Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time! - Chapter 296

Chapter 296: Yun Yang’s Unyielding Attitude

“It was this daughter-in-law who gave the old man the milk powder. There were other things added to it, so it seems like she’s afraid of spending money.”

“That’s right. The Old Madam told me that her family was enjoying themselves every day, but they were still stingy when buying milk powder for the Old Master.”

“…”

Chen Li’s hearing was excellent. Even though these people tried their best to keep their voices down after seeing her, Chen Li still managed to extract crucial information from these voices and understood what these people were discussing.

Chen Li’s face was gloomy.

It turned out that these people said that she did not use the milk powder for the old man, but that there was something else added to the bag of milk that she gave the old man to drink. If that was the case, Chen Li was a little angry.

Was it not possible for their family to prepare a tonic for the old man? How could they add other things to the milk?

If this Old Madam had any complaints, she could just close the door and tell the whole family together. How could she not ask her about the truth of this matter? The Old Madam took this matter out of context and thought it to the dirtiest place, telling the neighbors around her.

This was simply an insult to her character.

With this thought in mind, Chen Li immediately rushed back home.

…

Yun Qiao had also heard some rumors, so he went home and told Yun Shan about this matter.

Yun Shan knew about this matter at the same time as Chen Li ran back home.

The two of them looked at each other, but they had not decided on how to handle this matter.

Yun Xi brought Yun Yang into the house. The two of them did not hear the gossip of their neighbors, nor did they know what had happened in the house.

Yun Yang still had an innocent look on his face as he ran and spoke. “Dad, I brought back the milk powder that my master made today. I’ll make it for grandfather to drink later.”

Yun Shan felt extremely emotional when he saw how filial his son was. For a moment, he did not know how to tell the child about this matter. In the end, he held back what he wanted to say.

“Good boy. Thank you for your hard work.”

“It wasn’t hard at all.” Yun Shan’s compliment made Yun Yang feel very pleased.

Yun Xi watched the interaction between the two people and realized that something was not right.

“What happened?” Yun Xi asked.

“Nothing,” Yun Shan hurriedly denied.

Yun Qiao could not bear to hide the truth from Yun Xi. He pulled her aside to avoid Yun Yang and told her the truth.

However, their act was too unnatural and they forgot that children were especially intelligent. Yun Yang also guessed that something else must have happened from his elder brother and sister’s abnormal actions. He pricked up his ears and heard the truth of the matter.

The Old Madam had really gone too far!

“Grandma, how could you comment on Mom like that? You don’t even know the truth and are just spouting nonsense.”

Yun Yang ran into the master bedroom and wanted to argue with the Old Madam.

Chen Li also followed him in. When she saw Yun Yang angrily question the Old Madam, she immediately understood that the matter would not be easily resolved tonight.

When the Old Madam heard this news, she was also a little angry. When she was in the countryside, she used to pull some old ladies to gossip. Why would she be reprimanded by the younger generation of her family when she gossiped a bit? How could she show her face in public now?

The Old Madam’s face showed displeasure and disdain. “You child, why are you so rude to your elders?”

“It’s because you went around telling people that we added something worthless into grandpa’s milk powder. It’s indeed not a normal milk powder, but it’s not a cheap additive. It was added with high-quality ginseng, Ganoderma, and powdered caterpillar fungus.”

“My Master used this to replenish Grandpa’s Qi, but my father was afraid that the price of these high-grade herbs would be too expensive and give grandpa pressure, so he didn’t tell him the truth. However, the neighbors have misunderstood us now, so shouldn’t I come out and explain?!”

Yun Yang’s attitude was very unyielding. His unyielding appearance did not seem like that of an eight-year-old child.

Chen Li looked at Yun Yang’s appearance and felt very gratified in her heart. She had long known that the child she had raised would definitely have a good upbringing. Although Yun Yang was young, his character was much tougher than hers.

“This…”

When the Old Madam heard these words, her expression turned ugly.

She did not know that the truth was like this. Now that the two of them were arguing, Old Master Yun had heard them clearly.

Old Master Yun’s expression also began to turn gloomy.
