"Tell me what's going on. It's getting late."

Li Haiyan glanced at the clock on the wall: 6:50, is this considered late? After thinking about it, she decided that today is better than tomorrow. She might as well talk about this matter first and see what Feng Jianjun means.

"Jianjun, I came to see you today because I have something. You know I love my daughter, and I missed Cuihua during the past two weeks of separation. Plus, you're busy at work, so I wanted to move in with you two. That way, you two don't have to worry about household chores every day and can focus on working and earning money. I can take care of our family."

Feng Jianjun guessed it was this and immediately said, "No!"

Li Haiyan was still thinking about continuing her conversation when she heard Feng Jianjun say "No". She frowned and immediately asked Feng Jianjun, "Why?"

"There's no reason. After you get married, you are a member of my family. What's the point of your parents' family living in my house? Li Haiyan, don't think I don't know what you want to do. I am not your former son-in-law, and don't think of interfering with me in the same way as before. You want to live in my house? Impossible in this life! I will show you a clear way. Let your sons and daughters-in-law work hard. If everything goes well, you should be able to apply for a house next year." After saying this, Feng Jianjun stopped talking.

I've already told you the truth, whether you listen or not is up to you. Once you're married, you belong to your husband's family. Your family wants to live in your husband's family? No way!

What Feng Jianjun said was indeed logical, and it made sense no matter where he was brought up. If Li Haiyan were living alone with her daughter, it would be easier to explain. Since they were only children, if she didn't support the elderly, who would? Right? But the problem now was that Li Haiyan wasn't alone; she had a whole family: three sons, three daughters-in-law, and a whole bunch of grandchildren living together. Most people, not just Feng Jianjun, would probably be reluctant to accept this.

Only that silly Chunwang was genuinely sincere towards his mother-in-law's family, but what did he get in return?

Li Haiyan was furious after being so clearly rejected by Feng Jianjun. She had never expected Feng Jianjun, who seemed so satisfied with everything, to treat her like this. She was Feng Jianjun's mother-in-law after all! Shouldn't he respect her?

Chunwang used to respect me very much, so why did things change after someone else became my son-in-law?

What I thought in my mind and said out loud didn't go in the right direction.

"Jianjun, I'm your mother-in-law. Why are you talking to me so disrespectfully?"

Feng Jianjun chuckled when he heard Li Haiyan's question: "You want people to respect you? Then you should do something respectable, right?"

"What have I done that you don't respect? Or is it that you married my Cuihua at such an old age and then asked her to cut off all ties with her family?"

"I didn't say that! Don't spread rumors about me here! What I'm saying is that it's impossible for your whole family to live in our house. Don't be lazy and expect me to support you! Also, I never said that Cuihua should break off contact with her parents' home. She can still go back to visit her parents' home during the Chinese New Year and the Mid-Autumn Festival." Feng Jianjun was a little angry because of Li Haiyan's questioning, and he said what was in his heart directly.

Li Haiyan now understood that Feng Jianjun didn't want to support their family at all. He also didn't allow his daughter to go back to her parents' home normally. She was only allowed to go home during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
