Aunt Chi didn't think much of it at first, assuming that the old lady was just lonely and wanted to pet a child.
Staying in the capital to study at an academy would certainly lead to a better future than in Pinghe Town, so Aunt Chi was only happy and didn't think much about it.
But upon hearing her daughter's words, Aunt Chi's heart skipped a beat, and her expression became unpredictable.
She didn't want to assume malice towards her own mother, but...
"Tangtang, what do you think your maternal grandmother meant?"
Aunt Chi felt like she had lost her mind and couldn't think anymore.
Chi Tang bluntly said, "I think Grandmother wants to tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law that if they dare to hit Changsheng, she will mistreat Xiaosuotou."
"No way, she's Xiao Suotou's great-grandmother, how could she do such a thing?" Aunt Chi still couldn't believe it.
It's not common for elderly people to raise children poorly, but it's understandable.
The saying "grandparents love their grandchildren more" is no joke.
Moreover, her mother saw Changsheng as a reflection of herself from back then, as a way to make up for the regret of losing her daughter. So, although she was angry, Aunt Chi could also imagine how her mother had spoiled Changsheng.
But if we say that the mother was harsh on Xiao Suotou...
Aunt Chi couldn't imagine it.
"If Grandmother is really as you imagine, Mother, then why did she blurt out that she would make my eldest brother swear that if he dared to hit Changsheng, Xiao Suotou would be punished? Isn't that using Xiao Suotou to threaten my eldest brother and sister-in-law?"
Chi Tang got angry as she spoke.
Children may be angry when their elders spoil them, but they won't hold a grudge against their elders.
But it was the words my grandmother blurted out, swearing that she would get her comeuppance, that truly sent chills down my spine.
"Mother, we can't let Xiao Suotou go. I'm worried that Grandmother has gone mad..." Chi Tang looked at Aunt Chi with sorrow, reached out to tug at her sleeve, and said coquettishly, "We've already wronged our eldest sister-in-law enough by raising Changsheng astray. If something happens to Xiao Suotou, how can our family face our eldest sister-in-law?"
Think about it, my sister-in-law has three children. Xingxing is living outside, Changsheng was raised by his maternal grandmother since he was a child, and only Xiaosuotou has always been under my sister-in-law's care.
It's true that parents love their children, but feelings are developed over time.
Sister-in-law Chi inevitably shows favoritism towards Xiao Suotou, who has always been by her side, is well-behaved and sensible, never causes trouble, and is also a good student.
If something really happens to Xiao Suotou, Sister-in-law Chi will probably go crazy.
"No way! Absolutely no way! Isn't it enough that you ruined my lifespan? Do you want my little lock too? The Yang family has plenty of children. If they're lonely, let their own grandchildren take care of them."
Aunt Chi said firmly.
Aunt Chi still felt angry when she thought about it: "I shouldn't have let Changsheng be raised by her in the first place! How did my perfectly good grandson turn out like this?"
She knew she would also favor her grandson, but she considered herself a reasonable mother-in-law.
She rarely interferes when her daughter-in-law is disciplining the children.
If Changsheng had been raised by his parents, how could he have turned out like this?
Just thinking about it makes me upset.
"Mother, could you please tell my eldest brother about Grandmother's wish for Xiao Suotou to accompany her?" Chi Tang said.
Aunt Chi was somewhat reluctant: "Fine, I won't agree then, but please don't tell your older brother, okay?"
Aunt Chi felt ashamed!
I feel bad for my son.
So she didn't want to say.
"Mother, do you think my maternal grandmother will let this go? She might bring it up with my eldest brother and sister-in-law. If you keep it from her, what if something happens?"
Chi Tang disagreed.
It's best to synchronize information at home to avoid errors due to discrepancies in the information.
"Okay, fine, I'll go talk to them."
Aunt Chi gave up entirely.
I can't not say it.
"Hehe, Mom, you're so good to me." Chi Tang threw herself into her mother's arms, acting coquettishly.
Although her mother's current state is partly due to her own deliberate guidance, it cannot be denied that her mother herself possessed the virtues of being kind and receptive to advice.
Holding her daughter, Aunt Chi said sadly, "If I'm going to become this confused when I get old, I'd rather just die right now."
That way, the younger generation will always remember you fondly.
It's never been like this before, with things getting so embarrassing.
"...Don't talk nonsense, Mother, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old!"
"Silly girl, how can anyone live to be a hundred? Wouldn't that make someone an old monster?"
The mother and daughter hugged each other, chatting and laughing, and Aunt Chi's mood improved considerably.
Actually, from the beginning, Aunt Chi was angry, but not too disappointed.
Perhaps it's because Aunt Chi didn't have much affection for her biological mother.
It sounds realistic, but it's true.
When the younger generation gets married, regardless of gender, their focus naturally shifts to their own little family, their spouse, and eventually their children.
Naturally, one will show less concern for their parents.
Moreover, Aunt Chi and Madam Yang had been separated for forty years, and during those forty years, someone else had played the role of a mother, which led to the current situation where Aunt Chi and Madam Yang were not close.
Perhaps the reason why Madam Yang dotes on Changsheng so much is partly due to Aunt Chi's lack of closeness to her.
After Aunt Chi and Mr. and Mrs. Chi Dashan recounted what Old Madam Yang had said, the usually honest Sister-in-law Chi immediately became furious.
"Do we, as parents, have to agree to other people's conditions just to discipline our own children?"
and……
Although Sister-in-law Chi has never been particularly bright, she is always exceptionally sensitive when it comes to matters concerning her children.
So after hearing this, Sister Chi's first reaction was—
"They want us to send the little lock over? What, are they making us swear that if we don't agree, she'll take the little lock over herself? If we hurt Changsheng, will she make the little lock her punishment?"
Such a vicious thought made Sister-in-law Chi furious.
She held her head high, like a fierce lioness, so domineering for the first time, refusing to consider her in-laws' situation.
"I want to go home. I want to take my children home right now!"
She couldn't stay here for even a second longer!
She wants to take both the small lock and the immortality with her!
Seeing how agitated her eldest daughter-in-law was, Aunt Chi quickly explained, "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't be too anxious. I would never agree to that, don't worry."
Sister-in-law Chi stubbornly refused to speak.
She was afraid that she would say something unpleasant if she opened her mouth.
Of course we can't agree to that!
If her mother-in-law dares to agree, she'll take the children and leave the Chi family on her own!
A child is a mother's lifeblood.
Chi Dashan, his face dark, took a deep breath before trying to appease his sister-in-law: "Little sister, calm down. It's Grandmother's birthday, if we leave now..."
"What, are you going to stay and celebrate her birthday?"
Sister-in-law Chi shoved Chi Dashan away, her angry eyes filled with disappointment.
