The "grudge" between Song Yan and his second brother Song Mingyuan can actually be traced back to the previous generation.
When Song Yan's mother gave birth to her first child, it turned out to be a daughter, so she was a little disappointed. People of her generation all valued the continuation of the family line.
Song Yan's mother felt that since she had married into the Song family, she had the obligation to carry on the Song family line.
So the couple tried again and gave birth to their second child four years later.
But still a daughter.
This made the two extremely disappointed.
Therefore, Song Yan's birth did not bring much joy to her parents, but rather a burden and pressure.
Because, in order to have a son, Song Yan's mother had to have a third child.
At that time, the family's financial situation was not good. It was already difficult to raise two children, and having another one was actually too much of a stretch.
But the older generation still had the outdated idea that having a son was the only way to prepare for old age and to carry on the family line, so Song Yan's mother gave birth to her third child when she was 30 years old.
This time, it was finally a boy.
Song Mingyuan's birth was a great event for the Song family, and he received almost all the love from his parents.
At that time, the eldest sister Song Wen was already nine years old and could handle many things independently, while Song Yan was only five years old and still at the age where she needed adult care, but her parents handed her over to Song Wen and put all their energy into their third son Song Mingyuan.
This situation continued until the three children grew up.
Song Wen got married early, leaving only Song Yan and Song Mingyuan at home, but the younger brother has always been the more favored one since childhood.
Whenever the two of them made a mistake, Song Yan always got beaten.
Whenever there is something delicious, Song Mingyuan always eats it first.
As Song Yan grew up, she began to feel dissatisfied. She could not go against her parents, so she started fighting with her younger brother Song Mingyuan.
Even when they grew up and their parents passed away one after another, the "struggle" between the two siblings did not stop.
Before Song Yan's mother passed away, she once said to Song Yan who was lying in front of her bed:
"Yanzi, you will eventually get married. Bringing honor to the Song family depends on your brother. You must give in to your brother."
This sentence not only failed to reconcile the brother and sister, but made them fight even more fiercely.
Even though they all live in the same city and move around frequently, this habit of competing with each other anytime and anywhere has been deeply ingrained in the siblings.
Until today, Song Mingyuan thought that with his son marrying in such a grand manner, he could finally surpass his second sister.
Unexpectedly, the second sister turned around and brought out a daughter-in-law who was a queen who could defeat everything in an instant.
At this moment, he felt complicated, and suddenly remembered his mother's words that only he could bring honor to the Song family. This sentence now seemed so ironic.
Song Yan was also a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If Song Mingyuan was not convinced, she would continue to fight. However, seeing Song Mingyuan's dejected look of admitting defeat, she softened her heart and sighed:
"I've stopped blaming Mom. Xiaole didn't find a girlfriend to show off to anyone. The most important thing is that the children truly love each other and can live happily ever after."
Song Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Wei Qian, then looked at Song Jiang who was still in a daze, and sighed again:
"Whether Xiao Jiang can be happy or not depends on whether God blesses her."
He knew that although Wei Qian gave Song Jiang enough face in front of outsiders, at home, Song Jiang was like a slave and had to serve Wei Qian comfortably.
There's nothing we can do about it, since Song Jiang is the one who married into the family.
Looking at the way Lin Yao snuggled up to Fang Xiaole before, and her act as a big star who was willing to humble herself and cover her face to attend Fang Xiaole's cousin's wedding, it is enough to show that Lin Yao is extremely submissive in front of Fang Xiaole.
This made Song Mingyuan feel sour and envious.
Fang Xiaole consoled him, "Third Uncle, I can see that Xiao Jiang and his sister-in-law have a pretty good relationship. It's just that every couple has a different way of getting along. There's no such thing as who's better than the other, it's just who's the most suitable for each other."
"Xiao Le, you are much more mature than Xiao Jiang."
Song Mingyuan smiled bitterly and patted Fang Xiaole on the shoulder:
"You are very capable now. If our family needs your help in the future, please don't disown me as your uncle."
Fang Xiaole also laughed. "My skills are limited to the entertainment industry. If Xiao Jiang and Xiao Qian want to develop in the entertainment industry, Lin Yao's studio can sign them."
"You kid, you're kidding."
Song Mingyuan couldn't help laughing out loud, and Song Yan patted Fang Xiaole on the side and laughed too.
The sun was still bright on the third day of the Lunar New Year, shining through the window onto the brother and sister. As they laughed, years of grudges seemed to be gradually melting away.
"Sister-in-law, I'll go toast and talk to you later, please don't leave."
The two families stayed in the private room for a few minutes. Wei Qian and Song Jiang had to change their clothes to toast, so they had to stand up reluctantly and pleaded with Lin Yao before leaving.
"Honey, do we have any other plans today?"
Lin Yao is used to asking Fang Xiaole's opinion on everything.
"There's nothing else to do today, so you can stay with Xiaoqian later."
Fang Xiaole smiled.
"Xiaoyao, why do you have to ask him about everything? In our Shuchuan, men are all henpecked, and women are the masters of the house. You have to be more aggressive in the future to avoid being bullied by Fang Xiaole, okay?"
Fang Shengnan came up and pushed Fang Xiaole aside with her butt, then she hugged Lin Yao's slender waist with a smile and said to Wei Qian:
"Xiao Qian, you're a pretty good person, I like you. Wait, I'll take you two out to play."
"Okay, cousin, sister-in-law, you guys can eat here. I'll come to you after I've toasted you."
