My mother-in-law somehow managed to get her beloved girl in last time, so there shouldn't be any problem this time either.
Ah, if only my brother-in-law hadn't fallen from power, their whole family could have enjoyed a better life.
Now look what happened; instead of enjoying the good fortune, they've gotten themselves into a mess.
It caused their whole family to be pointed at and gossiped about whenever they went out.
Fortunately, she was clever and threatened Da Hai to split up the family, otherwise the three of them would have continued to live a hard life.
Zhan Dahai secretly tugged at his wife's clothes, trying to get her to be more polite.
"Zhan Dahai, don't pull me."
Zou Mingxia immediately shook off her husband's hand. Seeing that her mother-in-law was unmoved, she continued to try to win her over emotionally.
“Mom, Dahai is shy and embarrassed to speak up. It’s okay, I’m thick-skinned, I’ll speak up.”
In her excitement, she even pulled her son in front of her mother-in-law, saying, "Ze Run is your Zhan family's grandson, you can't ignore him."
Seeing her grandson affectionately call her grandma, Granny Zhan raised her eyelids, pulled him into her arms, stroked his little head, and was about to speak when her beloved returned.
"grandmother."
"Sister, Zerun misses you."
Zhan Zerun ran excitedly to his older sister.
Lin Xin'ai also dotes on her only cousin. She took his hand and walked to her grandmother, then turned to greet her uncle and aunt.
Zou Mingxia snorted coldly, showing no kindness whatsoever to her down-on-her-luck niece.
"Zerun, come here to Mom."
Zhan Zerun stood still, but the next second he fell into his mother's arms.
"No, I want to stay with my sister."
The little body was very slippery; it escaped from its mother's grasp, circled around behind its older sister, and avoided its mother's clutches.
"You silly child..."
Zou Mingxia was furious, and Zhan Dahai couldn't stand it anymore. "Alright, he wants to be with his sweetheart, why did you go and pull him away?"
Then she spoke kindly to her niece, saying, "My dear, that's just how your aunt is, don't take it to heart."
"Grandma just said you went to your classmate's house to play, you..."
Zou Mingxia immediately interrupted her husband's nonsense; she wasn't here to reminisce.
"Alright, stop talking about these meaningless things."
"Mom, stop keeping quiet. Give me a straight answer: is this feasible?"
Lin Xin, protective of her grandmother, turned to her aunt and said, "Mom, Grandma has no way to help."
"snort……"
Zou Mingxia laughed in exasperation.
A year ago, she would have definitely doted on this niece like a precious treasure.
But things are different now; she is a fallen heiress.
"Don't talk to me like that. Your grandmother got you into school back then, so she can definitely find a way to get Zerun in now."
"Besides, if someone like you can get in, why can't Zerun?"
Lin Xin'ai's face turned pale instantly.
“Zou Mingxia…”
"Mingxia".
Grandma Zhan and her son were shocked and quickly stopped Zou Mingxia.
How could she slander a child?
Zou Mingxia realized she had said the wrong thing and turned her face away, shutting her mouth.
Grandma Zhan hugged her granddaughter tightly, saying, "Xinxin, don't listen to your aunt. Grandma loves you."
Lin Xin'ai didn't want her grandmother to worry about her, so she forced a smile.
"Grandma, I'm fine."
Grandma Zhan sighed inwardly and looked at Zou Mingxia. "Mingxia, let me tell you the truth. Zerun is my own grandson, and I want him to be successful in the future, but I can't help it this time."
Zhan Dahai stepped in to mediate, saying, "Mom, it's okay, Zerun is still young anyway."
"Small what?
Zou Mingxia's expression hardened, and she immediately shouted.
"Zhan Dahai, you're a good-for-nothing, do you also hope your son will be a good-for-nothing?"
Zhan Dahai was being scolded by his wife, who was pointing her finger at him.
"Mom, I finally understand. You always favored my eldest sister, and now you're favoring her daughter. It turns out that Dahai is not important at all."
Zou Mingxia's words were clearly an attempt to sow discord.
Granny Zhan was so angry that she trembled, "You, you..."
What a misfortune for the family! How could they have married such a wretch?
Zhan Dahai exclaimed, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Lin Xin'ai said worriedly, "Grandma, don't get agitated."
Zhan Zerun cried at the top of her lungs, "Waaah...Grandma."
Zou Mingxia was also startled and quickly tried to exonerate herself, saying, "This has nothing to do with me."
Granny Zhan broke free from her son's hand; in the end, she still blamed her son for being cowardly.
He was kept in check by Zou Mingxia and didn't dare to say a word.
After calming down, she swallowed the anger that had been rising in her chest and smiled at her granddaughter, "I'm fine, don't worry."
She raised her hand to wipe away her grandson's tears, saying, "Zerun, Grandma is okay, let's not cry."
Listening to his grandmother, Zhan Zerun sniffed and stopped shouting.
"Grandma, oh... don't cry."
"You should go back. Zerun is my grandson. I'll try my best to find a way."
Without even looking up, Granny Zhan dismissed them.
"Mom, I'll stay and take care of you."
"No need, you can go back."
"Dahai, since Mom has said so, let's not force it."
Zou Mingxia kept tugging at her husband's clothes, but the simple-minded man seemed oblivious.
Helpless, she smiled at her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, since you've said that, I'll go home and wait for your good news."
As she spoke, she quickly picked up her son and pulled Dahai out with him.
"Mommy, oh no, I'm not going back. I want to play with my sister."
"What are you playing around with? You should be studying soon."
Even after the family of three had walked quite a distance, their voices could still be heard.
"Xin Xin, what are you holding in your hand?"
