Gu Juntao suppressed his anger and advised, "As long as I like you guys, why care about others! If you keep being this soft, when our daughter grows up, she’ll be bullied by her grandma too. Do you think she’ll have a good personality then? Such a small child, she relies on you to protect her, yet you remain so weak. When faced with problems, all you do is cry. What if our daughter ends up like you? You need to toughen up, or else if my daughter is wronged in the future, I’ll spank your butt!"
With the resolve of a mother, Yang Hongying suddenly understood. She ordered herself to toughen up and no longer allowed herself to be bullied by her mother-in-law as before.
When Wang Guihua came to create trouble again, she was met with lukewarm resistance. Initially, there was some nervousness and unease, but once the first step was taken, everything became easier. Several overt and covert confrontations ensued between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but with Gu Juntao’s support, Wang Guihua was repeatedly defeated, raging with anger.
Yesterday, Yang Hongying sent some items from Gu Juntao’s workplace to the compound. Originally a good deed, but it didn’t receive a proper appreciation.
When Wang Guihua saw the items, she thanked indifferently and then sarcastically commented, "In the past, these items were directly sent to us, but now we have to settle for your leftovers. Truly, marry a wife and forget about your mother."
Yang Hongying, holding back her anger, said, "Gu Juntao sends them here first because our home is closer to his workplace. Whether these items are leftover or not, why don’t you come back with me to take what you want, or tell him to deliver them next time so you can choose first."
"I don’t want them! I don’t lack anything; pity for you guys, better keep them for yourselves. Eat well, so your daughter absorbs some nutrition and doesn’t get sick easily. Oh, I forgot, you don’t breastfeed, eating would be wasted, the child drinks formula, right? With such a heavy economic burden, I won’t take them." Wang Guihua feigned understanding.
Yang Hongying sprang up, grabbed those things, and said, "Since you don’t want them, I’ll take them back. Mama never lacks anything, so I won’t bring any more items over in the future!" After saying this, she walked away.
Wang Guihua was so angry that she stopped her, shouting that she was ungrateful and disrespectful, quarreling with her mother-in-law, and being a widow who hadn’t given birth to a son, unworthy of being her daughter-in-law! She was ruining her own life!
Yang Hongying sneered, "Even if I’m immature, it was your son who came running to my workplace begging me to marry him. If you’re capable, have your son divorce me! I won’t have a word to say. Leave him with the child, but if you’re incapable, you’ll just have to watch me ruin your son!" With that, she slammed the door and left!
Wang Guihua trembled all over and called Gu Juntao to complain, "Control your daughter-in-law! She’s daring to argue with me now! She increasingly disregards me, even provoking me saying you wouldn’t divorce her!"
"Mom, I’m very busy here, don’t stir things up."
"What kind of attitude is that!"
Gu Juntao said, "Don’t I know what kind of person Yang Hongying is? Unless you provoke her excessively, she won’t treat you like that. Calm down, will you? You’re a grandmother now, how can you still have such a temper? Don’t call me during work, even our boss is unhappy about it." After saying this, he hung up. He laughed for a while; my wife is something, to make mom that angry.
Wang Guihua not only received no comfort but was rebuked instead, leaving her lying on the sofa, muttering angrily.
Gu Zishan, knowing the situation, had no kind words either, saying she’s meddling too much. They are married and have children; what are you trying to achieve? Do you really hope they get divorced so you can find another one?
He coldly stated, "Your dislike isn’t effective! They are living well together; what are you mixing in for?"
"She hasn’t conceived a boy!"
Yang Zhen smiled, "Indeed. If he waits any longer, Gu Junming might get anxious." He was the first among them to find someone, yet the last to marry.
Han Dong twirled his pen, thought for a while, then said, "Then I’ll just send it directly. Act first and report later, she can’t throw it out, right?"
He’s turning twenty-six this year, with parents pushing him and constantly urging marriage. Han Dong wasn’t worried, even though he wasn’t married, he never lacked women.
Why bind oneself with someone? As for the children his parents hope for... with money, how could there be a lack of children?
Regarding feelings for Sun Chan, Han Dong was at ease, if he couldn’t forget, then don’t forget, seeing her often was nice.
The news of Sun Chan’s wedding quickly reached the Yang family, and upon hearing it, Yang Xiong exclaimed "Good!" three times.
"Gu Junming is quite good!" He took out five thousand yuan from his savings book and handed it to Zhao Jieyun to prepare for the daughter’s wedding.
Zhao Jieyun hurriedly said, "That’s too much, Dad." Although divorced from her husband, she didn’t change the way she addressed him; despite Yang Dongfeng’s rudeness, the father-in-law was still good.
"What’s the harm! My lifetime savings are meant for the children! Buy some good furniture and appliances."
Zhao Jieyun smiled, "Dad, you mean well, but they still live in military housing among others. If it’s too differently decorated inside, it will only lead to gossip. It’s better not to be too flashy. I initially wanted to set up some good things for her, but Sun Chan refused them."
