"Zian, Niuniu, you're here. Come in quickly." Jiang Ruolan is wearing a red turtleneck sweater, a plain shawl and light makeup on her face. Although she is in her fifties, thanks to the maintenance in recent years, she looks young and noble.
She greeted her son and granddaughter with a smile as if ye Ruxin didn't exist.
Lin Zian knew that his mother had a problem with Ruxin, so whenever he had a chance, he would praise Ruxin in front of her. He smiled and said, "Mom, Ruxin liked a skirt a few days ago and thought it was suitable for you. She specially bought it for you. Would you like to try it?"
Jiang Ruolan glanced at the leaves of vegetables and fruits and said lukewarm, "why did I buy those messy things again? I don't have money. I'll buy them myself."
Ye Ruxin still smiled and said in a warm voice, "Mom, the skirt is elegant and generous, which can highlight your temperament. When I went shopping, I fell in love with it at a glance. I think only you can wear that feeling."
"Mom, if you have a good intention, give it a try and let us enjoy it." Lin Zian handed one of the bags to Jiang Ruolan.
"Grandma, just try it. I want to see it too!" Niuniu jumped into her arms and took her in her arms. Her big beautiful eyes flashed and full of expectation.
Although Jiang Ruolan wants ye Ruxin to have a boy, it doesn't mean she doesn't like Niuniu. On the contrary, she likes smart and sensible Niuniu very much. Facing the child's innocent eyes, she can't bear to refuse and reluctantly said, "well, well, since your father and daughter say so, I'll have a try."
She carried her clothes into the bedroom. Lin Zian turned his head and looked at ye Ruxin with a little apology. Ye Ruxin smiled silently at him and twisted things into the kitchen.
Ye Ruxin only bought her clothes twice. The first time was when Niu Niu was three years old. Jiang Ruolan's attitude towards ye Ruxin was cold. She accused ye Ruxin of having no taste. The clothes she bought were like stall goods, and she couldn't wear them out to see people. The second time, this time.
Jiang Ruolan took out the skirt from the bag. The tag on it has not been removed. The five digit price is Chanel's new autumn and winter clothes. Even she was reluctant to buy more clothes. There were only two or three pieces to support the scene.
For a time, the mood was a little complicated.
Change your clothes, stand in front of the mirror and look at the woman in the mirror. She is elegant and generous. It is really suitable for her, as ye Ruxin said.
Not only did she feel good, Lin Zian and Niu Niu also praised it in unison. Ye Ruxin hooked her lips and smiled, "Mom, it's very beautiful. It's really suitable for you."
Jiang Ruolan snorted coldly, "it's not zi'an's money to buy such expensive clothes. You didn't earn a penny and spent money recklessly. You don't feel bad. I still feel bad."
Ye Ruxin shook his fingers and his face changed slightly, barely maintaining a smile.
Lin Zian's face was instantly ugly and said in a deep voice, "Mom, Ruxin and I are husband and wife. What's mine? We are one, and we shouldn't share each other. In addition, Ruxin doesn't spend money indiscriminately. She is very economical in what she wears. She puts all her mind on me and Niuniu. She has never been stingy to you. Please don't say such chilling words in the future. "
He never said such serious words. Even if his mother was embarrassed in front of him before, he didn't accuse her, but secretly persuaded his mother, but this time, he really couldn't help it. He didn't want his favorite wife to be so difficult by his respected mother.
Jiang Ruolan didn't expect his son to challenge his authority. He was so angry that his face turned white and his lips trembled twice. He said angrily, "they all said that they married their wife and forgot their mother. That's true. How can I raise such an unfilial thing as you!"
"Mom, can you make some sense!"
Lin Zian's forehead was green and excited. He seemed to plan to break out the grievances accumulated over the years. Ye Ruxin hurriedly took his arm and whispered, "husband, calm down and stop talking."
Lin Zian pressed the back of her hand, "no, since the words have been spoken, let me finish. Mom, think for yourself. Isn't Ruxin good for you? I heard what you want to eat. She went to several vegetable markets to buy materials for you, and then sent them to your door. You are hospitalized for appendicitis surgery. She stays in the hospital to take care of you every day. You have a bad stomach. She studied it at home for more than a month, wrote a diet recipe and gave it to the nanny. She asked the nanny to follow the recipe and cured your stomach. She has done so much for you. Why can't you see her good? "
Jiang Ruolan's face was red and white, his eyes stared at Lin Zian, and said angrily, "in my eyes, thousands of good things are not as important as a grandson!"
She snorted angrily, left Lin Zian with a livid face, ye Ruxin with a pale face, and the little girl who was about to cry, and went back to her room.
She locked herself in the room. She shouldn't listen to anyone knocking at the door.
Lin Zian's family of three stood in the empty living room, in a bad mood.
Ye Ruxin reluctantly smiled, "husband, let mom be alone. I'll prepare lunch."
Lin Zian's face eased slightly. "Let me help you."
"No, you stay with Niuniu." Ye Ruxin stooped down and rubbed Niu Niu's hair and said softly, "Niu Niu, play with daddy in the living room for a while. Mommy went to the kitchen to cook."
"OK." Niuniu nodded.
Ye Ruxin went into the kitchen and closed the kitchen door. The tears that had been enduring slowly poured out of his eyes.
