Xi Family.
"It was all my younger daughter-in-law being ignorant and spouting off in front of Mr. Jiang. Since you know Mr. Jiang, why don’t you act as a go-between..."
Old Master Gao came to the Xi Family home, shamelessly asking Elder Xi to accompany him to the Jiang Family to apologize to Jiang Boya. He went on and on, saying this and that by the basketful, but seeing Elder Xi remain silent the whole time, he finally spoke out the true purpose of this visit.
"I can give you the address, or I can call them right now, but as for going there in person to apologize, I’m not going. If your younger daughter-in-law is really sincere about apologizing, Mr. Jiang and his granddaughter will definitely choose to forgive her, after all, that grandfather and granddaughter are reasonable people. On the other hand, if your younger daughter-in-law isn’t sincere about going to apologize, then even if I go along, it would be pointless.
As he spoke, to keep Old Master Gao from rambling on, Elder Xi dialed the Jiang family old house. After about five or six minutes, the call ended. He put the receiver back on the landline and said to Old Master Gao, "Mr. Jiang will be home tomorrow. Take this address and go find them; it’s very easy to find the place."
He took a black hardbound notebook and a fountain pen out of the drawer under the coffee table, "swish swish" wrote down the exact address of the Jiang family old house, then tore out that page and handed it to Old Master Gao.
"Old Xi, you really can’t be this intermediary?"
Putting away the slip of paper with the Jiang family old house address that Elder Xi had handed over, Old Master Gao continued trying to work on Elder Xi.
"Strictly speaking, with all these years of friendship between us, there’s actually no problem with me acting as this intermediary, but I have my own difficulties, and I hope you can understand.
Besides, as far as what happened yesterday is concerned, it was purely your Little Moonlight stirring up trouble, then your younger daughter-in-law refusing to let the matter stay small and using her position to bully others, while Mr. Jiang’s granddaughter was only testifying on behalf of my Little Yu,
yet your Little Moonlight falsely accused her of bullying her. To put it plainly, that little girl really was hit by a disaster out of nowhere and almost got slapped twice by your younger daughter-in-law.
And another thing, we’re not senile. Just looking at what your younger daughter-in-law did—can you honestly say she wasn’t deliberately picking soft targets to bully? The moment she got to the kindergarten, she didn’t go after my Little Yu or the little girl from Old Jhiang’s family,
but singled out that little girl named Guoguo to vent her anger on. Her behavior was truly vile. On what grounds would I have the face to help you go plead your case in front of Mr. Jiang?"
Xiao Guoguo was wronged by the Gao Family’s little girl for the sake of his Little Yu, and even almost got two slaps from the Gao Family’s younger daughter-in-law. If he had even a shred of conscience, he couldn’t help the Gao Family go play the lobbyist.
In Elder Xi’s view, this "intermediary" Old Master Gao was talking about was nothing more than wanting to use his old face to help plead their case, hoping that, for his sake, Jiang Boya would smooth over what the Gao Family’s younger daughter-in-law had done.
