Chapter 425: The Whole Family Went Into Battle

Su Xiaoxiao was petrified for three seconds.
Manager Sun muttered to himself, “To think that you would have such a day.”
Manager Sun gloated for a moment before starting to sympathize with her right on the heels of that.
He cleared his throat and covered his mouth with the account book. He whispered, “I can’t help you this time. Good luck.”
Who asked her to kidnap the young son of the Wei family home to be a live-in son-in-law?
Even the heavens did not have the guts…
Su Xiaoxiao straightened her expression.
Calm down, don’t panic.
She was just a Matriarch.
Manager Sun muttered under his breath, “You’d better not get into a fight!” The rest of the medical center could not bear to watch anymore.
Their boss, who usually did not change her expression even if Mount Tai collapsed, had now… become a little fat goose.
Su Xiaoxiao came to Matriarch Wei with a serious expression. “Matriarch, welcome. Sorry for not welcoming you.” Everyone covered their eyes in unison.
What Matriarch? Call her Grandmother!
Also, what kind of expression was that?
She was meeting the parents, not her sworn brother. If one didn’t know, one would think that she was going to take out her saber in the next second and swear a blood oath with the other party!
Old Madam Wei snorted indifferently. “You’re Qin Canglan’s granddaughter?” Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment. “You can say that.”
Old Madam Wei dragged out her tone. “What do you mean by that? If you are, you are.”
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “In terms of bloodline, I do have a biological relationship with the old Protector Duke. However, my brother and I haven’t paid respects to our ancestors or entered the Qin family tree, so strictly speaking, I haven’t officially acknowledged our roots and ancestors.”
Acknowledging one’s roots and ancestors was a big deal. They had to choose an auspicious day. The date calculated by the Imperial Astronomer was in June.
Old Madam Wei sized Su Xiaoxiao up.
Old Madam Wei did not like thin young ladies who fell when the wind blew. One was more pleasing to the eye if one was fat.
An awkward silence followed.
Having lived for two lifetimes, she had never seen her would-be in-laws and lacked experience in this aspect.
Su Xiaoxiao could only improvise.
“Matriarch, did you come to the Number One Hall today to see a physician?
Old Madam Wei rolled her eyes at her.
No…
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “I understand. You’re here to see Wei Ting.”
Old Madam Wei glared at her with a dark expression.
Not really…
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around. “Are you here to see me?”
Old Madam Wei was speechless.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
Manager Sun coughed violently.
He risked being beaten to death by Matriarch Wei’s walking stick and pulled Su Xiaoxiao aside. “She’s here to see her great-grandsons!”
Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao coughed lightly and returned to Matriarch Wei’s side without changing her expression. “Dahu and the others haven’t finished school yet. Why don’t you go to the house first?”
Nanny Li handed the walking stick to Matriarch Wei and smiled. “Matriarch, give me the tea.”
Old Madam Wei took the walking stick and handed the teacup to Nanny Li.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Nanny Li gratefully.
No words could express her gratitude!
The group left the medical center.
Little Weizi, Ah Zhong, Yun Xiu, Ying’er, and Chef Cao gathered and stood on their tiptoes to look out the door.
“Can the boss do it?” Little Weizi asked.
Manager Sun nodded seriously. “Her demeanor was quite normal.”
The corners of Ah Zhong’s mouth twitched. “Is this normal?”
It was completely different from usual!
If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they probably wouldn’t have dared to admit it!
Manager Sun said enigmatically, “What do you know? This is already very good.”
That girl was really going to anger Matriarch Wei to death.
At the door, Su Xiaoxiao politely sent Matriarch Wei to the carriage. “Please get in.”
Old Madam Wei said to her, “Come up too.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Oh.”
Su Xiaoxiao was also careless. If Matriarch Wei asked her to do it, she would really do it.
When she lifted the curtain, she was dumbfounded.
There was one, two, three, four, five… Madams in the carriage.
They all looked at her in unison.
Su Xiaoxiao’s scalp went numb!
Facing five men was nothing. At most, they would fight.
With so many women… it would be difficult to put up a resistance.
Old Madam Wei sat down in the middle and introduced them one by one. “Wei
Ting’s sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, and fifth sister-in-law.”
The five of them nodded at Su Xiaoxiao in unison. Their postures were the same, even the angle was the same.
Madam Chu said, “My surname is Chu. I’m Little Seven’s sister-in-law.”
She was dignified and had the demeanor of a mistress of the family. She was the most similar to Matriarch Wei.
Madam Li said, “My surname is Li. I’m Little Seven’s second sister-in-law.”
Her voice was very soft and her temperament was cold. She was the only one among the five who was slightly weak.
Madam Chen said, “I’m Third Sister-in-law. My surname is Chen.”
This strong woman occupied the largest area and was the most energetic. It was obvious that she was skilled.
Madam Lan said, “I’m Madam Lan, Fourth Sister-in-law.”
She looked gentle and obedient, but there was cunning in her eyes, making Su Xiaoxiao think of Erhu.
Madam Jiang raised her chin and said, “My surname is Jiang. I raised Little
Seven!”
The four sisters-in-law looked at her!
She… was about the same age as Little Seven…
When other people met their in-laws, they met a pair. In her case, she met a nest.
Su Xiaoxiao broke down inwardly and smiled. “Hello, everyone. My surname is Su, and my name is… Xiaoxiao.”
She accidentally said her real name.
Everyone sized her up with indescribable expressions.
How… was she small?
The carriage was a little crowded, mainly because Su Xiaoxiao and Madam Chen occupied too much space.
Nanny Li was in another carriage and slowly followed behind.
Today, only Zhong Shan and Su Ergou were at home.
Su Ergou was bored and poured the feed of Sihu in the front yard.
Hearing the sound of the carriage, he hurriedly looked up at the door.
Su Xiaoxiao jumped out of the carriage.
He grabbed the shovel that he couldn’t put down in time and quickly walked over. “Sister, you’re back? You’re so early today!”
Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, “I don’t want to be so early either, but isn’t this to entertain my in-laws?”
“Your brother-in-law isn’t back yet?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Su Ergou replied, “No. When Brother-in-law went out this morning, he said that he would be back later.” Coming back later… that was good.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled.
Su Ergou’s heart skipped a beat. “Sister, your smile is so scary… Eh? Who is that?”
Matriarch Wei also alighted from the carriage.
Su Xiaoxiao reached out to help her and said to Su Ergou, “Old Madam Wei.”
“Oh.” Seeing her sister help her up, Su Ergou was especially polite. “Hello, Old Madam Wei.”
With that, he leaned close to his sister’s ear and asked in a low voice, “Who’s
Matriarch Wei?”
Old Madam Wei was speechless.
Su Xiaoxiao whispered, “Your brother-in-law’s grandmother.”
Su Ergou was enlightened. He straightened his back and shouted sincerely, “Hello, Grandmother!”
Old Madam Wei almost missed a step!
Soon, the five of them alighted from the carriage.
The five of them were dressed very plainly, and their buns were simple. There was nothing fancy about them.
Their movements were neat.
Su Ergou’s mind buzzed.. He was face blind…
