At this moment, Granny Tian had only one thought in her mind: she had to get her two granddaughters back! This was not only because she wanted to control Xiao Xuemei, but also because she wanted to leave a way out for her son.
She knew that without her granddaughters, her son would be left isolated and helpless.
What terrified her even more was her fear that she too would meet with misfortune and die a violent death, just like her husband.
If that were to happen, her son would be completely alone, losing all support and reliance.
This fear haunted Granny Tian, making her determined to protect her son no matter what, at any cost.
"Xuemei, you really need to think this through! If you, a woman, go back to your parents' home with two daughters, your family will definitely not accept you!" Granny Tian looked at Xiao Xuemei with a worried expression, her tone full of sarcasm.
Xiao Xuemei's heart tightened; she knew Granny Tian was right. Although her parents had separated their households, they still had a domineering old lady.
Now that she has returned home with her two daughters after the divorce, she will likely face even more neglect and disdain.
Seeing that Xiao Xuemei remained silent, Granny Tian continued, "As far as I know, the person in charge of your Xiao family is your grandmother. She has always favored your second uncle's family. If you take the children back to your parents' home, it will only bring trouble to your parents."
Xiao Xuemei's eyes gradually welled up with tears. She recalled how she had been neglected by her grandmother when she was a child, and a pang of pain shot through her heart. She couldn't let her daughters suffer like that again; she had to protect them.
Seeing that Granny Tian was getting more and more excited, Shen Yunsheng interrupted her coldly, "Old lady, you can shut up now. It's none of your business to worry about our family's affairs. Just mind your own business."
Granny Tian was so angry that her face turned red. She felt that it was all Shen Yunsheng's fault that they had become like this.
“Jingchuan’s family, I know you are kind-hearted and genuinely love the Xiaoyu sisters, but... they can’t live without their father and mother.”
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "Old lady, stop flattering your son. If he were truly a responsible man, my eldest sister wouldn't have divorced him."
Xiaoyu and Ayao huddled close to Shen Yunsheng. Neither of them wanted to go back to the Meng family. Ever since they could remember, their father had never given them a kind look.
Not to mention earning money to support them.
"Grandma, I can take good care of Xiaoyu and Ayao, so you don't need to worry anymore." Shen Yunsheng patted Xiaoyu and Ayao's heads.
"Moreover, from the moment your son chose to give up custody, it means that he has given up his responsibility as a father."
Granny Tian wanted to say something more, but Xiao Xuemei interrupted her.
"Grandma, you don't need to say anything more. I've made up my mind. I'll raise the child myself. You don't need to worry about it." Xiao Xuemei's eyes were firm, without the slightest hesitation.
Seeing this, Granny Tian could only sigh, "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more. But what will you do after that?"
"I will support myself and my children through my own efforts." Xiao Xuemei raised her head slightly. "I believe that as long as I am willing to work hard, I will definitely be able to live a happy life."
Shen Yunsheng nodded. "Big sister, I support you. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just tell me, and I will do my best to help."
Xiao Xuemei looked at Shen Yunsheng gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Upon hearing this, Granny Tian immediately guessed that it was Granny Yang who had arrived. She was secretly delighted, feeling that the play could finally begin.
"Xuemei! I sincerely hope you can stay. Raising children is not as simple as you think. You not only have to support them, but also prepare dowries for them."
Shen Yunsheng sneered coldly, "Old lady, don't waste your time. No matter how eloquently you speak, my eldest sister won't stay."
Mrs. Tian: "..."
Just as the atmosphere became tense, Granny Yang arrived, accompanied by Qiu Shi and Xiao Zhenzhu.
When she saw the scene inside the house, Granny Yang was stunned for a moment.
She had expected Xiao Xuemei to cry and whine, but she was surprised by her resolute attitude.
With a smile on her face, Granny Yang took Xiao Xuemei's hand and earnestly advised her, "Xuemei, please don't do anything foolish. How can a woman like you raise two children? Listen to your grandmother's advice, stay in the Meng family and live a good life."
Xiao Xuemei shook her head. "Grandma, I've made up my mind. I'm going to work hard to give the children a good life."
Granny Yang's expression changed. "Why are you so stubborn, child? Are you trying to drive me to my death?"
Shen Yunsheng couldn't help but interject, "Grandma, why are you doing this? My eldest sister and Meng Xin have already divorced, so please stop bothering her."
Granny Yang glared at Shen Yunsheng. "I'm doing this for Xuemei's own good. How will she manage with two children all by herself?"
Xiao Xuemei said firmly, "No matter how hard life gets, I will persevere. I believe that as long as I work hard, things will definitely get better and better."
Granny Yang snorted impatiently, "There are too many people in this world who work harder than you. You can't even support yourself, yet you want to raise a child. If you ask me, you should stay in the Meng family and live a good life with Ah Xin."
Granny Tian was secretly pleased. With Granny Yang's help, she could at least get one of her granddaughters back.
Shen Yunsheng: [So what if you have that old, vicious woman? As long as my eldest sister doesn't agree, even if the Heavenly King himself comes, it won't matter.]
Granny Tian looked at Xiao Xuemei triumphantly, "Xuemei, as long as you agree to remarry, you will be in charge of this family! We will follow your arrangements in everything, and I will wholeheartedly help you take care of the children."
Her voice carried a hint of earnestness, as if she were promising Xiao Xuemei a fresh start.
Xiao Xuemei looked quietly at Granny Tian, a complex emotion welling up inside her. She knew that this decision not only concerned herself, but also the future of her children.
Grandma Tian continued, "The mistakes of the past have taught me a lot. Now I just want to give my children a complete family, so they can feel real warmth and love. Xuemei, believe me, this time my son and I will definitely treat you well."
Shen Yunsheng knew that if her sister-in-law impulsively agreed to Granny Tian's request, then more trouble would likely come knocking on her door in the future.
"Big sister! Don't listen to their nonsense. As long as I'm here, I won't let Xiaoyu and Ayao go hungry. Just come back to my parents' home with me in peace."
Shen Yunsheng was about to leave with his two children when Granny Yang blocked their way.
"Jingchuan's family, you can leave, but leave the child behind."
