She said, "Grandma, don't you believe me? Why would I do this? Am I not afraid that Niuniu will tell?"

Old Mrs. Zhu didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything. She also couldn't understand why Miao Shaozhen did this.

Niu Niu can learn to speak now. If she is really pinched, like now, she will point out directly that Miao Shaozhen is not stupid and it is impossible for her to do such a thing.

Ji Ling was sitting nearby, watching the whole scene. Her grandmother's momentary hesitation still hurt her.

The bruises on Niuniu's legs are there, they can't be fake, they must have been pinched by someone, so now that grandma believes Miao Shaozhen's words, doesn't that mean she thinks she is framing Miao Shaozhen? Miao Shaozhen wiped her tears and asked Ji Ling, "Sister-in-law, I know you have always disliked me. At the beginning, I kidnapped Brother Zhu and had different thoughts about him, so you have always disliked me. I also know that I was very confused at the time, but fortunately I stopped the loss in time. I also realized my mistake and corrected the evidence in time. After so many years, sister-in-law still refuses to forgive me?"

"Do you mean that I pinched Niuniu's leg on purpose and then let Niuniu frame you?"

"Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant."

"That's not what you meant. What's the point of asking so many questions just now?" Ji Ling smiled. "Miao Shaozhen, I don't like to make enemies with others, and I don't care too much. Some things are over and done with. Niuniu is my child. Let alone such a small matter between adults, even if there is a huge grudge, I will not involve the child."

"Sister-in-law is right. Everything today is my fault." Miao Shaozhen stood up and bowed deeply to Old Lady Zhu. After she stood up, she said, "Grandma, I'm sorry. I was vicious and took out my grudges on the children. I don't have the face to see you again. I am where I am today thanks to the Zhu family's care. Otherwise, I wouldn't be where I am today. I have no conscience and I don't repay kindness. I'm leaving now and I won't have the face to visit you again in the future."

After saying that, Miao Shaozhen turned around and was about to leave.

Ji Ling would never let her go. She took a few big steps to block her way and said, "You should talk it out before you go. Don't act like you've been wronged."

Miao Shaozhen's eyes were red, and she looked at Ji Ling angrily, "Sister-in-law, why are you so aggressive?"

"Aggressive? Not necessarily. As soon as you came to my house, you stirred up a storm and threw dirty water on me. You should get to the bottom of this matter."

"Xiaoling." Old Mrs. Zhu called out in a low voice.

With this remark from Old Lady Zhu, she completely stood on Miao Shaozhen's side. Ji Ling saw the glimmer of pride in Miao Shaozhen's eyes.

Her heart sank, and she turned to look at Old Lady Zhu, "Grandma, do you also think that what I said is wrong?"

"Xiaoling, grandma will handle this matter. You take Niuniu back upstairs." Old Mrs. Zhu didn't say whether it was right or wrong.

Ji Ling nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to grandma."

She picked up her daughter and went upstairs, all the way to the bedroom, without looking back.

The living room was silent.

Mrs. Zhu made sure that Ji Ling had gone upstairs before she said, "Shao Miao, everything is fine at your job now. Just work hard and you will have a plan for the future. Your grandfather won't worry anymore, so we don't need to come to visit you anymore."

Miao Shaozhen's body stiffened slightly.

Mrs. Zhu said solemnly, "I interrupted Xiaoling to confront you today, not because I am on your side and think you are innocent, but because of the relationship between me and your grandfather. Do you understand this?"

"grandmother."

Old Mrs. Zhu raised her hand, "You don't have to explain anymore. You know the truth of the matter."

Miao Shaozhen’s face turned pale.

"You go now."

After saying that, Old Lady Zhu acted as if she didn't want to say anything more. Miao Shaozhen knew that today was completely the end for her, so she pursed her lips and strode away.

So many years have passed, why is this child still so stubborn?

Old Mrs. Zhu can ignore her feelings for her grandson. Feelings are uncontrollable. Her grandson is getting married anyway, and she will turn back when she hits the wall.

But this child was so mean that he could harm any child. Thinking of the bruises on Niu Niu's legs, Mrs. Zhu felt as if a thousand-pound stone was pressing on her heart and she couldn't breathe.

Upstairs, Ji Ling gently rubbed her daughter's legs.

Niu Niu leaned obediently in her mother's arms, her big watery eyes blinking. When she looked at you, it seemed as if the whole world was in front of you.

Ji Ling's depressed heart finally softened when she saw her daughter's pure gaze, and she kissed her daughter's face.

"Does it still hurt?"

"Mom, blow on it and it won't hurt."

Ji Ling smiled, lowered her head and blew on her daughter's legs, then asked, "Is Niuniu afraid?"

Niuniu shook her head vigorously, "I'm not afraid. If I see a bad aunt in the future, I will beat her and ask the uncles to beat her."

"Well, if someone bullies her, just ask the uncle to beat her up."

Outside the door, Old Mrs. Zhu stopped, but did not knock, and went downstairs quietly.

In the evening, when the family was having dinner, Old Mrs. Zhu told the story and expressed her thoughts in front of Ji Ling.

"Xiaoling, grandma knows that you feel wronged, but our Zhu family owed the Miao family a favor back then, and now we have repaid it, but Niuniu has been wronged."

Old Master Zhu said with a stern face, "Nonsense, no matter how great the favor is, we have already paid it back for taking care of Miao Shaozhen all these years. With so many people in our Zhu family, it is not yet Niuniu's turn to repay the debt."

"Dad, Niu Niu is also a member of the Zhu family." Zhu's father was afraid that his mother would lose face, so he changed his words.

Ji Ling felt aggrieved before, thinking that her grandmother was questioning and doubting her. Now that she knows it was a misunderstanding, she feels ashamed.

"Grandpa, grandma handled this matter correctly." Ji Ling lowered her head embarrassedly, "I misunderstood grandma before."

Everyone was stunned.

Then I realized what Ji Ling had misunderstood.

Kong Siya smiled, "If it were me, I would also misunderstand this. You love your own child, but you are still suspected of pinching him until he turned purple. How can you not feel wronged? Only you are good-tempered and can go upstairs obediently. If it were me, I would have questioned grandma in person a long time ago."

Old Mrs. Zhu laughed, "That's right. Although your mother-in-law has a good temper, she argued with me a lot in the past. I thought that I should not look for an educated daughter-in-law in the future. She argued with you every day, but later I was afraid of her."

The unpleasantness just now was resolved by Kong Siya's few words. Ji Ling took the initiative to admit her mistake at this time and also wanted to change the subject.

It also made up for her earlier questioning of her grandmother's fairness.

Seeing that the whole family was trying to make up for the situation, Mr. Zhu did not pursue the matter any further. However, he was a petty person, so he turned around and told Zhu Yaowu and the others the secret.
