Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
Subconsciously, Yu Ting didn't let her husband and mother-in-law know that Song Xia had added her as a friend.
"Who is it?" Zhang Yuefang asked, her voice filled with urgency.
Yu Ting forced herself to remain calm: "Junk advertising."
"I told you not to always be on your phone, and to spend your time doing housework. When have I ever received these useless messages?"
Yu Ting bit her lip and remained silent. She was probably the one who did the most housework in the family. Not only did she have to go to work every day, but she also had to face a lot of housework after she came back from work. Her mother-in-law had never received these useless messages and really didn't look at her phone much because she spent her time playing cards!
As for her husband, she looked at his raised leg and felt a wave of disgust. He seemed like a respectable person before they got married, but she never expected him to be like this.
She felt sorry for herself, wondering why she had to meet such parents and in-laws.
She had considered rebelling, but she had no money and even her own parents weren't on her side. What should she do?
"We've arrived. It's really impressive." Zhang Yuefang looked around at the house that Song Xia had rented for Zhang Yuefen and the others. "The rent must be quite high."
“Your brother-in-law and I didn’t get involved; it was all arranged by Song Xia.”
"It's good that you're moving out, so you don't have to take care of those young people. I don't have that kind of luck. Yu Ting is a bit slow-witted, and I have to keep an eye on her for everything she does."
"Xiao Yu has a master's degree, how can he be so stupid?"
"Studying makes you stupid. You can't do anything else well except study. A woman will get married sooner or later, so what's the point of studying?"
“Sister, what you said really hit the nail on the head. That Song Xia, she insisted on sending that little brat to some early education institution and even arranged for someone to take care of her. Does she really think she's some kind of rich young lady? She always complains about me and your brother-in-law, saying that our lifestyle is bad. I have no way to explain myself.”
“She’s gone too far.” Zhang Yuefang said, feeling indignant for her sister. “This person just needs to be disciplined. If you can’t bear to see her like this, I’ll help you.”
"Maybe we should just give up. Her parents are gone. If you go and teach her, people will think we're bullying her."
"It's precisely because her parents are all dead that we, as elders, need to teach her even more about how to conduct herself in society. Sister, look at Yu Ting, she's become so well-behaved thanks to my teaching. If I say east, she wouldn't dare go west. That's how a daughter-in-law should be."
Looking at Yu Ting's silent appearance, Zhang Yuefen was honestly envious. She heard that Yu Ting did all kinds of things at home, so why couldn't Song Xia learn from her?
If Song Xia could become like this, wouldn't Xiao Yuan save a lot of trouble?
Zhang Yuefen pretended to hesitate: "Then you should help your older sister. If Song Xia doesn't listen, then let it go. Don't make things too ugly."
"You have to make a huge fuss about her life before she'll listen to you."
Yu Ting was taken aback again. So this was the way her mother-in-law usually dealt with her?
Because whenever she resisted, her mother-in-law would cause trouble at her company, and even bring her own mother along, forcing her to back down in order to restore peace to her life.
She couldn't help but wonder how Song Xia would respond.
While she was in the restroom, she sent a message to Song Xia, telling her to be careful and then hiding the message.
Song Xia sent her a reassuring emoji, but Yu Ting was not at all at ease, because looking back, Song Xia never seemed to have stood up for herself, and always put Xie Yuan first.
"Let's go and see her."
“She’s still at the company, with only two nannies there, so there’s nothing she can do there.”
"That's perfect. Let's teach those two nannies a lesson first. If they can't even manage the household, what are they good for at work? They should come back from the company as soon as possible."
Zhang Yuefen was secretly delighted. Let them make a scene, the bigger the better, so that Song Xia wouldn't be able to go to the company. Sure enough, her decision to call her sister over was the right one.
If things get too ugly, I can step in and try to mediate. That way, I can be seen as a good person, and Song Xia might even be grateful to me.
Aunt Liu and Liu Qian had already received the news in advance. Aunt Liu took Lingling out, leaving only Liu Qian, who was a formidable fighter, at home.
As soon as they entered the house, the whole family sat down casually. Zhang Yuefang ordered, "That little nanny, how come she has no sense at all? Quickly make some tea, and also a fruit platter, just bring a few pieces, and call Song Xia back."
Liu Qian rolled her eyes: "I'm Xiaxia's housekeeper, not yours. If you want tea, pour it yourself."
"Hey, you've gone too far! How dare you talk to me like that?" Zhang Yuefang put her hands on her hips, looking like she was about to punch someone.
"You're the Empress Dowager, I dare not speak to you. If you ask me to pour tea, will you pay me a salary?"
"I'll buy you an hour, just do as I say."
"How about the price?" Liu Qian crossed her legs. "Sister Xiaxia is paying me 15,000 a month. The work is easy and there are benefits. If I take on private jobs, I will not only risk being fired, but I will also have to put up with your temper. The price cannot be lower. Considering that you are the sister of Sister Xiaxia's mother-in-law, I will give you 8,000 per hour."
"Are you robbing me?!" Even if she were rich, Zhang Yuefang wouldn't waste money like that.
"You were the one who brought up the idea of buying and selling freely, so how did it become that I stole it? Being stingy is one thing, but why are you accusing me of such a big thing?"
"You wretched girl, you were born with a lowly fate, you deserve to be someone's nanny."
"You were born with a lowly fate, destined to kill your husband. Why didn't your mother-in-law beat you to death back then?" Liu Qiancai retorted immediately, unable to bear the injustice.
Yu Ting was stunned. No one had ever spoken to her mother-in-law like that before, and she had never seen her mother-in-law so angry.
"You dare to curse me? You little bitch." Zhang Yuefang rushed up to hit him, and Chi Jie, seeing his mother being bullied like this, also swung his fist menacingly.
"Come on, all of you, get on here!" Liu Qian quickly brandished her knife. "Anyone who doesn't want to die, come on up."
As expected, Zhang Yuefang stopped in her tracks: "I'm calling the police. You injured someone with a knife. I'm going to sue you until you go to jail."
"You're the ones who will die, and you'll be the ones in jail. After all, you outnumber me and I'm acting in self-defense. The surveillance cameras have captured everything clearly!" Liu Qian wasn't afraid at all, and she didn't believe these selfish people weren't afraid of death. After all, they had only recently started living a good life and were already valuing their lives!
"You're talking nonsense."
“Mom…” Yu Ting said softly, “She’s right.”
"You're still taking the side of outsiders?" Zhang Yuefang was furious and slapped him across the face.
Yu Ting was stunned by the beating. In the past, no matter what, only Chi Jie had ever hit her. Her mother-in-law had never laid a hand on her, let alone in front of outsiders.
Seeing her silent demeanor, Zhang Yuefen was incredibly envious. How could her sister be so lucky to have such an obedient daughter-in-law? If only Song Xia had even a fraction of that virtue.
It seems she was too lenient before, which allowed Song Xia to act so recklessly. She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted in the first place.
