"Boss, boss, come out here."

Yang Zhaodi has three younger sisters and one younger brother; she is the eldest. Everyone in the family simply calls her "Big Sister."

She was overjoyed to hear her mother's voice.

She quickened her pace and went out to greet her: "Mother, what brings you here?"

“Keep an eye on your two good-for-nothings. They don’t show me any kindness, and they keep crying even after I take it.”

She was happily munching on an apple as she spoke, holding one in each hand.

They were happily nibbling on the left and right sides at the same time.

Pearl and the other girl looked at her with tears streaming down their faces and a wronged expression.

Seeing this, Yang Zhaodi didn't feel sorry for the two sisters at all, and even scolded them, "Why are you crying? That's your maternal grandmother. What's wrong with her eating an apple?"

Sun Xiaomeng shook her head when she saw the scene outside the door.

In other families, the grandparents always dote on the children and let them eat all the good things.

Yang Zhaodi's mother, on the other hand, snatched food from the child and acted as if it were perfectly justified.

Yang Zhaodi, the mother, didn't even care about her child.

She turned around and saw Jiang Jinxiu looking somewhat bewildered, and told her directly, "My sister-in-law's family favors sons over daughters, and her mother likes to come and freeload."

The eldest sister-in-law always thought her mother was very kind and often came to visit her.

That apple was clearly meant for the two of them who stole the pearl.

I bet my sister-in-law's share of the family property will all go to her mother again.

Just as if to confirm Sun Xiaomeng's words, Yang's mother's voice came from outside: "I heard you've separated the family. Give me five hundred yuan; your brother needs it urgently."

Yang Zhaodi's younger brother, Yang Wei, was idle all day long, did nothing proper, and was lazy and gluttonous. Even his wedding dowry was raised by his older sisters.

"Where would I get that much money?" Yang Zhaodi was shocked when she heard it was five hundred yuan.

Yang's mother didn't believe her and glared at Yang Zhaodi: "Who are you trying to fool? The children are already eating apples, and Gu Laosan has money to buy a house and a car. I don't believe you don't have money."

The news of Gu Laosan buying a house and a car had spread throughout the village; she had already inquired about it before she arrived.

She didn't believe Yang Dongmei would be so biased as to only give money to Gu Laosan and not Gu Laoda.

This worthless bastard not only refuses to pay, but also dares to lie.

She quickly finished eating the apple in her hand and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

She stepped forward and slapped Yang Zhaodi twice: "You dare to lie to me."

She pushed Yang Zhaodi aside and stormed angrily into the main room.

"Bang bang bang..."

She ransacked the room, leaving clothes scattered everywhere.

Finally, she found a hundred-yuan bill. Excitedly, she put the money in her pocket and continued searching.

Yang Zhaodi's face was visibly swollen.

With tears in her eyes, she ran inside and grabbed Yang's mother's hand: "Mom, don't search anymore. You've found all the money, except for that one hundred yuan."

Yang's mother didn't believe it: "You good-for-nothing! I gave birth to you, and this is how you treat me? If you don't give me money, I'll find it myself."

She pushed Yang Zhaodi to the ground and continued searching, not missing even the corners.

"Oh my, my two dear granddaughters, why are you crying at the door?"

When Yang Dongmei, Gu Xiliang, and Gu Xijing returned from work, they saw Zhenzhu and Gu Xijing crying at the door.

Yang Dongmei felt heartbroken, and the two grown men watched with concern from the side.

"Grandma, Grandma stole our apples," Pearl and her sister said, choking back tears.

Yang Dongmei knew immediately that Yang Zhaodi's mother was here to beg for money again.

They came all this way, and then they even tried to steal food from the child.

Yang Dongmei was furious.

She comforted the child, and as soon as she entered the house, she heard a crackling sound coming from the main room.

Upon closer inspection, I exclaimed, "My God, is this a robbery?"

"Yang Xiaocao, you shameless bastard, what are you doing? Come out here!" Yang Dongmei roared angrily.

When Yang's mother saw that Yang Dongmei had stopped and was feeling annoyed, she came out.

"My dear in-law, you're back. I'm not trying to be mean, but you're being too biased. You gave Gu Laosan so much money after the family split, but only gave the eldest brother and the others a hundred? That's not right of you."

"What business is it of yours how our family divides its assets? Did you take money from the eldest son's family? Hand it over."

Yang's mother quickly clutched the pocket tightly and turned it to the side, afraid that Yang Dongmei would snatch it from her.

“This is a gift from my daughter to me.”

She spoke with such self-righteousness, as if she weren't the one who had just hit someone and rummaged through their belongings.

At this moment, Gu Laoda also walked in. He frowned and looked at Yang's mother: "Mother, that money is for Zhenzhu and the others to use when they start school. You can't take it all."

"What's the point of studying for two good-for-nothings? They'll just grow up, get married, and belong to someone else's family," Yang's mother said disdainfully.

"Yang Xiaocao, what are you saying? Your daughters are a waste of money, and I don't care if they don't study. My children, regardless of gender, all need to study, and you're not allowed to call them a waste of money. If I hear you say that again, I'll give you a broom!" Yang Dongmei said sternly in her defense.

Yang's mother knew that Yang Dongmei was fierce, and if she said she would hit people, she really would.

She came here for money, not to be beaten.

Just as she was about to ask for more money, she suddenly smelled a particularly fragrant aroma.

Jiang Jinxiu's bee pupae are ready.

Yang's mother suddenly felt incredibly hungry.

She disregarded everything else and followed the aroma to the kitchen.

Looking at the bowls of meat and vegetables cooked on the stove, my mouth watered.

"Third brother's wife, what are you cooking? There's so much, it smells so good."

She also attended Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu's wedding.

She recognized Jiang Jinxiu.

Jiang Jinxiu, however, disliked her very much.

She remembered that old woman as being foul-mouthed and greedy.

She made a fool of herself on their wedding day.

"Just some that are edible."

Yang's mother stared intently at the meat and vegetables, not listening to a word Jiang Jinxiu said.

She swallowed hard, stretched out her dirty hand, and wanted to try a piece first.

Jiang Jinxiu directly blocked the attack with her entire body.

Yang's mother's hand was pushed away.

She frowned, looking at Jiang Jinxiu with displeasure: "What do you mean? Can't I even have a piece? Are all you educated youth from the city so stingy?"

Jiang Jinxiu looked at her with a half-smile, before she could say anything.

At that moment, Gu Xichen's voice rang out.

"Honey, is the food ready?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he appeared at the kitchen doorway.

Yang's mother felt a little intimidated when she saw Gu Xichen.

Before he got married, Gu Xichen was the village bully, and he beat up almost every young man in the village.

Even people from the neighboring village had been beaten up by him.

Now that he's back from the military, he'll definitely be even more formidable.

She didn't dare to say much at this moment, let alone eat anything.

She just wanted to leave.

Inside the main room, Gu Xiliang frowned deeply as he looked at the messy room and his weeping wife on the floor.

After a long while, he said, "That money is meant for the children's education. You should take it back from your mother. If you still side with your mother this time, then you can go back with her."
