As soon as Ding Huizhu finished speaking, Xie Sidu's face darkened.
"Why not change the date when you could have chosen another day?" Sure enough, Xie Sidu's first words were this.
Ding Huizhu sighed inwardly, then felt something was amiss. Xie Sidu's temper was far too much; speaking to Old Master Xie like that seemed a bit excessive.
"Huizhu, why not change the time?" After not receiving a response for a while, Xie Sidu asked again.
Ding Huizhu was stunned for a moment before realizing that Xie Sidu's anger was actually directed at her!
Her head buzzed, and she looked up at Xie Sidu blankly. "Brother Du, what did you say?"
Why change the date? Xie Ziyuan's birthday and coming-of-age ceremony are perfectly fine; can't they hold it at any other time?
Ding Huizhu couldn't help but raise her voice, which was full of grievance and sadness: "Brother Du, is it possible to change the date of one's birthday at will?"
"Do you know how much Ziyuan suffered today! Today was supposed to be her coming-of-age ceremony, and Yuntang was planning to propose to her at the banquet. Such an important day was ruined like this. Do you know how much this hurts her? How many people will laugh at her tomorrow!"
As Ding Huizhu spoke, she became increasingly heartbroken, unleashing all the pent-up grievances she had suppressed throughout the night onto Xie Sidu.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Xie Sidu, and sure enough, she immediately saw a fleeting look of heartache on Xie Sidu's face.
Grandma Ding quickly retorted, "Son-in-law, what are you saying? You're blaming Huizhu? Is this Huizhu's fault? Don't you have any conscience?!"
Xie Sidu's face was somewhat gloomy. He pressed his temples and said, "Mother-in-law, this matter is not Huizhu's fault. Shouldn't it be the fault of your Ding family? Why did you force the guests to only attend Ziyuan's birthday banquet? Don't think I don't know about your underhanded dealings with the Huo family!"
Grandma Ding's face stiffened slightly, then her expression turned to one of disbelief!
After Xie Sidu married Ding Huizhu, he always treated his mother-in-law with respect and courtesy, never daring to speak loudly in front of her. Today, however, he has really gone too far!
"Oh, you! How dare you talk to me like that? Don't you have any manners?" Old Mrs. Ding was very angry.
Ding Ruoxu also looked disapproving, "Brother-in-law, how could you talk back to Mom?"
Xie Sidu sneered: "Your Ding family is allowed to bully my daughter, but I'm not allowed to speak up? What kind of logic is that?"
Turning to Ding Huizhu, his tone softened considerably, but remained tense. "Huizhu, today is only Ziyuan's lunar birthday. You know that her lunar birthday is celebrated in a small way, while her solar birthday is celebrated in a big way."
"So, why not change the date? Fine, even if you insist on holding it today, why did you collude with outsiders to force the Xie family members to only attend Ziyuan's birthday banquet?"
“I heard from the Zhang family that they wanted the elders to attend Ziyuan’s birthday party and the younger generation to attend Lili’s family reunion party, but you all disagreed.”
"The Huo family is really quite powerful! Today, the entire Linjiang City has been turned into a mess by them, with complaints everywhere!"
Although he deeply loves his wife and you are usually willing to give in to the Ding family, it doesn't mean he has no principles.
What could have been a win-win situation was forced into a power struggle, which is the real way to divide the Xie family and cause chaos within them.
Ding Huizhu froze on the spot, feeling as if she had been struck by lightning again and again, unable to think straight.
She had only one thought in her mind: Xie Sidu actually scolded her, he doesn't love her anymore!
