As expected of a senior executive in a foreign company, Lin Baiwei was extremely efficient. The next day, when Lin Shufang returned home from grocery shopping, she told Ye Qingqing about the news about the Zhao family.

“They had a huge fight yesterday. The old lady was about to drink toilet cleaner, but Xiao Jie’s dad stopped her.”

Ye Qingqing wasn't surprised at all. "Don't worry, this old lady hasn't enjoyed her good fortune enough, how could she be willing to die? She just wants to threaten her daughter-in-law. Mom, has Lin Baiwei compromised yet?"

"Who is Lin Baiwei?" Lin Shufang was stunned, and for a moment she couldn't connect it with Xiao Jie's mother.

"That's Xiao Jie's mom. I told you about her a few days ago. Xiao Jie's mom shares your surname, Lin Baiwei," Ye Qingqing said with a smile.

Lin Shufang slapped her forehead. "Right, right, I remember now. Xiao Lin was quite firm this time. She said she would get a divorce if the old lady didn't go back to her hometown. The old lady didn't even go grocery shopping today. When I passed by the Zhao family's house, I saw the old lady sighing in the yard."

"That's how it has to be. If Lin Baiwei had shown this courage earlier, Xiao Jie wouldn't have been raised so badly." Ye Qingqing felt relieved.

Lin Shufang shook her head. Although Lin Baiwei's threats to her in-laws were a bit much, the old lady was indeed not someone to be trifled with. If she were any more reasonable, how could Lin Baiwei have gone to such extremes?

As Lin Baiwei's daughter-in-law, she has been generous and reasonable enough. It was the old lady who went too far and took advantage of the situation. Moreover, Xiao Jie's father did not try to mediate between his wife and mother, which made the family atmosphere increasingly tense.

“However, if Xiaolin makes such a fuss, how will she and Xiaojie’s father get along in the future? After all, she is his biological mother, so she has to be more tactful,” Lin Shufang said.

Ye Qingqing sneered, "Mom, that family doesn't treat Lin Baiwei like one of their own, let me tell you..."

She told Lin Shufang that Xiao Jie's father had been using his salary to support his siblings over the years. Lin Shufang frowned. "Xiao Lin is too foolish. You have to keep a close eye on your husband's money. How can you let him spend it on his siblings? No wonder he's spoiled them. She's partly to blame."

Ye Qingqing nodded in agreement. Indeed, Lin Baiwei was too inactive. But the most hateful ones were Xiao Jie's father and his family. They were all like vampires, wishing they could drain Lin Baiwei's salary clean before they were satisfied.

Lin Shufang has always been very open-minded. Since Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo got married, she stopped caring about Lu Mo's money. In fact, Ye Qingqing didn't care at all, but Lin Shufang took the initiative to refuse, only asking Ye Qingqing to give her living expenses every month.

Ye Qingqing gives Lin Shufang 20,000 yuan a month for household expenses, and puts another 10,000 yuan in a drawer as a reserve fund, so that Lin Shufang can take more from the drawer if she needs more. But so far, not a single penny of the money in the drawer has been used. Lin Shufang even said that 20,000 yuan is too much, and she can't spend it all, so she asked Ye Qingqing to give her less.

However, Ye Qingqing always gave 20,000 yuan, and she would often buy gifts for Lin Shufang. Her mother-in-law was reasonable, and as a daughter-in-law, she also had to be sensible so that the family could be harmonious.

In the afternoon, Ye Qingqing finished her nap and was about to pick up Xiaozhu from kindergarten. She had just brought Xiaozhu home and hadn't even sat down for five minutes when Xiaojie's grandmother came running over angrily. She stood outside the yard and roared, hurling vulgarities and extremely offensive insults.

"You bastard, what business is it of yours what my family's affairs are? You're giving my daughter-in-law terrible advice, trying to send this old woman back to her hometown to farm! Ugh... I can't live like this... I can't go on living... My life is so miserable..."

The old lady was wailing and screaming in the courtyard, one cry after another, just like the old lady Ye back then.
