Chapter 515 – A Woman Who Doesn’t Know How To Treat Her Husband Is Rubbish
It was fortunate that Qin Xiaowen had specifically reminded Mrs. Qin that the Old Woman had a bad temper. It seemed that not only did she have a bad temper, her mouth was also very vicious.
After years of going through wind and rain, Xian Guiying's heart had become numb upon hearing words like this. She just smiled lightly at the Old Woman's prejudice, saying, "I will remember grandmother's lesson. Please don't be angry because of me."
Hearing her words, the Old Woman's face changed. She looked at Xian Guiying twice more, then turned around and said, "When will Gengxin be back? I want to see him."
"I already asked Guiying to call him, but the boy is usually very busy. I don't know when he will be back. If you can't wait, then mom, why don't you go to rest earlier." Qin Xiaowen smiled.
The Old Woman leaned back on the couch and sighed, "I don't even know where my grandson is. I really don't know how he lives his life."
Facing the Old Woman's chatter, even though Xian Guiying managed to suppress her anger, she still had to endure it. In this Old Woman's eyes, it was Xian Guiying's fault all of this happened, so she might just stand there and wait for her to finish her berate.
After a while, Qin Gengxin's grandmother stretched out her legs and said, "Why is it so cold in this foreign country? The room is not warm, and my legs are cold."
Xian Guiying lowered her head to look at Qin Wenqiang, who was asleep in her arms. She turned to the Duo and said, "Go get a warm footpad for grandma."
"I'm not used to using that!" The Old Woman immediately said with a disgusted look. "Boil a hot water for me, come wash my feet."
Qin Xiaowen frowned on the side, but he didn't say anything. Mrs. Qin also glanced at Xian Guiying.
"Madam, I'll wash it for you!" Dalisay hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Qin Gengxin's grandmother glared at her. "I don't need you. I have my grandson's wife to do that, why do I need you, an outsider?"
Dalisay walked away, feeling wronged.
Looking at the current situation, Xian Guiying could tell that this Old Woman was clearly trying to show her strength.
"She's asleep. Take her upstairs." Xian Guiying handed Qin Wenqian to the Duo. She went to get a basin of hot water and carried it to the Old Woman's feet. She rolled up her sleeves and used her hands to prop the Old Woman's legs.
At this moment, the sound of the car turning off its engine came from outside the door.
Xian Guiying carefully pulled the Old Woman's leg and put it in the hot water basin. Her demeanor was gentle and not the slightest intention of quarreling with the Old Woman shown on her face.
Qin Xiaowen quietly frowned and stared at Mrs. Qin. Mrs. Qin also felt that her mother was not very kind to Xian Guiying, so she had to communicate with Qin Xiaowen through eye contact, with a slight feeling of helplessness in her eyes.
"Aiya! You want to scald me to death!" Suddenly, the Old Woman's foot landed on Xian Guiying's face.
Xian Guiying's entire body fell backwards from the kick. The boiling hot water in the basin almost came out. She quickly holds the edge of the basin. She didn't let the water spill, but there was still a lot splashing onto her hands and her pants.
"Mom!" Mrs. Qin quickly stopped the Old Woman from hitting Xian Guiying. "Guiying, are you all right?" As she comforted her, she held the Old Woman's hand to keep her from moving.
The Old Woman looked at Xian Guiying, who was washing her feet with a dissatisfied look, "Such a grown-up woman, she doesn't even know how to wash other people's feet. Don't you know that the water is very hot? Or do you think I don't feel anything because I'm an old woman and my skin is thick?"
"This water is just right for warming feet. If I use cold water, it won't have a good effect. Grandmother, you also know that you should test the water's temperature first before putting your feet slowly. I just let your feet touch the water surface, there's no –"
"You dared to blame me! How can a clumsy person like you be my grandson's wife? Women like you, if you were in our generation, you would never be able to get married! It's only because you have that old Xian Tingfeng as your backer that you can marry our Gengxin! Get lost! I don't need you to wash my feet anymore."
With that, the Old Woman lifted her legs and laid them on the couch with a disgusted face.
"Mom, your words are too harsh. Guiying is still young, so she can't stand your old-fashioned thoughts." Qin Xiaowen finally couldn't take it anymore and said something fair.
The Old Woman looked at him. "What era is it now? Why is it different? Isn't the person still the same with two eyes, one nose, and one mouth? Where's the difference? What's the point of this woman just knowing how to do business? A woman who doesn't know how to treat her husband is rubbish. Look at your granddaughter! Look at how she taught her. That foolish granddaughter made my daughter's ears turn red!"
Xian Guiying looked at the basin and gripped its edge tightly with her hands. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and sit on the ground. Her grip getting tighter and tighter. After about ten seconds, she exhaled softly to calm herself down.
Suddenly, the sound of the door being unlocked came from outside. Qin Gengxin pushed the door open and entered. When he saw the mess, he stopped and immediately asked, "What's going on?"
The carpet between the two rows of couches was filled with water. The usually clean and tidy Xian Guiying was sitting on the floor. Next to her was a plastic basin. There was quite a bit of water on her face and hair, along with her clothes. She looked battered and exhausted.
"Aiyo, my grandson, you are finally back!" The layer of cloud that had covered the Old Woman's face immediately disappeared and replaced by a kind smile. "You made grandma waited for you ~"
"Son." The situation was difficult to explain. Qin Xiaowen feared that Xian Guiying, this child, wouldn't be able to bear it. If the Old Woman continued like this, it would really cause conflict.
He stood up and said, "Why are you late? Didn't Guiying call you?"
Qin Gengxin's gaze swept the Old Woman and Mrs. Qin, then swept to Xian Guiying, who immediately took the basin of water without saying a word. He then looked at Qin Xiaowen. "I found out about your arrival yesterday, but I was in New York and had a few things to do. I'm sorry for not returning on time. I had to take the afternoon flight back to Boston."
While saying that, he directly walked inside.
As Xian Guiying turned around to leave with the basin in her hand, he held her wrist and glanced at her red face. "What happened to you?"
