Myrna incident was quite a big deal back then . Elton and Clara even went to H City specifically , but after coming back they refused to say anything.
But judging from the rumors she had heard, the actual situation should not be much different.
It’s just that Myrna doesn’t want to continue studying because she wants to fall in love.
It is said that her boyfriend is in good condition and seems to be a rich man. No wonder she doesn’t even read books but wants to tie him down.
Elton and Clara couldn’t help but frown.
Myrna was very calm: “No. We have broken up.”
“I heard that those rich guys have very high standards, and they might just be playing around with you. Look how stupid you are to take it seriously. Not everyone can marry into a wealthy family.” Lynn said, shaking her head.
“If you ask me, a girl’s reputation is the most important thing. You’ve been together for so many years, and he … didn’t give me any compensation?”
In TV dramas, those rich old men are very generous and give breakup fees of tens of millions.
From this point of view, Myrna is not at a disadvantage …
But Lynn felt a little sour.
You can get so much money just by sleeping with someone for a few years. It’s like a wild chicken turning into a phoenix. But why?
Myrna is not some stunning beauty, so why did she make all this money? And why did she make it so easily ?
that mean the Elton family has also become powerful ?
Myrna raised her eyes, her gaze was somewhat sharp, and she looked directly at Lynn : “Second aunt, what do you think I should get as compensation?”
“Just, money, jewelry … ”
“That’s enough!” Elton slammed the table and stood up suddenly, “Second sister-in-law, although we are a family, I ask you to be polite!”
Lynn also stood up: “How am I being rude? I’m just concerned about my niece, is that okay?”
“Is there anyone who cares about others as much as you do?”
“Hey, Elton , what do you mean by that?”
Clara stood up and squeezed her daughter’s hand: “Second sister-in-law, Elton ‘s meaning is very simple, that is, you speak harshly, regardless of the occasion, without evidence, and talk nonsense.”
Lynn originally thought that she stepped forward to mediate the conflict. After all , Clara was usually gentle, especially in front of her grandparents .
I didn’t expect that she would confront me head-on this time!
Lynn couldn’t win the argument because she was not in the right. She immediately kicked Adam and yelled, “Are you dead? Your wife was bullied, do you care?”
Adam curled his lips and ate his own food without any reaction.
Jenny also chose to ignore it.
Bang!
Grandma threw down her chopsticks and looked at Elton coldly : “Are you done yet? Your second sister-in-law only said a few unpleasant words, but they were not completely unreasonable. Besides, her starting point was good. Do you two have to make such a fuss and keep harping on it?”
Elton felt wronged: “Mom! Listen to what my second sister-in-law said. Is there anyone who would say that about her own niece? Why are you still standing on her side?”
” Although Lynn’s words are unpleasant to hear, they are not wrong if you look closely. When ordinary couples break up, they still have to pay compensation for emotional damages, let alone the rich people in H City ? They should be more generous, otherwise, our daughter will be slept with for nothing.”
“Mom…” Elton’s eyes were red with anger, ” Myrna is also your granddaughter, how can you talk like that?!”
Clara was almost so angry that she burst into a curse, but luckily she was still rational. She took a deep breath and turned to look at Elton : “This meal is really boring, dear , let’s go home.”
Facing the two elderly people , she has tried her best to be patient and give in, but when it comes to her daughter, if she retreats and endures again, she will not be worthy of being a mother!
“It’s not only boring, it’s so delicious that it makes me feel sick! Clara , Myrna , let’s go!”
Elton finished speaking, he left the table with his wife and daughter.
Grandma looked at his back and cursed, “You unfilial son! You were led astray by a vixen and dared to disobey your parents! I say one thing and you say ten things, each of which is a sign of disobedience! Go away, go far away, and take the little vixen born by the vixen with you, and never recognize me as your mother!”
Clara ‘s blatant defiance was a slap in the face to her.
At this moment, grandma ‘s dislike for her daughter-in-law reached its peak, and she even resented her son Elton .
Why choose someone like this when there are so many other people to look for!
The old saying is indeed true: once you marry a wife, you forget your mother!
They are all disobedient and unfilial things!
…
On the way home, Elton was silent.
Clara gently squeezed his hand.
Elton looked up and smiled at her, indicating that he was fine.
I have become accustomed to my mother’s partiality over the years, and this kind of “unpleasant partings” has happened more than once or twice.
He could have tolerated it in the past, but since it involved Myrna , no matter how good-tempered Elton was, he could not tolerate their slander.
When they got home, Clara was about to cook, but was held down by Myrna .
“Mom, let me do it.”
“you?”
When she was at home, Myrna never had to do housework. Elton would always prepare the food and bring it to her.
“Yes, today I’ll let you taste my cooking skills.”
“Don’t burn down the kitchen.” Elton, who was originally in a depressed mood , couldn’t help but say.
Myrna was angry and said, “Am I so inferior?!”
The couple nodded in unison.
Myrna : ” … ”
An hour later-
Looking at the table of food in front of them, Elton and Clara looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Clara swallowed. ” You did all this? ”
Myrna raised her chin: “Hmm~”
Elton picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, his eyes lit up immediately: “You know what, it tastes pretty good!”
Clara : “Is this true?”
“Try it … ”
“Hiss!” Clara ate a piece of pork ribs and then took a breath, “When did you learn this?”
I can’t believe it!
Myrna replied arrogantly: “Do you think I have been hanging around for nothing these past few years? Eat quickly, it will get cold soon.”
The family of three had a hearty meal.
After eating, Myrna pressed Clara and Elton to the sofa to watch TV while she went into the kitchen to wash the dishes and clean up.
When I finished and came out, before I even walked into the living room, I heard Elton’s slightly choked voice:
” Clara , Myrna has suffered a lot out there these years .”
“Yes, judging by the way she selects the vegetables and her proficiency in frying them in the pan, she must have cooked them a lot.”
Myrna’s eyes were red.
In the middle of the night, there was a heavy snowfall. The wind was biting cold outside the window, but the people in the house were sleeping soundly.
Myrna woke up in the morning, she heard Elton say, “It snowed too much last night and the balcony door broke again. Don’t go to the balcony these two days. It would be bad if it gets hit.”
I have lived in this old neighborhood for decades. Although the structure of the house is still solid, the things inside have long been old and rotten. Once extreme weather occurs, problems are likely to arise.
Myrna looked around. As far as she could remember, she had lived here since she was born. Her home had not changed over the years.
She didn’t realize it before, but today she realized that her house is very old.
Even the decoration is still in the style of more than ten years ago.
” … What makes you say I destroyed it? Which eye of yours saw me do it? Don’t think you can slander me just because you’re a shitty writer!”
Hearing the sound of an argument outside, Myrna and Elton hurried to the yard.
Clara’s eyes were red and her breathing was rapid, while Donna opposite her was standing with her hands on her hips, looking relaxed and proud.
