Today, Sun Yanxia, who is usually nowhere to be found at home, suddenly brought Chang Jizong back. She said that Chang Jizong had accidentally scraped his face while playing with his classmates at school, and that his mother would need to pay more attention to him in the next few days.
Granny Chang didn't agree immediately, but stammered that she would help if she could.
This stirred up a hornet's nest, and Sun Yanxia was making a scene, demanding an explanation!
"Mom, everyone knows you're biased. As your daughter-in-law, I can't say anything too harsh. I just asked you to help take care of Jizong for a few days, and you're unwilling. It's like I'm holding a knife to your head. Jizong is your own grandson!"
Sun Yanxia was aggressive.
"Yanxia, Mom didn't..."
Granny Chang was gentle by nature, and when faced with the domineering Sun Yanxia, she was too tongue-tied to utter a single word in her defense.
She was indeed wrong.
I've been running back and forth between my eldest daughter's home and my own home lately, keeping me incredibly busy.
Sun Yanxia asked her to spare some energy to take care of Chang Jizong, but she really couldn't guarantee it and could only do her best.
"Mom!" Seeing that she had the upper hand, Sun Yanxia kept making a fuss: "If I had no other choice, I wouldn't let you take care of me. I cherish Jizong so much, I can't bear to let him out of my sight for even a moment..."
"Yanxia, calm down. If you get sick from anger, no one will take care of you. These heartless people are so wicked; they'd love for you to get sick from anger!"
Ning Huilan pulled her emotional best friend back and gave the biased mother-in-law a few disdainful looks.
Ning Huilan came to talk to Zhou Hongyu about a job transfer, and just then she ran into Sun Yanxia protesting against her mother-in-law's unfair treatment. She immediately forgot about her business and got involved.
Granny Chang couldn't open her mouth, just like a quail.
At this moment, Zhou Hongyu returned from outside: "If you can't help, then don't. Sun Yanxia, don't you always say that Jizong should be close to his maternal grandparents' family? Well then, why don't you ask your maternal family to help you for a few days? It won't make any difference!"
Sun Yanxia shut up.
She usually manipulated the elderly couple through Chang Jizong. Since moving out, she has become even worse. When the elderly couple missed their grandson during holidays, Sun Yanxia would use the excuse of taking Chang Jizong back to her parents' home to get closer to her maternal grandparents. When she was in a bad mood, she would leave the elderly couple alone to vent her anger.
Sun Yanxia desperately tried to gather her strength, while Ning Huilan offered words of comfort and gave Zhou Hongyu several cold looks.
However, Zhou Hongyu didn't bother to look at her; anyone who hung out with Sun Yanxia was no good!
Granny Chang was scolded by Sun Yanxia and became meek and submissive, which Zhou Hongyu couldn't stand.
I wanted to persuade Granny Chang to go back to her room to calm down, but I was also worried that she would go back and hide and cry.
Zhou Hongyu handed a large bag she was carrying to Granny Chang: "Mom, this is some groceries I brought back from outside. Please keep it safe."
Granny Chang wiped away her tears like a wronged young wife and went into the kitchen.
Zhou Hongyu was speechless with her mother-in-law; she was both pitiful and infuriating. Chang Meihua would coax her a few words and she would happily run off to help again. And to make matters worse, she had to deal with several daughters-in-law with such bad tempers…
Zhou Hongyu turned her head to look at her.
Ning Huilan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and was inexplicably terrified.
Ning Huilan made an excuse and slipped away: "Yanxia, I have something to do at home, I have to go first..."
As for serious matters, she had long since forgotten about them.
Sun Yanxia was stunned. Watching her best friend flee in panic, she stood alone in the courtyard, bewildered in the wind.
Granny Chang was ordered to attend to her business, and Zhou Hongyu ignored her again.
Sun Yanxia's pent-up anger flared up again. Feeling unhappy, she stood in the yard cursing and swearing, making veiled accusations.
Zhou Hongyu spoke up for Granny Chang, and since Zhou Hongyu's youngest daughter was the most favored by the old couple, she felt that Granny Chang was extremely biased.
He neglects his precious grandson and instead dotes on his second wife's money-losing child!
Seeing this, Zhou Hongyu shook her head.
Sun Yanxia's madness didn't just happen overnight; she's always been prone to outbursts. I used to be close to her, and whenever I was in a bad mood, I'd get Zhou Hongyu to stand up for her, and she'd end up hiding behind the scenes and getting a good reputation.
Their relationship is not what it used to be. Her irritable and easily angered nature can explode at the slightest provocation. If she can't vent her anger, it's easy for her to lose her public persona.
Zhou Hongyu was too lazy to waste her time on this madman.
At this moment, Chang Jizong and Chang Meiying, who were playing outside, ran into the house.
Chang Meiying held a toy airplane she had never seen before, making whooshing noises as she flew it around.
"Sister Meiying, let me play with it too!" Chang Jizong shouted as he chased after her.
This toy airplane was his prized possession, and he would never share it with the children at his grandmother's house. However, if the person was his younger sister, Mei Ying, who would accompany him to the toilet to fry rice, the situation would be different.
His, and also Mei Ying's sister's!
Sun Yanxia looked at her precious son chasing after Zhou Hongyu's youngest daughter, and suddenly a string in her heart couldn't be tightened.
Dark thoughts began to rise within me...
Chang Meiying ran past her with the toy airplane in her hand, but she stumbled and fell, and the toy airplane crashed to the ground.
Chang Jizong cried out urgently, "My little airplane!"
“This little plane is so expensive, can’t you, Mei Ying, take better care of it!” Sun Yanxia strode over, as if she had made up her mind.
Zhou Hongyu immediately became alert and called out from a short distance away, "Mei Ying!"
Chang Meiying turned her head upon hearing the sound: "Huh?"
Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly rang out.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Sun Yanxia stepped on the child's hand.
Chang Jizong ignored the little airplane and shoved his mother away, saying, "Mom, you stepped on Meiying!"
Chang Jizong supported Chang Meiying's shoulder, and Chang Meiying cried out, clutching her little hand that had been stepped on.
I'm afraid I won't be able to step on it!
Sun Yanxia, feeling smug, began to devise a way to shirk responsibility.
