That's a product of the times. Your maternal grandmother's favoritism is something your aunt and I know better than anyone. But what can we do? She's our own mother, and we can't change her. What can we do?

At most, we can only have less contact with her, but we still need to be filial to her. Besides, even if we don't see our maternal grandmother, we still need to see our maternal grandfather, who is very good to us.

"You don't like Grandma, so I'll bring you back less often, but we can't say things like that anymore."

Yu Yang nodded listlessly and didn't say anything more.

Zhou Yi understood Chen Hong's mother's situation from their conversation and was no longer nervous; as long as she wasn't dissatisfied with him, that was enough.

Chen Hong explained to him, "Don't mind it, that's just how my mom is, it's not directed at you."

She wanted us to have a wedding ceremony and a banquet to invite relatives to celebrate, but I didn't agree, and she got a little angry.

Zhou Yi, my mom and I have some disagreements and we never seem to get along. Today, because of me, you've been neglected by the old lady. I'm so sorry!

Zhou Yi understood her very well. Most of his comrades-in-arms came from rural areas, and after serving together for so many years, he knew a lot about the situation in rural areas.

Preferring sons to daughters is very common in rural areas. Not to mention sons, it's also normal for parents to show favoritism even among boys.

He had seen old ladies like Chen Hong's mother before, so it wasn't unusual for him.

However, he felt very uncomfortable that such a thing happened to Chen Hong.

No wonder Chen Hong got divorced. She would rather stay in Yujia Village with her child and risk going out to sea to fish than go back to her parents' home in Jinan!

A lack of familial affection might be the reason why Chen Hong strives to be a strong woman.
