Alas, no matter when, it is still her daughter San Ya who can discuss things. Li was so happy but didn't know where to start, so she simply coaxed her daughter to lie down first.

Row.

Zhou Banxia obeyed.

Good support.

Is this okay now?
Li glanced at the window and the door.

"No one is here. Normally, there would be no chance for someone to sneak in and eavesdrop on us, let alone when you came and we were the only ones in the room.

Without my instructions, Mai Huang knew not to let anyone approach the upper room, and Mai Dong would also be in the sewing room in the wing diagonally opposite, watching to see if anyone approached here.

There are also maids guarding the hanging flower gate opposite, and Mai Qing is behind them. Even if the four big maids have to leave for something urgent, there are still Aunt Chang and the other three.

There is no place like here where you can talk quietly. Just go ahead and talk. I guarantee that even the maid outside the hall opening the curtains won’t hear you. So feel free to speak.”

Li thought her third daughter was talking about something, and thought she was afraid of being heard.

How could she not know that she and her daughter were the only ones in the house every time? Not to mention living here, even if they lived in the village, if someone came close to the west wing, the maids would have reminded them smartly long ago.

Is she worried about this?
Instead, "Did Mom disturb your nap?" I almost forgot that nothing could be more important than the child's health!
"will not."

"Really?"

Zhou Banxia laughed and pointed at his eyes, "Look, I'm in good spirits. I sleep soundly at night. It doesn't really matter whether I sleep during the day or not."

Li looked at her daughter's face. It was rosy and her eyes did not look sleepy. For a moment, she could not tell whether her daughter was coaxing her or not.

In order to let my daughter close her eyes earlier, I should tell her earlier, but what should I say? Oh, what a sin. After thinking about it, Li reached out and touched her neck.

"San Ya, no matter what, our family has already severed ties with your grandparents. For the sake of you and your siblings, we can't sever ties with your grandparents anymore.

Some things are hard to say but if they get out, not only your grandparents, but also your grandparents and outsiders will say that the blood running in your veins is bad.

Your father doesn't want your mother to care about your grandma's family. He even hopes that your mother will cut off all ties with your grandma's family. It's better not to mention some things to your father.

In your father's heart, he hates his own sister for not being faithful to her husband and bringing harm to you two sisters. What if he hears about what your grandfather did?
No matter if it's true or not, he will take it as true and go to your grandmother's house to vent his anger that night. Oh, mother said this, do you understand? You can't say it even if you want to die."

Seeing that Li, who had always been outspoken, suddenly had difficulty speaking, Zhou Banxia felt complicated. He lowered his eyes and nodded, but had to start coaxing his mother.

"I know what to say and what not to say. You are my biological mother, and we are a family. From now on, I will just ignore what outsiders say.

You can't rely on your parents in this life, let alone your brothers and nephews from your mother's side. Only when my father and my four sisters and brothers are good, you will be good. Since ancient times, "a wife is honored by her husband, and a mother is honored by her son." Is it only when the husband and son become officials that they can earn the title of a consort for their mother and wife?
Have you ever heard of a married girl whose brothers and nephews became officials, and they did not ask for the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine to be given to their own mother and wife, but instead asked for the title of Lady of Imperial Concubine to be given to a married sister or aunt?
As the saying goes, 'You can't stick dog meat on sheep'. Let's not talk about the distant things, let's talk about the nearby things. Look at my father-in-law. Does his eldest nephew Gu Dalang miss him?

This is my eldest nephew who has the same surname. You are even more distant from your nephew from your mother's side. You don't have the same surname. No matter how glorious he is, what does opening an ancestral hall to worship ancestors have to do with you, a married woman?
But now it's Dajiang's turn, your own son. Think again about the scholar in Dajiang. Who wouldn't envy you for having a good son? Isn't it a great honor?

This is just like my eldest sister and your niece from her mother's side. If you quarrel with your aunt, will my eldest sister protect you first regardless of whether you are right or not?
Think about it again, when you and your aunt were having a disagreement, what about your nieces? Did they speak up for you in person? "

No.

Li shook his head.

"They all ran away very quickly, and those who were slower would just stand by to avoid offending each other, but their implication was that I, the older aunt, would not give way to their older aunt.

This was the case when our family was poor before, but now that our family is better off, your eldest cousin once stood on my side, but now she can’t take advantage of me anymore, and it’s back to the old ways.”

"That's it." Zhou Banxia was too lazy to talk about these things related to character, "Think about it again, who did grandpa and grandma leave the things for?
They have a lot of sons and grandchildren. If we don't want them to get close to us, just for food, will they put your two sons ahead of their grandchildren?"

will not.

She couldn't even bring herself to deny it.

It’s not that she thinks her son is so good. If the child’s grandparents were a little better when the child was young, her son would not be unwilling to go to his grandmother’s house.

Now, seeing that her children have become successful and her grandchildren are getting older, not only has her Dajiang become sensible, but even her Xiaohe can no longer be coaxed.

Seeing that Li fell silent for a moment, Zhou Banxia added fuel to the fire, "There are several uncles and aunts, think again about whether they are different from before?
I'm not very clear about how everyone treated you at your mother's house before I came back, and I didn't hear my father mention that he would go back to your mother's house without you.

But you can think carefully about how they treated you when you went back to your parents' home in these three different years: when my father found me, when my eldest sister got married, and when I came back.

Mom, you must be smart to have given birth to my siblings. You just don't like to think bad of people and believe the lies of grandpa and others that your mother's family is your support.

My siblings and I are all this age now. You should think about it yourself. What do they ask you to rely on? Every time you are held back by them and hurt by them.

Before the family business was separated, did my father secretly save every penny he could and give it to you? But why did he suddenly not dare to let you be the manager?

Even if you and my father don't tell me the reason, I can guess that it must be because when our family separated and lived separately, you were cheated of things by your mother's family.

My father is afraid of being poor, but he is not a mean person. He will save all the money because he wants to redeem me home as soon as possible.

But it’s not right that my father controls everything about food and daily necessities at home. No matter how frugal my father is, he is only saving for himself. He won’t even control how many eggs the hens lay.

You are not stupid, mother. My mother-in-law likes to associate with you. When you go out for social events, you get along well with those ladies in the city. How can you not manage the household?
It is your family that has frightened my father, and you are soft-hearted. If my father does not keep our family under control, your family will soon find out how much I have saved. Think about it again, what will happen?" (End of this chapter)
