Chapter 225: Chapter 225: Nothing Is Good
Yuan Pandi spoke very straightforwardly.
When Mrs. Li heard him say this, she, who had just been grumbling, suddenly wore a wronged expression as if she was about to cry.
"Husband, how can you be so heartless?"
"Isn’t the eldest your son?"
"How can you be so cold-hearted?"
Yuan Pandi snorted and said, "Isn’t it because you forced me to be this cold-hearted?"
How could Yuan Pandi not have any thoughts about the matter of his eldest son? Back then, he had talked about it and even fought about it, but did it have any effect?
Upon hearing Yuan Pandi’s words, Mrs. Li immediately fell silent.
"Husband, I truly know my mistakes!"
"In this life, who can guarantee not to make mistakes?"
"When you make a mistake, you correct it!"
Yuan Pandi glanced at his own wife and said, "Just saying you’ve made a mistake isn’t enough!"
"Originally, I was thinking of bringing the eldest back before the start of spring this year, but now, let’s wait a bit longer!"
When Mrs. Li heard Yuan Pandi say this, her face became even more unpleasant.
Obviously, her man was punishing her too!
But what could Mrs. Li say? Even if she could speak, she wouldn’t dare to say anything at this moment, fearing she might accidentally say something wrong and make her husband delay this matter even further.
"Shougui, it’s your mother who wronged you!"
Mrs. Li could only repent in her heart.
...
Compared to Mrs. Li and Yuan Pandi, who could at least talk openly, things were not so optimistic between Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li.
No matter what Yuan Zhaodi said, Mrs. Xiao Li would just agree absent-mindedly, but any discerning person could see that Mrs. Xiao Li was not sincere.
In other words, Mrs. Xiao Li still didn’t think she had done anything wrong.
Yuan Zhaodi looked at his wife, who was as stubborn as ever, and his head was really aching. He had said what needed to be said, and even said what shouldn’t be said, yet she just continued doing things her own way, with no intention to change.
"What exactly do you want?"
Yuan Zhaodi’s patience was nearly exhausted, "Why won’t you listen to reason?"
"Jiaojiao is your daughter. If she’s doing well, how does it even affect you?"
"Do you really have to target her like this?"
"If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’m telling you, we might as well end this!"
"Tomorrow, I’ll send you back to your parents’ home!"
"No matter the distance, I’ll send you back!"
People have tempers after all.
And Yuan Zhaodi certainly had one too.
Previously, he was confused, thinking if he stepped back and tolerated, the family would be fine. But things didn’t turn out as he imagined at all.
"You also know she is my daughter, I just said a couple of things to her, yet she didn’t miss a meal or a piece of clothing, and she actually ran away from home!"
"Does she even see me as her mother?"
"You all think it’s my fault, why?"
"Moreover, I was a young girl at one point too, and everything I do is for her own good!"
"It’s the sons who will support us in old age in the future."
"But in this family, why should a girl, who is destined to marry out, always be prioritized over Shouhu?"
"Yuan Laosi, you tell me, why is that?"
Mrs. Xiao Li also had her grievances.
"In the past, it was my parents-in-law who were in charge, and as a daughter-in-law, I had no say and couldn’t go against them. But now that we’ve split the family, can’t I, as a mother, decide how to discipline my children?"
"You all say that dead girl is the family’s little lucky charm!"
"Just because of some fortune teller’s words, you all believe it?"
"Don’t forget, it was me, I gave birth to her!"
"At that time, I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"
"Shouhu and that dead girl were born at the same time, why is it assumed that all the luck is brought by that girl? Why can’t it be our son who brings it?"
