Li Hongli screamed and ran away crying.

Chen Xiaoying was furious. If it wasn't for Li Sihan, who had only been with her for a few months, she would not have tolerated Li Hongli staying by her side.

Li Hongli ran away without looking back, without even looking at her daughter sitting on the sofa.

Li Sihan, who was only a few months old, was still sitting on the sofa, holding a toy in his chubby little hands and looking at Chen Xiaoying with his ignorant big eyes.

Chen Xiaoying sighed: "Grow up quickly, your mother is so unreasonable."

Li Hongli ran away crying, but she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she wiped her tears after running out of the door. Thinking that the other party was still waiting at the entrance of the cinema, she went straight there.

"Even if you don't let me go, I will go."

Li Hongli is gone.

Chen Xiaoying had no choice but to hold her granddaughter in her arms.

Zhao Xueyan looked inside from outside and was speechless. Her mother-in-law was so miserable to have such a troublesome daughter.

Just as she was thinking about it, after a while, the gate of the courtyard opened. She thought it was Li Hongli coming back again, and her face changed as soon as she opened the door.

The person standing at the door was Li Hongqiang.

Not only her, there was also a group of people standing next to him, they were his sister-in-law Li Hongyan and her family of five.

"Why are you blocking the door? Let us in." Li Hongqiang said impatiently to his wife Zhao Xueyan.

He has always had this indifferent attitude towards Zhao Xueyan, like a scabby dog.

Zhao Xueyan thought of the beating she received the day before and she wanted to scratch Li Hongqiang's face, but she didn't dare to do so. She could only step back, open the door, and go back to tell her mother-in-law.

"Mom, the third child is here, and the eldest sister and brother-in-law are here too."

When Chen Xiaoying heard the sound, she came out holding her child and saw six or seven more people in her yard.

She didn't know what to say for a moment.

The man in front of her was her third son, Li Hongqiang. Even though she was annoyed with him, she couldn't drive him out.

There was also her eldest daughter Li Hongyan, who was accompanied by her husband and three sons. They came to pay her New Year's greetings, and she could not drive her family away.

I could only respond dryly: "Come on, then come in."

Li Hongyan entered her mother Chen Xiaoying's yard and felt that she couldn't see enough. It was so bright and tidy, it really was a small villa.

She had only seen it from outside before and had never been inside.

After entering the house, not only Li Hongyan, but even Zhao Faliang could not help but look at it again and again. His mother-in-law is really rich. This house must have cost at least hundreds of thousands, and the decoration cost two hundred thousand.

Thinking about his eldest son Pengfei, who has been struggling until now but still doesn't have a house and can't afford the bride price, he feels uncomfortable when looking at everything in front of him.

You obviously have money and it’s a simple thing, why can’t you help Pengfei?

Thinking of this, his face looked a little unhappy.

Zhao Faliang has always been this kind of person. Although he won’t say what’s on his mind, his emotions easily show on his face. He keeps his head down and doesn’t say anything, and you can tell at a glance that he is unhappy.

"Grandma, Happy New Year! Look at what I bought for you." Zhao Pengfei has always been good at talking and was particularly good at making things happen. He happily showed Chen Xiaoying the things he brought from home.

A box of bright oranges, a box of pure milk, a big bag of bananas, and two packs of cakes and other things.

Chen Xiaoying was stunned.

Wow, the eldest daughter really put in some effort this time. In previous Chinese New Year celebrations, when her family of five came over, they would at most bring a box of fruit yogurt.

Fruit yogurt with additives is at least twice as cheap as pure milk.

She also kept saying, "You guys don't like those canned yellow peaches and pure milk. Isn't it cheaper to put them here for Xiaoyu? I am filial to you, not to my nieces. Don't I buy enough things for you?"

"Look, aren't all the tofu, fried dough sticks, and meat in this house bought by me?"

"I don't need to show off during the New Year."

She didn't say a word about how much money she had saved in her passbook for her parents, and why she was withholding it and not taking out the money to let her parents prepare New Year's goods.

Zhao Pengfei piled things into the room. Chen Xiaoying thought about how much money she had given to his family in the past. Most of his tuition was the hard-earned money of her and Li Pingwang. She felt justified in accepting these things, so she didn't say anything.

There were many people in the room, and Li Hongyan was good at livening up the atmosphere, so the living room was filled with the sounds of her talking and laughing.

The third brother, Li Hongqiang, hardly spoke, and Zhao Faliang didn't speak either.

Li Hongyan would ask Zhao Xueyan all kinds of questions, and would also find time to talk to her mother Chen Xiaoying.

"This child is getting more and more beautiful. Where is Hongli? Where did she go?" Li Hongli hugged the child affectionately in her arms.

But the child was shy and started crying, stretching out his arms for Chen Xiaoying to hold him.

Li Hongyan smiled with a fake smile, and said with a hint of meaning: "Mom, Hongli is still lucky. You can take care of her children and worry about her. Look at me, I have three children, why don't you help me?"

Everyone in the room fell silent, and all looked at Chen Xiaoying.

Zhao Faliang also pricked up his ears.

Chen Xiaoying said calmly, "You are in your forties, and she is in her twenties. I have helped you for twenty years longer than I have helped her. Calculate how much these twenty years add up to?"

She looked over with a chill.

Li Hongyan's face turned a little unhappy. Why did she bring this up? "Mom, I was just joking with you. Why are you so anxious?"

"Why am I so anxious? If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered it." Chen Xiaoying was very rude.

Li Hongyan was annoyed, but she didn't dare to argue. She glanced at Li Hongqiang who was sitting next to her in silence, and changed the subject to talk about Li Hongqiang: "Third brother, don't you have something to say to mom? Just say it in front of all of us, so that mom can see your attitude of reforming yourself."

Li Hongqiang was forced into this job.

It was agreed that he would come yesterday, but he was alone and didn't dare to come. Even though he said he wanted to come, he just wouldn't move.

Li Hongyan had no choice but to bring him along to wish their mother Chen Xiaoying a happy new year today, the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Hongqiang met the cold gaze of his mother Chen Xiaoying and felt very uncomfortable. He was her son, not her enemy, so why was she so mean to him?

"Mom." Everyone was looking at him, so he could only bite the bullet and call out.

And then, it was gone.

Li Hongyan was anxious: "Speak up, why don't you say anything?"

Li Hongqiang looked at his mother Chen Xiaoying cautiously, mustered up his courage, and said, "Mom, I was wrong before. I will never make you angry again."

On the way here, Li Hongyan asked him to recite this sentence several times to make sure that when he said it, he could express the meaning of reforming himself.

"What did you do wrong?" Chen Xiaoying asked.

She just wanted to know what Li Hongqiang was thinking as to why the mother and son had ended up like this.

Did he understand her painstaking efforts? Did he know where he was wrong?

When Li Hongqiang heard this, it was like asking an illiterate who had just learned to read to write a 500-word essay. It was too difficult and he couldn't do it.

Because he didn't have any thoughts in his mind at all, he didn't think he was wrong, and of course he didn't know where he was wrong.

He subconsciously looked at his elder sister Li Hongyan.
