The wicked wife is pregnant again and again, and she takes her whole family flying with her spatial

As one can imagine, the punishment of the ruler would only elicit a cry of grievance and helplessness from Yu Lian.

Li Ying reacted immediately and shielded her granddaughter in her arms, turning her back to her.

"Oh dear! Lianlian, how could you hit the child!"

In truth, Yu Lian regretted her actions the moment she made them, but there was no turning back now. Perhaps making her realize the seriousness of the matter was the right thing to do.

"Mom, go back to your room and rest. I need to talk to her alone."

Yu Lian took her daughter from her mother-in-law with a firm attitude, and then the sound of the door lock closing followed.

The sound of crying continued inside. Li Ying paced anxiously back and forth at the door before finally looking at An'an.

"An'an, be good, tell your mom that you've forgiven your sister and ask her not to hit her anymore."

He Ning'an looked directly at his grandmother, then gave her a cold look before turning and going upstairs.

"An'an!"

"Grandma! It was clearly my sister who was in the wrong. How can you do this to your brother?" He Ningchuan said, dissatisfied.

"I'm not saying your brother is wrong, I'm just asking him to put in a good word for your sister."

He Ningze said with dissatisfaction, "Grandma, I can see now, you favor my sister."

Li Ying said helplessly, "Your sister has been in poor health since she was a child. She's finally getting better now, so we can't let her get sick from fright."

The two brothers exchanged a glance and then pulled their grandmother away.

"Grandma, don't do this, or Mom will hate you."

Li Ying plopped down: "Fine, fine, I don't care anymore."

The crying continued in the room, but the sound grew fainter and fainter until only a faint sob could be heard.

"Mom, I was wrong. I'll go apologize to my brother right now."

"Manman, you're not a bad child, why are you suddenly like this? Did your brother do something to upset you?"

Even when the siblings had disagreements before, it never escalated to this point; this time it's really different.

"Brother...Brother said I'm a bad child, and that Mom shouldn't have given birth to me."

Yu Lian's first reaction was disbelief; how could her son say such vicious things to his sister?

"Did my brother really say that? When?"

"It was just a couple of days ago, when I made a mistake."

Yu Lian remembered—because of Manman's mischief, she was made to stand facing the wall for an hour as punishment. It was afternoon, and the children were all resting upstairs. No one else was home; He Lin was at work.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now. I'll ask my brother about it first, and then we'll decide who should apologize to whom."

In the living room, He Lin, who had just returned home from get off work late, immediately sensed an atmosphere of impending doom.

"What happened?"

"Dad! You're back!"

"Stop watching mindless movies and be normal."

He Ningchuan snorted: "Hmph, then I'm not talking to you anymore."

Li Ying wiped away her tears: "Quickly tell your wife that she can't hit the child. Manman is still so young, it hurts so much to be hit with that ruler."

Taking off his watch, He Lin rubbed his temples. "Mom, don't get involved in what's between them. Besides, you hit me when we were kids, and I never saw you soften."

Li Ying stood up, pointed at her own son, and said, "How can that be the same! I've only disciplined you a handful of times, and if you didn't cause trouble, would I have hit you? Manman isn't in good health, I can't hit him."

He Lin looked at his mother, still making excuses for his favoritism: "Mom, haven't you seen He Ningxi's medical report? She's just like a normal child now. Stop protecting her. Yu Lian never hits children; it's obvious she made a big mistake."

He Ningchuan chimed in, "Exactly! My little sister bit my big brother until he bled, how wicked!"

"Shut up and get out of here."

He Ningchuan was somewhat unwilling to be dragged away by his brother.

"Mom, should I have the driver pick you up?"

How could Li Ying dare to leave? What if the beating got even worse if she left?

"No, what if your wife gets angry again and hits the child later? I have to stay with Manman."

Just then, an accusing voice came from upstairs: "Grandma, you're being unfair! Your older brother won't like you anymore!"

Li Ying said distressedly, "Yes, yes, it's all Grandma's fault. Please stop arguing and let Grandma have some peace and quiet."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened, and He Ningxi's face was covered in tears. Actually, Yu Lian had only hit her once, and after going in, she seriously reasoned with her daughter. Perhaps He Ningxi felt wronged, which was why she cried so hard.

"Grandma, take a look."

Having found a backer, He Ningxi rushed into her grandmother's arms, but she had just calmed down and started crying again.

Yu Lian gave He Lin a look and went upstairs to talk to An An.

"Mom, let her stand up by herself, don't carry her."

Li Ying glared at her son: "You're a devil! Look how swollen your hands are!"

"Yes, the swelling would have gone down if we had come out even a minute later."

"Get out of here, don't stand next to me." Li Ying angrily picked up her granddaughter and took her away.

He Lin called over the two kids who loved watching the drama unfold and asked them what had happened.

"So, your sister started it?"

"Can't you understand what I'm saying, Dad? I already told you that's my brother's water bottle, but she insisted on taking it."

"Call me Dad. If you do that, people will think I'm all old and gray."

"I'm calling you that out of respect; in movies, people usually call you that because they're very powerful."

He Lin was somewhat worried, but dared not go in and disturb them, so he could only sit at the door and wait.

"An'an, do you hate everyone in your family because of your dream?"

The mother and son stood on the small balcony, enjoying the sea breeze and the panoramic view of the harbor. Despite the expansive scenery, their low spirits were overwhelmed.

"no."

"He Ning'an, I'm asking you a very serious question now, so please be serious too."

"So I was wrong?"

Instead of answering his mother's question directly, he asked her one in return. At that moment, both mother and son looked very uncomfortable.

"An'an, Mom doesn't mean to blame you. You're still young. You'll understand when you're older. No one in the family did anything wrong back then. Your sister is still young too. Think about it, is your sister a bad child? Was she just being difficult because of her emotions?"

But at this moment, He Ning'an was truly determined: "Don't try to fool me with your age. Mom, I want to know the truth. If you don't tell me, no matter how good they are to me, I can't go against my conscience and be with them. Send me back to Yuncheng. I'd rather stay with my grandparents than with them. Everything about the He family has nothing to do with me."

Yu Lian feared that she would dream about today's conversation from now on. Beyond the verbal reasons, her biggest worry was whether her child would still see her the same way after learning of her actions—would they feel that their mother's image had collapsed at that moment?

Yu Lian felt uneasy, but when she met An An's inquisitive eyes, she finally made up her mind to speak.

"An'an, since you're so eager to know, Mommy will tell you."

He Ning'an nodded seriously—he had been waiting for the truth for a long time.
