Chapter 654 - 608: Ending the Cycle
Now that the elderly patriarch and matriarch of the He Family were not as healthy as they had been in previous years, He Shan seldom went out anymore, spending more of his time at home with his parents. Consequently, He Juanjuan no longer returned to Xichuan, having been a person who used to bustle around; staying in Beijing posed no problem. With her at home, Meng Siqi’s situation improved a lot.
The old lady disapproved, but she couldn’t do anything about it. Who asked them to marry such a delicate daughter-in-law? Having grown to such an age yet still hopping from one place to the other constantly, the grandmother inevitably found displeasure looking at Meng Siqi no matter how she changed.
The two had open and secret quarrels numerous times.
Meng Siqi no longer wished to stay at home.
But where could she go? Both of her sons had settled down in Xichuan. Although there were not many differences between her and Qiao Qingyu, to be honest, Meng Siqi would rather stay with her eldest son than her second son.
She said to He Juanjuan, "Juanjuan, mom wants to stay at your elder brother’s house for a few days."
In recent years, Meng Siqi had also begun to show her age, after all, she was in her sixties. He Juanjuan’s heart softened at the thought and she was just about to agree when suddenly she thought of her mother’s condition and said, "Mom, my sister-in-law is pregnant right now, and if you go, she will have to take care of you. How would that be proper?"
