Li Xue was holding her child in her arms. When she saw Zhang Xiuying's knife coming towards her, she quickly let go of Xu Xiangxi's hand. However, Xu Xiangxi and her son were still holding Xu Anyu's jade pendant in their hands. Xu Anyu was immediately pulled and burst into tears again.

For the sake of Xu Anyu's delicate neck, Li Xue had to hold her and stood there stiffly, watching the knife falling towards her. She bent down and protected Xu Anyu tightly.

The next second, there was the sound of cloth being cut, followed by a muffled sound, and a blood mark was left on the sharp blade.

The scene seemed to have been muted, and everyone was stunned.

Zhang Xiuying looked at the knife in her hand and her eyes widened.

She came over with a knife just now because she was worried about Xu Xiangxi, and she just wanted to scare Li Xue and didn't intend to really hurt her.

Looking at Li Xue's pale face, the blood oozing from her arms, and Xu Anyu crying in her arms, she couldn't bring herself to apologize. Instead, she felt annoyed. Since the mother and daughter returned home, nothing had gone well!

When Xu Xiangxi saw that Li Xue was injured, she was even more frightened and subconsciously looked at Zhang Xiuying. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiuying did not blame her. Instead, she looked at Li Xue and Xu Anyu with disgust.

Xu Xiangxi was emboldened by Zhang Xiuying's attitude. He swallowed hard and said, "Li Xue, how could you be so careless as to bump into my knife?"

As he said this, he gave Zhang Xiuying a wink.

Zhang Xiuying immediately said, "Exactly. I don't know if the knife has no eyes. What if it hurts the child?"

Xu Xiangdong and Xu Weiguo, who were hiding in the house, had to come out when they heard the noise. They were also shocked when they saw the scene.

Xu Weiguo asked, "What's going on? Why would you resort to surgery?"

Zhang Xiuying cried out in injustice, twisting the whole story upside down and mocking Li Xue: "It's bad enough that you didn't give birth to a boy, but making such a scene on New Year's Day is just bad luck!"

Xu Xiangdong was also very dissatisfied: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go and bandage it? You made a mess at home, and you're the one cleaning it up?"

Li Xue held Xu Anyu in her arms and listened quietly to the Xu family's insults and accusations against her. Until Xu Xiangdong also attacked her, she raised her head and shouted at him with red eyes: "Xu Xiangdong, didn't you see the child crying like this? Are you still human?"

Since Li Xue married Xu Xiangdong, she has always spoken softly to him. Even when she found out that he was soliciting prostitutes outside, she did not have such an attitude as today. Xu Xiangdong was stunned by Li Xue's yelling.

As a man, his pride got the better of him. Regardless of whether Li Xue was still holding the child, he pushed her and said, "Why are you yelling at me? What's wrong with a little girl crying? Xiangxi fell in love with her jade, so what's wrong with giving it to her?"

Li Xue staggered after being pushed by him. Looking at Xu Anyu, whose little face was red from crying in her arms, she felt sad and angry.

It turned out that he was not ignorant, but knew everything, but chose to ignore the pain of her and the child and turned a deaf and dumb!

She could tolerate them treating her badly, but she couldn't let her children live in such a loveless family.

She looked at everyone in the room coldly, her gaze sweeping across their faces, her heart feeling cold.

This is the in-laws' home where she chooses to stay even if she has to endure it!

There is no sincerity at all, only ruthlessness and indifference!

She didn't say another word, endured the pain in her arm, turned around, took out her bag from the cabinet, and was about to leave with the child in her arms.

When Xu Xiangxi's son saw Xu Anyu leave, he started crying again: "I want it, I want it, I want it..."

Xu Xiangxi knew that her son was referring to the jade on Xu Anyu's neck, but since this had happened and Xu Weiguo was present, she didn't dare ask for it.

It was Zhang Xiuying who stepped forward and stopped Li Xue: "Where are you going with my granddaughter in your arms in the middle of winter?"

Li Xue looked up at her and sneered, "I didn't know An Yu is your granddaughter now?"

She walked past her and wanted to take the child away.

Zhang Xiuying grabbed her and said, "If you want to leave, then go on your own. The child is from my Xu family, you must stay!"

As he said that, he was about to snatch Xu Anyu from Li Xue's hands.

Li Xue naturally wouldn't let her have her wish. She protected Xu Anyu tightly and said to Xu Weiguo, who had been standing silently by the side, "Dad, you are the leader of the municipal government after all. Is this how you run your family?"

Xu Weiguo's face flushed at Li Xue's words. He coughed lightly and said to Zhang Xiuying, "What's the point of pulling and tugging? If she wants to take the child away, then let her. Why make such a fuss during Chinese New Year?"

Zhang Xiuying was not convinced and wanted to argue again, but when she met Xu Weiguo's warning eyes, she had to give up.

Her eyes fell on the auspicious cloud jade pendant that Xu Anyu had pulled out. Her eyes lit up and she reached out to pull it off: "It would be a waste to give such a good thing to a little girl. It's better to give it to my grandson."

Li Xue handed over her monthly salary to her, and no one knew where she got the money to buy such expensive jade. She didn't even settle the bill with her, which made her feel aggrieved.

As he said this, he ignored Xu Anyu who was crying and forcibly pulled the jade pendant off her neck.

Li Xue failed to stop her this time. She just watched Zhang Xiuying's actions with cold eyes and said the most vicious words in her life: "Then you have to make him keep it well. You have to see if you can bear the things you robbed."

After saying that, he hugged Xu Anyu and left Xu's house without looking back.

The cold wind was howling outside the house. Li Xue's injured arm was numb from the pain. Her heart was filled with endless resentment and hatred.

Xu Anyu's crying gradually subsided, her little mouth turned pale, she spit out a small mouthful of milk, and fell into a deep sleep.

She knew that if the child cried and made a fuss after hitting his head, it meant the situation was not serious. But if the child became drowsy or vomited, she had to be careful.
