The old lady's earnest advice completely convinced Ye Zhiguo, leaving him feeling both ashamed and guilty.

My mother was right. It's really inappropriate for Ye Lan to stay at home all day. If I were a man, I wouldn't want to marry a girl who is in poor health and doesn't have a job!

"Mom is right, let Ye Lan go to work tomorrow!"

Ye Zhiguo's words chilled Shen Yanhong and Ye Lan to the bone, leaving them feeling as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"You're not allowed to go! Ye Zhiguo, if you won't raise Lan'er, I will!" Shen Yanhong stood up and shouted, looking angrily at Ye Zhiguo.

She finally tasted the cruelty of this man.

How could you be so heartless to Lan'er?

The old woman glared with her triangular eyes, pointed at Shen Yanhong's nose, and cursed, "You support her? How much do you earn a month? You can only support your own slut. Your illegitimate daughter and son are all supported by my son. Even your job was arranged by my son. What kind of ability do you have..."

"Lan'er and Xiaohua aren't wild, they're both Zhiguo..."

Enraged, Shen Yanhong lost her temper and was about to reveal her children's true parentage when Ye Zhiguo's expression turned cold, and he slapped her across the face.

"Smack!"

The crisp, bright sound of the slap stunned everyone. Shen Yanhong spun around several times, lost control of her body, bumped into the corner of the octagonal table, and fell to the ground.

A red mark appeared on her forehead, with traces of blood seeping out. Shen Yanhong was completely unaware of it, and stared at Ye Zhiguo in disbelief.

She'd been entangled with Ye Zhiguo for so many years. Although they'd had their arguments and disagreements, Ye Zhiguo had never laid a hand on her and had always treated her and their children well. But now…

"You hit me?" Shen Yanhong murmured sadly.

The old woman was startled, but she quickly recovered and retorted, "Disobedient women deserve a beating! You, a slutty widow with two burdens, are lucky to have married my son. You dare to talk back to him? You're a slut..."

"Mom!"

Ye Zhiguo called out, and the old lady shut up, but still gave Shen Yanhong two sharp glares.

One slap is too lenient on this slut. It would be best to divorce her, find a virgin, and have her give birth to a grandson.

"It's settled then. Ye Lan will go to work tomorrow!"

Ye Zhiguo looked at Shen Yanhong with a warning look. He almost said it several times, and in front of Ye Qingqing. This woman really needs to be taught a lesson. Does she really think that he, Ye Zhiguo, has to stay with her for the rest of his life?

snort!

If it weren't for the fact that this woman had given him a son and a daughter, he would have found someone else long ago!

Shen Yanhong felt a chill run down her spine under Ye Zhiguo's cold gaze, and regret welled up inside her.

It's only three years away, why is she so impatient?

If she really angered Ye Zhiguo, she and Lan'er would definitely have a hard time!

She was also unwilling to let that large sum of money be enjoyed by another woman. She was the one who found out about that money. If it weren't for her, how could Ye Zhiguo have married Xu Yali?

"I understand. I'll do more housework from now on so Lan'er can go to work." Shen Yanhong got up on her own, extremely docile.

"mom……"

Ye Lan was heartbroken and looked at Shen Yanhong with disappointment, feeling as if she had been forgotten by the whole world.

“Lan’er, listen to your grandma and dad. Your grandma is right. It’s not good to stay at home every day. I was wrong before. You will go to work with Zhao Di tomorrow.”

Instead, Shen Yanhong tried to persuade Ye Lan, which eased Ye Zhiguo's expression considerably. What pleased him most about Shen Yanhong was her pragmatism.

Unlike Xu Yali, that disobedient woman.

Hmph, those who don't listen to advice never live long!
