Chapter 373 The person who understands her best is actually Cen Yan
You might as well be dead!
Cen Yan retorted directly.
"The way Sister Yu is today, complaining about everything and her own personality, is undeniably related, but the real culprit is definitely you, Yu Qingguo!"
"If you had discussed it with Sister Yu before agreeing to pay 500 yuan in compensation, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly, even if she hadn't agreed."
"And what else did you say? You earned the money in the family, so how you spend it is your business. What, do you think you could have worked so hard outside without Sister Yu to take care of everything? And do you think your four sons would have grown up so well?"
"A kind word warms the heart for three winter months, while a harsh word chills the heart for six summer months. Sister Yu has been your wife for over ten years. Even if she hasn't done anything particularly meritorious, she has certainly worked hard. How can you deny her contributions to the Yu family over the past ten years?"
"Yu Qingguo, you think too highly of yourself!"
Cen Yan had no personal grudge against Sister Yu; she simply disliked Sister Yu and wanted to cut ties with her completely.
But she had to be honest and give Yu's sister a fair assessment: she may not be a virtuous wife, but she is definitely a good mother.
No matter how disliked Aunt Yu was outside, she raised her four sons quite well. I heard they were good at studying and always scored above 80 on school tests. Whenever they came and went, they would greet the women in the residential compound, saying hello to the aunties and uncles.
Even someone as shrewish as Aunt Tang would hurl insults at Sister Yu, but when it came to Sister Yu's four sons, she would purse her lips and say sourly that Sister Yu must have accumulated good karma in her past life.
Many people say that Sister Yu is wrong in a thousand ways, but no one says that she ruined her four sons.
Does Yu Qingguo really think that without his wife's guidance, his genes, which he rarely sees during the winter, are enough to make his four children above average?
"Sister-in-law Yu, you must be wondering why I slapped you twice without saying a word, right? Let me explain. I hit you because you have a foul mouth!"
"I don't care if you and Yu Qingguo fight to the death or curse each other, but don't drag me into it. Why should I be called a little slut by you for no reason?"
"She stole my pork cracklings and came to my door to cause trouble. Five hundred yuan is a lesson Tian Ying deserves! It's something your Yu family owes me!"
"Do you understand why you were beaten?"
Cen Yan spoke with great precision and insight.
In the past, Aunt Yu would have jumped up and fought with her.
But now, with a dead heart, the person is dead too, so there's no point in arguing anymore.
All she ever wanted was for her son to be safe, her husband to be considerate and successful, and for her family to be harmonious and able to discuss things together.
But she never expected that her husband of more than ten years would not understand her and treat her like an outsider. Cen Yan, who had only known her for three months and had fought more than ten battles with her and was always at odds with her, was the person who understood her inner thoughts the most and knew that her anger did not stem from the promised bicycle.
In the more than ten years of their marriage, Yu Qingguo has never treated her fairly in his relationship with his mother, let alone trusted or favored her.
Perhaps, the blisters on her hands from the hot water on the second day of her marriage more than ten years ago, and the scars on her knees from kneeling in the traditional way, have long become a deep-seated resentment in her heart.
There is no possibility of eliminating it.
"I'm sorry, Cen Yan, I shouldn't have called you a little slut. It was my fault for being so foul-mouthed. I apologize!"
Sister-in-law Yu took a deep breath and turned to look at her four sons, who were holding back tears.
"Mom also wants to apologize to you. I was in a bad mood just now and I yelled at you too loudly."
"It's okay, Mom, we don't mind!" The four children rushed into Aunt Yu's arms.
Aunt Yu patted their heads and said, "Mom wants to ask you something: if your dad and I divorce, would you be willing to come back to your maternal grandparents' house with Mom?"
"You can think it through before you answer. Mom won't blame you. I'm not capable and I don't have a job quota. Following Mom might mean a long period of hardship, but Mom promises that even if I have to go out to collect recyclables and scavenge, I will definitely support your education and make sure you have enough to eat and wear."
