"grandmother."
"Min'er, you're still young. When you grow up and understand the law, you'll realize that your uncle can't just show mercy and let your parents go. They... really didn't lie to you. Your parents did a lot of wrong things and broke the law."
"Even if your uncle hadn't intervened, they wouldn't have been able to escape legal punishment."
Lan Min cried, "Grandma, my parents know they are wrong. Can't you correct their mistakes?"
When they make mistakes, their parents criticize and educate them, and then forgive them after they have corrected their mistakes.
Why should parents be arrested when they make mistakes?
The old lady sighed, hugged her little granddaughter and shed tears silently.
She also didn't know why she had come to this situation.
All three sons were born after she carried them for ten months, and they had the same father and mother. When they were young, she and her husband were busy with work, and the three children got along very well, with brothers being friendly and respectful to each other. She thought that her three sons would not become enemies for a little benefit like other families.
Since when did her son become selfish?
Is she, as a mother, becoming more and more partial?
Or did it start after Qingqing disappeared?
The old lady felt heartbroken when she thought that Qingqing’s disappearance was indeed caused by her two younger sons.
It is said that when brothers and sisters turn against each other, it is often because of their parents' favoritism.
After a while, the old lady calmed down, wiped away the tears for her granddaughter, and warned her: "Min'er, don't say these things in front of other people in the future, especially when your uncle's family is present, you must not show off your ability to speak."
"Go back to the house later and be sensible. Stop whining at your sister-in-law. We are still living in your eldest cousin's house. It would be strange if he could tolerate you being disrespectful to his wife on his territory."
"You have to remember that the reason you and your second brother are alive and well is because your mother sacrificed her and your father's lives."
Lan Min didn't understand and asked with a sob, "Grandma, why do you say that?"
"...Don't ask yet. Grandma won't hurt you anyway. When you're older, she'll tell you."
Lan Min wiped her tears and nodded in agreement after her grandmother's repeated warnings, promising not to say anything unpleasant in front of her uncle's family.
Only after the redness in the grandmother and granddaughter's eyes had subsided did the old lady take her granddaughter back into the house.
Lan Zheng, who was standing on the balcony and watching the conversation between the grandmother and grandson, could not hear it, but he could see their expressions clearly.
His face was stern and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Is the old woman trying to use the little brat to cause trouble for them?
Lan Zheng felt that his grandmother might be getting old and her fighting ability was getting weaker and weaker, so she even took advantage of children.
Did he think that by doing this, his second and third uncles would be released?
It's just a dream.
Lan Zheng stood there for a moment before turning back to his room, going into the bathroom and taking another shower to sober up completely.
When he walked out of the room, he saw his parents. Lan Zheng stopped and waited for his parents to come closer. He then greeted them good morning.
"Where's Susu?"
Shen Yimo was asking about his daughter-in-law.
Lan Rui looked his son up and down, frowned, and asked him, "Were you drunk and unconscious last night?"
Lan Zheng said a little unnaturally: "I drank too much yesterday and got drunk."
"Susu is already up and preparing breakfast downstairs. She said that on the first day of her wedding, as a daughter-in-law, she wants to show off her cooking skills to satisfy her parents-in-law."
After the couple made up their bridal chamber, he was reluctant to let Susu get up, but Susu insisted on getting up, and he felt like he was abandoned by Susu.
"You've already bought a house, why don't you hire some servants? Look, you're asking your wife to make breakfast on your wedding day. Why don't you get up early and make breakfast? Lan Zheng, as men, we should be considerate and take good care of our women."
Chen Yimo also said to his son: "We don't have so many rules in our family now. There is no need for the new daughter-in-law to get up early to prepare breakfast for everyone. You can discuss it with your brother-in-law later and borrow two aunts from Fengchen Villa to help. We will double the salary for the aunts."
"Go to the housekeeping company and hire a few housekeepers. You and Susu will come over to stay often in the future, so there will always be a few people to do the housework. Lan Zheng, Susu is my only daughter-in-law, so you have to treat her well."
Lan Zheng was a bit amused and helpless when his parents said this. "Mom, I'm your only son. Why didn't you tell Susu to be nicer to me?"
"Isn't Susu good to you? She got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast for you."
Lan Zheng: “…”
Maybe he acted too much before marriage, so his parents reminded him.
He thought that if he and Susu had a conflict in the future, his parents and sister would probably stand on Susu's side.
"It's almost Chinese New Year now, and the housekeeping company is probably on holiday. Let's talk to Junbo first and borrow two aunties from their Fengchen Villa to help out. After the three days of returning home, we will go back to Wangcheng. It won't be too late to hire a nanny when you come to live here later."
"You make your own arrangements. Anyway, don't burden my daughter-in-law. I asked you to marry Susu to pamper her, not to enslave her."
"Mom, you're being harsh. How could I bear to enslave her? I love her so much, but she insisted on making breakfast for you. What can I do?" Seeing his parents glaring at him, Lan Zheng quickly changed his tone, "Dad, Mom, I'll go downstairs and help right now. No, I'll take care of all the housework and let Susu be the princess."
Having said that, Lan Zheng quickly slipped downstairs.
Just one night after the wedding, Young Master Lan's status in the family plummeted.
After his son left, Lan Rui muttered, "I wonder if my grandson has found a place to stay."
Shen Yimo tilted her head and rolled her eyes at him, "You're newly married, how can you have a grandson so soon?"
"I mean, I don't know if that brat has..."
"Why rush? He and Susu have a lifetime together. Lan Rui, don't put pressure on the young couple to have children. Let them enjoy their own world first and cultivate their relationship. There's no need to rush into having children. Have you made arrangements for our New Year's trip?"
Lan Rui quickly kissed her on the cheek and smiled dotingly, "How dare I not arrange what my wife has ordered? I have already arranged it. After the reunion dinner, we will set off."
"New Year's gifts for children must be prepared in advance."
"There's no need to prepare anything. Just give them each a big red envelope and let them buy whatever they like. Why should we bother with that? Our tastes are different from theirs. The gifts we carefully prepare might not be liked by the children."
Lan Rui was too lazy to prepare New Year gifts for his children and thought it was easiest to just give them money.
"Susu is our new daughter-in-law, just give her a few sets of jewelry."
Lan Rui still considered that his daughter-in-law had just married into the family, so he had to give her some New Year gifts.
