"What's going on?" Mrs. Ye turned sideways, her back to the children, and asked softly, "Why are you quarreling with your mother-in-law right after you got back? Could it be because of us..."
"Madam You, it's not true." Lin Yumei wanted to explain, but when she saw the child, she held back and said, "Forget it. I'll tell you in detail tonight."
The two children didn't pay any attention to what the adults were saying and were just busy eating.
They have never eaten such delicious food!
Seeing the two children eating without even looking up, Lin Yumei suppressed her sadness and asked them with a smile, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious," Wang Ping said. "Mom, I've never eaten such delicious food before!"
Wang Hao nodded after hearing this.
Lin Yumei smiled and rubbed the two children's heads and said, "This is all Aunt Ye's craftsmanship. Mom is now going out with Aunt Ye to prepare the banquet!"
When Wang Ping heard this, she immediately looked up at Lin Yumei and asked, "Mom, will you be able to cook so deliciously in the future?"
"Then you're really making things difficult for me!" Lin Yumei was amused by her daughter's words. "But from now on, when I go out to prepare banquets, all the delicious food I bring back will be made by your Aunt Ye. Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Wang Hao laughed immediately.
Wang Ping clapped her hands when she heard this.
"It's late at night, don't eat too much. Eat a little and go back to sleep. I'll save the rest for you."
Lin Yumei took the two children downstairs to wash and let them go back to their room to rest. Then she took out a jar of wine from somewhere and brought it into the house.
When Mrs. Ye saw her attitude, she knew she was ready to have a drink and talk with her.
As expected, after two glasses of wine, Lin Yumei began to sigh.
"People say I'm lucky because I married a man with skills, and my mother-in-law can take care of the children, which allows me to go out and earn money to support the family.
"But who can I tell about these trivial matters at home?"
Mrs. Ye drank two glasses of wine with her before asking, "What happened just now? Wasn't your mother-in-law quite happy when we came? Why is she so angry with you the next moment?"
"Isn't it really because we're staying here? If it doesn't work out, we can go out and stay in an inn. Please don't make it difficult for yourself."
"Sister-in-law." Lin Yumei drank a few glasses of wine and changed her address back to normal, "It's really not because of you.
"To put it bluntly, even if my mother-in-law is a bit tactless, she knows that the reason we can make money now is all thanks to your family's support. No matter how much she throws a tantrum, she won't dare to show it to you.
"Alas, my mother-in-law is good in every way except that she is too stingy.
"She's not only stingy with me, but also with the children and herself.
"Luckily, I'm a kitchen helper and can often bring some food home. Otherwise, we'd hardly see meat on the table."
Mrs. Ye was surprised when she heard this and said, "Isn't that true? You and your wife earn money, and there are only an old man and two children at home. You should be living a good life!"
"Haven't you seen my two children? They are thin and short compared to their peers.
"Wang Ping is one year older than Qingtian, but she looks like Qingtian's age."
Mrs. Ye was surprised to learn that Wang Ping was actually older than Qingtian, and they looked almost the same size.
What's more, Qingtian had never had enough food or warm clothes in Shan's family before, so he looked thinner than other children of the same age.
It was not until later, after following Boss Ye and Sister Ye, that she started to eat something good. Now her little face has become rosy, and she has grown taller than before.
"I've heard of people being stingy with their daughters-in-law and granddaughters, but I've never heard of anyone being stingy with their sons and grandsons even though they have money at home." After a few drinks, Mrs. Ye San became more direct in her words.
"Who says it's not true?" Lin Yumei sighed, raised her head and drank the wine in the glass, "In fact, if she is partial, I can still make a fuss or even have a quarrel with her.
"But she's even more stingy with herself than with us, so I can't say anything. I can only mention it euphemistically from time to time.
“But every time I mentioned it, she had a lot of things to say to me.
"What do you mean by saying that things are much better now than before when we couldn't afford to eat? As long as we're not hungry, it doesn't matter what we eat.
"If I said a few more words, she would start scolding us for being too greedy and forgetting our own names after making a few bucks.
"But if I tell others about these trivial matters, it seems like I'm being pretentious, like I'm showing off how much money I make and how well off I am.
"But if I don't say it, I'll feel really suffocated after such a long time!
"My husband Wang usually eats at the carpentry workshop. I help out in the kitchen and I also provide meals. It's these two children who suffer the most."
Lin Yumei began to wipe away her tears as she spoke.
"I give my mother-in-law quite a bit of money every month. Although I can't afford to feed them the best of both worlds every day, it's more than enough for the three of us to eat.
"But my mother-in-law has to save at least half of it every month, and she has to figure out how to spend the rest.
"I don't know how many times I've argued with my husband about this.
"He went to talk to me once, and it was at least more effective than what I said, but it didn't get better for more than three days, and he was back to his old ways."
It can be seen that Lin Yumei is really distressed about this matter. She is drinking and wiping away tears.
Mrs. Ye Dasao and Mrs. Ye Sansao looked at each other, not knowing how to comfort them for a moment.
They have never encountered such a thing.
The Ye family did live a tight life in the past, but Old Mrs. Ye had never been so stingy with food. Instead, she always tried her best to make sure the family had enough to eat and ate well.
In her words, health is the greatest asset, and if your body is damaged, everything else will be useless.