Lin Zian sat on the sofa watching TV with her daughter. Her eyes lingered over the kitchen. There was a bit of heartache in her deep eyes.
Niuniu nestled in his arms and said in a muffled voice, "Daddy, grandma doesn't like me?"
Lin Zian was slightly stunned, lowered her head and looked at her daughter in her arms. She buried her small head in his chest and held his clothes tightly with her small hands. She seemed very nervous and afraid.
He felt sour, rubbed her hair and said softly, "how could it be? What grandma likes most is Niu Niu."
"But grandma said she wanted a grandson," Niu Niu looked up at him and said with her mouth. "Grandma likes boys. I wish I were a boy."
Lin Zian was speechless. In the past, her mother was worried about her children and wouldn't say that in front of the children. What she said today not only hurt her heart, but also hurt Niuniu.
He felt a pain in his heart, hugged his daughter in his arms and said softly, "Niuniu, whether you are a boy or a girl, grandma loves you the same. Grandma was confused by daddy's anger just now, so she said that. In the final analysis, daddy is wrong. Can you forgive daddy?"
He took the responsibility on himself and diverted Niuniu's attention. Her negative emotions were indeed reduced. He hugged his neck, kissed him on the face and smiled sweetly, "I forgive daddy."
"Niu Niu is so good." Lin Zian rubbed her hair with a smile.
When lunch was ready, Lin Zian knocked on the door of the master bedroom, "Mom, dinner is your favorite dish."
For a long time, no one answered.
Lin Zian knocked again, his voice raised slightly, "Mom, it's time to eat."
Jiang Ruolan's angry voice came, "if you don't eat, you're full of gas. What else to eat!"
Lin Zian stood at the door for a moment, shook his fingers, and turned back to the dining room.
Ye Ruxin came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. Niuniu sat in her small chair with an uneasy look on her face. "Daddy, is grandma still angry?"
Lin Zian smiled, "no, grandma is tired and doesn't want to go out. Daddy sends grandma in. You and Mommy eat first."
Niu Nuo gave a "Oh" sound.
Lin Zian opened the door of the master bedroom with the spare key. Jiang Ruolan lay on the bed with his back to the door. He put the food at the head of the bed, sat beside the bed and whispered, "Mom, Niuniu just asked me if grandma doesn't like me? She also said, "grandma likes boys. I wish I were a boy."
Jiang Ruolan's body was stiff. In fact, when she said that sentence in front of Niuniu, she regretted it. She just wanted face. Even if it was her own fault, she was unwilling to admit it.
"Mom, you didn't see her uneasy look... Seriously, I look very uncomfortable... Niuniu is a big child, and she understands those words." Lin Zian's voice is a little hoarse.
Jiang Ruolan said nothing and rigidly maintained a lateral position.
Lin Zian said slowly, "Mom, I know you take care of the restaurant alone. It's very hard. We didn't help. It's our fault. In fact, there are ways to solve this problem. As long as you ask a professional manager to take care of the restaurant for you, you can relax. "
Jiang Ruolan turned around and stared at him. "You think I haven't considered this problem, but the restaurant is always our family's industry and needs our family to inherit it!"
Lin Zian's thin lips pursed slightly and said in a deep voice, "Mom, Niuniu can also inherit the restaurant. Look at her. She is so smart and sensible. Where is she worse than boys? Why do you have to be so patriarchal? As a woman, don't you also take good care of the restaurant? " Jiang Ruolan raised her voice, "just because I am a woman, I understand how difficult it is to be a strong woman. Niuniu is very clever and smart, but I don't think she can inherit her family business. Her character is not suitable at all! After all that, you just don't want to give me a grandson, do you? "
Lin Zian's face was very ugly, and he bit his teeth and said, "Mom, in those days, Ruxin had trouble giving birth, and she almost died. What did you say outside the delivery room? You said, I hope all Bodhisattvas will bless Ruxin's mother and son. You also said that it is enough for us to have a child, and we will never let Ruxin live again in the future. You may have forgotten all these words, but I didn't forget! I will never forget how dangerous the situation was. I almost lost my favorite woman! Mom, I made the decision to stop having children. If you want to blame me, blame me. Please don't be embarrassed in the future. "
Jiang Ruolan was stunned and suddenly burst into tears.
The cry echoed in the room. Fortunately, the sound insulation of the house was better. Ye Ruxin's mother and daughter, who were eating silently in the dining room, didn't hear it.
Lin Zian sighed silently, took out a paper towel and handed it to her, "Mom, is grandson really so important? It's important to give up family harmony and your favorite granddaughter? "
Jiang Ruolan's mood is extremely complex. On the one hand, she also feels that she has done too much. On the other hand, she feels sad that her son and daughter-in-law can't understand her pain.
She grabbed the paper towel from her son's hand, wiped her tears casually, and said painfully, "what have I worked so hard for so many years, not to lay a foundation for you. Even if you don't want to inherit your family business, I can last for a few years, but I can't go to the third generation. "
"Mom, look, we're back to the origin again. If you're willing to let Niuniu inherit, isn't there nothing?" Lin Zi comforted her back and comforted her with a gentle voice. "Mom, you're a little wrong today. Is something wrong with the restaurant?"
