He couldn't concentrate on his studies, which caused Tian Mu's grades to fluctuate. If Chen Guihua urged him less and Tian Zhuo was watching him, Tian Mu would pay more attention to his studies and his grades would be better.
Things have been better this semester. The junior high school entrance exam will be held next semester. Tian Mu is trying his best to get into technical secondary school. He knows that the competition in technical secondary schools is very fierce. He is also willing to work hard in his studies. He has done well in the last few exams. At the end of last semester, he even ranked first in the grade. This made Chen Guihua very happy. She showed off to everyone that her Tian Mu got first place. Now, everyone in the team knows about this.
Not only that, during the Chinese New Year, he even gave Tian Mu five yuan as a New Year's gift.
This made Tian Mu very happy, and he said a lot of big words, such as he would get the first place in the exam in the future, etc.
Now, after hearing what they said, Old Mrs. Tian thought that this mother-in-law was quite interesting.
After hearing what Old Lady Tian said, Grandma Lin's face froze. She thought of her other daughters' children. It's not that those children were bad, but those children were really not outstanding and were rather mediocre.
When Lin Meixia heard what Grandma Lin said, she became anxious. She had already talked to her mother about it when she came again tomorrow, so why did her mother change her mind?
Just when Lin Meixia wanted to answer, there was a noise in the yard, "Mom! I'm back!"
Lin Meixia was immediately overjoyed and was the first to stand up and greet them, "Sister! You're back. We've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Xiaoxia?" Lin Meiyu was also very happy to see Lin Meixia, and quickly put down the basket on her back, "Why are you here? Have you finished your housework?"
"No!" The two sisters walked into the house hand in hand. "Didn't our mother say she wanted to come and apologize to you, so she asked me to come and accompany her."
The smile on Lin Meiyu's face suddenly faded.
Lin Meixia continued, "If you ask me, our mother has indeed gone too far these years, but no matter what she said, isn't she still our mother? She worked so hard to raise us sisters, and we can't just say that we have grown up and get angry with our mother and then disown her. These days, our mother and the family are really angry. She keeps talking about how our family was poor when we were young and we couldn't eat anything good. She also said that she and our father were incompetent and made us suffer when we were young, doing so much work and enduring so much hardship."
Lin Meiyu knew her mother too well. These words were definitely not something her mother would say. Her mother had always been strong in her life and would never show any weakness in front of other people, nor would she admit her weakness to others, even her daughters were no exception.
Grandma Lin was just too strong-willed, which was why she transferred her anger to them because she didn't give birth to a boy. To be exact, it was only to Lin Meiyu.
Lin Meishuang and Lin Meixia, the eldest and the youngest, are both Grandma Lin's favorites. Only Li Meiyu is not loved by her father and mother, and has suffered the most since childhood.
And someone with a personality like Grandma Lin would never think that she had treated Lin Meiyu unfairly. Now that she knew she was wrong, she would never admit it, let alone say out loud what Lin Meixia had just said.
"Come in later. Sister, don't talk back to our mom. Just be gentle with her. Don't you think there can be any overnight hatred between mother and daughter?" Lin Meixia held Lin Meiyu at the door and advised.
After hearing this, Lin Meiyu said nothing and pulled Lin Meixia in.
"Mom!" Lin Meiyu smiled when she walked into the room and saw Grandma Lin and Old Lady Tian.
Grandma Lin snorted coldly, "Who are you calling mom? I can't bear the responsibility of being your mother now. How can I be worthy of her? I raised three daughters, and they are all other people's."
Lin Meiyu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and a little angry.
If the old woman was unreasonable, wouldn't what Grandma Lin said be just putting her in a difficult position?
Old Mrs. Tian glanced at Grandma Lin, then at Lin Meiyu, then stood up and said with a smile, "Since you're back, I won't stay here anymore. You two can have a good chat while I go pick the wild vegetables you brought back."
After Old Mrs. Tian left, Grandma Lin and Lin Meixia sat on the left and right sides of Lin Meiyu.
"Mom! What's the matter with you guys coming here today?" Lin Meiyu asked straight to the point.
If she was willing to say sorry to Grandma Lin before entering the door, she immediately became unwilling to do so after hearing what Grandma Lin said.
Lin Meixia winked at Grandma Lin frantically, and Grandma Lin reluctantly said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking that what I said during the New Year was indeed inappropriate. After all, I have watched Tian Yuan's child grow up. I am also worried that he will marry a wife who is too strong, and Tian Yuan will suffer. You also know that your mother is not good at speaking, so what she said that day was unpleasant. When the New Year comes in the future, you should still take the children back and let the children get along well with her and the two aunts and sisters, so that in the end they don't recognize each other and treat these sisters like strangers."
Lin Meiyu understood what they meant. They just wanted to continue to maintain a good relationship with them so that she could ask for help from them if she had any problems in the future. If she was not familiar with them, she would not be able to ask for it.
"They should get along normally with their brothers and sisters. After all, they are all relatives, and I really love these nephews. When they have time, they can also make appointments to go out and play together. But I think they don't need to go back for the New Year. First, our place is small and we can't accommodate so many people during the New Year. Besides, the children are growing up, and it's not good for them to squeeze on the same kang. They won't live in peace. It's better to have fewer people go, so that our parents can have more space."
"When they are on vacation at home, I will ask them to come and see you more often. Relatives should really get along well with each other, and the relationship can't be too distant." Lin Meiyu said.
She was just a little dissatisfied with her mother, but she did not involve her two sisters' children. All their children were good children, and Lin Meiyu was willing to let her own children spend more time with them.
Lin Meixia was very happy to hear this. The main reason she came here this time was because she was worried that the two families would really draw a clear line between themselves and her two sons would not be able to get involved with the Tian family, and these children would be left with nothing.
As for whether the relationship between Lin Meiyu and Grandma Lin has eased, Lin Meixia doesn't really care.
Lin Meiyu understands Grandma Lin, and Lin Meixia also understands her mother.
