Feeling Xia Qingyuan's suddenly cold tone, Wang Ping choked on her words of reproach and opened her lips, not knowing how to continue.
Last time Xia Jingchen came back, he talked to her about Xia Qingyuan.
At that time, she also made up her mind to get along well with Xia Qingyuan.
But she found that Xia Qingyuan seemed to be specifically angry with her and did many things that went against her expectations.
The air in her heart was like a balloon, growing bigger and bigger, and she had to let it out.
Xia Qingyuan continued: "Ask yourself, what happened with Zhang Yu'e was that I tied her up to crawl into someone else's bed?
In the quarrel between the second brother and his wife, it was me who instigated Zhang Yujiao to disrespect her elders, not care about her husband and children, and only focus on her mother's family?"
At the end of the sentence, Xia Qingyuan herself was so angry that she laughed: "Mom, you really think highly of me."
"Qingyuan!" Wang Ping shouted loudly, "Yujiao is your second sister-in-law!"
This was the first time she heard Xia Qingyuan express her dissatisfaction with herself and Zhang Yujiao so frankly.
She couldn't help but feel cold in her heart: "Could it be that your second brother is getting divorced because of what you told him?"
Speaking of this, Wang Ping was angry and anxious: "You kid, can't you hope that they will be better?"
Xia Qingyuan felt powerless in response to Wang Ping's accusation, and she said sadly: "Mom, just think whatever you think in your heart.
If that's what you're calling to say, I have nothing more to say."
Hearing this, Wang Ping's blood surged all over his body: "You...you..."
When the three children grew up, who could be as disobedient to her as Xia Qingyuan today!
She had not dared to say "no" in front of her parents since she was a child and had been obedient in everything. She taught her children the same way after she got married. Unexpectedly, she fell into trouble with Xia Qingyuan, who was usually the most docile.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm down her mood, but her voice still trembled: "Qingyuan, go talk to Yizhou and ask him to do a favor.
And your second brother, please advise him not to be so impulsive.
Once these things are resolved, our family will be fine.
Otherwise, if these things are spread, every one of them will be disgraceful."
She paused, and her breathing became heavier: "Be obedient, and I'll beg you like my mother, okay?"
When Xia Qingyuan heard the word "beg", she felt more sad than shocked.
Her fingers were wrapped around the cord of the phone, and the stone in her heart kept sinking. A feeling of powerlessness spread in her heart, leaving only a barren land with no grass growing.
She heard her own voice, calm and plain: "Mom, actually you know better than anyone else that this matter cannot be solved by Yi Zhou's willingness to help.
If it is not handled well, it will affect him.
But you still spoke.
When you say beg me, aren't you kidnapping me with the affection between mother and daughter?
Do you think that after saying this, I can only agree, otherwise, it will be unfilial on my part."
She looked out the window. At the end of October in Diancheng, the trees were still green, and the birds were chirping on the branches, looking full of life.
She couldn't help but touch her chest, and the dull pain gradually became clearer.
I don't know if I'm used to it or if I've expected it, but the pain is no longer like the dense needle pricks in the past, it's just dull, telling myself that it's still beating, and that it still has feelings of love, hate, anger and obsession.
She didn't give Wang Ping a chance to speak, and continued: "Mom, I am also your daughter. Can you also look at me?"
As these words fell, tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her head stubbornly and opened her eyes wide to prevent the tears from falling.
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Xia Qingyuan said: "Mom, I have something else to do, so I won't say anything anymore. Goodbye."
She hung up the phone, stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and walked out of the door step by step.
Like a flower fluttering in the wind and rain, nothing can defeat her.
She opened the door, and the sun shone on her body, casting a layer of soft light on it.
A faint smile appeared on her lips and she walked out.

At noon, Xia Jingchen and Gong Lianxin arrived at Xinghua Village.
This was the time when everyone was eating at home, and we smelled the delicious food along the way.
Starting from the entrance of the village, Xia Jingchen walked to the door of a house and shouted.
After a while, a young man came out. The two whispered a few words. The man picked up a pole or wooden stick and followed them.
Along the way, the team expanded to nearly ten people.
I had met Xia Jingchen's friend Gong Lianxin, and I suddenly had a bold guess in my mind.
She looked at Xia Jingchen, but his face was open again.
Isn't it what she thought?
As soon as they walked to the door of their yard, they heard the noise and crying inside.
The noise was from the adults, and the crying was from the children. Among them, Xia Sitong and Xia Siyan cried the loudest.
Gong Lian was thinking about her child, so she ran over immediately if she couldn't bear it any longer.
Xia Jingchen and his friends nodded and followed closely behind.
A group of men stood guard outside and did not go in immediately.
As soon as the two entered the house, they saw the house full of messes. Three children were crying and the adults were quarreling.
The Zhang family's mother-in-law stood at the front, pointed at Wang Ping and cursed loudly, with spittle spraying onto Wang Ping's face.
The four sons stood behind her, glaring angrily.
Zhang Yujiao sat on a chair nearby, crying and complaining about her own pity and Xia Jingchen's heartlessness.
Compared to them, Wang Ping appears to be much weaker.
Xia Jingyue and Xia Youming were both the ones trying to persuade them to make peace, so they stood in the middle and told them to stop arguing.
Why do they care so much? They still scold Xia Jingchen and Xia Qingyuan at the top of their lungs, for fear that others won't hear.
When the quarrel got agitated, the mother-in-law of the Zhang family even pushed Xia Youming. Fortunately, Xia Jingyue stood behind and held him back.
Looking at everything in front of him, Xia Jingchen was filled with anger and shouted: "That's enough!"
