The 70s Novel: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Lie Down-Chapter 263: The Calamity of the Golden Lock Charm

Zheng Zhen was very happy today, her two little grandsons had just turned one month old. Watching them grow stronger and cuter by the day, her heart felt as if it would melt with affection.

Today was her grandson’s important day. Having just checked in on their peaceful sleep in the room, even her mood towards her usually unappealing eldest daughter-in-law improved significantly.

It was rare for the two not to meet with tense expressions, maintaining an appearance of harmony, as even Zheng Zhen spoke with a

"Has Ah Peng been busy lately? Why hasn’t he come to see me since I moved out?" Zheng Zhen said with a bit of grievance. In this family, if anyone still treated her well, it was Jiang Peng.

Bai Li’s heart sank; she and Jiang Peng had argued over their daughter Jiang Huilan. Yesterday Jiang Peng didn’t come home, and she didn’t take the initiative to ask. She came alone to drink full-month wine today.

Jiang Huilan is now busy with the factory, leaving early and returning late every day.

She felt that since her daughter began her career, she spent less time at home and had less time to chat and talk, becoming increasingly independent.

Her husband said it was good, but she felt more and more uncomfortable, even more irritated lately. She hoped her daughter would settle down, find a man to marry, and lead a peaceful family life, but she was already like a bird that had flown away, unable to return.

She could only smile stiffly at her mother-in-law’s question, saying, "He’s been busy lately; he couldn’t even come home yesterday. As for whether he’ll come to the nephew’s full-month banquet today, it still depends."

She didn’t reveal their argument, and her words also prepared for the possibility of his absence.

But Zheng Zhen wasn’t pleased, "What can be so busy that he can’t even come to the big nephew’s full-month banquet? Really, call him. This is my grandsons’ only full-month banquet, and he, as the uncle, must attend..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Perhaps in her heart, the status of everyone else couldn’t compare to those two little ones.

Bai Li’s face turned unpleasant upon hearing that.

Wang Miaomiao stood three steps away, hearing this with her sharp ears, knowing things were bad. She quickly walked over to interrupt, "Mom, the gold lock charms you gave the two kids last time were so unique. Where did you get them?"

Zheng Zhen was indeed distracted by her words and smiled, "Of course, for my grandsons, only the best. You can’t buy such gold lock charms now; they’re old craftsmanship."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with nostalgia, "Those were from when I got married, my mother’s dowry to me. My mother wished me many children and great happiness, preparing ten gold lock charms for me. I have three children, gave each one. The remaining seven, I’ve always kept for my grandsons."

At this point, she glanced at Bai Li, perhaps intentionally, perhaps not. Wang Miaomiao felt uncomfortable at heart, realizing this implied that Jiang Huilan and Jiang Shulan, the two girls, would receive nothing...

This obvious favoritism, is it really okay?

It’s said that daughters belong to others and will get married, so why did her already deceased sister-in-law, Cheng Xue’s mother and Zheng Zhen’s daughter, receive one?

Wang Miaomiao glanced at Bai Li, whose face was entirely black.

Despite being daughters and offspring of the Jiang Family, how much prejudice did Bai Li face to be treated this way!

Wang Miaomiao swallowed, feeling she had gotten herself into trouble. Unreliable Zheng Zhen was too good at causing issues.

She regretted stepping in to mediate, thinking she could smooth things over with some random topics, only to dig herself into a deeper hole.

Yet unaware of the immense hurt she had caused, Zheng Zhen continued instructing Wang Miaomiao eagerly, "You’re very blessed. I knew it the first time I saw you, and indeed, you’ve given our Jiang Family chubby grandsons, and twins at that! You should strive more, have four in three years, six in five years. I still have five more gold lock charms saved for you..."

Wang Miaomiao wanted to disappear. Zheng Zhen was incredibly skilled at saying outrageous things. She couldn’t forget how much Zheng Zhen disdained her when she first joined the Jiang Family, as if even glancing at her was unlucky.

Four in three years, six in five years—were they treating her like a breeding sow? Even a sow can’t guarantee all its offspring are male...

Gold lock charms... haha...

Listening to her, Wang Miaomiao could only awkwardly smile. When she looked at Bai Li, she was staring venomously at Zheng Zhen. Sensing Wang Miaomiao’s gaze, she looked at her with the same gaze, giving her goosebumps and raising every hair on her back.

Wang Miaomiao feared an outburst regardless of the occasion. This was her son’s full-month banquet, and she didn’t want any disturbances. That’s why she proactively tried to mediate just now, but, unfortunately... she messed up.

What should she do now? Just as the farce was about to begin, Jiang Peng and Jiang Yan’s voices came from the door.

"Ah, sister-in-law, Mom, Big Brother, and Ah Yan are back." Wang Miaomiao smiled, "Everyone’s probably here. I’ll check the kitchen to see if we can start the banquet."

With that, she had already taken three steps away, quickening her pace as she left the room.

"Big Brother, you’re here. Sister-in-law and Mom are both inside. You should go see them; Mom says she misses you..." Wang Miaomiao’s eyes flashed with resignation.

She could not manage these two women; their issues were best left to the person who mattered to them, Big Brother.

Good luck, Big Brother. The road is long and arduous.

Jiang Yan saw something amiss in his wife’s demeanor. Hearing her encourage Big Brother to go in, he assumed Mom was causing trouble again.

Would she miss her son? As if...

Jiang Peng didn’t think much about it, assuming his mother genuinely wanted to see him. Since Mom moved back, he hadn’t visited her, feeling a bit guilty. He agreed immediately and headed into the room.

"What’s wrong?" Jiang Yan took a step closer to ask.

Wang Miaomiao sighed at him, "It’s a long story. How about you go in too? Listen to what they’re saying."

Wang Miaomiao pouted, a hint of gossip in her eyes, indicating for him to go in.

Jiang Yan smiled at her indulgently, saying meaningfully, "Alright, I’ll go listen for you, and tonight we’ll share all about it."

Wang Miaomiao caught his implication and remembered the morning conversation between Old Master Jiang and Mr. Jiang. She gave a captivating smile, raising her eyebrows slightly in challenge, "Alright, I’ll wait for you..." With that, she turned and walked away...

Jiang Yan, captivated by her gaze, felt his heart and soul soften. Watching her leave, he bit his lip, murmuring, "Little vixen, just wait."
