Chapter 29 I Don't Believe

Yao Shula already knew that the people at the old house definitely weren't after the courtyard they were currently living in.

That's the Shu family's property. No matter how shameless these people in the old house are, they wouldn't dare to openly covet the Shu family's property.

Yesterday, Yao Shula realized that Yao Guohua was definitely after the house in the old mansion.

Yao Guohua insisted on having a room in the old house, saying that he wanted to leave the old house to his son Yao Shuli.

After being chased out of Yao Shula's yard with a kitchen knife that day, they wanted to go back to the old house to stay that night.

As a result, he was kicked out by his aunt and uncle.

The reason given was that Song Yuling had a bad reputation, and they couldn't let such a person into the Yao family's home, fearing it would affect the family's feng shui.

If Yao Guohua wants to go back to live on his own, that's fine!

But bringing Song Yuling along is not an option!

When Yao Shuxin and Yao Shuli heard that they weren't after their room, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

“That room? You can stay there if you want!” Yao Shuxin immediately agreed.

“Exactly! Even if we don’t live here, we’ll just be raising rats!” Yao Shuli also said that he didn’t care.

"That's the house your father left you!" Grandma Yao reminded her from the side.

Yao Shuli didn't say anything, she just lowered her head and ate her steamed bun.

Yao Shula knew that Yao Guohua was just saying it for show.

On the surface, it's said that this room was fought for by Yao Shu, but actually...

In the end, he gave the house to Song Yuling's son...

Since the house won't end up in the Yao siblings' hands anyway, why not find Yao Guohua something to do...?

"Aunt, as you know, this house... ultimately belongs to my father."

"Have you asked him what his opinion is?" Yao Shula asked deliberately.

Grandma Yao and her aunt both gave a cold laugh.

"It doesn't matter whether you ask him or not. He said the room was meant for Shuli, so we just need to ask Shuli's opinion."

Don't worry about your dad's side...

As long as Shuli agrees, that's fine.

"Shuli, do you agree to let your fourth brother borrow your room for his wedding?" Grandma Yao looked at Yao Shuli.

Yao Shuli nodded immediately.

"Of course I agree! Fourth Brother! We don't have a place to live in that house right now, why not lend it to us!"

Grandma Yao then nodded.

"Alright, as long as Shuli agrees, that's good. Take some time to tidy up the house and get ready for Qingnian's wedding!"

Aunt nodded immediately.

Although she achieved her goal, her aunt still felt uneasy.

When I first spoke up, I did indeed have my eye on that courtyard over there.

That courtyard is quite large; it would be a waste for just the three siblings to live there.

At the time, I thought I should test the waters first. If the three siblings were even slightly unsure, I would use the excuse that I was worried and that I would feel more at ease if someone was taking care of them.

To everyone's surprise, the three siblings refused right away.

Leaving absolutely no room for maneuver...

Thinking about this made Auntie feel even worse.

Looking at the three siblings and the child they brought, who were eating steamed buns one after another, the aunt felt even more aggrieved.

"It's so much easier to be a wife these days. Everyone teaches you everything, and you get everything done for you."

Even the postpartum period there was better than what we had back then.

During postpartum confinement, I did nothing but eat and sleep.

"Unlike us back then, when I was in postpartum confinement, I was back to work on the third day." Auntie suddenly said.

Yao Shula was taken aback at first, and then she saw that her third sister-in-law, Zhong Xiaochun, had her head down and was not saying a word.

My third sister-in-law had just given birth at the beginning of the year and was in postpartum confinement. Because her mother came to take care of her, she insisted on keeping my third sister-in-law in bed for a whole month.

They don't let her do anything; she just eats and sleeps all day.

My aunt couldn't afford to lose her temper in front of her in-laws.

But after the postpartum period, her aunt gave her sister-in-law a lot of hard time.

They talked quite a bit about it.

It's hard for Yao Shula not to think that bringing this up again today is an attempt to make a fuss over something else.

Thinking of this, Yao Shula immediately blurted out a comment.

"I don't believe it!"

The diners were all taken aback.

Don't believe it? Don't believe what?

"Shura, what are you saying? What do you mean you don't believe it?" Grandma Yao asked quickly.

Yao Shula finished eating the steamed bun in her hand, and only after confirming that she was definitely not hungry today did she speak with a smile.

"My aunt said she got out of bed and went back to work on the third day after giving birth."

I definitely don't believe that.

Auntie, why don't you have another child? Let us see how you manage to get back to work in the fields after just three days.

"Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving!"

Everyone was stunned...

Aunt opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

Yao Shula, however, spoke up again.

"Aunt, you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. My third sister-in-law was able to have such a comfortable postpartum period, which must be because of your support as her mother-in-law."

If it weren't for your support, would Third Sister-in-law be able to just lie there without eating?

So, it's because my third sister-in-law is lucky to have met such a good mother-in-law like you.

Aunt, in the end, it all comes down to each person's fate.

You see, if only you had a mother-in-law as understanding as yourself...

"Oh dear, I misspoke, Auntie, I'm so sorry!"

As if she had just realized that Grandma Yao was her aunt's mother-in-law, Yao Shula immediately shut up and stopped talking.

My aunt also started to regret it.

Why did you speak without thinking? Saying that you got out of bed and went back to work just three days after giving birth is a veiled way of saying that your mother-in-law is bad and a mean-spirited mother-in-law.

Everyone then looked at Grandma Yao.

Grandma Yao looked furious. After putting another red bean bun into Xiao Tiantian's bowl, who was already full, she immediately spoke to her aunt.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, how can you lie so much!"

Every time you were in postpartum confinement, I took meticulous care of you.

"You made me get out of bed and work just three days after giving birth? Is this how you spoil my fun when we're out?" Grandma Yao immediately yelled.

"Mom, I didn't... I didn't..." Auntie wanted to explain further.

"So many people are listening! You're blatantly lying! You're a liar, and you'll ruin this family sooner or later."

I'm still here, and you're already saying this about me. Who knows what you'd say about me when I'm not here...

"I can't live like this anymore! I've worked my whole life like a slave, and this is how I get slandered like this..."

Grandma Yao immediately slapped her thigh and started wailing.

Everyone in the room rushed over to try and persuade them...

Yao Shula and her siblings all got up and went home.

Why aren't you going home after you've eaten? Why are you listening to the Yao family arguing here?

Hehe, after this commotion, I doubt anyone from the Yao family will ever think of inviting the siblings over for dinner again!

However, the next day, Grandma Yao still asked her third sister-in-law to bring over a basket of steamed buns and dumplings.

In addition, the third sister-in-law also bought candy and melon seeds for the three siblings.
