'This old woman always has a comeback for me,' Li Lanzhen thought. 'She used to go on and on about how "life is about movement," but now it's "life is about stillness"?'
But she didn't dare to openly oppose the old woman. After all, she was living in Tang Li's house. And Tang Li was close with her grandparents, while treating her, her own mother, with plain indifference.
The thought made Li Lanzhen's resentment flare up. She had gone through the hardship of childbirth, only to bring a little debt collector into the world. From a young age, Tang Li had been close with her grandparents and rarely showed any affection for her own mother.
Li Lanzhen never stopped to think that if she hadn't shown favoritism first, Tang Li might not have become so cold toward her. But some people never look for reasons within themselves; it's always someone else's fault.
