The children are so big now.
Su Lixuan smiled and shook her head. This silly girl was quite good at making excuses for others.
Unable to bear it any longer, she led Sheng Yan to reason things back -
"It's impossible that the Qi family has become fond of Xiaojuan just because they've spent more time together. If they weren't satisfied with Xiaojuan's family background from the beginning, they will never be satisfied with it for the rest of their lives."
Family background is the most unchangeable flaw.
Sheng Yan was confused: "Then why did their attitude change later?"
Su Lixuan looked at her lovingly: "Because of you."
If you don't have a good family background, you can make up for it with your means.
Didn’t you see that Xiao Baihua used all his life’s means on Sheng Yan?
Use Sheng Yan's personality to improve your family's impression points.
Su Lixuan: "Has your attitude towards the Qi family changed since Qi Heze came back with his family?"
Sheng Yan admitted it straightforwardly.
"I don't believe they didn't know what Qi Heze did in the countryside. A child can't be born in a day or two. It's impossible for Qi Heze to hide the fact that he has a child from his family."
"Qi Heze got married and had children in the countryside, but the Qi family kept it a secret from us. When they saw me, they told me how much Qi Heze missed me in the countryside."
When talking about this, Sheng Yan felt aggrieved.
Her Sheng family did not rely on the Qi family for its survival, and she, Sheng Yan, did not have to be with Qi Heze.
"They could have told me straight away that Qi Heze had changed his mind, told me in advance so I could make plans and prepare, but they just kept helping Qi Heze hide it from me."
"I couldn't hide it anymore. I couldn't send my wife and children back home. I had no choice but to admit Qi Heze's wife and children back home. Only then did they apologize to me."
Is this something that can be let go with just an apology?
That's not how it works.
The two families have been good friends since childhood, how could they do things to such a disgusting extent?
Sheng Yan knew what the Qi family was thinking. They couldn't stop Qi Heze. Qi Heze was in the countryside at the time and the Qi family couldn't reach that far.
So they thought that if they wanted to get married, they would get married, if they wanted to have children, they would have children, and at worst they could just keep it a secret from her and her family.
When Qi Heze returns to the city, he will have had enough fun with the country women, and when he comes back, he can still marry them to someone of equal social status, without any delays.
All the plans were thwarted by the Qi family.
Playing tricks on her and her family.
Sheng Yan: "So to be honest, although I don't like that country girl always bothering me, I am actually very grateful to her."
"If she hadn't come back with Qi Heze and prevented the Qi family's plan from succeeding, I would be the one in the passive position now."
Because according to the agreement between the two families, if nothing unexpected happens, they will get married after Qi Heze returns to the city.
Fortunately, the country girl came back and let her know what Qi Heze had done, and also let her family see the Qi family's calculations.
Otherwise, if they really got the certificate, she would be in a dilemma.
In terms of first come first served, her childhood marriage came first, but the child in the countryside was already born.
When the time comes, with the marriage certificate as a guarantee, she will either divorce or admit it. If she admits it, she will feel disgusted for the rest of her life.
But divorce... In this era, she really doesn't want to go down the path of divorce.
I’m afraid that my family will be laughed at by others outside.
Su Lixuan understood her feelings very well, but...
"You thank Xiaojuan, and Xiaojuan also has to thank you."
"Because you changed your attitude towards the Qi family, and embarrassed the elders of the Qi family, she can keep using you to get what she wants."
What's the meaning?
Su Lixuan didn't keep the secret either.
"Think about it, on one side is the daughter-in-law who comes from a poor family but is well-behaved and obedient and does whatever the elders say. On the other side is you, who comes from a good family but is stubborn and won't tolerate anyone when you get angry. This is the daughter-in-law they originally had their eyes on."
"Comparing the two, they definitely liked you more before, but ever since you fell out with them and stopped treating them kindly."
"They are so angry with you, but because their son is not doing well, they have to put on a smile for you and your family to make amends."
"Under such circumstances, when they return home and see their current daughter-in-law who is so humble and pleasing to the eye, will the Qi family be more pleased with Xiaojuan?"
Perhaps at the beginning he would still transfer his anger to Xiaojuan, thinking that if it weren't for her, their Qi family would not be inferior to the Sheng family in the outside world.
But after a long time, people get tired of being slapped in the face, and their hearts will always shift. They will go against their conscience and wonder why Xiaojuan is so "sensible".
Why is Sheng Yan so 'unreasonable' that she doesn't even give face to her elders?
"At this point, the Qi family has subconsciously considered Xiaojuan a family member, and you, their former future daughter-in-law, have become their enemy."
This is the difference between inside and outside.
"Then, seeing that the situation was ripe, Xiaojuan took action. She found you and started to play the victim and apologize, repeatedly siding with the weaker party and elevating you into an image of someone who was always right and unyielding."
"Even if everyone knew at the beginning that it was her and Qi Heze who wronged you, after they framed you a few times, everyone would ask why you were still holding on to it after all this time."
"They've apologized to you sincerely, why are you still bullying them?"
Sheng Yan's eyes widened. Yes, that's it!
She became the bully without knowing it!
But she didn't do anything.
Su Lixuan: "Like you said just now, Xiaojuan's attitude is different in front of you and in front of the Qi family."
"That's because she knows that she is now one of the Qi family's 'own people'. To the outside world and in the hearts of the Qi family, she represents the face of the Qi family."
"So she deliberately made herself look like she was being bullied by you time and time again, and that you had humiliated her. In reality, she wanted to tell the Qi family that you weren't humiliating her, but that you were humiliating the Qi family."
"That's why the Qi family cares about her so much, because they think she's being sensible by apologizing to you for the sake of the Qi family's reputation."
"But you didn't accept the apology and even bullied others. That means you are ignorant and don't give face to the Qi family. Even if it's not for her, the Qi family will say that you are shameless and domineering."
This is an obvious calculation.
But Sheng Yan's personality was such that she was arrogant and didn't want to talk much, so Xiaojuan succeeded in her schemes again and again.
Su Lixuan: "She is just using you to make her relationship with the Qi family closer, making Qi Heze feel more sorry for her and have more opinions about you."
"She came to provoke you under the pretext of not wanting to ruin the relationship between the Qi and Sheng families, and then she pitifully explained and apologized to you, only to be met with a wall from you."
"Every time Qi Heze steps forward to protect her, their relationship becomes like they've weathered a storm together."
