She was afraid that Meng Mingwei would not agree, so she could only play out of touch.

The second daughter, Meng Wanqing, and her family of three came back. As soon as Meng Wanqing entered the door, she showed off her daughter Tao Shuna, who was admitted to the doctorate. Meng Mingwei could only express congratulations and said nothing more.When Li Yijin arrived at Zhou Dao's hometown, Grandma Zhou placed a brazier at the door, indicating that Li Yijin and Zhou Dao were in conflict with each other and needed to cross the brazier so that they could have a smooth future in the coming year.

Zhou Zhou didn't want to wrong Li Yijin and wanted to stop Grandma Zhou's superstitious behavior, but Grandpa Zhou solemnly said from the side that if they didn't cross the brazier, they would disperse directly.Li Yijin didn't want to break up with Zhou Zhou, so she could only do as asked, stepped over the brazier and entered the house.As soon as they entered the house, Grandma Zhou asked Li Yijin to drink another bowl of water with chicken blood. Zhou Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to pour the water so that Li Yijin wouldn't drink it. As a result, Grandma Zhou almost fainted, and Grandpa Zhou once againLi Yijin had no choice but to swallow the threat that they were not allowed to be together.

During the meal, Li Yijin greeted Zhou Zhou's extended family politely and prepared a gift for everyone. But when she finally took out a gift for Zhou Zhou's mother, Grandpa Zhou got angry.Grandpa Zhou blamed Li Yijin for mentioning Zhou's mother as a broom star. He also thought that Li Yijin was as bad as Zhou's mother, so he said some unpleasant words and wanted to drive Li Yijin out.Grandma Zhou fainted again from anxiety. Zhou Zhou wanted to speak for Li Yijin, but Grandpa Zhou threatened Zhou Zhou with Grandma Zhou's condition and forced Zhou Zhou to kick Li Jinyi out.

Li Yijin could only hide there and shed tears.After Li Yijin entered Zhou's house, she sent a voice message to Meng Mingwei, explaining that she would not go home for the New Year.When Meng Mingwei learned that Li Yijin was not coming back, he scolded him unhappily. Qiao Haiyun, who felt sorry for Li Yijin, only felt that Li Yijin came back late to prevent Meng Mingwei from scolding Li Yijin.The third child, Meng Yian, came back and brought expensive gifts to everyone in the family. Everyone opened the gifts happily. Only Meng Mingwei was sad and busy in the kitchen.

Meng Yian and Meng Mingwei asked about Li Yijin's situation. Meng Mingwei then told what happened between Li Yijin and Zhou Zhou. She thought that Li Yijin didn't even know about Zhou Zhou's family situation, so he went back to his hometown with Zhou Zhou to celebrate the New Year. The next step would definitely beShe was rushing to steal her household registration certificate to obtain her household registration certificate, so she had a few quarrels with Li Yijin, but she didn't expect that Li Yijin would just stop coming back.Meng Yian comforted Meng Mingwei a few words, helped prepare dinner, and the family began to celebrate Qiao Haiyun's birthday lively.

At the dinner for Qiao Haiyun's 80th birthday, because Li Yijin was not around, Qiao Haiyun didn't allow a group photo to be taken. Everyone had a very unpleasant meal. Fortunately, Meng Yi'an was trying to smooth things over with nice words, so the meal was not unpleasant.And scattered.On the way home, Meng Wanqing and Tao Shuna asked about Li Yijin, but Tao Shuna was busy sending WeChat messages to her boyfriend and had no time, so Meng Wanqing had to change the topic to love.Tao Dalei heard that his daughter was pursuing Zhang Xiaoyan, whom he liked before, and wanted to give him some advice. Meng Wanqing interrupted him directly, not giving him a chance to come up with ideas.

Tao Shuna returned home, and Meng Wanqing wanted to sleep in the same room as Tao Dalei. Tao Dalei was about to ask about Bao, but when he heard that Meng Wanqing was going to sleep with him, he happily went to take a shower and waited for Meng Wanqing to return to the room.Meng Wanqing did not enter the house very late. Tao Dalei waited until he fell asleep and discovered that Meng Wanqing was sleeping on the floor alone at dawn.Tao Dalei wanted to squeeze into Meng Wanqing's bed and have some intimacy with Meng Wanqing, but he unexpectedly was rejected by Meng Wanqing.Meng Wanqing blamed Tao Dalei and refused to go to the hospital for treatment when she was not feeling well. She had been deceived by Tao Dalei many times, so she didn't believe Tao Dalei at all.

After Tao Dalei was scolded by Meng Wanqing, he angrily told Meng Wanqing about giving his daughter a bag. He asked Meng Wanqing to pay for his mother's grave.Meng Wanqing blamed Tao Dalei for not being filial to Tao's mother when she was alive. After she died, she only came to pay respects to repair the grave every year, and she was determined not to pay for it.Tao Dalei quarreled with Meng Wanqing angrily. Tao Shuna heard the commotion and knocked on their door. Tao Dalei and Meng Wanqing then cleaned up the room and went out to explain to Tao Shuna.

Li Yijin was kicked out by the Zhou family, and she could only carry her luggage unhappily and return to her home.When Meng Mingwei saw Li Yijin coming back, he sarcastically blamed Li Yijin, remembering to go home and bring a bowl of hot glutinous rice balls to Li Yijin.Just as Li Yijin was about to eat glutinous rice balls, Meng Mingwei asked Li Yijin about his visit to Zhou's house, which made Li Yijin suddenly lose his appetite.Li Yijin refused to eat glutinous rice balls, saying that he didn't like eating glutinous rice balls. Meng Mingwei blamed Li Yijin. After getting together with Zhou Zhou, everything changed, which made Li Yijin even more unhappy.

Meng Yi'an left Qiao Haiyun's house with a family of three early in the morning. Qiao Haiyun believed that her third son-in-law, Qiu Xia, was her most trustworthy son-in-law. She held his hand and warned him, which made Meng Yi'an feel very uncomfortable.After leaving the community for a while, Qiu Xia asked the taxi to pull over and got out of the car first, because he and Meng Yian had divorced and Meng Yian was going back to Shanghai to work, and he did not plan to go to Shanghai.Qiu Xia came back to act with Meng Yian. He wanted to ask Meng Yian to leave his daughter Qiuqiu under his care, but Meng Yian refused, so he could only continue acting in front of Qiuqiu.

Li Yijin went to apologize to Qiao Haiyun. Qiao Haiyun was afraid that Li Yijin would be wronged, so he asked Li Yijin to use her request that no one should go home for the New Year next time to refuse her boyfriend's request to go home for the New Year.
