She raised her hand to knock on the door, and Qin Xiaoxiao's voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
Wan Guihua glared hatefully at the door and said coldly, "It's me, open the door!"
Qin Xiaoxiao was taken aback. The voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it before.
Watching Qin Chenxi and Qin Chenrui rolling around on the kang (a heated brick bed), Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want to open the door. She was afraid that if she didn't see the children for a moment, they would fall to the ground.
But Wan Guihua outside was getting impatient, knocking louder and louder, and even shouting.
"Qin Xiaoxiao, open the door, I want to see my grandson."
"Qin Xiaoxiao, you can't stop me from seeing my grandson. He's our Su family's child, our son's child. You have no right to stop me from seeing my grandson."
"Qin Xiaoxiao, open the door, or I'll tell Su Lu that you won't let me in to see my grandson."
...
Qin Xiaoxiao finally understood; the person knocking on the door was her adoptive mother-in-law, Wan Guihua.
Qin Xiaoxiao had originally planned to use a quilt to block the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), but when she opened the door to see what Wan Guihua was up to, she heard Wan Guihua calling her "grandson" repeatedly. Before she could even move, every word she said was a threat.
Qin Xiaoxiao grew angrier the more she listened and decided to ignore her and let her do whatever she wanted.
Qin Xiaoxiao stayed inside. Mu Jin went to the medical point again in the afternoon. There was no one in the backyard. The other educated youths hadn't returned from work yet. So, apart from Qin Xiaoxiao, there was no one else in the entire educated youth compound. As long as Qin Xiaoxiao didn't open the door for her, Wan Guihua couldn't do anything about her. She couldn't even find anyone to support her in trying to morally blackmail her.
After knocking on the door for a long time without Qin Xiaoxiao coming out to open it for her, Wan Guihua was so angry that she covered her chest with her hand and pointed at the door with a trembling finger, "You're really something, you really are something, you won't even let your mother-in-law in, and you won't let me see my grandson, you just wait, this is not over."
Wan Guihua stormed off. Once she heard that there was no more noise outside, Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes and started coaxing the two babies to sleep.
Qin Chenrui is very obedient. He will sleep when told to, and he will know what it means when you pat him a few times. He will close his eyes and fall asleep soon.
Qin Chenxi, however, was quite mischievous. Perhaps because she was a little heavier than Qin Chenrui at birth, she always took advantage of her weight to bully her younger brother. Before, she would only reach out and pull his hair and clothes, but now that she can roll over, she happily rolls onto her brother every time, and she won't be satisfied until she is lying on top of him.
Every time Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu picked her up and put her aside, she would grumble unhappily for a couple of minutes, and then try her best to roll onto her younger brother until she was lying on top of him. Only then would she happily look up at Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu to show off.
Qin Chenrui is a quiet, reserved person. He'll play with whatever you give him. If you give him a rattle, he can play with it all day. If you ask him for it, he won't get angry. If you take it away, he'll just play with his hands. If you give him something else, he'll continue playing with it. In Qin Xiaoxiao's opinion, he's a person without a temper, and she'll inevitably be bullied by her older sister in the future.
Qin Xiaoxiao never expected that the bloodline suppression would manifest itself at this moment, giving the older sister absolute authority over the younger brother.
After Wan Guihua returned home, she lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and groaned that she had a headache, which made Ma Mingming roll his eyes repeatedly. Then he expressed his concern and found some medicine for her.
When Su Zhiyuan returned, Wan Guihua finally found her pillar of support. She told Su Zhiyuan what had happened, and Su Zhiyuan became somewhat angry.
"Even though we've separated the family, Su Lu is still my son. Can't I, as his grandmother, even see my grandson? That's going too far!"
Because of the family division, Su Zhiyuan lacked confidence in front of the Qin family. Qin Feng's cold treatment these days made him extremely sad. He felt that he had an inescapable responsibility for the fact that his old brother of several decades had fallen on such a bad note, and he felt deeply sorry for Qin Feng.
But today's events made him completely forget his "I'm sorry" and forget to investigate why Qin Xiaoxiao wouldn't open the door for Wan Guihua. He only felt that Qin Xiaoxiao didn't want them to see their grandson and wanted them to sever all ties with Su Lu.
At this moment, Su Zhiyuan suddenly felt disgusted with Qin Xiaoxiao, realizing that he had misjudged her and that Qin Xiaoxiao was not a good person.
"Let's eat first. After we finish eating, I'll go with you. I want to see if she'll open the door for us, the two of us old folks, when we come together."
If it still doesn't open, then I'll have to go to the Qin family and ask them how they raise their children.
With Su Zhiyuan as her backer, Wan Guihua regained her confidence. After quickly finishing her meal, she pulled Su Zhiyuan towards the educated youth compound.
At this time, Qin Xiaoxiao had finished dinner with Su Lu and was telling him about Wan Guihua's visit during the day.
After recounting what had happened, Su Lu's face darkened.
"Doesn't she know that a baby who is 100 days old can roll over? Such a small baby, if no one is watching him, he'll roll onto the ground."
"The kang (heated brick bed) is so narrow, it's difficult for the two of us to even sleep on it, how could there be enough room for a child to turn over?"
Qin Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, "I'm fine, but your mom... Honey, you'd better be prepared, your parents will definitely be here soon."
After calling for ages and not getting an answer, how can these old couple just swallow their anger?
Didn't you see her being scolded by someone standing outside the door?
Now that her son is back, she'll surely tell him all the bad things she did to him!
Su Lu waved his hand, "Don't worry about this, I'll talk to her."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Lu with a teasing smile, "Speak of the devil, and he appears! Your parents arrived pretty quickly!"
Su Lu glanced helplessly at Qin Xiaoxiao, then kissed her on the cheek again. "Wait, your husband will avenge you."
Qin Xiaoxiao glared at him, "Get lost and don't cause me any trouble."
Su Lu smiled, got up and left.
Upon opening the gate, he found his parents standing outside. Su Lu sighed deeply, walked out of the gate, and then closed it behind him.
Su Zhiyuan's face immediately darkened. "Fourth brother, what do you mean? What, are we not allowed to enter your house?"
Su Lu shook her head, "Of course not, I was just afraid that you were talking too loudly and would frighten the child."
I know Mom came by today, and I know she left in a huff, so it's better to clarify some things in public.
Su Zhiyuan took a deep breath. "What do you want to say?"
At first, Wan Guihua looked at Su Lu with some pity, but later her gaze was filled with hatred.
"What's there to say? It's a fact that your wife won't open the door for me; she just doesn't want me to see my grandson."
Upon hearing this, Su Lu suddenly calmed down, but his voice became even colder.
“She never said you couldn’t see the child, and my husband and I never stopped you from seeing the child either. But it’s been more than three months since the child was born, and you’re only now remembering that you are the grandparents of twins? Where were you before?”
Mom, you gave birth to five of us children. You should know that a baby can crawl at 100 days old, right?
Xiaoxiao is home alone with two kids during the day. She's already overwhelmed with watching them and has to take care of other things at home. Do you think she has time to open the door for you? Aren't you worried that the two kids might fall to the ground?
If you fall and get hurt, I'll ask you, what should you do?
"If he gets seriously injured, will you be responsible for the rest of his life?"
Su Lu looked at Wan Guihua expressionlessly, his disappointment in her growing even stronger.
