Yu Ziyu drove her second son to the capital to meet the Li family.
Seeing her mother-in-law, she pushed her second son with red eyes: "Quickly congratulate Grandma."
Li Sipei stared at his grandmother, who had her arms wide open, for a long time before taking small steps and pouncing to his grandmother's lap:
"Grandma, you're better, can I go home now?"
Yu Ziyu held her forehead. Her second son's mouth never said what she taught him.
Tian Jing nodded: "Of course, the Li family will always be Sipei's home."
Li Sipei turned his head to look at his mother: "Mom, Grandma said the Li family is my home."
Yu Ziyu sighed. Both sons liked to go back to the Li family. Even though they spent more time in North Province than in Kushan, they still missed Kushan:
"This time we'll go back to Kushan with Grandma for New Year's."
"No."
Li Sipei shook his little head: "I want to stay."
"Okay."
Before Yu Ziyu could speak, Tian Jing agreed: "Stay with Grandma and play with your brother Sirui."
"Okay, okay."
Li Sipei clapped his hands happily. He loved playing with Sirui the most.
...
After dinner, Li Weiyu returned to the top floor of Jingyuan Company. Seeing Tian Jing, he was also very excited: "Auntie, it's good that you're here."
"Good my ass!"
Ouyang Meihua glared at her son: "I'm telling you, your Auntie isn't here to give you face, nor does she intend to give the Sun family any pleasantries."
"If the Sun family wants to take advantage of this opportunity to pressure us, I'll immediately tell them to return the betrothal gifts and call it quits."
Li Weiyu was stunned, then nodded: "Okay, if an unwarranted situation arises, we will not compromise."
Ouyang Meihua looked deeply at her younger son: "This includes you. It's because of your performance that the Sun family dares to do this."
"I know."
Li Weiyu nodded: "Give face when it's due, and not when it's not."
Ouyang Meihua was relieved: "Have you found the groomsmen?"
Li Weiyu smiled: "Six, all colleagues from the company."
Ouyang Meihua was very satisfied: "You should bring more groomsmen. It's almost time for the wedding procession. If they don't open the door, we'll break it down and snatch them."
...
This time, Ouyang Meihua paid for the Li family's formal wear again.
The children had all grown up, and when they put on their formal attire, they were all handsome and beautiful.
Zhou Yufei stared at Li Sixuan's long-sleeved winter princess dress: "Sister Xuanxuan, can we switch?"
"No!"
Li Sixuan refused. Grandma said that if you should refuse, refuse; if you should fight for it, fight for it.
Tears immediately welled up in Zhou Yufei's eyes. She turned to find her maternal grandmother: "Grandma, I want Sister Xuanxuan's dress."
Ouyang Meihua frowned. She disliked this granddaughter immensely:
"Every dress is beautiful. It's the person who can't carry it off, not a change of clothes that will solve the problem."
"You chose the dress you're wearing before trying it on. What's the reason for snatching someone else's clothes now?"
"If this is how the Zhou family is taught, then don't come back to Grandma's house, and don't come out with Grandma anymore, otherwise, I won't be able to resist slapping you."
Zhou Yufei quickly stepped back. She was very afraid of her grandmother, but she really liked the dress on Sister Xuanxuan.
Zhou Yulin supported his sister: "Grandma, since it's a person's problem, it means Xuanxuan looks good in any dress. What's wrong with switching?"
Ouyang Meihua's brow furrowed even tighter. She shouldn't have brought these siblings out.
Ji Xiang stepped forward: "Brother Yulin, ugliness and incompetence are innate. How can you ask beautiful and capable people to fawn over fools?"
"Why does Yufei always fight for Xuanxuan's things? Is it just because Xuanxuan is older than her? Then you are older than all four of us brothers, why don't you let us have things?"
"You always jump out when Yufei fights for Xuanxuan's things. Do you think you're hiding it well and no one knows?"
"I don't understand what you're saying."
Zhou Yulin took his sister a step back: "Aren't you just bullying the few with the many? This money for clothes was paid by my grandma."
"Zhou Yulin!"
Ouyang Meihua pointed at her grandson and roared: "How have you become like this?"
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry over a small matter."
Tian Jing shook her head at Ouyang Meihua, then beckoned to Zhou Yulin and his sister: "You two come here, great-aunt has something to ask you."
In Zhou Yulin's heart, he had always feared his great-aunt. He wouldn't have dared to come out with his great-aunt without his family accompanying him if his sister hadn't insisted on coming.
"Come here."
Tian Jing gently beckoned to Zhou Yulin and his sister again, but her tone was irrefutable.
Zhou Yulin pulled his sister to his great-aunt: "Great-aunt."
