Xie Qingxiao told Brother Xie directly about Zhang Pengfei's dinner invitation.

Brother Xie didn’t tell Sun Lanjun.

The couple has been in a cold war for the past few months.

At the beginning, Sun Lanjun thought that Brother Xie would coax her as he did before, but as time went by, Brother Xie showed no intention of compromising.

He goes out early and comes back late every day, rarely eats at home, and it seems that his home has become just a place for him to sleep.

She was sad and anxious, wondering if she didn't take the initiative to bow to Brother Xie, they would have lived like this for the rest of their lives.

Especially after the winter vacation, she had a lot of free time and couldn't help but have wild thoughts.

When she was extremely sad, she thought about just bowing her head, but she could not lower her head which was always noble in front of Brother Xie.

In order to avoid having wild thoughts at home, she took Xiaoni to play with the neighbors in the staff quarters in the afternoon.

Most of these neighbors are here to help their sons and daughters-in-law take care of their children, or are unemployed mothers who are here to take care of their children full-time.

The children were chasing each other and playing, while the adults were chatting and sewing shoe soles and clothes nearby.

When talking about Sun Lanjun, someone asked curiously: "Lanjun, why haven't you seen your mother-in-law come to the county town recently?"

Xie's mother lived in the staff housing compound for several years. She had a good personality and got along well with the people in the compound. It was normal for someone to care about her.

But to Sun Lanjun, who had recently had a deep rift with Xie's mother, it was inevitable that it sounded a bit harsh.

With a hint of sarcasm, he said, "She doesn't have the energy to think about me and Qingrong right now."

"What do you mean?" When someone saw that Sun Lanjun was in a bad mood, his curiosity was aroused.

"Because her daughter-in-law is pregnant and will soon have a grandson, why would she still remember me, the daughter-in-law who can't give birth to a grandson, and Xiaoni, the granddaughter?"

Although the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is still very common, city dwellers will not express it so obviously and will even try to cover it up at critical moments.

Moreover, there were several people present who had given birth to daughters but not sons and were unable to have more children due to policy reasons. They were the most sensitive to such things and were indignant before they could even think about the fact that Xie's mother was not that kind of person:

"There is such a thing? This is too biased. No matter what, you are her daughter-in-law... Even if she doesn't come to see you, Xiao Ni will come to see you, right?"

"No wonder~" someone suddenly exclaimed.

Sun Lanjun was immediately attracted to the topic: "What's the matter?"

"I saw your brother-in-law come to see Qingrong yesterday. He said that your parents-in-law's adopted son bought a house in the city and invited your family to dinner. Your husband was very happy and said that he would bring Xiaoni with him. I thought it was strange when I heard it. Why didn't he take you with him?"

"Godson?"

"I think his name is Pengfei. What's wrong? You don't even know that your parents-in-law have adopted a godson, do you?"

Sun Lanjun: “…” She really doesn’t know!

She knew that Zhang Pengfei was Xie Qingxiao's brother, but she had always looked down on Xie Qingxiao, so naturally she looked down on Zhang Pengfei as well.

As a result, now Zhang Pengfei has become godparents to Xie's father and mother, bought a house in the county town and wants to treat the whole family to a dinner, but he doesn't invite her?

At that moment, Sun Lanjun's blood boiled. She stood up suddenly and turned away.

Everyone was startled by her sudden action. Xiao Ni, who was playing with other children, suddenly saw her mother walking away in big strides.

She thought her mother didn't want her anymore, so she burst into tears and ran after her: "Mom, wait for me, Mom!"

When Sun Lanjun heard Xiaoni's crying, she remembered that her daughter was still behind her. She turned back with big strides, grabbed Xiaoni's arm and pulled her forward.

Xiao Ni couldn't keep up with her and was almost dragged by her.

This time, Xiao Ni's deafening crying failed to attract her attention.

The neighbors behind him couldn't stand it anymore and called out, "Lanjun, be careful, you're dragging Xiaoni away with you, don't get hurt."

However, Sun Lanjun still turned a deaf ear.

She pushed Xiao Ni away only after she got all the way back home. The first thing she wanted to do was to come back and question Brother Xie, but when she got home she remembered that Brother Xie was not at home.

She began to pace around the room in annoyance. She felt like she was about to explode with anger, but she couldn't, so she started to throw things.

Crackling.

Xiao Ni was very scared and cried louder and louder.

"Shut up!" Sun Lanjun turned around and said viciously.

Xiao Ni was obviously very afraid of Sun Lanjun. She didn't dare to cry and huddled in the corner sobbing.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of her daughter, whom she had always held in the palm of her hand, Sun Lanjun finally regained some of her senses and took Xiaoni back to her parents' home.

The grandson's mother was at home taking care of her grandson. When she saw her daughter coming back angrily, she immediately asked with a sullen face, "Why are you back again?"

She has been fed up with her grandson's mother lately. She has a bad temper and is willful. She doesn't consider others at all and has caused chaos in her mother's family.

Unexpectedly, this time Sun Lanjun did not get angry, but sat on the sofa and started crying.

Although Sun's mother had many conflicts with Sun Lanjun recently, she actually loved her daughter very much. She felt distressed when she saw her crying.

It happened that Sun Lanjun's sister-in-law was at home, so she asked her sister-in-law to take the children out to play, and she sat next to Sun Lanjun.

"Why are you crying? What happened? Tell mom," said Sun's mother.

Sun Lanjun was still crying.

Mother Sun sighed: "Don't cry, you have to tell me, then I will know how to help you."

Only then did Sun Lanjun tell the whole story of what had happened.

Sun's mother was relatively fair. She did not blindly stand on her daughter's side after hearing this. Instead, she asked, "Why didn't they tell you? Wasn't it because you were too willful and noisy?"

"So it's still my fault?" Sun Lanjun was a little unconvinced when he heard it.

"It's really your fault," Sun's mother said unhappily, "We spoiled you in the past and made you develop such a willful personality now!"

"Your mother-in-law is a very good person. When you gave birth to Xiaoni, she diligently came to the county town to help you take care of the child. You were ungrateful and sent her back. She went back and didn't blame you. She occasionally came to bring you food and drinks...

Even I can't do this to my daughter-in-law! You are not satisfied, and you think everyone should flatter you!

Now, people are completely hurt by you and ignore you. Even Qingrong is disappointed in you!

Don't rush to refute me. I am your biological mother. Would I not help you but your husband's family? No way!"

Sun Lanjun: “…”

Her crying became quieter, and after a long while, she angrily said, "Is my personality like this naturally? It's you who made me like this!"

And put all the blame on them.

Sun's mother was speechless and said, "Yes, it's our fault, but now you have to bear the consequences yourself! If you are unwilling to change, your life will be even worse in the future. Just bear with it."
