Qu Xiaoxiao had been watching TV just now. When she saw her mother coming back, her expression was obviously not right, so she asked with concern:
"Mom, what's wrong with you? You don't look good. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Xu Li burst into tears when she heard this, hugged her daughter, and said very sadly:
"Xiao Xiao, you must give your mother credit. She will be pointing her finger at you all her life. I am obviously your father's married wife. It has been almost 20 years, but grandma You won't let me come to the house!"
"It's okay if she doesn't like me, and I don't care, but she doesn't even recognize you. Your surname is Qu, and you are the granddaughter of their Qu family. It's so hard for us two!"
When Qu Xiaoxiao heard her mother's incoherent words, she didn't react for a while. It wasn't until she remembered that the Chinese New Year would be tomorrow that she realized why her mother was so sad.
He put his arms around his mother's back and comforted her softly:
"Mom, don't worry, you still have me. I will definitely support you in the future and make anyone who looks down on you regret it!"
Qu Datou also heard the sound and came over. Seeing this scene, he said helplessly:
"Okay, why is this Chinese New Year girl still crying? The old lady is like that. You don't know how many years have passed, so why do you care about this!"
Qu Xiaoxiao wanted to complain to her mother, so she let go of her hand and turned to look at her father, saying angrily:
"Dad, my mother is so sad. What are you talking about? Besides, my grandma is going too far. Why don't you let my mother go back to her hometown after all these years? She is the wife you are marrying!"
"You and that Qu Lianjie are obviously divorced, why does my grandma still let her live in her hometown, and every year..."
"Okay, Xiaoxiao, please stop saying a few words. Children should stop interfering in adult matters!" Seeing that her daughter was getting more and more wrong, Xu Li directly reprimanded her.
Although she agreed with her daughter's statement in her heart, she had noticed the change in her husband's expression. Xu Li knew that her husband was a filial son.
Moreover, what my daughter said just now was indeed treasonous. No matter what the old man did was right or wrong, it was not her granddaughter’s turn to blame!
Qu Datou here was originally a little angry at his daughter's words, but when he heard that his wife had already scolded her, he restrained himself from getting angry.
Besides, he also felt in his heart that he really owed his wife these years, but there was really nothing he could do about his mother. She always felt that it was his wife Xu Li who had interfered in his marriage with his ex-wife.
Therefore, he has always had a bad attitude towards his wife, and he is even a little angry at his daughter Qu Xiaoxiao. He is also very embarrassed when he has his mother who raised him on one side and his wife and daughter on the other.
Qu Datou sighed when he thought of this, sat next to his wife, held her hand and comforted her softly:
"Old Xu, I know you have been wronged. My mother has such a bad temper. She is a country woman with little knowledge and doesn't even know a few words. Why should you care about her~"
"Haven't you been here like this for so many years? Just bear with it any longer, just think it's for me~"
What else could Xu Li say? Anything else would sound stingy. Although she felt aggrieved, she could only pretend to be very generous and said:
"I know all this, and I have become accustomed to it over the years. I just feel aggrieved for my daughter Xiaoxiao. It doesn't matter if the old man won't let me go. No matter what, Xiaoxiao is still her granddaughter~"
When Qu Datou heard what his wife said, he turned around and saw his daughter. Seeing that she was pouting in anger, he reached out and touched her little head, and said with some distress:
"Oh, my good daughter, Dad also knows that you have been wronged, but your grandma is the elder after all, so we still have to let her go!"
"Your brother and I will be back in two days. You can stay with your mother at home. Whatever New Year gift you want, dad will give it to you!"
Qu Xiaoxiao also knew that she could not change this situation at all. She was just complaining about her mother. Now when she heard her father say this, she directly stretched out her little hand and said angrily:
"I'm an adult too and I want a car, and it can't be worse than Qu Lianjie's Ferrari!"
Qu Datou has made a lot of money in the building materials business in the past two years. When he heard his daughter's request, he nodded and agreed without even thinking, and said with a doting look on his face:
"Okay, dad promised you that as long as you pass the driving license test, I will buy you a car, and it will definitely be more expensive than your brother's car, okay?"
…
Qu Lianjie is also calling his hometown to wish him a happy new year:
"Grandma, Mom, happy New Year. We will go back tomorrow. If there is anything missing at home, I will take it over directly!"
Qu Lianjie's mother, Zheng Fen, was very happy when she heard that she would see her son tomorrow. She told her on the phone:
"You don't need to buy anything. All the New Year's goods at home are ready. You and your dad should drive slower tomorrow and be sure to pay attention to safety!"
"I know, Mom, please give the phone to my grandma. I miss her so much!" Qu Lianjie chatted with his grandma for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After that, I felt that time was almost up, so I went straight downstairs and drove back to Qu's house. My hands were not empty, so I bought a few gifts in a nearby supermarket.
After parking the car and walking into the house, Qu Lianjie handed the things he was holding to Xu Li, who was busy in the kitchen, and said very politely:
"Happy New Year, Aunt Xu, I brought you some supplements!"
Xu Li also did a good job on the surface. She wiped the water on her apron and then accepted the gift with a smile on her face:
"What are you kidding for when you go back to your own house? We don't lack anything at home. Take it back and eat it yourself when you leave!"
Qu Lianjie smiled at him, then came to the living room and said hello to Qu Datou and his daughter who were sitting on the sofa:
"Dad, happy New Year Xiaoxiao!"
"Hey~" Qu Datou responded happily.
Qu Xiaoxiao was still a little bit worried about what happened just now, so she didn't look good when she saw Qu Lianjie:
"Hmm~"
Qu Lianjie didn't pay attention. He walked over and sat next to his father, smiling and chatting with him about household matters:
"Dad, I just called grandma. She asked you to drive slower when you go back tomorrow. She also said that she has prepared your favorite crystal hawthorn cake for you!"
Qu Datou is a filial son. Hearing this, a smile immediately appeared on his face:
"Your grandma just can't stop and has to make it by herself every time. In fact, you can buy these things with money, but she always says that the things she buys don't taste good~"
"Tch~" Qu Xiaoxiao showed a disdainful expression on the side.
Qu Xiaoxiao also complained a lot about this grandma who had always disliked her and her mother. Her mother was obviously married to the Qu family by Ming Media, but why did she seem to be shameful.
And after so many years, they were not even allowed to return to their hometown during the Chinese New Year. When Qu Xiaoxiao saw the father and son chatting and laughing over there, she became angrier and angrier. However, because she had just been taught a lesson by Qu Lianjie some time ago, she did not dare to say anything. What's too much?
Qu Datou also noticed that his daughter had not spoken and said to her with some displeasure:
"Xiao Xiao, why didn't you reply to your brother's New Year greetings to you just now? Isn't this too rude!"
When Qu Xiaoxiao heard this, a very fake smile appeared on her face:
"Happy New Year, brother~"
After finishing speaking, his expression immediately changed and he said impatiently:
"It's okay this time~"
Qu Datou was helpless at all:
"This kid is really spoiled!"