Tian Jing looked at the young man in front of her. In the blink of an eye, the children had grown up, and they were already forming factions:
"Yufei, who is your mother?"
Zhou Yulin was stunned, but still honestly replied: "Xiaomai."
"What is her surname?"
"Li."
"What is Xuanxuan's surname?"
"Li."
"What is the surname of Jiqing and Jixiang's grandmother?"
"Li."
"Are these people surnamed Li related?"
"Yes."
A smile appeared on Tian Jing's face: "Then how can there be a situation of you bullying the few with the many?"
"Or is it that you have always considered yourself a Zhou family member and never considered the people surnamed Li as your family?"
Zhou Yulin remained silent.
Tian Jing shook her head faintly: "If you dislike your mother's maiden family, then don't keep saying Ouyang Meihua is your grandmother."
"If you don't dislike your mother's maiden family, then anyone in the Li family is your relative."
"You protect Yufei and target Xuanxuan, I noticed it years ago. As for the reason, I also know."
"But I'm telling you, no one has the right to choose their parents, and even less can they think that other people's parents are good and want to snatch or replace them."
"Your Aunt Han will always be Xuanxuan's father, and no one can take him away. Anything that belongs to Xuanxuan, Yufei is not allowed to snatch anymore. We have already given the Zhou family enough face."
"Is this sentence very heavy? Because it is your attitude that has separated the Zhou family and the Li family."
"Before, we always treated you as Li family members. We never said anything about your squabbles and quarrels, but it doesn't mean we should tolerate it forever."
"Xuanxuan is my granddaughter, her surname is Li, and everything she has is given willingly by us Li family members."
"Your grandmother, and her husband your grandfather, also have the surname Li. What's wrong with her spending money on the Li family?"
Zhou Yulin suddenly looked up. How did his great-aunt know his thoughts?
Tian Jing saw his confusion on his face but did not tell him: "Yulin, jealousy and squabbling are not behaviors for a man. If you want to attract your Aunt Han's attention, you should make yourself more excellent."
Zhou Yulin was stunned for a long time before nodding: "I understand, thank you, Great-aunt."
Tian Jing smiled faintly: "You're welcome."
Let's hope he truly understood.
The matter of Zhou Yufei wanting Li Sixuan to change clothes ended like this, but everyone felt a bit choked up in their hearts.
...
On the evening of the fifteenth of the twelfth lunar month, the Li family went to Li Weiyu's new house to take a look.
The 90-square-meter apartment felt very crowded when the Li family entered.
Ouyang Meihua picked up the three-year-old Li Sirui and rolled on the new bed, earning a black eye from her younger son.
Ouyang Meihua was displeased: "From ancient times to the present, it's always the boys who roll on the bed."
Li Weiyu thought, "Who is it that keeps talking about wanting a granddaughter as beautiful, delicate, and sensible as Xuanxuan?"
The Li family left, leaving Si Ji to accompany Li Weiyu, the groom, to sleep in the bridal chamber.
Early in the morning of the sixteenth of the twelfth lunar month, the Li family all went to Li Weiyu's new house again.
Li Weiyu, along with the groomsmen and the wedding procession, took the small car convoy rented from the wedding company to the Sun family.
The wedding procession consisted entirely of young boys: Zhou Yulin, Chen Jiqing, Chen Jixiang, who were 13 years old, Chen Jinian, Chen Jiyang, who were 10 years old, and Li Siji, who was 9 years old.
The only elder in the wedding procession was Li Min.
When the Sun family saw this wedding procession, their faces were not very good. How much did they look down on their Sun family, to send children to welcome the bride?
Li Min got out of the car with a calm expression: "What? You're standing here without moving, does that mean you don't welcome us?"
The Sun family paused for a moment, then parted their bodies and gestured for the children: "Please come in."
"Hmph!"
Li Min snorted lightly: "In a few years, they'll all be young men, and they won't even come when you invite them then."
The Sun family suppressed their anger and continued to lead them into the Sun family home.
The Sun family home was a three-and-a-half-story villa, with a front yard of eight or nine hundred square meters. A stone path led to the villa entrance, with a swimming pool on one side and lush green lawn on the other.
Li Min walked alongside the Sun family towards the villa without looking sideways.
She had seen her sister-in-law's villa area more than once. The Sun family's small display of luxury was not worth mentioning.
However, the children couldn't contain their curiosity and looked around.
"Ahem!"
Li Min coughed heavily.
Ji Xiang tugged at the brothers walking slowly beside him.
The children then remembered that they were here to welcome the bride today.
The groomsmen were also somewhat restrained. They didn't expect the Sun family to be so well-off?
Why was Sun Baoyun still working at Jingyuan Company?
Li Weiyu quickened his pace, and the groomsmen hurried to catch up.
