Chapter 169: Blind
Old Mrs. Sun has used this trick many times in the past to control her son, and it almost always works.
But today it suddenly didn't work. Sun Jiaxing suddenly felt that his mother was so strange. She was no longer the well-educated and well-mannered girl in his memory.
Sun Jiaxing said, "Mom, don't be in a hurry to pretend to be sick. You hate Niu Niu not because she has done anything wrong, but because she is someone else's child, not the child of my second and third brothers, right?"
Old Lady Sun was still stubborn: "I just don't like unruly children. You, my goddaughter, are not cute at all."
Sun Jiaxing looked at her with shocked eyes and said, "It's fine if you say you don't like her, but why are you lying with your eyes open? She is so cute, just like Xuetuan, and many times cuter than my third brother's two nieces."
Old Mrs. Sun felt a pang in her heart when her son looked at her with a look that asked, "Are you blind?"
To be honest, if there was no conflict of interest, Niu Niu was not her son's goddaughter, but just the daughter of a friend who was visiting. The old lady would also be very happy to see such a beautiful and lovely girl.
But this child has already gained a lot of benefits by virtue of her status as a goddaughter. Not counting the gold jewelry and various gifts given to her, the fact that she got a house in Guanglin Mansion was enough to make Old Lady Sun uncomfortable.
"I think my two granddaughters are the cutest. Big brother, stop being so mean." Old Mrs. Sun still refused to change her words, and even said, "Don't let this child stay here with me. I get annoyed when I see her."
Li's first reaction was to cover Niu Niu's ears, fearing that the little girl would feel embarrassed when hearing such words of expulsion.
After Niuniu's ears were suddenly covered, she looked up at Li with her big, watery eyes, and said crisply, "I heard it, but I don't think it's a big deal. The old lady doesn't want me to stay here, and I don't want to stay with her any longer."
She turned around and said to Old Lady Sun, "I'm not a wild girl. I have many, many family members. My father is not a poor scholar. He is a juren. He is rich!"
"Although you don't like me and I don't like you very much, I like Uncle Sun. You are Uncle Sun's mother and Uncle Sun is very filial to you, so I still wish you a long life."
After Niu Niu said this, she pulled Li's hand. Li didn't dare to look at her mother-in-law's expression and immediately took the person out.
After leaving the old lady's yard, Li breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Godmother, is the old lady not treating you well?" Niu Niu suddenly asked.
Li was stunned when she heard this, and she sent the servants away from her and said, "You are still young and don't understand the affairs between adults."
Niuniu sighed like a little adult and said, "You adults always like to say this kind of things, but children also have brains. I have eyes and can see it."
Li asked, "Guaibao is so amazing, what did you see?"
Niuniu sighed like a little adult and said, "The old lady doesn't even like Uncle Sun that much, so how can she be nice to you?"
Mrs. Li was stunned when she heard this. Her husband was indeed not his mother-in-law's favorite son. Everyone in the family could see it except her husband.
Now even Niu Niu, who had just arrived in this family, could see it.
"Your eyes are so sharp?" Li asked softly.
Niuniu proudly puffed out her belly and said, "Of course, godmother, I've said before that children actually know a lot. The old lady's eyes when she looked at Grandpa Sun were not kind at all. It didn't seem like she was looking at her own son, but rather like she was looking at..."
Niuniu tilted her head and tried to think of how to describe it. Her brows were knitted together before she finally found the words: "It's like looking at a handy tool."
Li thought that this description was very exquisite. The old lady looked at her eldest son because she thought he was useful and could take care of her other two useless sons.
"Your father was raised by his grandmother since he was young. When he was older, he was sent to the outer courtyard. He was strictly brought up by your deceased grandfather. He had little contact with the old lady, and it was inevitable that there was estrangement between mother and son." Li explained.
Niu Niu shook her head and said, "My grandmother from the Gu family would also feel that she is not close to my father, but she loves and favors my father the most! My father is the pride of my grandparents!"
"My grandmother's least favorite son is actually my uncle. She hates seeing my uncle drinking, and she doesn't like his friends who love drinking. But every time his friends come to the house, my grandmother never embarrasses him."
"Because she felt that she couldn't let her son lose face in front of his friends."
“Although Grandma Sun was saying bad things about me, she was actually embarrassing Uncle Sun.”
"How much she must dislike Uncle Sun!"
When a child faces someone he trusts, he speaks out everything, just like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
When Li heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears.
The husband is a man and he passed the imperial examination at an early age. Even if the old lady is partial to him, she still relies on this most promising son and will not embarrass him.
She was a daughter-in-law who stayed in the inner house every day. She had not had children for many years and had no idea how much trouble she had endured from her mother-in-law.
She always thought it was her fault that she couldn't have children, but now it seems that it was actually because of her husband!
Niuniu vaguely sensed Li's emotions, and slowly leaned into her arms, comforting her: "Godmother, are you feeling unwell?"
Li's tears slowly fell and hit the back of Niu Niu's hand.
Niu Niu quickly took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Godmother is the best." Niu Niu comforted in a baby voice.
Sun Jiaxing in the room had an unpleasant expression on his face. He said to his unreasonable mother, "Niuniu is so nice. Even after all this trouble, she still wishes you a long life."
Old Madam Sun curled her lips and said, "Who knows whether what she said is true or false."
"She's only six years old, how could she lie?"
Old Madam Sun was still trying to confront her son: "I just don't like this child. I feel annoyed when I see her. Maybe it's because she and I are in conflict. She is unlucky for me! Don't acknowledge this goddaughter anymore. Take back the house you gave her!"
Sun Jiaxing suddenly realized that this was the crux of the matter, and asked in a cold voice: "Who will it be given to after it comes back?"
Old Lady Sun said, "Who else can I give it to? When your father divided the family, he treated your second and third brothers unfairly. They have many children, so you should give them more money."
Sun Jiaxing looked at him steadily and asked, "Do you want me to give each of my nephews and nieces a house?"
Old Mrs. Sun's eyes lit up, but the importance of her grandson and granddaughter in her heart was different.
"Why give it to girls? They will get married in the future. If you have a house, give it to your nephews. They will need money for everything when they marry and have children."
Listening to what Old Lady Sun said, Sun Jiaxing asked, "Mom, can I give them all the houses and land under my name?"
