Usually, people would stay away from such relatives.
However, Yank knew Lucy very well. She was a kind woman and didn't want to break up with her family.
"Yank, you promise me that no matter how they ridicule you, you try your best to endure them." Lucy stopped Yank and begged.
Yank took a deep breath. He knew that Lucy was afraid that he could not endure being ridiculed and hurt her grandmother's family.
Did she feel he was cruel?
Yank nodded. When they entered in, they heard a disgusting voice.
"Lucy and her useless husband are coming."
Suddenly, Yank felt that several people were looking at him at the same time. He held his anger and ignored them, but he also knew what kind of people they are.
They were snobbish!
The speaker was a middle-aged woman. She wore a dazzling golden necklace and dressed very luxuriously. She looked proud as if everyone owed her a lot of money.
Yank felt very ridiculous.
Yank didn't say anything and found a seat to sit down. The woman felt dissatisfied and said, "Lucy, your husband is so impolite and didn't know to greet the elders."
Lucy was embarrassed and said, "Auntie, don't be angry. It's my fault that I don't introduce Yank to you before. Please forgive me."
She looked at Yank, indicating him to say hello.
Yank said, "Nice to meet you, auntie!"
"Mom, don't be angry. Yank feels proud to be Lucy's husband and looks down on us. We have to work hard to make money, but he can get money easily." A man stood up and comforted the woman.
But his words were full of sarcasm.
Hearing that, Lucy felt very unpleasant.
But she didn't know how to contradict them. If she told them Yank was not a good-for-nothing and he was powerful and good at fighting, few people would believe her.
But Yank smiled and said, "Hello, cousin. According to what you say, you should be a winner, right?"
Lucy looked at Yank and thought that Yank was making trouble.
