When Ye Xiuzheng led his two sons out, he happened to see Dong Yizhi carrying large bags and small packages as she walked out of the mall. The place they were in now consisted of the first and second floors of the mall.

Judging from her expectant look, Ye Xiu had sent his two sons away and was waiting in the private room.

Sure enough, not long after, Shi Tingfeng and a few friends came out of the elevator. Ye Xiu saw that someone had come to pick up the girl, so he also left the private room and went straight to the parking lot.

As soon as Zhizhi and Shitingfeng arrived home, they heard Xiaoshiyun's deafening cries.

Shi Tingfeng hurriedly put down the things his wife had bought and strode to the children's room.

"What's wrong, little one? Do you miss Mommy and Daddy? Come here, let Daddy give you a hug..."

Shi Tingfeng hugged Xiao Shiyun tightly, calling her "baby" over and over again, as if he couldn't get enough of kissing her.

The nanny, who was standing nearby, felt quite embarrassed when she saw this. After all, the family had just returned home and found the child crying. She didn't know if she would be scolded.

But she quickly explained, "I was in the kitchen just now. Xiao Yun had just woken up, so I came over to check on her. Mr. and Mrs. Shi came back shortly after."

Seeing that the aunt was a little at a loss, Zhizhi comforted her, "It's okay, Auntie. Children will cry and fuss sometimes. Brother Feng just loves the child too much. Since we're here, you can go and help out in the kitchen."

Zhizhi is very satisfied with the housekeeper at home. There used to be two housekeepers, but after Shi's mother came, she felt that having two housekeepers was too ostentatious, so she dismissed one of them. Now there is only one live-in housekeeper, and sometimes she is inevitably too busy.

However, Shi's mother was worried about the housekeeper going to buy the daily groceries alone, so she often went to the supermarket or farmers' market herself.

Sometimes the nanny is home alone, so it's understandable that she can't take care of everything.

So she didn't think the aunt was wrong for not having time to hold the child.

As soon as Shi's mother returned, she saw large and small bags in the entryway. The bags looked expensive, and she immediately knew that they were bought by Tingfeng's wife.

Tingfeng's wife is really outrageous. She doesn't care about the children or her husband. All she does in her free time is go shopping.

She looked at the clothes and shoes piled up everywhere in the room, and she hardly ever saw her wearing them. She really didn't understand her husband's hard work and was so wasteful! This woman, doesn't she know how to save money?

She originally wanted to scold her daughter-in-law a bit, but she was afraid that the daughter-in-law would find her long-winded.

These days, daughters-in-law live much more comfortable lives than their mothers-in-law.

In the past, it was one thing for a daughter-in-law to have to watch her mother-in-law's face, but now that she's a mother-in-law herself, she still has to live by watching her daughter-in-law's face!

Seeing her husband soothing the child, Zhizhi thought about her shopping haul and decided to take everything back to her room.

To avoid my mother-in-law seeing that hesitant expression on her face, which is always upsetting.

Who knew that as soon as I stepped out the door, I would run into my mother-in-law, who was acting like she was half-dead.

"Mom is back."

Zhizhi greeted them, then grabbed the bag and ran upstairs.

Shi's mother was about to say something, but she swallowed the words back down.

At the dinner table, Shi's mother watched her son holding his little granddaughter and feeding her with adoration, while Dong Yizhi, the mother, mindlessly ate her own food and occasionally asked her son to put her favorite dishes on her plate.

Shi's mother couldn't bear to watch any longer and said, "Tingfeng, give Shi Yun to me, you eat first."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at her daughter-in-law, hoping that her daughter-in-law could understand what she was saying and also notice that her own husband was still hungry.

Zhizhi heard this, but she ignored it and continued to ask her husband to serve her food. After all, the dining table at home was too big, and it was difficult to find a dish she liked.

While answering his mother's question, Shi Tingfeng served food to his wife, saying, "No need, my precious daughter just likes me holding her."

Shi Tingfeng was completely unaware of his mother's thoughts, focusing all his attention on serving his beloved wife and precious daughter.

Shi's mother felt that she was worrying for nothing, and that the boy had no idea of ​​her good intentions.

She had no choice but to change the subject, "Yizhi, where did you go today? I haven't seen you anywhere at home."

Zhizhi didn't even raise her eyes. She was used to her mother-in-law's questions from time to time, but she was still a little annoyed. She felt inexplicably sullen, unable to let go or get out of her chest.

So Zhizhi's reply was a bit sharp: "Oh, I went out to eat and do some shopping with Brother Feng. Didn't you see that when you got back? Why ask?"

Looking at her daughter-in-law's impatient tone, Shi's mother felt a little wronged. She was just trying to be kind and caring, so why was she getting impatient?

"I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid you'll be bored here all by yourself. Tingfeng is busy with work and can't take care of you." Shi's mother looked like she was doing it for your own good.

“I’m the one taking care of the kids at home now. You’re so young, why don’t you find something to do? Or you could find a job too! We women need to…”

Not wanting to listen to her mother's long-winded lecture, Zhizhi slammed down her chopsticks with a loud "bang" before she had even finished her meal.

He said, "I'm full," and went back to his room.

Before Shi Tingfeng could react, he saw his wife return to the room with a bad expression.

As Xiao Yun watched her mother walk away, she called out, somewhat bewildered, "Daddy~"

Then, pointing at Zhizhi who was leaving, she called out, "Mommy~ Eat!"

After comforting his father and daughter, Shi Tingfeng looked at his mother and said reproachfully, "Mom, you're retired now, so don't bring out those theories from your teacher at home. Zhizhi is just a little girl, it's normal for her to be playful, she wouldn't understand those grand principles you're talking about."

Looking at the delicious-looking food in front of him, he added, "It's such a downer to be at the dinner table."

Shi's mother's expression was also not very good. She muttered, "Who am I doing this for? Isn't it all for you? You work yourself to the bone to earn money all day long, while she just casually spends tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars."

I secretly found out; those pieces of jewelry she keeps in her room cost hundreds of thousands each, and her clothes cost hundreds or thousands too. She hardly ever wears them—isn't that a waste of money?

Seeing her son's face grow increasingly grim, Shi's mother's originally assertive voice grew softer and softer.

"I only said a few extra words today; I've always held back before."

Looking at his mother's neatly combed hair, with a few strands of white hair peeking out, Shi Tingfeng said helplessly, "Mom, if you're not comfortable staying here, why don't you go back and take care of Dad? It's not easy for him to be alone at home."

Shi's mother quickly shook her head: "Your father is eating in the cafeteria, so I don't need to take care of him. I can't bear to part with my little granddaughter. I was thinking that when you have a grandson, I can help take care of him too."

Shi's mother is trying every trick in the book to get her to give birth.

“Now that we’re implementing the family planning policy, we’re already quite fortunate to have Xiao Yun. We don’t plan on having another child. Mom, you’re a Party member and cadre, so you can’t have any preference for sons over daughters.”

Mother Shi quickly waved her hand: "I'm not biased towards boys. I'm just thinking about you two. Neither of you has a stable job, so you can have more children! If we only have one granddaughter, she'll be lonely if something happens to her in the future, with no siblings to help her..."

The mother and son drifted off into a different topic as they talked, forgetting about Zhizhi who had left in anger.
