"I suddenly learned that my Henry got married. I was a little worried, not knowing what kind of girl he came back with. Now that I see you, I feel much more at ease. You're pretty, you have a good heart, you're reasonable. Standing together, it's a perfect match." Nina looked at Bailey with a smile, and the more she looked, the happier she became.
"Grandma, why do you say I'm a good match to everyone you see?" If Bailey remembers correctly, that day Nina also said that Floyd was a good match for her.
When she said that, Nina remembered as if she had said it that day.
"Well, you're a good girl, and there are so many good men in the world, and you're a perfect match for anyone standing with them. But now that you've chosen our Henry, you've already made the best choice, because our Henry is the best man in the world. Just be good to him, he won't let you down." Nina praised her grandson with the pride of an elder.
"What about Henry compared to Floyd?" Bailey deliberately taunted Nina.
This multiple-choice question gave Nina a little hesitation and a moment of indecision, "My Henry is still the best."
At this moment, the grandmother's affection for her grandson triumphed over the fanatical power of stardom.
However, the next moment, Nina immediately added, "So you just focus on living with my Henry. Let go of Floyd and let me take over."
After they had reached an agreement, Bailey and Nina came out of the bathroom and returned to the dining room.
"Mom, why are you back so late? The dishes are getting cold." Lynn was getting impatient and had a feeling in her heart that it wasn't a good thing to let her mother-in-law be alone with Bailey for so long. What if the mother-in-law gets tricked by Bailey's sweet talk?
"What did both of you say just now?" Lynn asked in a vague way.
"A little talk about family affairs." Nina was joking with her daughter-in-law.
"To be honest, Miss Bailey is a very inspiring child. After her father's death, she lived with her mother, living a hard life." Lynn had a veiled criticism of Bailey. Bring up the fact that Bailey comes from a single-parent family and that her family is in a difficult situation.
Henry glanced at his stepmother and was about to speak when he saw his grandmother give him a wink, telling him not to act rashly. Then Nina's grandmother spoke: "Children from single-parent families tend to be more mature and strong. I heard that the president of the United States is from a single-parent family, so it's all about how the person is."
Lynn was taken aback. How could her mother-in-law think that way? She didn't have the slightest idea of matching social status. At first, even Harold was dissatisfied when he heard the Bailey family's offer.
"Grandma is right."Even if you have both parents, if you don't educate them well, you can still get into the police station," Henry said, raising his wine glass and bowing his grandmother across the table.
This alluded to Paula's entry into the police station.
Immediately Paula's face changed as she tried to slap the table and stand up, but Keith stopped her. Henry said this, without naming names, there was no time to dodge, and he couldn't rush over to admit it.
Lynn knew it was Henry expressing his dissatisfaction to her, but she ignored it. She should take advantage of the time when Bailey is still in the house to speak of her as nothing, so that her mother-in-law won't show favoritism to her granddaughter-in-law in the future.
"Yeah, you're right. Miss Bailey is just stronger than the average person." Lynn wiped her hands with a white handkerchief to ease her embarrassment, "Miss Bailey's mother is not in good health, and Miss Bailey is willing to borrow money to treat her mother."
This time it's a different story. Bailey's family is not only single-parent, but her mother is seriously ill and she has to borrow money. It's a heavy burden to see what her mother-in-law will do this time.
"Among all virtues, filial piety comes first. A person who can treat his mother like this must be wrong. My old woman is seventy-nine years old this year. When I can't get up in the future, I will be satisfied if all of you treat me like this."
Instead of looking down upon Bailey, Nina's grandmother expressed her high praise for Bailey's behavior and had such a feeling. At this moment, Nina was no longer as fanatical and crazy as she was at Floyd's concert. She was now an elegant and dignified old lady, with an air of noble intellectuality, and every word she said to her children and grandchildren carried a flavor of deep affection.
Lynn frowned slightly. She sensed that something was amiss with the atmosphere. Given her mother-in-law's attitude, she couldn't continue to say this. If she went on, not only would she fail to strike Bailey, but she would make herself seem aggressive.
Lynn stopped speaking and picked up a piece of the silver roll with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly. The silver roll was baked soft and sweet, soft and smooth, but when Lynn put it in her mouth, she felt a bitter taste. The scene before her eyes seemed to have a bad start.
Just as Lynn stopped speaking, Paula couldn't hold back any longer.
Just now, Henry had been whispering to her, and she was getting angry. Now, seeing her mother say a few words at the table, but her grandmother didn't respond at all, she became even more anxious.
If you have something to say, be straightforward. Why be so half-hidden? Let grandma know exactly what kind of wonderful person Bailey is.
"Grandma, my elder brother chose Bailey, and we were all surprised that he made the decision without consulting the family in advance. A woman who has killed four fiances in a row, I really don't know what my brother meant by bringing her into House of Morris."
Harold rebuked his daughter: "Paula, you're getting more and more unruly. How can you talk nonsense?"
Harold was a filial son. He thought about some things about Henry and Bailey and explained them to his mother slowly, so as not to have an unpleasant meeting and affect his mother's mood.
I didn't expect that while I was being evasive here, Lynn and Paula were telling everything.
"It wasn't Paula who was talking nonsense. It was the truth, and Miss Bailey herself didn't shy away from it. It was because Paula regarded her as a family that she spoke so openly." Lynn also felt that her daughter was speaking too sharply, but now Paula's words couldn't be taken back, so Lynn could only defend her daughter with all her might.
Nina's grandmother put down her chopsticks and turned her head to Paula, saying, "What kind of hard or soft? Isn't this choosing the sofa? What kind of hard or soft? Paula, don't you read the party newspaper every day? How can you believe in these feudal superstitions?"
These two words slapped Paula's face hard.
Not only Paula, but Harold was very concerned about the matter of Bailey. Now, upon hearing what his mother said, the thought in his mind immediately dared not come out.
Henry and Bailey looked at each other and thought to themselves, "Grandma, well done."
