"Apologize to Yanbao!"
The words of the old man of the Li family are never to be questioned.
Upon hearing this, Liang Xunling's face turned extremely pale. She pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.
I never expected that the old man would treat her, the eldest daughter-in-law who had given birth to three grandsons for the Li family, like this, just because of a little girl who had just been adopted.
Just then, the Li family members arrived one after another, ready to have breakfast.
Apologizing to a little girl in front of so many people...
Liang Xunling was unwilling to do something so shameful!
"I did nothing wrong, and I refuse to apologize!"
Liang Xunling was embarrassed, but she didn't want to lose face in words.
She inexplicably spoke to the old man of the Li family with a sense of righteousness: "If you only want to favor the third son's family, I have nothing to say. Anyway, no matter what I do, I can't compare to your obedient and well-behaved third daughter-in-law."
Liang Xunling gritted her teeth: "When I wanted to raise a daughter, I pleaded with you until my lips were sore, and all you said to me was two words: no way!"
The mere mention of this matter filled Liang Xunling with resentment, her tone clearly tinged with bitterness.
She glanced sideways at Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi, and continued:
"And now, the third brother and his wife have taken in this country girl without consulting you first, and you've happily accepted it. I'm starting to seriously doubt whether you look down on me?"
“Xunling, how can you say that? Your father has always been fair and has never shown favoritism to anyone. There was a reason why he didn’t let you adopt your sister’s daughter.”
As for the reason, the old man forbade him to say, and the old lady of the Li family could only remain silent.
"Even if both sides are flesh and blood, the third brother's family is definitely flesh and blood, while we are all flesh and blood."
Liang Xunling responded to the old lady of the Li family with one sentence, and then said to the old man of the Li family:
"If you're willing to protect this girl, then go ahead! I can't afford to offend her, so I'll just stay away. I don't need to eat breakfast; I'm already full of anger anyway. You guys eat slowly; I'm going to take the children to school."
After saying that, Liang Xunling winked at her three sons, signaling them to leave with her and thoroughly embarrass Xiao Xinyan.
It was her arrival that caused the current family discord.
However, apart from the second brother Li Muchen, who also had opinions about Xiao Xinyan, the eldest brother Li Muxing and the third brother Li Muhao did not make any moves.
The two brothers couldn't understand why their mother had such a strong opinion about the new sister.
A cute little pink dumpling!
Li Muxing and Li Muhao both felt that Liang Xunling was being unreasonable, daring to argue with her grandfather over such a trivial matter!
Seeing that neither his eldest brother nor his third brother made a move, Li Muchen couldn't help but yell at them, "What are you two still standing there for? Come on!"
"You haven't had breakfast yet, why are you leaving?"
Li Muxing asked in return, glanced at her watch, and said, "Besides, it's still early. Going to school would just mean sitting alone in the classroom, which would be incredibly boring."
Li Muhao echoed his older brother's words, "If you're not leaving, I'm not leaving either. I'm still hungry!"
As he spoke, he even touched his already empty stomach.
He had assumed that all three sons would be on his side, but unexpectedly, two traitors appeared.
Liang Xunling immediately glared at Li Muxing and Li Muhao with annoyance, "Eat, eat, eat! All you two know how to do is eat!"
"Food is essential for life! You'll get hungry if you skip a meal! Mom, why don't you calm down and sit down and eat something?"
Li Muxing raised an eyebrow with a playful smile, clearly trying to ease the tension.
We're all one family, inside and out, why make things so tense?
“That’s right, whatever you can’t stand, never go against delicious food!” Li Muhao said, echoing his older brother Li Muxing’s words, and even took the initiative to go over and pull Liang Xunling.
But the next second, Liang Xunling directly slapped his hand away. Because of the force, the back of Li Muhao's hand turned red instantly, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Seeing that her younger brother was in pain, Li Muxing quickly went over to check Li Muhao's hand and frowned with heartache.
He shielded Li Muhao behind him and said to Liang Xunling somewhat angrily, "Mom, why are you so irritable today? Third brother just wanted you to stay for breakfast."
Liang Xunling not only didn't feel apologetic, but became even angrier and said, "You two are useless. You don't even know to stand on the same side as me at this critical moment. You actually want to hold me back!"
"Mom, those two are just gluttons. Let's ignore them and go!"
Li Muchen gave a suggestion and made a face at Li Muxing and Li Muhao.
"Walk!"
Since she had said she was leaving, Liang Xunling would not stay any longer. She grabbed Li Muchen's hand and walked outside.
Startled by this discordant turn of events, Xiao Xinyan curled up in Zhong Jingyi's arms, looking just like a frightened kitten.
"Mom, did Yan Yan offend Auntie?"
Xiao Xinyan, whose sweet, childlike voice was tinged with obvious fear, was exceptionally sensitive because she was often bullied by the villagers.
She knew that her aunt didn't like her, and neither did her second brother, Li Muchen.
Zhong Jingyi hugged her tightly with heartache and gently comforted her: "Yanbao is not annoying. Only people who deliberately cause trouble are annoying. Our Yanbao is cute and beautiful, and is Mom's precious treasure."
"But……"
Xiao Xinyan frowned, but before she could voice her concerns, Li Qicheng gently pressed a large hand on her head.
