Perhaps worried that his sister Yuan Bao would disappear again, Yuan Shouhu kept holding her hand and didn’t let go even after he fell asleep.
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng watched the sleeping siblings and both sighed.
Mrs. Zeng, seeing her grandson’s anxious manner, felt a pang of compassion.
Before Mrs. Zeng could finish her sentence, Old Yuan shook his head and said, "Impossible!"
"You see how good a child Shouhu is!"
"Shouhu is indeed good, but will the fourth daughter-in-law change?"
"This thought should not occur anymore!"
"Jiaojiao was really lucky this time to meet Xiao Wu’s friend."
Mrs. Zeng sighed. Follow current novᴇls on novel⸺fire.net
They say marry a wise woman, but back then, why did she let the fourth son marry such a wife?
And the fourth son is such a scoundrel; as a man, he can’t even take charge. A grown man letting a woman control him, isn’t he ashamed?
Mrs. Zeng muttered to herself anxiously.
But no matter what she thought, it was too late to change the situation.
Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li were also not asleep; they knew that Yuan Shouhu had gone to Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng’s room. They just didn’t expect their son to never come back.
"Go, bring our son back!"
Seeing that the light in the main room was out and their son hadn’t returned, Mrs. Xiao Li nudged Yuan Zhaodi.
"Bring him back for what?"
Yuan Zhaodi glanced at Mrs. Xiao Li, "He’s in his grandparents’ room. If he’s sleeping there, let him sleep, why bring him back?"
Mrs. Xiao Li opened her mouth but had nothing to say.
The grandson was sleeping in his grandparents’ room, what’s wrong with that?
But Mrs. Xiao Li felt uneasy.
After a while, Mrs. Xiao Li nudged Yuan Zhaodi again and said, "What if Shouhu doesn’t come back tomorrow?"
"Then he doesn’t come back!"
Yuan Zhaodi looked at Mrs. Xiao Li with some irritation, "If you want to bring him back, go by yourself. What? Are you afraid to see my parents?"
"Why should I be afraid?"
Mrs. Xiao Li wasn’t afraid to see Old Yuan or Mrs. Zeng; she was afraid to see Yuan Bao.
Especially afraid that when they meet, Yuan Bao would call her "Fourth Aunt."
Even though she didn’t think she did anything wrong, it still bothered her that her own daughter no longer acknowledged her.
Of course, she wouldn’t admit that she felt a bit indignant inside.
That a disobedient and unruly little girl, who had run away on a whim, wasn’t only not suffering but came back dressed so fancily.
Everyone said that this wretched girl was blessed; why?
After all, she had given birth to fraternal twins!
The good fortune the Yuan Family encountered, why was it all attributed to this wretched girl, and why couldn’t it be because of her Shouhu?
Initially, Mrs. Xiao Li also believed it was all due to Yuan Bao. But gradually, seeing Yuan Bao being doted on, while her older son came second to everything, she started to feel unbalanced psychologically.
In her mind, sons should naturally be more important than daughters.
In this way, Mrs. Xiao Li’s mindset became more unbalanced. To the point where, even though Yuan Bao was her biological daughter, her heart was filled with resentment.
By this time, she had forgotten Yuan Bao was her biological child, and all that was left inside her was grievance and dissatisfaction.
So when Old Yuan announced the complete separation of the family, Mrs. Xiao Li erupted.
Moreover, she always believed she had done nothing wrong, that it was all for Yuan Bao’s good; after all, a daughter is destined to marry out.
