For her daughter's sake, Mrs. Zhu became much kinder towards Chi Fangping.

"Come in."

Chi Fangping called out "Grandma Zhu" and walked into the house cautiously.

When Niu Niu saw a stranger coming to the house, she was not shy at all. She ran over curiously to look at Lin Liying. She had a pair of big watery eyes, was at the right age for cuteness, and was pretty. Anyone who saw her would fall in love with her.

However, Lin Liying thought about why her nephew married Ji Ling, so she disliked Niu Niu as well and walked around her and into the living room.

This was the first time that Niu Niu had been treated coldly since she was a child. She threw herself into Old Lady Zhu’s arms in grievance and called her “Ancestor” in a low voice.

Old Mrs. Zhu picked up Niu Niu with a distressed look on her face. She was dissatisfied with her daughter's behavior, but after all, they were the ones who had done the wrong thing to their daughter, and her daughter had not come back for many years, so she could not bear to say anything more to her daughter.

Several people sat down in the living room. Niu Niu leaned obediently in Old Lady Zhu's arms. Although the child was young, after being ignored by Lin Liying just now, she also read the face. After sitting in the living room, she didn't even look at Lin Liying, and even held her chin high, like a proud little princess.

Lin Liying didn't like Ji Ling, and naturally she disliked her even more when she saw a little kid behaving like this.

"How was this child educated? He has no manners at all."

Old Mrs. Zhu covered her great-granddaughter's ears with her hands. "Niuniu is very sensible. Children have the purest hearts. They express their likes and dislikes directly. She likes whoever treats her well."

"From what you said, it seems that I was not good to this child?" Lin Liying asked back.

Don’t you know what your attitude was just now?

There are some things that we understand in our hearts but are not good to say out loud.

Mrs. Zhu didn't want to cause any unpleasantness with her daughter who hadn't been home for many years, so she just skipped the topic and asked, "When did you come back?"

Lin Liying said unhappily, "If you want to come back, then come back. Are you not happy that I'm back?"

Old Madam Zhu released her hand that was covering Niuniu's. "It's been a few years since you came home to visit. Why are you still in such a bad mood? Did we provoke you again?"

"Did you make the decision on Weidong's marriage?" Lin Liying asked directly.

Old Mrs. Zhu didn't answer in a hurry. She glanced at Chi Fangping first. After Chi Fangping came in, she treated herself as invisible like a quail. When she noticed that Old Mrs. Zhu was looking at her, she didn't dare to look back.

"What are you looking at Fang Ping for? I just ran into Weidong having dinner outside." Lin Liying was holding back her anger the whole way. "What's wrong with Weidong? If you find him a man from a small town, people who don't know him would think there's something wrong with Weidong. With the conditions of the Zhu family, what kind of daughter-in-law can't they marry? You are used to arbitrarily arbitrarily arranging the fate of others. Have you ever thought about our feelings?"

When Mrs. Zhu heard this, she misunderstood that her daughter was so angry because she was bringing up the matter of giving her away to be arranged in marriage with Weidong.

After realizing this, I felt more guilty towards my daughter.

"Weidong was reluctant to get married, and Xiaoling is also very outstanding. When they come back, you will understand when you see her." Mrs. Zhu thought her daughter didn't understand Ji Ling. "Xiaoling was admitted to university and joined the Finance Department on her own."

"So what? Are the Zhu family worried that they can't find a college student to marry their daughter-in-law? Can't find a good job? They have to look for one in that small place. Who are you trying to disgust?" Lin Liying didn't care about that. She said whatever she thought.

Even thinking about the fact that she was given away, he became angrier.

"Let's not talk about this in front of the child." Mrs. Zhu couldn't keep covering Niuniu's ears. "You met Weidong. They are on their way back, right?"

"We walked together, but I don't know why he was walking so slowly. I'm afraid his wife has something against me."

"Why are you saying that again? Xiaoling is a very sensible person. How could she have any objection to you for no reason?" Lin Liying stood up as soon as Mrs. Zhu finished her two sentences.

"Kid, I didn't say anything to you." Old Mrs. Zhu finally saw her daughter, but she was reluctant to let her go, so she left angrily. She quickly put Niuniu down and went to pull her daughter.

Lin Liying was just pretending and didn't really leave. When she saw her biological mother lowering her head, she sat down with an unhappy look on her face.

The atmosphere was bad, and Chi Fangping felt happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face.

Niu Niu also felt that the new stranger didn't like her, and seeing that the old ancestor was only paying attention to the other person, she felt aggrieved, pouted, and had tears in her eyes.

When Ji Ling and Zhu Weidong entered the house, they were thrown into the arms of their aggrieved daughter. She squatted down and wanted to ask her daughter what was wrong, but she only heard her daughter calling "Mom" and then she started sobbing.

Ji Ling had never seen her daughter cry since she was angry with her daughter, so she was frightened when she saw her daughter crying.

Without even bothering to change his shoes, he picked up his daughter and coaxed her softly.

Zhu Weidong only took off one shoe and didn't have time to change the other one. He also went over to coax his daughter.

The daughter lay in his wife's arms and cried. Zhu Weidong tried to hug her several times, but his daughter dodged him.

Ji Ling felt distressed and coaxed him softly.

When Old Mrs. Zhu saw Niu Niu crying, she came over with heartache, but she couldn't say that she was scared by her aunt, so she could only go over to comfort her. But Niu Niu didn't look for anyone at this time and just lay in her mother's arms.

Lin Liying sat on the sofa and said coldly, "It's just crying a few times, it's not like the sky is falling, why are you all so nervous?"

Old Madam Zhu's forehead twitched slightly, and she turned back to warn, "Liying."

Lin Liying didn't care, and even looked at Ji Ling provocatively. Ji Ling happened to be looking at her.

"My aunt is right. It's not bad for a child to cry a few times. This kind of delicate child must have been spoiled by his family."

Arguing with your children and targeting them will not necessarily put you in a good position.

No matter how guilty the Zhu family felt towards the aunt who was sent away, Ji Ling did not want her daughter to suffer any injustice to repay them.

This is her daughter and her daughter's home.

It's too cowardly to endure the injustice in your own home.

"Xiaoling, take Niuniu back upstairs first." Zhu Weidong turned around and hugged his wife, saying softly, "Leave this to me."

Ji Ling, thinking that her grandmother usually treated her well and not wanting to embarrass her grandmother, gave in, changed into slippers, and took her daughter upstairs.

After Lin Liying's disturbance, both Old Lady Zhu and Zhu Weidong looked unhappy.

Old Mrs. Zhu was worried that her grandson would have a problem with her aunt. "Weidong, your aunt is not targeting anyone. She just has this temper."

Zhu Weidong nodded. He respected his grandmother and understood the difficulties she faced, so he did not blame her for this matter.
