"When has my wife ever bullied my mother? Isn't it all you who bully her because she's all alone and helpless?"

“And all that food was bought with money from my mother-in-law’s family. How could I pretend to be filial by using the things they bought for me?”

"It's one thing for us to be filial to our parents, but to expect our mother-in-law's family to be filial to our parents? What kind of people are we then?"

"Besides, brother and sister, neither of your families brought anything to show filial piety to your parents. What kind of impression would it make if word got out that your in-laws were showing filial piety to each other?"

"And then there's my little brother. Speaking of these things, I have to say something about you. You're the most unfilial one in the family."

"All the good food at home has ended up in your stomach. Why don't you think about saving some for your parents?"

"Your parents are so old, their lives have been so difficult. Why can't you be more considerate of them?"

Wei Baichuan felt that the person with the least right to say this was Wei Baidao; his silence wasn't due to ignorance.

Isn't he just eyeing his wife's things? I'm afraid that even if he takes them out, they'll all end up in Wei Baidao's pocket.

Wei Baidao was speechless, unable to utter a single word.

Is my second brother jealous of me? Thinking about this, I don't know why, but I feel a secret excitement that I can't explain.

"How can you talk to your younger brother like that? He's only doing this for your own good." Huang Cuifen was unhappy when she heard him say that her youngest son was a filial and good child.

“Mother-in-law, if you’re going to pretend, at least make it look convincing. Anyone can see through your little scheme.”

"I thought you had changed and were really taking care of Baichuan. I was so happy for nothing. Baichuan has already had it tough enough."

Suti only spoke after seeing that Wei Baichuan had almost finished eating.

I'm afraid she'll start a fight with the Wei family, and then Wei Baichuan won't be able to eat.

"Isn't it all your fault for corrupting us? Ever since you came to our house, you've made our home unbearable. I know you look down on our family."

"But don't forget, we are the second child's parents, and you also have to take care of us in our old age."

“But look at what you’ve done since you came in. You say one thing and you say another. You don’t call us ‘father’ and ‘mother’ properly. You talk to us like strangers. You call us ‘father-in-law’ and ‘mother-in-law’. You don’t care about us at all.”

"You even instigated your second son to turn against us. We know your family is powerful, but no matter how powerful they are, they can't escape reason."

"If word gets out that you're disrespectful to your in-laws, we'll see what happens to you. Even if your parents come, it won't make a difference."

Huang Cuifen looked at Su Ti with hatred in her eyes. Everything had changed since Su Ti came to their family.

"How is that being unfilial? I said that from now on, whatever the eldest brother and the younger brother do, our family will do the same."

"Don't keep saying I'm unfilial. I don't believe you. Do you think I'm someone you can't scare? You just want me to take out all my money and support the whole family. Is that what you call filial piety?"

"Dream on! Why don't you let your youngest son's family be like that? Oh, they only talk about being filial to their parents and how hard their parents have worked, but in the end, all the good food ends up in their own mouths."

"And mother-in-law, when it comes to being reasonable, don't you feel guilty?"

"Have you forgotten why your family married me when I fell into the water? I told you long ago that if I'm good, everyone's good. It seems you didn't take it to heart. Don't worry, you'll soon find out the consequences."

Suti thought of her parents, who would probably give the Wei family a big surprise soon.

"What do you mean?" Huang Cuifen was stunned. She felt that her second daughter-in-law's words had a hidden meaning.

"It doesn't mean anything, I'm just telling you that we won't shirk what we're supposed to do, and you can forget about anything that's not our responsibility."

"Don't talk about how difficult things are. Your difficulties weren't caused by Baichuan. If you want to complain, go find someone else."

Suti ignored these people; they just needed to wait a few more days before they could separate their households.

Once the family is separated, she'll be able to deal with them properly.

Otherwise, no matter what a family does, they will all prosper together or suffer together, which would be a losing proposition.

"Honey, don't worry, I won't let them trick me." As soon as the two returned to the house, Wei Baichuan hurriedly hugged his wife and assured her.

“I know they’re just using your parents’ name to control you. It will be fine as long as we separate our families.”

"By then, apart from the outward appearance of filial piety, we won't need to have any further contact. We can just close the door and live our own lives."

Suti was calculating the time in her mind; it would be soon.

The Wei family fell silent, and Wei Baichuan didn't care what they said.

They verbally berated him for being unfilial, but they couldn't really do anything about it.

The Wei family knew that if things really escalated, their actions would be untenable.

However, Huang Cuifen never felt that she was wrong. Even ten fingers are of different lengths. Who doesn't have bias?

Suti only interacted with them during meals; otherwise, he treated them like they didn't exist.

"Wife, I have to go out tonight." Another quiet night, Wei Baichuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

I originally planned to sneak out after Suti fell asleep, but after thinking about it, I decided to say hello to her first.

He was afraid that his wife would wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to find him, and he didn't intend to hide many things from her.

"Where are you going?" Suti was taken aback. Going out in the middle of the night, this was obviously not for good.

This didn't happen in my past life, I thought for a moment.

Even if he did, she wouldn't have noticed if he went out in the middle of the night, given her indifferent attitude at the time.

"Go make money." Wei Baichuan didn't dare look his wife in the eye.

He knew this was a bad thing, and he was afraid of seeing his wife's disgusted look. Nowadays, nobody is unafraid of this.

"Is it speculation? Is it dangerous?" Suti thought of something when she saw his expression; she was only concerned about whether there was any danger.

Thinking back to the time in her past life when she was in postpartum confinement, he secretly brought back the food.

She didn't think much of it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, those milk powders and soupy things were not something the Wei family could afford.

The Wei family wouldn't care about them; these were all things Wei Baichuan secretly got for her to nourish her body.

She had initially thought he only started doing those things after she became pregnant, but now it seemed he had been involved in those things for a long time. She really didn't understand this man at all.

“There is no danger. They secretly raised piglets in the air-raid shelter. I only go there to get a little meat every ten days or half a month. I cover my face and no one recognizes me.”

Wei Baichuan felt a warmth in his heart when he heard that his wife was only concerned about whether he was in danger.

He figured that if his parents found out, they would only make him hand over the money he had earned, and if something happened to him, they would definitely stay far away from him.

"Did you find out what kind of connections you're making over there? And does anyone else know what you're doing?"

Su Ti thought that Wei Baichuan was also cautious in his previous life; at least before her accident, nothing happened to him.

Thinking about it this way, she felt a little more at ease. She didn't want him to take this risk, but she also knew that this was a way out for him.
