Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

"No, Wang Dashan, what do you mean? You want to rebel too, is that it!"

Wang Zhanggen nearly slammed the table and stood up.

Wang Dashan hurriedly explained:

"Dad, I didn't mean anything else. If it doesn't taste good, then just don't eat it. Later I'll take you out to eat."

Wang Xiaohua at this moment quietly chimed in:

"There are a lot of people watching around here. If you make a scene, it'll be a huge loss of face."

Hearing Wang Xiaohua's words, Wang Zhanggen's anger instantly subsided quite a bit.

He looked up and scanned the surroundings. Indeed, there were quite a few people.

If he made a scene here, it would indeed be very shameful.

So he quieted down and stopped making a scene.

They finished the meal with great difficulty, then went to take a big group photo.

During the photo, Wang Zhanggen said he wanted to hold the child.

But Du Xiaojuan said to Li Xiulan:

"Mom, you hold him!"

Li Xiulan replied with a smile:

"Okay, okay!"

Then she hurriedly received the child.

Wang Zhanggen was unhappy again:

"Why not let me, the grandfather, hold him?"

Li Xiulan said coldly:

"Your leg hasn't healed from the break yet. Can you even hold him securely? If you drop and hurt the child, you'll have plenty to regret!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen also felt it made sense.

Right now he has difficulty even standing, let alone holding a child.

He just speaks without thinking.

Seeing Du Xiaojuan not let him hold the child for the photo, he thought Du Xiaojuan had a problem with him.

So although he felt Li Xiulan's words made sense, he still couldn't help but complain:

"Some people truly have no respect for elders. They don't put me in their eyes at all!"

Du Xiaojuan directly ignored him.

She hurriedly went to greet the photographer to take the picture.

Wang Zhanggen felt like a fist hitting air — extremely uncomfortable.

He had thought Du Xiaojuan would directly confront him.

If she really confronted him, then he would have an excuse to righteously condemn Du Xiaojuan.

Too bad Du Xiaojuan didn't fulfill his wish!

If not for Wang Xiaohua's persuasion, Du Xiaojuan probably really wouldn't have given Wang Zhanggen a good face. Given her stubborn temper, directly scolding Wang Zhanggen would have been considered light. If provoked, she'd probably directly drive Wang Zhanggen out!

Now, after Wang Xiaohua's persuasion, she has seen the light. The overall situation is paramount. As for Wang Zhanggen, this old man, just treat him as air!

Anyway, after today, she will never let Wang Zhanggen come to Guangzhou to see her again!

Not only will she not allow him to come to the postpartum center side, she won't allow him to come to the villa side either!

"Come, everyone look at the lens, smile, eggplant!"

The photographer held the camera, faced everyone, and pressed the shutter!

In this big group photo, Li Xiulan held the child and sat in the very center of the front row with Wang Zhanggen.

Wang Dashan and Miss Du stood in the center of the back row.

Wang Erhai and Zhang Yueran stood on the right side of the back row.

Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia stood on the left side of the back row.

The photographer took several shots in a row. Everyone was smiling. Only Wang Zhanggen kept a black face the whole time.

Even the photographer couldn't bear to watch.

He reminded Wang Zhanggen:

"Uncle, smile! Let's take another one!"

Wang Zhanggen only then reluctantly smiled.

"Good, good, just like that. Hold this pose!"

The photographer took another shot.

Seeing Wang Zhanggen's smile was rather forced, he wanted to continue shooting.

But Du Xiaojuan said:

"Let's stop here. I think this one looks quite satisfactory. No need to take more."

Because she knew, even if they took more, it would be impossible to make that old thing Wang Zhanggen smile from the heart.

This old thing is just deliberately looking for trouble!

So there's no need to waste time on the group photo!

Just take it and be done!

After the photos were taken, Du Xiaojuan told Wang Dashan she was a bit tired and asked him to send everyone back.

Wang Dashan nodded repeatedly; he also couldn't wait to send Wang Zhanggen off quickly.

So he hurriedly sent everyone downstairs.

Wang Erhai, Wang Xiaohua and the others could all understand their eldest brother's feelings, so they didn't say anything.

Wang Zhanggen, however, still kept nagging non-stop, saying he wanted to look at his grandson a while longer.

Wang Erhai directly pulled him away.

"I still have to go back to work; if you don't leave, you'll have to drive yourself back later!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhanggen finally left, unwilling in his heart.

When Li Xiulan left, she turned back and gave Du Xiaojuan a red envelope.

Du Xiaojuan said no, but she insisted on stuffing it into Du Xiaojuan's hands, and also said:

"This is the custom on our side; you gave birth to a child for our family, so you definitely have to be given a red envelope. Later buy more clothes and nutritional supplements for the child, and take good care of your own body too — don't shortchange yourself!"

Du Xiaojuan was moved involuntarily:

"Got it, Mom!"

For that one moment, she felt Li Xiulan wasn't her mother-in-law, but more like her birth mother.

To be exact, even her birth mother had never cared for her like this.

So it made her feel that no matter what a bastard her father-in-law was, she couldn't bring negative emotions onto her mother-in-law.

Downstairs at the postpartum center, Wang Erhai drove Li Xiulan, Wang Zhanggen, and Zhang Yueran back to the county town.

While Wang Dashan drove Wang Xiaohua and Li Jianjia back to the university town.

In the car, Wang Zhanggen sitting in the back row started sighing again:

"Old now; you lot, one by one, don't respect me anymore — what meaning is there in my being alive?"

Hearing this, Wang Erhai didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Zhang Yueran was also at a loss for words.

The two exchanged a glance and pretended they hadn't heard his complaining.

Zhang Yueran even reached out to turn on the car music and turned the volume up.

Li Xiulan looked at the scenery outside the car window and didn't bother with Wang Zhanggen either.

She had also figured it out: the more response you give this old thing, the more he acts up!

Directly ignoring him, treating him like air, is the most correct approach.

"What use is having three sons? Others see the glory, but in reality it's heart-worrying; one or two not giving peace of mind would be fine, but they even treat me like this!"

Wang Zhanggen sighed and said this one sentence, then scanned a glance at Wang Erhai ahead — discovered Wang Erhai was driving attentively, not the slightest reaction.

Scanned another glance at Li Xiulan beside him — discovered Li Xiulan was looking out the window, also not the slightest reaction.

"Have you all gone deaf? Can't you hear me speaking!"

Wang Erhai and Li Xiulan still didn't respond.

Wang Zhanggen bored himself, stopped speaking, and finally shut up.

This time Wang Erhai took the expressway straight back to the hometown, didn't stop in the county town, sent Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan back to Shangou Village, then hurried back to the county town non-stop — didn't even stay for dinner.

Because they really didn't want to endure Wang Zhanggen's nagging any longer.

"How did your dad become like this? I remember before he wasn't too good at communicating, but not to this extent!"

On the road back to the county town, Zhang Yueran couldn't help saying a sentence.

Wang Erhai smiled bitterly:

"I'm not clear either; who knows what he's thinking?"

Zhang Yueran frowned and spoke a sentence:

"I'm really afraid that later your dad will treat me the way he treats your eldest sister-in-law..."

Wang Erhai's heart gave a jolt; he hurriedly said:

"Rest assured, I won't let him act up in front of you; if he dares, I'll directly kick him out — I won't be indulgent like Big Brother and Sister-in-law!"

Hearing this, Zhang Yueran laughed:

"Husband, just knew you treat me the best!"
