Just as Chen's mother was about to argue, Chen Luo stopped her, saying, "Wait until the third son comes back."
Mother Chen responded and, together with Rong Manli, led Chen Zhixiu and Xiao Tuantuan into the room.
Li Dandan tried to lead Chen Xue away, but Chen Luo stopped her: "Just stand here."
“Dad, I can stand, but Xue’er is still young and needs to rest…” Li Dandan looked at Chen Luo with flattery, “You know that Xue’er can’t live without me.”
Li Dandan knew she had made a mistake and couldn't avoid it, but she didn't intend to. At worst, she would just apologize, and the Chen family couldn't do anything to her.
After all, she had given birth to a child for the Chen family.
Besides, she's made mistakes before, and the worst punishment she ever got was not being allowed to eat.
"Stand still!" Chen Luo shouted in a deep voice, his serious face revealing no emotion.
Li Dandan was startled and gave Chen Xue a look.
Chen Xue hesitated and dared not move. She had always been afraid of her grandfather, let alone now that he was angry. She was not going to move forward!
Inside the room, Chen Zhixiu sat on a stool, holding Xiao Tuantuan tightly, as if Xiao Tuantuan would disappear if she let go.
“Mother, Second Sister-in-law, I will take Tuantuan to town to make a living tomorrow. I know what you mean, but Third Sister-in-law is right. After all, I am married, and I have to consider her feelings.”
"Don't let her blame you because of me."
Chen Zhixiu forced a smile: "Don't blame Third Sister-in-law for this."
“Sleeve.” Rong Manli patted Chen Zhixiu’s shoulder and said, word by word, “Li Dandan’s matter must be severely punished. You don’t need to say anything more. Harming one’s own people is unforgivable.”
Xiao Tuantuan nestled in Chen Zhixiu's arms, looked at Rong Manli and Chen's mother, lowered her eyes, and slowly said, "Mother, Tuantuan doesn't want to forgive Third Aunt."
Chen Zhixiu was taken aback.
"Mother, Third Aunt wants to make sure Tuantuan never sees you again. Third Aunt is a bad person."
Hearing Xiao Tuantuan's childish words, Rong Manli's eyes lit up: "That's right, the victim in this matter is Tuantuan. If Tuantuan doesn't forgive, we will pursue this to the end."
Chen Zhixiu looked at Xiao Tuantuan with disbelief: "Tuantuan, didn't your mother teach you to repay evil with kindness? To be broad-minded? How come you..."
"Mother." Xiao Tuantuan interrupted Chen Zhixiu, raised her head, and looked extremely serious. "Mother, my third aunt wants to harm me. If I really disappear, will you still repay evil with kindness?"
"Mother, Tuantuan doesn't want to force herself."
“Tuantuan is right.” Chen’s mother pulled Xiao Tuantuan to her side, looked into Chen Zhixiu’s eyes, and said helplessly, “Xiu’er, your father and I have taught you not to repay evil with kindness, but to not offend others unless they offend me, and to repay them tenfold if they do offend me.”
Chen Zhixiu opened her mouth, a look of hesitation on her face: "But after all, we are family."
"Will Mother abandon Xue'er?" Xiao Tuantuan quickly asked back.
Chen Zhixiu was stunned.
"My third aunt doesn't treat Tuantuan and her mother as family, so why should Tuantuan treat her as family?"
Xiao Tuantuan continued to ask questions.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhixiu fell silent.
Rong Manli curled her lips into a smile: "Tuantuan is right."
Chen Zhixiu was somewhat troubled, her hands tightly gripping her sleeves. She understood that Tuantuan was right to think this way, but if they really broke off relations, how would they get along in the future...?
For a moment, Chen Zhixiu was in a very difficult position.
"My husband! My husband, you're finally back! You have to stand up for me!"
Outside, Li Dandan's voice could be heard calling out.
Chen's mother and Rong Manli quickly walked out.
Xiao Tuantuan also pulled Chen Zhixiu along, she couldn't let Li Dandan distort the truth!
"Smack!"
As soon as Xiao Tuantuan came out, she saw Chen Xiaoran slap Li Dandan across the face.
Even Xiao Tuantuan was startled and looked at Chen Zhixiu helplessly.
Chen Zhixiu held Xiao Tuantuan's hand tightly and whispered, "Third Brother."
"Xiu'er, Tuantuan." Chen Wenxiu's dark face softened a bit because of Chen Zhixiu's call. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiao Tuantuan standing thin and small next to Chen Zhixiu.
God knows how anxious he was when he found out that Li Dandan had abandoned her child!
Her younger sister has always been loyal and devoted to her family, let alone her own daughter!
If Tuantuan really disappears, then Xiuer probably won't survive either!
"Ah!" Li Dandan screamed, punching and kicking Chen Wenxiu. "You are my husband, why are you hitting me?"
Chen Wenxiu stretched out a hand to stop Li Dandan from getting too close, his handsome face full of disgust: "Li Dandan, haven't you made enough of a scene?"
A simple sentence only fueled Li Dandan's anger.
Her husband had endless topics to talk about with everyone except her.
Especially after Chen Zhixiu returned, she realized that her husband was not a cold-hearted person; he could care and was also considerate.
The more Li Dandan thought about it, the angrier she became: "What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? Why did you hit me as soon as you came back!"
"You dared to try and harm Tuantuan, and you still don't know you're wrong?" Chen Wenxiu took a step back and looked coldly at Li Dandan. "I'd like to hear how you try to justify yourself!"
Nan Nian also walked in from outside, handed the scroll in her hand to Chen's mother, and looked extremely unwell.
"Father, Mother, please don't fight..." Chen Xue looked at Chen Wenxiu nervously, "Father."
Chen Wenxiu glanced at Chen Xue, then reached out and ruffled her hair: "Sister-in-law, please take Xue'er to her room."
Nan Nian responded and was about to walk over when Chen Xue cried out, "I don't want to go with Aunt! Dad, please stay with Xue'er! Dad!"
"Okay," Chen Wenxiu agreed. "Then tell your father, why did you abandon Tuantuan?"
Chen Xue panicked instantly. After all, she was only an eight-year-old child and didn't know how to hide her emotions.
"Tell your father, do you know you were wrong?" Chen Wenxiu asked again.
Chen Xue pouted and said softly, "I know I was wrong, Dad. Please don't blame Mom, okay? Tuantuan is back now, so why are you still blaming Mom?"
After saying that, Chen Xue looked at Xiao Tuantuan and said, "Can't you forgive my mother? Even if my mother wanted to abandon you, aren't you doing well now?"
A hint of anger flashed in Chen Wenxiu's eyes: "Chen Xue!"
"Xue'er is right, Tuantuan is back now, isn't she? I promise I won't do it again, okay?"
"Besides, Tuantuan has already forgiven me, her third aunt, so please don't make a mountain out of a molehill," Li Dandan said matter-of-factly.
Xiao Tuantuan tilted her head and said softly, "I haven't forgiven you."
Li Dan frowned: "You child, do you have to make such a mess of things at home?"
Xiao Tuantuan walked over: "Third Aunt, please lower your head."
Although Li Dandan did not understand, she still did as she was told. The next second, Xiao Tuantuan slapped her across the face.
The clear voice was exceptionally loud: "Third Aunt, I only slapped you once, and you're still perfectly fine. You won't blame Tuantuan, will you?"
