten to tell him not to mention her?

And before she could think of a response, Grandma Rong’s sharp voice rose again, "Were you spying on them?"

Of course, Manman would not admit to it and quickly shook her head in denial, "No, I just happened to see them moving stuff. Out of curiosity, I followed to take a look..."

Grandma Rong scoffed, "You say you didn’t follow them, but where they live and move... what’s it to you? Wasn’t once enough for sabotaging them, or do you want a second time? I’ve never seen someone so bent on harming a whole family. Or is it that they owed you something in a past life?"

Manman was so angered her eyes turned red; she put on a deeply hurt expression, "Grandma, how can you speak so ill of me?"

"Weren’t you bad enough?" Grandma Rong had eaten more salt than rice in her life; how could she not know what her granddaughter was thinking? "Second brother, you’d better keep your daughter in check. Such a malicious mind indeed... she even wanted me dead last night!"

Rong Wenze was shocked, "Mother... that, that’s impossible, right?"

"Hmph, how could it be impossible? Could I have seen wrong last night?" Grandma Rong had no intention of covering for her.

Rong Wenze looked incredulously at his daughter, "Manman, what your grandma is saying... is it true?"

If it were true, wasn’t his daughter far too terrifying?

How could Manman possibly admit it?

Her tone somberly sad, "Grandma, even if you don’t like me, you shouldn’t describe me as so malicious... how am I supposed to face others in the future?"

"Heaven acts, and people watch. If you care about your future, then you shouldn’t have such malicious thoughts..." Grandma Rong said, but then she thought of herself. Had she also been that malicious in the past?
