As soon as the call connected, Ding Rumei poured out all her grievances as if she had opened a floodgate.

“I went to buy cheap vegetables with good intentions, just wanting to save her some money, but she thought the things I bought weren't fresh. She said, ‘You, as her daughter-in-law, don't earn money yourself, so you don't know how expensive food is. You spend money recklessly and have no manners at all. I'm her cousin, and she's talked back to me countless times today.’”

Huang Meiling felt increasingly uneasy as she listened, and she interrupted Ding Rumei's continued spellcasting.

“Rumei, I asked you to go there to help out. Yingying’s lifestyle is indeed a bit different from ours. I gave you a lot of money, so you have to try to adapt to her lifestyle. Also, don’t try to save money when buying groceries; we don’t need that kind of money.”

Ding Rumei paused, holding the microphone. Wasn't it said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were natural enemies?

Why is it completely the other way around when it comes to her?

She was still unwilling to give up, and thinking of Xie Zhiyan who was still in the hospital, she gripped the microphone tightly and said, "I know all that you're saying, but your daughter-in-law doesn't know how to take care of people at all. I haven't even seen Zhiyan today because he's still in the hospital. In short, your daughter-in-law is no pushover. Aunt, you're being so good to her, but she might not appreciate it."

Huang Meiling, on the other end of the phone, frowned deeply upon hearing this.

She knew Shu Ying's personality very well. Last time, she saw Shu Ying taking meticulous care of Xie Zhiyan without even saying goodbye. Now the young couple even had a child. As the mother-in-law, she had no reason to question her at all.

Ding Rumei has caused so much trouble in just one day. Shu Ying, such a smart child, couldn't possibly not have noticed.

She felt a little anxious. She was already very busy with her research, and she couldn't take care of her two children herself, so she found a reliable person from her hometown to come over.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was not only unreliable, but also caused trouble for Shu Ying. The perfectly good girl changed completely as soon as she arrived in the city. Who could she complain to? Could Shu Ying think that she was deliberately causing trouble for her?

Huang Meiling was on high alert, while Ding Rumei continued her incessant chatter.

"If you ask me, we shouldn't have chosen such a pretty face as a daughter-in-law in the first place. Apart from being good-looking, she's completely useless. And those two children have no manners at all. If things continue like this, Shuying will probably corrupt these good children. Aunt, you should have let me come sooner. The children wouldn't have turned out like this."

"And then there's Zhiyan. All the money we worked so hard to earn has been squandered by Shuying. How did our family end up with such a daughter-in-law? If I say too much, people will think I'm talking badly about her. But if I don't say anything, I really can't stand seeing her bully your family like this."

Huang Meiling felt a wave of dizziness, and her temples throbbed with pain.

Ding Rumei was still smugly showing off what she had done that day, talking about how she had taught Shu Ying a lesson and how she had bought cheap vegetables. Huang Meiling almost couldn't catch her breath and couldn't hear anything the other woman was saying.

"Enough! Shut up!"

Huang Meiling has a very good temper and rarely gets angry. When her voice came from the other end of the phone, Ding Rumei was still a little incredulous.
