Granny Yang's smile froze instantly, and her eyes turned sinister. If she helped Shen Yunsheng deal with her, how would she make money from this? Thinking of this, Granny Yang cursed inwardly.
Shen Yunsheng sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
That old hag has no sense of propriety or shame in her pursuit of money.
"Grandma! Let me make this clear from the start: if you dare to harm my elder sister and her two children, I will absolutely not let you off the hook," Shen Yunsheng warned coldly, staring at Granny Yang.
Upon hearing this, Granny Yang was startled, and her face turned pale.
She knew Shen Yunsheng was not someone to be trifled with, but she was unwilling to give up this business deal.
So, she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Don't worry, Jingchuan's family, I definitely won't help the Meng family bully our own people."
Shen Yunsheng glared at Granny Yang but remained silent. She knew perfectly well that this old woman would do anything for money. However, she had made up her mind that if Granny Yang dared to harm her elder sister and the children, she would make her pay the price.
Xiao Xuemei was secretly surprised. In her memory, her grandmother had always been a very strong woman who had never bowed down to anyone or shown weakness. However, today, she not only softened her stance towards her younger brother and sister-in-law but also apologized to her, which surprised and shocked Xiao Xuemei.
"Grandma, I've really had enough! I will never remarry Meng Xin in this lifetime. I haven't had a single good day since I married him. Every day, I not only have to take care of their family's food, clothing, and shelter, but I also have to work hard to earn money to support them. And what do they do? They take my sacrifices for granted and even beat me. I really can't stand this kind of life anymore."
Xiao Xuemei's voice was filled with deep weariness and despair, but her eyes were firm and resolute. She knew that this time, she had to fight for a better future for herself.
She turned to look at her younger brother and sister-in-law beside her, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't let you face these difficulties alone. If my family can't accept the three of us, then I'll go out and rent a place. Although life will be tough, at least I can live freely and won't suffer any more grievances or harm."
Shen Yunsheng understood her sister-in-law's feelings at that moment. She knew that a woman, no matter when or where, needed to have her own career and source of income. If her sister-in-law had a stable job and income, she wouldn't have to come back to her parents' home and be treated like dirt. Although her family welcomed her sister-in-law back, that old, vicious woman, Granny Yang, always spoke ill of her and found fault with her in every way.
She even wished that her sister-in-law would stay in the Meng family and let those people bully her.
When Shen Yunsheng saw his sister-in-law crying, he immediately stepped forward to support her and looked at Granny Yang with a meaningful gaze.
"Big sister, you don't need to go anywhere, just come home with me. Anyone who dares to stop you from going home is my enemy!"
Before Granny Yang could fully react, Xiao Jingchuan and his mother strode aggressively towards them from the opposite side.
"Grandma, don't forget, we've already separated our families. You have no right to stop my eldest sister from returning to the Xiao family." Xiao Jingchuan retorted without any politeness. Before he ordered the killing of Tian Mengshouyi, he had anticipated that Granny Tian would not let it go. In any case, they had already destroyed the evidence, so even if Granny Tian suspected that he was the one who did it, she could do nothing about it.
Qiu Shi and Xiao Zhenzhu were shocked by this scene. They never expected that Xiao Jingchuan would confront the old lady so forcefully as soon as he appeared.
As women themselves, they also hope that their own family members will stand up for them when they are bullied by their husband's family.
Granny Yang sighed inwardly, thinking that this brat was indeed a direct descendant of the Prince of Zhennan; he could suffocate her with just a few words.
“Husband, you’ve misunderstood the old lady. She wouldn’t stop my eldest sister from going home. In fact, she said she would help us deal with Granny Tian.” Shen Yunsheng gave her husband a gentle smile.
She had been away from home for many days and didn't know how the old man was doing. She didn't have time to deal with the old wicked woman.
Granny Yang forced a smile and looked at Xiao Jingchuan, "Yes! Chuan'er, how could I possibly help Granny Tian?"
Xiao Jingchuan snorted coldly, without answering. He turned his gaze to his sister and asked with concern, "Elder sister, did Granny Tian bully you?"
Xiao Xuemei gently shook her head, tears glistening in her eyes, "No, it's just..." She hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
Xiao Jingchuan understood his sister's thoughts. He patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Big sister, don't worry. With me here, I will never let you suffer any more grievances. From now on, you can live at home, and we will take care of each other as a family."
Hearing her brother's words, Xiao Xuemei was deeply moved. She held her brother's hand tightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Yunsheng quickly took Xiao Xuemei's hand and said softly, "Elder sister, don't cry. We're family, so there's no need for formalities. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell us. Right now, the most important thing is to think of a way to deal with Granny Tian so that she won't come to harass you every few days."
Grandma Yang casually chimed in, "Xuemei, actually your former mother-in-law's request was very simple. She just wanted a child to take care of her son in his old age and see him off when he died."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunsheng sneered and said, "If she wants a child, she should find someone else to have one! What right does she have to try and have a child with my eldest sister?"
Granny Yang muttered, "Isn't this her own granddaughter...?"
"That's not something she can do as she pleases!" Xiao Jingchuan interrupted Granny Yang angrily. "Eldest sister's child has the surname Xiao, not Meng!"
Xiao Xuemei looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law with gratitude, knowing that they genuinely cared about her.
