Shen Mao'an not only got a cold reception from Grandma Shen, but also failed to please Grandpa Yao and Shen Jiayin. She went home, feeling downcast. Her smart husband avoided her. Her six-year-old daughter grabbed her hand, asking if she went to see Jiayin, wanting to follow along. She said that she had heard from other kids today that Jiayin went to the village's primary school, and Shen Dongdong had already called Grandpa Yao "brother-in-law".
Doesn't this mean that Sister You is rising step by step? What about me?
Shen Mao'an thought, surely she wasn't the only one who couldn't swallow this. Shen Xiaogui was snubbed by Grandpa Yao, Xu Xiuqin was equally frustrated; could Xu Xiuqin take this lying down?
Thinking about it slightly improved her mood. People thrive on schadenfreude. When someone shares your misfortune, it immediately balances the heart.
