Yunâs mother also heard some spite in Yunâs fatherâs words, but he wasnât wrong.
âJust now, Liu Hehua said I was biased, almost accusing me of using Hanhanâs money to subsidize the eldest and second childâs families.â
Yunâs father took a deep breath, âItâs true.â
Yunâs mother looked at Yunâs father in surprise, not expecting him to see her that way.
âYouâve always been ignoring Hanhan, and I see it very clearly. You use Hanhanâs money to subsidize the eldest and second childâs families. Hanhan has been so good to you, whether it was before her downfall or after, she handled most of the household chores. After she left, you even complained for a long time. Wife, I want to ask you, did the eldest childâs family come to help you, or did the second childâs family ever lend a hand? Youâve been spoiled by Hanhan, spoiled to the point of not wanting to do any household chores.â
The older the wife gets, the more muddled she becomes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the past, when taking Hanhanâs money to help the eldest and youngest daughters, he turned a blind eye, thinking Hanhan wasnât married yet. But when Hanhan had her trouble, he saw clearly the true nature of these ingrates.
The second childâs house was mostly paid for by Hanhan, yet when Hanhan fell, the first to spread rumors was his daughter-in-law. If she truly remembered Hanhanâs kindness, in consideration of the house, she shouldnât have done such a thing.
But what was the result?
Afraid of being implicated, they made it clear who was separate.
Why didnât they make it clear when Hanhan hadnât run into trouble yet?
He was old and originally didnât want to worry about these matters, but then this situation arose.
Yunâs mother watched his increasingly distant figure, forced a bitter smile, and thought, yes, compared to the eldest and second daughter-in-laws, Hanhan had been the best to her. She knew that before giving birth, whatever household chores she could do, she would do. But the eldest and second daughter-in-laws didnât do anything when they were pregnant. When compared, just like the old man said, she had been spoiled by Hanhan.
She was spoiled to only care about the present, without considering everything that would happen afterward.
Whether or not Hanhan would question her, she still had to face it, and she couldnât run away.
She walked heavily, heading towards home.
Before Yunâs father reached home, he saw smoke coming out of the chimney, surely Hanhanâs daughter-in-law was cooking.
Upon entering the yard, seeing it neat and clean, he knew Hanhanâs daughter-in-law had tidied it up. Hearing the babyâs cries inside the house, he knew Little Huzi was lying in the bed.
Yunâs mother followed Yunâs fatherâs steps, paused when she saw the yard, and also noticed the smoke rising from the chimney.
Yun Hao, seeing that Little Huzi had woken up, picked up the child to find his wife. As he stepped outside, he saw his parents standing in the yard under the harsh sun.
He called out with some distance, âMom, Dad.â
Then he carried the child towards the kitchen.
Seeing her son act so formally, Yunâs motherâs tears finally couldnât be held back, rolling down her cheeks. Her son must be blaming herâif he wasnât, how could he act like this?
Hearing the voices outside, Meng Yunhan in the kitchen also realized her in-laws had come back.
âWife, Little Huzi is awake.â His simple sentence was much warmer and more affectionate than the formal greeting he had used earlier.
âThen you take over the cooking, Iâll take Xiaohu back to the room to feed.â Meng Yunhan took the child, switching tasks with Yun Haoâhe took over the cooking while she went to soothe the child and breastfeed.
Passing through the yard, she looked towards Yunâs father and Yunâs mother, âMom, Dad, youâre back.â
Without waiting for a response, she carried the child into the house.
Yunâs father and Yunâs mother returned to the main house.
