"Mom, I'm not trying to be mean, but how many of your family members are truly supportive? They're the kind of people who only care about you when they need you. You should have cut ties with them a long time ago."

I wouldn't even throw a banquet just for these sticky glues. It's pure wishful thinking to expect me to spend money and fawn over them.

"Let me tell you, don't you dare tell my aunt or my uncle's family about my family's affairs. If you don't say a word and bring them over, I won't give you any face anymore, I'll kick them all out."

Chen Hong's mother was almost brought to tears by her daughter: "You brat, are you even speaking human language?"

Your aunt, your uncle, and I share the same mother; we're direct blood relatives. How can you treat them like this?

Chen Hong retorted: "Yes, they are your direct blood relatives. It's your business if you have money and resources to fill their huge hole."

But I'm seated between them! We, the Chen family, have no relation to your Niu family.

My only direct blood relatives are you, my dad, my brother, my sister, and my son. I'm too busy taking care of them all to have the energy to chat with your blood relatives.

As a woman, it's not easy for me to earn money with my bare hands. Why don't you try to persuade my aunt and uncle to help me out a bit? I still have over ten thousand yuan in mortgage payments to make!

Chen Hong's mother was really angry. She didn't know if her eldest daughter had taken the wrong medicine these past few years, as she had been constantly going against her and wouldn't listen to anything she said.

Her sharp tongue hurt people's hearts. Before she got married, this girl was capable and considerate. She took care of everything at home and outside. She could earn money and was obedient. She was the most worry-free person for her.

She married far away, and her heart grew distant too. She always felt that her mother was biased, but isn't that the case in every family in the village?

Who doesn't rely on their son to care for them in their old age and see them off in their final days?

Once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a cup; she belongs to another family, and her children will bear another family's surname.

In other words, people visit each other for a meal during holidays and birthdays, and then go home after the meal. That's why there's the old saying, "Nephews and nieces are like dogs; they eat their fill and then leave."

Since ancient times, sons have been the pillars of the family and the ones who inherit the family's household registration.

A daughter who has the heart will also help her brothers in her own family, buy her parents some clothes, and give them some pocket money.

Those heartless women not only neglect their parents' families and don't call home for months, but they also go back to their parents' homes carrying large bags of things to take away.

She admitted that although she favored her son, she was not bad to Chen Hong and her sister!

Although she accepted their betrothal gifts, she still provided them with dowries. Compared to other parents in the village, she treated her daughter quite well.

I also helped Chen Hong take care of her during her postpartum period, so why is that brat still dissatisfied with me?

Chen Hong's mother cried, tears streaming down her face. Chen Hong and her sister-in-law were completely bewildered by her crying.

Chen Hong: There's no way to communicate with her! What did she do to upset her mother this time?

Chen Hong's sister-in-law quickly chimed in, "Mom, what are you doing? This is Xiao Hong's first time bringing her new son-in-law home, why are you crying?"

Anyone who didn't know better would think you have a problem with the I Ching! How are we going to meet again? My dad would be furious if he knew you were like this.

Besides, Xiaohong is right! My uncle and my aunt's relatives are just not cooperative. When your son bought a house, my husband and I couldn't even borrow a penny from them, let alone Xiaohong.

They have no family ties whatsoever. Why are you still dragging Xiao Hong along to try and please them? Have you forgotten that last time you brought those people over, Chen Hong spent ten thousand yuan?

More than ten thousand! How much work would my dad and Chen Yi have to do to earn that much money? And these greedy relatives ate a free meal for them.

You got a lot of compliments from them, but Xiaohong lost so much money.

Ten thousand yuan is enough for Xiaohong to buy seafood and other rare treats for our family for a year. Xiaohong, don't you feel bad about spending money like that?

Your own daughter isn't as close as your own family, is she? You're still getting angry with Xiaohong over those unrelated people!

You're just making things difficult for your own children. When they see my uncle and aunt, their mouths are practically sealed shut.

Sister-in-law Chen Hong doesn't care about her mother-in-law; she's really outspoken when she's angry.

Chen Hong and her mother parted on bad terms, and the old lady didn't even show her face when she left with Zhou Yi.

On the way back to Jinan, Zhou Yi asked Chen Hong while driving, "Chen Hong, is your mother unhappy with me? She didn't seem happy at all tonight!"

Before Chen Hong could say anything, Yu Yang chimed in, "Uncle Zhou, don't worry, that's just how my maternal grandmother is. Apart from my uncle and my maternal grandfather, she's never satisfied with anyone."

Chen Hong: This brat, how can he talk so fast!

Zhou Yi: Is this something I can listen to? And in front of my newlywed wife! Is this guy trying to trick me?

"Cough, cough," Chen Hong glared at Yu Yang, "How can you, as his nephew, talk about your maternal grandmother like that? It's too much!"

"Every time I've come to your maternal grandmother's house, have I ever failed to make sure you eat or drink well? This isn't right of you!"

Yu Yang muttered under his breath, "My grandma always says my nephew is a dog, that he eats his fill and then leaves! I don't like her."

"Disliking someone doesn't mean you can disrespect your maternal grandmother; she's your mother's mother!"

You're a primary school student now, so you need to be careful in the future. There are some things you shouldn't say carelessly.

If you do this in front of outsiders, not only will they have a bad impression of your grandmother, but they will also laugh at you for being immature and impolite.

Yu Yang felt a little wronged: "I didn't lie, Grandma just doesn't like me. Besides, I haven't said anything bad about her to anyone else, I just talked to Dad Zhou."

Seeing her son's distress, Chen Hong softened: "Son, don't blame your maternal grandmother. Her generation was uneducated, narrow-minded, and had strong feudal ideas."
