1411: Two Old Men Quarreling

Two Old Men Quarreling

When Grandpa Jian heard this comment, he rolled his eyes and replied: "What's the use of having a great-granddaughter? Sooner or later, she's going to be abducted by someone else's family!"0

His only granddaughter was abducted just like that!

Master Zhai snorted and replied: "Well, unlike you, the Zhai family will recruit a son-in-law in the future! She won't be marrying into another family. She will be ours forever."

All of a sudden, Grandpa Jian became upset: "Are you reminding me I shouldn't have agreed to marry Yiling into the Zhai family? Alright, I will get Yiling to divorce that brat of yours. If she does that, the child inside her belly will also be ours!"

"No way! Yiling belongs to our family! You can't take her back!"

In the beginning, when Master Zhai came with Zhai Yunsheng's marriage proposal, Grandpa Jian treated him incredibly respectfully and cautiously. Under no situation did he want to anger Master Zhai.

However, after interacting with him for a couple of years, Grandpa Jian was no longer afraid of Master Zhai.

"Why not? Divorce happens quite often in marriages. It's supported by the law! My darling granddaughter can divorce your grandson whenever she wants!" Grandpa Jian retorted.

"You're speaking nonsense! My granddaughter-in-law loves my grandson. If you really want someone to divorce, you can divorce your wife! Don't involve my precious granddaughter-in-law in your craziness!" 

Everything else was negotiable. However, Yiling was theirs!

"I watched Yiling grow up! She's much closer to me than to you! If you don't believe me, I will ask her whether she likes me more or likes you more!"

Once again, Master Zhai and Grandpa Jian began quarreling.

This was not the first time these two old men argued.

Ever since Yiling became pregnant, Grandpa Jian and Master Zhai began arguing at least once a week. 

And each time, their argument revolved around Jian Yiling and her soon-to-be-born child.

The two of them were once renowned and respected big shots in the corporate world. Together, their combined age was almost a hundred and sixty years old.

Yet, they were still arguing and bickering like children once again.

Even Jian Dan could not stand to watch this. He sighed like an adult and said to his brother in the crib: "Brother, we must not learn from them. They're way too noisy."

Jian Yumin who was peeling an apple for his wife in the ward commented enviously: "I hope we have this kind of energy when we get old."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiuen laughed: "Maybe it will be even more chaotic." 

"How come?"

"Because you'll have more people to argue with."

As there were so many brothers in the Jian family, if Jian Yumin wanted to argue with someone, there would absolutely be no shortage of people.

On the other hand, Jian Yuncheng, Jian Yunmo, and Jian Yunnao stood in a line outside Luo Xiuen's ward.

They were currently being reprimanded by their mother.

"Other people have two grandchildren already! What about me?" Wen Nuan questioned her sons.

"You're going to be a grandma soon," Jian Yunnao replied.

"But that's not the same[1]!"

Why were her sons so useless?

A few years ago, Wen Nuan did not understand Grandma Jian well. However, the older she became, the more she agreed with Grandma Jian's thought process.

Jian Shuxing hurriedly defended his sons: "A Nuan, relationships can't be forced. If they meet the right person, they will naturally get married. However, if they don't meet the right person, you can't force them to get married right? If you do that, it'll definitely do more harm than good."
