“I am your daughter, it is my duty to be filial to you. You can’t morally blackmail Nian Gao’s mother. You have no right to do that. Don’t say these things in front of me again. I don’t like to hear them!”

Yun Jin heard about the argument between the mother and daughter, but she didn't care.

I know that Li's mother is not clear-headed.

As long as you know Li Aimei isn't stupid, that's enough.

When Li Aimei saw Yun Jin, she awkwardly explained, "That's just how my mom is. She likes to nitpick and always feels that it's her duty to be nice to others. Sister-in-law, don't be angry and don't take it to heart."

Yun Jin nodded: "I know, it's just that you're caught in the middle and it's difficult for you."

Li Aimei's nose tingled with emotion: "Sister-in-law, if I don't come back after graduation, will you think I'm unfilial?"

Yun Jin shook her head: "I don't think so. You're all grown up now. You should have your own thoughts and choices. Leaving your parents is inevitable. As long as you think it's good for you, that's fine."

"Your mother has your older brother. You're a girl, so just take care of yourself!"

Li Aimei nodded thoughtfully. Her mother was only thinking about using the money she earned to supplement the family income. She wanted to take all the money from selling barbecue this month and not give her a single penny.

Why can't she spend the money she worked so hard to earn?

Li Aimei didn't want to pour her heart and soul into this family anymore, and in the end, she would still be scolded by her mother for giving birth to her in vain, for siding with outsiders, and for embezzling money and being unfilial to her parents.

Every time Li Aimei saw her mother's face like that, she felt increasingly less and less at home.

My sister-in-law is right. She's grown up and should have her own life, instead of having her wings clipped and being tied to her mother's side.

Li Aimei secretly decided that after graduation she would work in Beijing, neither returning to her hometown nor to her current residence.

She was willing to stay in Beijing, away from the suffocating home she lived in.
