At the Dong family's dinner table, although the Dong father and son were staring at each other, everyone could see that they were in a good mood.
When the family is in a good mood, everyone else will be in a good mood too, and the food tastes especially delicious when they eat.
Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Mr. Dong’s youngest daughter, Dong Yuanyuan, came back.
"Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law and nephews, I brought you gifts."
"Yuanyuan is back. Come and have dinner. Let's eat first and then we can distribute the gifts." Ren Xiaofang was very happy to see her daughter.
She didn't dare to breathe at home these two days because she sent her husband's eldest daughter to the Su family.
Her husband and her eldest and second stepsons all looked at her coldly. If she made any more mistakes...
She believed that the father and son would tear her apart, but now that her daughter was back, she no longer had to worry.
"Thank you, little sister, for the gifts you bought for us." The two sisters-in-law of the Dong family thanked them with a smile.
Their stepmother and stepsister both have salaries, they themselves also have salaries, and the Dong family has a personal assistant.
Everyone in the Dong family gives part of their salary to the assistant to buy groceries and household expenses, and the old man takes care of all other household expenses.
So my stepmother and stepsister don’t eat their food either, because their children are still studying and don’t have to pay for their living expenses.
To be honest, they didn't suffer any loss. As for driving their eldest sister-in-law and her family away, she was not their sister.
Mrs. Dong Da and Mrs. Dong Er only spoke ill of their stepmother in secret in front of their husbands.
In fact, they are still very happy in their hearts, but they dare not laugh out loud, so their husbands will not blame them for laughing at their stepsister.
"Yuanyuan, sit down and eat." Old Master Dong also favors his youngest daughter more.
"Dad, I've already eaten outside. Wouldn't it be more fun for you to eat and receive gifts at the same time?"
Dong Yuanyuan acted coquettishly, holding Grandpa Dong with one hand and her mother with the other.
Dong Qihua and his son ate seriously and didn't pay much attention to his sister (aunt).
"Aunt, don't hide away anymore. Su Shuoci is already married."
Dong Baozhu, the daughter of Dong's second uncle, said innocently that she was sixteen years old and in the third grade of junior high school in the compound.
"Baozhu, who told you that your aunt was hiding from that cripple? Your aunt is going to perform in another place. Do you know about the performance?"
Ren Xiaofang could not stand anyone slandering her precious daughter.
"Grandma, I heard from my classmate that her sister and my aunt are best friends. Her sister said..."
"That's enough. Eat your meal properly." Dong Laoer scolded his daughter. He didn't care why his younger sister had been away for several months.
As soon as their eldest sister came back, she was driven away by this stepmother who was only two years older than him.
His father-in-law's family is a bunch of scoundrels who always try to get something for himself. He is too busy to take care of himself to visit his sister's family.
The main reason is that I don’t have any extra money, and I’m so angry that I don’t know who to vent my anger on.
"Baozhu~ You said Brother Shuoci is married? Who would want to marry a disabled person? Is she a country girl?"
Dong Yuanyuan asked with great interest. She was not afraid of being laughed at by her family. She had often declared at home that she would not marry anyone but Su Shuoci.
It's a pity that he is disabled. It is impossible for a beautiful girl like me to spend the rest of my life with a disabled person.
After being yelled at by her father, Dong Baozhu didn't dare to speak easily. When she heard her aunt asking her, she just looked at her father timidly.
It seemed as if she would tell him everything she knew as long as Dong Laoer nodded.
Dong Yuanyuan didn't want to ask her second brother for help for such a small matter, so she turned to ask her eldest niece Dong Lili.
Dong Lili has liked the eldest son of the Sheng family since she was a child, and has always disliked her grandmother's arrangement of the Sheng family.
So I also don’t like this little aunt. She eats with her head down just like her father and brother.
Seeing Dong Yuanyuan asking her, she said without even looking up, "He married Gu Jiaojiao from next door."
"What? Brother Shuo Ci actually married a sickly fake daughter? Is there any hope for the Su family? How can a sickly girl be worthy of my brother Shuo Ci?"
Dong family: ...
Everyone was puzzled as to why Xiang Dong Yuanyuan was not worthy of him, while Su Shuoci went out to buy rice and meat himself.
It is said that the Su family eats meat every day. They are not short of money and they even support our aunt's family!
"Jiaojiao is at a disadvantage for marrying a disabled man. She is the most beautiful girl in our compound."
Dong Qiming, the son of Dong Laoer, immediately retorted. He couldn't stand anyone belittling Gu Jiaojiao.
"Qiming, you don't still like Gu Jiaojiao, do you?" Dong Yuanyuan asked in a shrill voice.
"Jiaojiao is my cousin, so what if I like her?"
Dong Qiming is eighteen years old this year, two months younger than Gu Jiaojiao, and he once had a crush on Gu Jiaojiao.
Even though Gu Jiaojiao became unreasonable later, he still liked her. A few days ago, he learned that Gu Jiaojiao was his cousin.
This made him even more excited. She was just his cousin, and he could openly protect and care for her.
Dong Qiming and Gu Jiaojiao are classmates, and he has been waiting for Gu Jiaojiao to go to school.
From now on, he can protect her openly.
Dong Yuanyuan: ...
The versatile member of the art troupe was speechless for a moment after being rebuked by his nephew.
Yes, there is nothing wrong with what Dong Qiming said. What's wrong with him liking his cousin? He didn't say he wanted to marry her.
"I'm going to find Brother Shuoci now." After saying this, Dong Yuanyuan didn't even share the gifts and ran out.
Mr. Dong knew that his youngest daughter had done many inappropriate things. Although he knew it was wrong, he still protected her.
Who told him that Dong Yuanyuan was the daughter he had in his old age? His eldest daughter and sons are not close to him.
In the past, he was busy fighting and had no time to take care of his children. By the time he was free, the children had grown up and no longer needed him.
When his youngest daughter was born, he had already settled down and occasionally had time to play with her, so he favored her a lot.
He raised his eyelids and glanced at Dong Yuanyuan's back without saying anything. He had spoiled this little girl too much and she would not turn back until she hit the wall.

In the afternoon, Grandpa Sheng saw his second grandson causing trouble for Jiaojiao, so he was waiting for his eldest son to get off work to remind him.
"Liangyuan, you should also properly discipline your children, don't you know..."
Old Master Sheng chattered on and on, telling his eldest son what he had seen and heard in the afternoon.
"Dad, you have a weak heart, so don't worry. Jiaojiao has Shuoci's protection, so she won't suffer any loss."
"That's true. When Shuo Ci was first injured, he refused to go out and see anyone. Now he smiles whenever he sees anyone. It's obvious that he likes Jiaojiao very much."
"Dad, of my four children, the eldest Shi Jing and the youngest Jiao Jiao were both raised by you personally. They are both good children. I am ashamed that I failed to educate the second and third children well."
"It's not your fault. You were too busy with work at the time to take care of them. Besides, a child's genetics are very important.
Our Sheng family has a bloodline of rough men, and Jiaojiao's grandfather is a professor at the Imperial University. It's good for a noble bloodline to not be taught."
Father Sheng: ...
Is this his biological father?
Seeing that Sheng's mother had returned, Mr. Sheng ended the conversation and wanted to go back to his second son's house for dinner.
He was stopped by Sheng Lao San who just walked in, "Grandpa, please have dinner at our house. Second Uncle is already having dinner at this time."
