Although Xiao Jie couldn't understand the swear words his grandmother was using, children are sensitive. From Lin Baiwei's pale face and the way the neighbors kept shaking their heads, he could tell that the old lady's words were not nice and were very offensive.
These past few days, Lin Baiwei has been spending time with her son, and the results have been remarkable. Children are naturally close to their mothers, and nothing can sever the bond of blood. In just a few days, Xiao Jie has become very close to Lin Baiwei, which is why he can't stand seeing the old lady insulting his mother.
Lin Baiwei was initially dizzy with anger, but upon hearing her son's words, it was as if a clear spring had welled up in her heart, instantly clearing her mind, and her eyes became a little moist.
Ye Qingqing was right; spending time with your child will eventually pay off. She only spent a few days with her son, and he already knew how to protect her.
She had wronged her son so much in the past.
The old lady was both angry and jealous. She had raised her grandson with great difficulty and taken care of him day and night for five years, but he couldn't compare to her daughter-in-law's five days of companionship. What an ungrateful little brat!
But the old lady quickly thought of another possibility: her daughter-in-law must have said something to her grandson in private, trying to sow discord between them. Children don't understand anything; they're loyal to whoever feeds them. Since her daughter-in-law bought him delicious food and fun toys, her grandson's heart was with her.
"Xiao Jie, it's your mom who's bullying Grandma. She's trying to kick Grandma out. If Grandma leaves, you'll never see her again, and you won't be able to eat Grandma's fried chicken legs anymore. Xiao Jie... Grandma can't live without you, my dear grandson..."
The old lady, with tears streaming down her face, began to persuade her grandson. She knew her son was unreliable and couldn't compete with her daughter-in-law; her grandson was her biggest bargaining chip.
Although the old woman was foolish, she was also somewhat shrewd. She realized that Lin Baiwei had no feelings for her son anymore and could abandon him at any time, but she couldn't bear to part with her grandson. She had to hold on to her grandson tightly.
Hmph, that vixen thinks she can just dump her son and have fun with her lover? Don't even think about it!
Either leave with nothing, or stay at home and serve the Zhao family like slaves; don't even think about going anywhere.
The old lady was very clear about her calculations. If they really got divorced, her son wouldn't have as much money as before. How could she live a happy life then, and how would her four children back home survive?
Xiao Jie hesitated, looking at his grandmother and then at his mother, tears welling up in his eyes. He couldn't bear to part with his grandmother, nor did he want to see her and his mother arguing. What should he do?
"Mom, I promise I'll eat properly from now on, I won't eat fried chicken legs anymore, and I won't watch TV anymore. Please don't let Grandma leave, okay?" Xiao Jie came up with a good idea.
It's all because he ate too many fried chicken legs and didn't listen to his mother that she got angry. He must correct his bad habits and make his mother happy so that she and his grandmother won't fight anymore.
But the child is too naive. The conflict between Lin Baiwei and the old lady is no longer just about the child; it has reached the point of irreconcilable differences.
Lin Baiwei felt sorry for her son and pulled Xiao Jie to her side, whispering, "Mom didn't argue because of you. Xiao Jie, you're a good boy, but you have some bad habits. We'll change them slowly in the future. Mom is now trying to get back what rightfully belongs to you. Your grandma and the others gave your things to others, and Mom has to get them back for you."
Ye Qingqing twitched her lips. That's true; children are the most possessive of their food.
Sure enough, Xiao Jie frowned and asked seriously, "Did Grandma give away my dinosaur and Ultraman toys?"
