Chapter 161 The Jade Pendant Was Borrowed

"Mom, Sidi is gone. All the clothes, shoes and other things in her room are gone." Zhang Xiuli ran downstairs shivering, shocked. She couldn't believe that her daughter, who had always been under her control, had run away from home.

Or he sneaked away before they got up.

"Sidi is gone? What did you do to her that she would leave at this time." Old Mrs. Yan also felt it was unbelievable. Now that her granddaughter was gone, who would wash her feet and underwear in the future?

"What can I do to her? I ignored her yesterday!" Zhang Xiuli was extremely anxious and looked at Old Lady Yan: "Mom, Sidi is missing, and there's no trace of the betrothal gift. The company can't be sold unless it pays off its debts."

Old Lady Yan clutched her purse tightly, her face stern. "Where can she go? Go look for her first. Jinghai is so small. Where can she hide without money? You are such a failure as a mother. You will be a waste even as a ghost in the future."

Zhang Xiuli sneered inwardly, thinking, "How good can a mother like you be who killed four sons be? What right do you have to criticize me?" Her current situation made her suppress her hatred for the old woman. She walked into the kitchen without saying a word and drank cold water to ease the anger in her heart.

The youngest son, Yan Yaozu, hugged her thighs and said worriedly, "Mom, my sister left without a word. Will there be no one to do the housework in the future? What should I do when I take a bath? She usually takes care of me when I take a bath. And my clothes and socks are smelly. I wet the bed last night, and the sheets are still smelly. Go out and find my sister."

"Yaozu, be good and sleep in your sister's room tonight. I'll go out and look for her." Zhang Xiuli sighed. There were too many things to do in this family. If she couldn't find her daughter, she would have to do it all. It was too tiring!

"Are you going out to find her now?" Yan Yaozu asked.

Zhang Xiuli nodded, and the next second Yan Yaozu yelled unhappily, "No! Who's going to make lunch for us if you go out? It's only eleven in an hour, and it's time for lunch. You have to cook!"

"Do I owe you?" Zhang Xiuli has always loved her son, but facing her son's throwing a tantrum at this moment, she suddenly felt that her son was not so cute. Her daughter was well-behaved, had a keen eye, and was willing to be ordered around by her, while her son ordered her around as a mother without any psychological burden.

Zhang Xiuli decided not to indulge him. She walked out of the kitchen and saw Yan Ma and Jiang Jie coming in through the window. Her face turned very ugly and she rushed out cursing, "Humph, you heartless devil, you knew something happened in our family and came here to watch the show, right? Get out, you are not welcome here!"

"We don't want to come yet." Sister Jiang cursed back even louder: "Call Yan Sidi out, we have something to ask her!"

"What do you want with my daughter? What's your attitude? She's just a cook."

"What's wrong with me cooking? Did I use your gas stove? Did I turn on your range hood? You and I have nothing to do with each other. Don't look down on me." When it comes to quarreling, Sister Jiang is also very reserved.

Yan's mother added fuel to the fire: "Call Yan Sidi out. We want her to return the gifts our eldest daughter gave her."

When Yan Nuo was a child, every time he came back to the old house with his parents, he would bring a lot of things, including gifts for his younger brothers and sisters. They would accept the gifts in front of him but continue to dislike his parents behind his back. However, Yan Nuo's parents never changed the habit of bringing gifts back.

The couple did what they were supposed to do. As for what the other was thinking, they did not force it and did not want to know.

Hearing what Yan's mother said, Zhang Xiuli's mind flashed with the scene of Yu Sumin (Yan Nuo's mother) returning to the old house in a glamorous manner every time, and her heart ached.

She entered the Yan family first and was the first daughter-in-law to marry into the family. However, she suffered a lot because of infertility. Although Yan Haisong was filial to his parents, he was not a qualified husband to her in private.

He would beat her when he was drunk and call her a hen that didn't lay eggs. When he woke up the next day, he would pretend that he didn't know what happened last night and never felt guilty.

Yu Sumin got married a year later than her, and her health was much worse than hers. Not to mention getting pregnant, no doctor was even sure whether she could live to the age of 40.

But the uncle was very good to Sumin. The love that could be seen from his eyes without words made Zhang Xiuli jealous and crazy.

When Yan Sidi was three years old, she became pregnant again. When she saw her husband coming back with a gift box, she happily opened it, thinking it was a gift from her husband. However, as soon as she opened it, her husband pushed her away and snatched the gift box back like a treasure, regardless of her pregnancy. It turned out that the diamond necklace in the box was intended for an important female client.

She understood that men should focus on their careers, but she still couldn't help feeling sad about her husband's neglect of her. It happened that Yu Sumin was in the old house that day and saw her crying in the yard, so she comforted her.

Zhang Xiuli complained to her that Yan Haisong wouldn't even give her a necklace, then she stared at the jade pendant on her neck and said sourly, "Such a beautiful jade pendant must have been bought for you by your uncle."

Yu Sumin said that this was her own jade pendant, which she had worn since she was a child.

Zhang Xiuli got carried away and deliberately asked her to borrow the jade pendant in a pitiful and aggrieved manner.

"I've never worn such a beautiful jade pendant. Can you lend it to me for a few days? I'll return it to you next time you come back."

Yu Sumin was embarrassed by this inexplicable request and obviously did not want to hand over the jade pendant.

Then, Zhang Xiuli covered her eyes and cried, asking why she was treated so badly as the daughter-in-law of the Yan family.

She cried for a long time before Yu Sumin took off the jade pendant and placed it in her palm.

Zhang Xiuli continued, "Actually, I'm not coveting your jade pendant. I just think you're lucky. If I wear this jade pendant, maybe Haisong will change his ways and be nice to me."

What she said was really pitiful. She was pregnant and the gender of the baby was known in advance, it was a boy. Yu Sumin felt that she was quite pitiful and let her wear it.

A month later, Yu Sumin returned to the old house and asked Zhang Xiuli to return the jade pendant.

"Sister-in-law, I have never borrowed anything from you. Do you see what I am wearing around my neck?" Zhang Xiuli said with her big belly that she had never borrowed the jade pendant from her.
