Mr Wood The Legend novel Chapter 71

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.

Although her grandmother's family was not as powerful as the Long family, they had a pretty good life. Besides, Summer was an outstanding young generation of her grandmother's family.

Today it was Summer who invited them to have a meal together.

Hearing what Yank said, Summer said, "I just obtain a piece of land in downtown. Compared with you, it's nothing."

"I'm very jealous of you, because you have a beautiful wife, and she can support your life. You can be a useless man until you die. Lots of men dream of this kind of life."

Yank was not angry at all. He nodded and said proudly, "You're right. I also think so. It's so lucky for me to be Lucy's husband!"

Lucy felt awkward. She glared at Yank and indicated to him not to argue with Summer.

Lucy's aunt frowned and said, "Lucy, you shouldn't stay with such a useless man. Don't you feel ashamed of him?"

Hearing this, Yank felt angry. He asked, "Auntie, what do you mean? Why do you think I am useless? I think you don't respect me."

Yank couldn't help to argue with Lucy's aunt.

Everyone was shocked.

Summer immediately stood up again and said, "What do you mean? Does my mother say something wrong? Do you deserve our respect?"

Lucy couldn't stand it anymore. She said angrily, "Summer, you are too much. Even if he is a good-for-nothing, I can educate him at home. Why do you say such harsh words?"

Everyone was silent.

So, Yank knew that Lucy had a great reputation in front of her grandmother's family.

Summer also said nothing and sat down with his mother. The atmosphere in the private room became serious.

After Lucy sat down, Yank apologized, "Sorry Lucy, I can't bear it."

If it were her, she would not be able to bear it. Yank already tried his best to stand it, but he still apologized to her, making her feel ashamed.

"You don't have to apologize to me. Don't care about what they say."

There was a sudden noise outside the door.

A man shouted, "I want this room to treat my guests later, so you can prepare another room for them and I will compensate you for the loss."

"Sir, I can't break the rules, so I advise you to choose another room!"

A middle-aged fat man ignored the waiter and opened the door.
