âYou canât eat anymore, have some water.â She took out her handkerchief and wiped Second Girlâs little hands.
When Yunâs Father came back at noon, Yunâs Mother quietly told him about the incident, asking him to talk to Eldest Son about it.
Yunâs Father was somewhat surprised, he really hadnât seen that Eldest Sonâs wife was such a person.
After lunch, Second Sonâs wife Zhao Fang brought Yun Minghan over. Thinking about how Eldest Sister-In-Law had handed her daughter over to Mother-In-Law to gain advantage, how could she miss out? Having had lunch, she brought her child over.
âMinghan, you must behave when youâre with Grandma.â
Yunâs Mother had a stern face, glancing at Zhao Fang, âThis is because you saw I didnât have to work, isnât it? Each of you is bringing your children over.â
Zhao Fang was somewhat confused, was Mother-In-Law angry?
In fact, she didnât know that she had unknowingly walked into the line of fire.
âMother, Iâ¦..â Zhao Fang tried to explain, but Yunâs Mother cut her off with a wave of her hand, âTake the child back home, how did you take care of them before? You can do the same now.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Had Mother-In-Law been eating gunpowder?
Who had offended Mother-In-Law?
Could it be something that Eldest Sister-In-Law said?
Yunâs Father glanced at Zhao Fang, âSecond Daughter-In-Law, take Minghan back home first.â
Now that Father-In-Law had spoken, Zhao Fang could only take her son back.
âWife, calm down, donât be angry. When I go to work later, I will talk to Eldest Son and Second Son, and ask them not to bring their children over.â
âEldest Sonâs wife probably holds a grudge against Third Sonâs wife.â Yunâs Mother sighed. It was all because of the teacherâs position, she really didnât know what was going through Eldest Sonâs wifeâs mind.
The Eldest Son too. Itâs been so many years, yet his wife hasnât changed at all, she hasnât made any progress.
âThird Sonâs wife will have to follow Third Son to the battlefield in the future.â Maybe the saying âthe distant relative is the fragrant one, the near one stinksâ was true. It should get better after a few years.
âThatâs true, but we canât let the daughters-in-law affect the brothersâ relationship.â Yunâs Mother wanted a harmonious family.
She didnât want any unpleasantness at home.
So, after her sons got married, she separated them.
Now all that was left at home was the youngest son, both older sons were aware of this.
But the daughters-in-law were a bit calculating.
They wanted to lay their hands on her money, but they didnât understand that when they needed money, who was it that sent the money back home?
They probably forgot all about it.
âNow that they have their own families, we canât force them to do things they donât want.â Yunâs Father knew what his wife was thinking. When the tree had grown big enough, it was time to split branches. Now that they had their own families, they, of course, would prioritize their own households.
The sons had become more and more lackadaisical over the years.
What could he do about it?
When Yun Hai found out about this, he had some complaints about his wife.
Because he had two disobedient sons and a precious daughter whom he cherished, but his wife preferred boys over girls. She wouldnât let his daughter eat good food, which made Yun Hai very angry.
âEldest Son, your mother is getting old. She fell ill when she gave birth to you, and now your third brotherâs wife is pregnant and your third brother isnât at home. Your mother is worried because your third brotherâs wife is so thin, sheâs afraid she might end up like the woman in the neighboring village, thatâs why she is not going to work and staying home instead.â
Yun Hai knew what had happened to the pregnant woman in the neighboring village. Because of the farming work, the woman accidentally fell and started bleeding heavily. There was no one at home and by the time the family returned from work, both the woman and her unborn child were dead.
