Chapter 513: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Conflict 1

Jian Yixin hesitated slightly: "If I go to your house, won't I be kicked out by your parents-in-law?"

Shi Youxuan vowed: "No, my father-in-law is honest, and my mother-in-law is the most reasonable person; they won't make things difficult for you."

As it turned out, when the two arrived at the front door, Wang Yingzhi blocked the entrance and wouldn't let Jian Yixin in: "What are you here for? You didn't steal it last time, so now you're here for an open robbery?"

Jian Yixin's face turned red in a "whoosh."

Shi Youxuan saw that things were bad and hurriedly stepped forward to whisper to her mother-in-law: "Mom, what are you doing? That matter was her mother's and second aunt's fault; Yixin didn't know about it."

Wang Yinghao: "How do you know she didn't know? Maybe it was something they planned together..."

An honest person doesn't easily lose their temper, but when they do, it leaves others with no way to back down.

Wang Yinghao didn't intend to leave Jian Yixin even a shred of face, and her voice was very loud, for fear that she wouldn't hear it.

Jian Yixin's face turned red and then white; how could she still enter their house like this?

She said goodbye right then and there.

"Xuanxuan, Auntie, I'm going back."

"I'll see you out."

Shi Youxuan followed her, while Wang Yinghao snorted through her nose, turned around, and went back inside, slamming the door with a "Bang!" that shook the heavens to show that Jian Yixin was an unwelcome guest.

"I'm sorry, Yixin, I didn't think it would be like this."

Shi Youxuan apologized to Jian Yixin; she truly hadn't expected that her mother-in-law, who was always gentle and reasonable, would make things difficult for Jian Yixin.

She had thought she could get over it, and that her family could too, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

The crimson on Jian Yixin's face had not yet faded, and she smiled somewhat awkwardly: "This isn't your fault; it's only right for Auntie to blame me; it's what I deserve."

Shi Youxuan comforted Jian Yixin a few more times, telling her that the elder was just unable to get over it for the moment, but she would persuade her and would definitely make her mother-in-law change her mind; what had been promised before would remain unchanged!

Jian Yixin got in the car and left.

She turned back and returned, and as soon as she entered the front gate, she saw her mother-in-law's displeased expression.

For the first time ever, Wang Yinghao didn't pay any attention to Shi Youxuan when she saw her, keeping a cold face.

This wasn't just being angry; this was being furious!

"Mom, can we talk?" Shi Youxuan realized she had thought the problem was too simple.

She hadn't expected her mother-in-law to have such a huge reaction to seeing Jian Yixin; now it had made everyone very awkward.

Wang Yinghao, however, didn't want to talk to her, saying coldly: "I know you have a glib tongue, but don't use that act on me. In any case, I will absolutely not agree to anyone from the Jian Family getting close to Xiao Erbao again, unless you drive me out of this house; out of sight, out of mind."

After speaking, she turned and went upstairs to her room.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed shut loudly, signaling her dissatisfaction to Shi Youxuan.

Shi Youxuan knew that this would be difficult to handle.

The day after tomorrow was Sheng Zichen's full-month celebration.

It had originally been set for the full-month celebration and the Ganqin ceremony to take place at the same time, but now it looked very difficult!

Her mother-in-law was so resistant to Jian Yixin even coming to the house; if she knew she still wanted to let Xiao Erbao have Jian Yixin as a godmother, wouldn't she be driven mad with anger?

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship had always been good.

Wang Yinghao had no daughter, so she treated Shi Youxuan as both a daughter-in-law and a daughter, truly doting on her.

She usually pampered her, cared for her, and was almost completely compliant.

Shi Youxuan had no mother of her own, so she also respected and loved her mother-in-law Wang Yinghao as if she were her own mother.

The two had never had any conflict, not even the smallest one.

But now a disagreement had occurred; how could it be resolved?

Shi Youxuan was in a dilemma.

She knew it would be easy to make her mother-in-law stop being angry: just promise her that she would no longer associate with the Jian Family, and the Ganqin ceremony would naturally be canceled, and it could never be mentioned again.

