Sheng Yan broke free from Lu Bo's hand and spoke rationally and objectively.
"There's nothing to say. I know there must be misunderstandings here, but if your family values me enough, these misunderstandings shouldn't exist, right?"
To put it bluntly, it’s a question of whether you attach importance to it or not.
Whenever a distinguished guest came to her house, the whole family would warmly entertain them and never let the guest feel neglected.
But what about the Lu family?
From the moment she arrived until now, the table was a mess, and she didn't even have a cup of hot water.
No one thought to pour it for her.
I don’t know if the Lu family was too busy to think of it, or if they were just bullying a little girl who was thin-skinned and wanted to intimidate her.
But no matter what, she shouldn't be treated like this even though she came with such expensive gifts.
It’s not a question of whether she cares or not, but a question of whether the Lu family values her or not.
In this situation of being ignored and neglected, no matter how good her upbringing was, Sheng Yan would not be allowed to lose her self-respect.
She is not allowed to humble herself to sympathize and understand those who neglect her.
She has her pride.
Lu Bo: "Xiaoyan, believe me, my family really values you. Ever since my mom knew you were coming to visit, she's been asking me if I have any dietary restrictions."
He was smart and noticed something different about the house as soon as he entered.
He quickly pointed it out to Sheng Yan: "Look, even the cracks in the windows at home are clean."
"Because I told my mom that you like to be clean, my mom was afraid that the mess in the house would make you uncomfortable, so she started cleaning before dawn today."
Zhang Guifang quickly agreed: "Yes, I was just afraid of neglecting you. Not to mention the cracks in the windows, I even stretched out my arms to sweep the places under the bed that you can't see."
As she spoke, she wiped her eyes, but she couldn't squeeze out any tears and could only wipe them away.
Rubbing her eyes until they were red, Zhang Guifang said aggrievedly, "I was worried that you would feel uncomfortable coming here, so I kept an eye on everything and wanted to make it perfect so that I could leave a good impression on you."
"But who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the dishes I had prepared would be ruined by these two debt collectors at home. I wanted to quickly prepare a new table, but I didn't expect you guys to be back already."
It was the first time that the two treasures of the Lu family were called debt collectors by Zhang Guifang. They pouted and looked unhappy.
But this time, Zhang Guifang didn't dare to spoil them anymore. She thought that children could be spoiled at any time, and her own children would never be lost.
But the daughter-in-law is different.
If you miss out on such a capable daughter-in-law like Sheng Yan, you might never see such a big store again.
She would never let her youngest son down.
Not knowing how to keep him, Zhang Guifang simply got ruthless and picked up Erbao and started beating him.
"I'll let you guys be greedy and make some trouble while the adults aren't paying attention..."
In an instant, the sound of slapping, the crying of children, and the screams of the eldest and second children filled the whole house.
Sheng Yan's face turned even worse when she saw this. She wanted to walk out, but she couldn't bear it when she saw how cruelly Zhang Guifang beat the child.
"Aunt Zhang, please stop hitting the child. Don't hurt him because he's so young."
Zhang Guifang: "I have to beat them. I offended you today, and you are kind enough not to bother with them. But if you offend someone who won't give in tomorrow, I, your grandmother, will have to deal with them even if I don't beat outsiders."
This is because Ye Wei was not around. If Ye Wei had heard what Zhang Guifang said, she wouldn't know how she would feel.
In her opinion, the old lady Zhang Guifang was never reasonable.
It turns out that the other person is not unreasonable, but Ye Wei is not worthy of being reasonable with him.
When Zhang Guifang met Sheng Yan, she understood the truth better than anyone else.
Sheng Yan blushed slightly, feeling that the "unyielding" person Zhang Guifang mentioned was referring to her.
No, it should be said that if she insisted on being serious and leaving angrily today, she would become the person that Zhang Guifang said was unwilling to give in and argued with a child.
Seeing that she was wavering, Zhang Guifang beat the children even harder, and the cries of the eldest and second children were deafening.
Sheng Yan was pitifully pulled on the sleeve by Lu Bo. Looking at the miserable state of the two children, her heart softened and she had no choice but to give up and be pulled back to the stool.
"Aunt Zhang, please stop hitting me. I can't take it personally when a child makes a mistake."
No matter how angry she was, she wouldn't watch Lubo's mother beat the child to death over such a small matter.
She took a step back, and Zhang Guifang immediately stopped.
But they didn't expect that the two treasures of the Lu family were more irritable than each other. The eldest treasure jumped off the stool angrily and pulled his sister to walk out.
Lu Dahai's face darkened and he asked, "Where are you going?"
Dabao snorted, and Erbao said crisply without even turning his head: "Grandma is bad, she hits people, go find grandma!"
Hey, you little heartless people!
After getting beaten, all the kindness we had before was forgotten.
Zhang Guifang was so angry that her head was buzzing: "Go ahead, just like your grandma treats you well, I think you can stay there for a few days."
When her second daughter-in-law passed away, she had thought about sending the children to the Chen family to help take care of them for a few days.
But it was returned by the old lady of the Chen family within two days of being sent there. She said that seeing Dabao would remind them of their poor daughter.
I can't bear to watch it.
But what is the reality?
Isn't it just that she doesn't have time to take care of the two children and feels that the two children are eating the Chen family's food for free?
For so many years, the Chen family has always been nice to the two children. She has been taking care of them wholeheartedly, but she didn't expect that after taking care of them for so long, people would think she was a bad person.
Zhang Guifang was both heartbroken and angry at the same time. She pointed outside and cursed, "You little guy, you're so tall as to be angry with me. Go, go to Chen's house. I want to see how your grandma treats you."
I'm afraid he doesn't even want to feed the two little guys enough!
Sheng Yan sat there with an embarrassed look on her face. This matter had something to do with her after all. She had originally thought of just leaving and forgetting about it.
Who knew that she didn't leave, but the two children were so angry that they ran away from home.
After some hesitation, Sheng Yan spoke: "Aunt Zhang..."
Zhang Guifang: "You don't need to persuade me. Just tell me if I was wrong in disciplining the child just now."
Sheng Yan shook her head honestly.
In her opinion, it was indeed true. If her child was so undisciplined that he ate up a whole table of food before the adults even sat down, she would have given him a severe beating.
"That's all." Zhang Guifang was worried but appeared reasonable. "Children shouldn't be spoiled!"
"And since we made you so angry just now, we can't ask you to be more understanding just because the child is young. We can't force you to be tolerant when you're the one being wronged, right?"
"Don't worry, Xiaoyan, there's no such thing in our family!"
Zhang Guifang's words were so powerful that Sheng Yan immediately looked at Zhang Guifang and the entire Lu family with new respect.
She hadn't met such a reasonable family in a long time.
