Li Yuzhen held the golden longevity lock, and her heart was mixed.
This is a gift she prepared for her grandson Xiaobao, and it is worth a lot of money. But just now, she heard her daughter-in-law Xiaoqin complaining on the phone: "Mom is eccentric, she buys silver for her granddaughter and gold for her grandson."
Yuzhen sighed, recalling half a month ago, when she prepared a gift for her newborn granddaughter Xiaoyu. At that time, she bought a silver longevity lock, thinking that she was a girl anyway, and she could cope with it casually. Who would have thought that this move would become a fuse and cause a family turmoil.
Yuzhen regretted it a little, but it was more incomprehensible and aggrieved. In her mind, her grandson deserves better. But why are young people nowadays so careful? Doesn't she, a grandmother, even have the right to love her grandson?
Yuzhen decides to talk to Xiaoqin in person.
She came to her son's house, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Xiaoqin changing Xiaoyu's diaper.
"Xiaoqin, I heard you have a problem with the gift I gave?" Yuzhen asked straight to the point.
Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "Mom, who did you listen to?" I have no opinion, really. "
Yuzhen felt unhappy for a while: "Don't hide it from me, I heard what you said on the phone."
Xiaoqin's face turned red all of a sudden: "Mom, why are you eavesdropping on my phone call?"
"I didn't eavesdrop, you were too loud." Yuzhen was a little annoyed, "Let me ask you, what gift do I give, what qualifications do you have?" "
Xiaoqin bit her lip: "Mom, I didn't mean that." I just think that since you are the grandmother of two children, you should treat them equally. "
Yuzhen sneered: "Treat everyone equally? Xiaoqin, have you forgotten that Xiaobao is my grandson, and his surname is Li. What's wrong with me hurting him a little? "
Xiaoqin's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Mom, do you mean that Xiaoyu is not surnamed Li?" Isn't she your granddaughter? "
Yuzhen was speechless for a while, but her heart was even more irritable. She didn't expect Xiaoqin to misinterpret her meaning like this.
At this moment, Yuzhen's son Xiaogang returned. Seeing his mother and wife at a tense appearance, he suddenly realized that the situation was not good.
"Mom, Xiaoqin, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Gang tried to lighten the mood.
Yuzhen spoke first: "Xiaogang, you came just in time." You ask your daughter-in-law, if I give a gift, she will be criticized? "
Xiao Gang looked at Xiaoqin in embarrassment: "Wife, what's going on?"
Xiaoqin couldn't help crying: "Xiaogang, your mother is eccentric." Buy gold for Xiaobao and silver for Xiaoyu. Isn't this a clear favoritism? "
Xiao Gang frowned: "Mom, is this true?"
Yuzhen said angrily: "What is really fake? What gift do I have to get your consent to? "
Xiao Gang took a deep breath: "Mom, I know you love Xiaobao." But Xiaoyu is also your own granddaughter. If you do this, it will make Xiaoqin think that you don't like Xiaoyu. "
Yuzhen trembled with anger: "Okay, you guys are colluding to deal with me, aren't you?" I'm so unbearable to be a grandmother? "
Xiao Gang tried to reassure his mother: "Mom, don't get excited. That's not what we meant. "
Yuzhen burst into tears: "I understand, I have no status in this family." Okay, then I won't care about you anymore!"
After speaking, Yuzhen turned around and was about to leave. Xiao Gang hurriedly went to stop him, but Yuzhen pushed him away: "Don't touch me!" You white-eyed wolves!"
Watching Yuzhen slam the door and leave, Xiaogang and Xiaoqin looked at each other and were at a loss.
When Yuzhen returned home, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. She picked up the phone and dialed her eldest sister's number.
"Sister, did you say I did something wrong?" Yuzhen cried.
After listening to what happened, the eldest sister was silent for a while, and said, "Little sister, have you ever wondered why Xiaoqin is so sensitive?"
Yuzhen was stunned: "What do you mean?"
The eldest sister sighed: "Do you remember the situation when Xiaoqin was pregnant with Xiaoyu?"
Yuzhen recalled that Xiaoqin was not in good health during her pregnancy, but she rarely visited Xiaoqin because she was busy taking care of Xiaobao.
The eldest sister continued: "Think about it again, after Xiaoyu was born, did you go to see her more than half as often as Xiaobao?"
Yuzhen suddenly realized something, and her heart felt empty.
The eldest sister said earnestly: "Little sister, you may not mean it, but your behavior does make Xiaoqin feel that you are biased."
Yuzhen was silent. She recalled all the things during this time, and suddenly realized that she really didn't care enough about Xiaoyu.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Yuzhen opened the door and found Xiaogang and Xiaoqin standing at the door with Xiaoyu in her arms.
Xiao Gang said apologetically: "Mom, I'm sorry, we shouldn't have said that about you."
Xiaoqin's eyes were red: "Mom, I know you love Xiaobao." I just hope you can hurt Xiaoyu a little bit more. "
Yuzhen looked at Xiaoyu's cute little face, and a burst of guilt suddenly surged in her heart. She stretched out her hands and carefully took the light rain.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Yuzhen choked up and said, "I will treat the two children equally in the future." "
Xiaoqin burst into tears and laughed: "Mom, if you can say that, I'm relieved."
Yuzhen looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I still have an idea."
The next day, Yuzhen took the whole family to the jewelry store.
She smiled and said to the clerk, "Please change two identical gold locks for me, one for my granddaughter and one for my grandson."
Looking at the glittering golden locks around the necks of the two children, Yuzhen's heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