Breaking her word to Jian Yixin was a small matter, but the key was that she didn't want to do that.

Lunchtime had arrived.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Shi Youxuan knocked on the door: "Mom, it's time to eat."

Wang Yingzhi said in a muffled voice from inside: "I'm not eating, I'm full from anger."

Shi Youxuan: "People are iron and rice is steel; that's what you said, so since when can anger be eaten as a meal? You never taught me that..."

She tried to use humor to gloss over it—it didn't work.

There was no more sound from inside; no response.

So she kept knocking, neither too hard nor too soft, rambling outside like she was chanting scriptures: "Time to eat, Mom, time to eat."

"If you don't eat, I won't eat either. Anyway, I'm already this fat, so it's a good time to skip a meal or two to lose weight..."

There was still no movement inside, so Shi Youxuan used her trump card: "If I go hungry, your grandson will have to go hungry too. But don't worry, I'll mix some formula for him, though I can't guarantee he'll drink it!"

Since Sheng Zichen was born, he had been drinking breast milk.

Shi Youxuan insisted on breastfeeding, which was different from many mothers who wouldn't breastfeed to keep their figures; she insisted on giving the child breast milk.

The nutrition of breast milk could not be compared to even the best formula.

Sheng Zichen was used to breast milk and wouldn't eat formula.

Once in the middle of the night, the child woke up, and the mother-in-law, not wanting to wake the daughter-in-law, thought to feed the little one some formula to change his palate, but Sheng Zichen wouldn't drink it.

He would rather cry his lungs out from hunger than eat a "late-night snack" that tasted different.

Shi Youxuan brought Xiao Erbao out, and it finally had an effect.

The door opened.

The mother-in-law came out of the room and headed straight for the kitchen.

She didn't pay any attention to her and still didn't give her a pleasant look, but she had already taken the first step!

At the dining table.

Shi Youxuan used all her flattery skills, serving rice and soup for her mother-in-law, picking up food for her, and peeling shrimp...

After this round of flattery, the mother-in-law's expression looked much better.

After the meal, she served tea and water for her mother-in-law again, kneading her back and rubbing her shoulders.

Sweet words poured out endlessly; the flattery was very obvious, and the effect was also very significant—Wang Yinghao's anger had subsided!

"Alright, go rest for a while. I know you are a good child; I wasn't really losing my temper at you just now."

"I don't object to you making friends, as long as you don't have contact with Jian Yixin. That is my only requirement, is that okay?"

Shi Youxuan:...

Of course it was not okay.

She said to her mother-in-law: "Mom, Yixin is a very good person; she is different from her mother..."

"How is she different? They are both smiling tigers, neither is a good thing. Like mother, like daughter. Anyway, I just don't like her. You cannot make the decision about the Ganqin on your own; I firmly disagree!"

After speaking, she stood up from the sofa in a huff and turned to go upstairs—"Bang!" She slammed the door shut to show her dissatisfaction.

All the flattery had landed on the horse's hoof.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at a stalemate.

Wang Yinghao hoped that her daughter-in-law would no longer associate with Jian Yixin, and of course, the matter of letting Sheng Zichen have a godmother would have to be dropped.

Shi Youxuan insisted on proceeding as originally planned; she felt that her mother-in-law's "guilt by association" mindset was ridiculous.

People are all independent individuals, okay?

Just because Lady Jian had malice toward them, it was too arbitrary to reject all members of the Jian Family.

Neither of the two was willing to take a step back.

Wang Yinghao had always been very gentle and easy to talk to, but this time when she became firm, she was firmer than anyone else.

There was simply no room for discussion.

Sheng Jiang went to find his son: "Hanyu, you have to handle this matter. Persuade your wife to be obedient; can't she just listen to your mother for once?"

Sheng Hanyu said to his father: "This is not some other matter; this cannot be persuaded. I think Xuanxuan is right, and I don't want to persuade her either."

The husband and wife stood on the same side, both disagreeing with canceling the Ganqin!

Wang Yinghao began to pack her things, preparing to move out.
