"Wait a minute, we'll go with you. We can go and ask what's going on. Isn't Zhang Tingting quite capable?"
"Okay, Mom," she said, feeling confident with her family by her side.
Tingting was delivering food that day when her children came along to see how their grandmother was doing.
“Sister-in-law, you and my brother are here too. We’ve come to see Mother and bring her some soup.”
"Oh, they're all here. Tingting is such a filial daughter."
These words struck a chord with Old Mrs. Guo. The third son's family was indeed quite good; they raised their children well, their lives were prosperous, and they were filial.
"Come on, sit down and let's chat for a while. It's snowing so heavily outside, and all the kids have come along."
Guo's sister-in-law used to dislike Cheng Cai and You Cai, but now that she sees that they've been admitted to Xia University, she's become enthusiastic, though she still says some rather unpleasant things.
“Look at Tingting, how well she has raised her children. They are all so promising. Back then, Chengcai and Youcai couldn’t even afford to eat. Look at them now, they are all so educated. It’s really different.”
Guo's sister-in-law's words were so hurtful that Old Mrs. Guo didn't want to say anything either. She was really fed up and just rolled her eyes at her.
Cheng Cai and You Cai remained expressionless upon hearing this.
But Cheng Cai remembered it; those words were too hurtful.
Tingting was still quite angry, holding back her rage. She wondered why Sister-in-law Guo kept saying such things—was she just bored?
“Now my sons Chengcai and Youcai are doing so well. Look how things are going. They got into Xiamen University and are even engaged. Life is getting better and better.”
“From now on, Jianjun and I are counting on Chengcai and Youcai. If they can both act like older brothers, I won’t have to worry about anything.”
“My son Zhuzi and his friends are so good. It’s all thanks to them. They are both good kids. I’m so lucky.”
"There are quite a few. As their grandmother, I also think that Chengcai is the most promising person in our family."
Seeing how much they all defended Cheng Cai and You Cai, Sister-in-law Guo rolled her eyes but didn't say anything.
If the Guo family becomes successful, Guo's sister-in-law can't say anything, because she always feels that Chengcai and Youcai are outsiders.
Guo's sister-in-law felt quite uncomfortable about not caring about her own nephew but instead taking care of an outsider.
"Yes, yes, you're right. It was my way of expressing it that was wrong. Cheng Cai and You Cai, please don't be upset."
"How could that be, Auntie? Don't worry," Cheng Cai said expressionlessly.
The scene fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke for a long time.
Sister-in-law Guo rolled her eyes and didn't want to talk to her anymore.
"Old Mrs. Guo, are you home? Why are you watching Da Bao? Ah, open the door."
"Who's out there? Tingting, go check if it's the second son's wife who's back. How dare she?"
The person Guo's sister-in-law dislikes the most now is the second son's family. They're all family, so it's fine if they bicker and argue.
Only she could be so immoral. Her mother got sick from being angered by her and ran away in fear.
This is unreasonable no matter where you look at it. Let's see how she insults her today, hmph.
Just as Tingting was about to open the door, she sensed that there was more than one person outside.
"Second sister-in-law, is that you? Why are you back? Didn't you say you weren't coming back when your second brother came to pick you up?"
"Zhang Tingting, I've come to see my son Dabao. Where's Dabao? Speak up! Open the door for me."
Zhang Tingting looked at Old Lady Guo inside the house, thinking that she shouldn't upset the old lady so much that she would get sick. Let her shout if she wants; she just won't open the door anyway.
"It's so cold, I might as well stay here if I want," I said, turning around and going back inside.
"Mom, don't worry about her. She brought her mother here to cause trouble. Let them stay outside."
"Tingting, you're really resourceful. Let's leave them outside for half a day, and see if they still complain."
"That's right, she doesn't realize she's wrong at all, and she's quite self-righteous. I'll see how smug she is this time."
"Okay, sister-in-law, we just finished eating and we're not hungry. Let's wait and see who outlasts whom."
The Guo family outside were so angry they nearly fainted, and the noise even drew the attention of the Guo family's neighbors.
After all, people usually stay indoors during winter and don't have much to do, so they come out to see what's going on.
But with the strong winds blowing outside in winter, everyone, from the neighbors who were just watching the commotion to Guo Ersao's family, was freezing.
"Mom, it's too cold today. Let's come back tomorrow. It's too cold here."
"Where's your house? Don't you have a key? Let's stay at your house for the day."
"Okay, Mom, I'll check if Da Bao is home too. I don't know if what they're saying is true."
"Da Bao doesn't know how serious his illness is. Although Guo Ersao is unreasonable, she really loves Da Bao the most."
"Originally, I thought that if Da Bao missed her mother, her father could come and pick her up, and then she would be in charge."
"She had no mind to think about the child being sick. Now, Guo Ersao is truly regretting it and is worried about Guo Dabao's condition."
