Chapter 614:1 Can’t Live This Life Anymore
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Grandma, she’s only ten years old this year. Just because she had a younger brother, did she have to be like an adult and tolerate everything?”
“Ji Yuanyuan, don’t be rude,” Li Xu whispered. “How can you talk to Grandma and Aunt like that?”
The adults were too polite, so they didn’t say many things.
The only one who was injured was Li Xiang.
Then today, she would ultimately be an ‘impolite’ child and help Xiangxiang Beila take the lead.
“Eldest Aunt, Xiaojie and Xiangxiang are both your children and our family isn’t poor. Why can’t we be fair? If he wanted one, you should buy one for him, not s.n.a.t.c.h it away from Xiangxiang.”
If it was a poor family, Ji Yuanyuan could probably understand.
After all, the family’s resources were limited. If they had a daughter, their son would be gone.
However, their family was not short of money. How much could they spend to buy two identical toys? Even if Meng Xiaoning’s feelings for Xiangxiang and Li Jie differed, why couldn’t she put enough effort on the surface?
Meng Xiaoning’s expression was a little ugly. She hugged Li Jie and didn’t say anything.
“Don’t think children are insensible and can’t remember things. Some injuries can be remembered for a lifetime. Some people’s childhoods needed to be healed for a lifetime. Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, you don’t want to become such a person, do you?”
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, she knew her words were unpleasant and quickly apologized, “Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, I was insensible today. I didn’t say it nice. Don’t lower yourself to my level.”
When Ji Yuanyuan said this, Meng Xiaoning naturally felt embarra.s.sed to say anything.
She carried Li Jie and whispered, “I’ll bring him to buy another set.”
After the mother and son left, Li Xu looked at Ji Yuanyuan coldly, “Ji Yuanyuan, who taught you to talk to your elders like that?”
There were some things that could be said by anyone but Ji Yuanyuan, a junior.
Qin Xiaomin saw this and quickly went forward to hold Ji Yuanyuan’s hand, “Big Sister, don’t you talk about Yuanyuan. If you ask me, that’s a good thing. Other than Yuanyuan, who else would have the cheek to tell Sister-in-law?”
With that, Qin Xiaomin pulled Ji Yuanyuan into the house, “Yuanyuan, you’re here. Second Aunt has something to say to you.”
As she spoke, she pulled Ji Yuanyuan to a house in the north.
That room was the room that Qin Xiaomin and Li Yong slept in when they occasionally went home.
With Meng Xiaoning and Ji Yuanyuan gone, the people present could not say anything else.
The remaining people returned to the dining table and continued eating.
Li Xiang and Li Nian were left in Ji Zi’ang’s care.
In the room, Qin Xiaomin praised Ji Yuanyuan in a low voice, “Don’t put your mother’s words in your heart, you say those words, in fact, I have long wanted to say, just afraid to say, your Eldest Aunt is angry.”
To be honest, she often helped Li Xiang buy clothes, not to build a good relationship with her brother’s family or to make Li Xiang and Li Nian closer.
She didn’t have such complicated thoughts. She just felt sorry for Li Xiang.
She often couldn’t understand Meng Xiaoning’s thoughts. If she had a daughter, she would definitely pamper her.
How could she be like Meng Xiaoning, who did not care about her daughter?
Ji Yuanyuan said in a low voice, “I don’t regret what I said just now. I hope it will be able to move Eldest Aunt.”
At the dining table outside, Li Xu couldn’t eat anymore after eating two mouthfuls.
She put down her chopsticks and went to find Qin Xiaomin and Ji Yuanyuan.
Ji Yuanyuan had been discussing Li Nian’s situation in school with Qin Xiaomin and was smiling happily.
Seeing Li Xu come in, she shrank her neck in fear.
Li Xu laughed, “Alright, stop pretending. Even if I’m really angry, what can I do to you?”
Ever since she was young, she had never touched Yuanyuan’s finger.
She had never hit the other two of the three children except for Ji Zi’ang.
Ji Yuanyuan chuckled and understood the meaning behind Li Xu’s words, “That means you’re not really angry?”
Li Xu sighed and sat down beside Ji Yuanyuan. She asked Qin Xiaomin in a low voice, “Have your Big Brother and our mother always been like this?”
“As far as I know, yes.” Qin Xiaomin nodded.
She usually went to work, and after work, she stayed at her mother’s or their wedding house.
She didn’t come back much, only on Sat.u.r.days and weekends.
Anyways, when she was around, the Eldest Ssister-in-law would always side with Li Jie if the two children had any conflict.
When Eldest Brother and their parents saw this, they also advised her to be more sensible and not lower herself to her younger brother’s level.
Li Xu thought for a moment and said in a low voice, “This can’t go on…”
Qin Xiaomin also said, “Who says so? But Father and Mother don’t care. As younger brothers and sisters-in-law, we can’t say anything.”
The only thing they could do was to treat each other better.
Li Xu said thoughtfully, “Alright, it’s not easy for you to manage this matter. I’ll manage it. Anyway, I’m a married daughter. At most, I’ll just become homeless in the future.”
They only came back during the holidays. Even if Meng Xiaoning were angry with her, it would not be awkward if they did not meet.
After saying that, Li Xu stood up and left.
Meng Xiaoning probably brought Li Jie home and hadn’t returned until now.
Li Xu called Li Lei out for a chat.
At the entrance, the two of them stood in a sheltered place.
Li Lei looked even more depressed than a few years ago. He lowered his head and said, “Sis, I know what you want to say. I’ll tell her when we get back.”
Li Xu frowned, “What’s the use of talking about it? I warned you four years ago when Li Jie was just born. Now that four years have pa.s.sed, nothing has changed. You have to solve the problem from the source. Although there’s nothing wrong with a man listening to his wife, there are some problems that you can’t just let go.”
Li Lei nodded and agreed.
Li Xu added, “Alright then, you two, husband and wife should discuss this problem. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll talk to Xiaoning.”
Hearing this, Li Lei’s expression finally changed. He quickly said, “I’ll talk to her, I’ll talk.”
After saying that, he did not wait for Li Xu to speak again. He gathered his clothes and turned around to leave, “I’m going to go now.”
Meng Xiaoning hadn’t been back for such a long time, so she probably went home.
Therefore, Li Lei went straight home.
The door of the house was ajar, so Li Lei entered quietly.
She was thinking about how to tell Meng Xiaoning about this later.
After all, this wasn’t the first time the couple had talked about this.
However, Meng Xiaoning never felt she had done anything wrong.
In her heart, the older one should give way to the younger one, and the older sister should give way to the younger brother.
He quietly walked to the door of the living room. Just as he was about to push the door open, he heard Meng Xiaoning sobbing, “Mother, I can’t live these days. Even his niece can say a few words to me…”
Li Lei stopped in his tracks and his ears p.r.i.c.ked up subconsciously..
