Wronged
Gao Yamei said, "Sister-in-law, I am very grateful for your care during my confinement. I didn't insist on you at the time. It was you who said you wanted to go to the city to take a look. On the one hand, I could help out, and on the other hand, I could see the big city."
"I thought you were kind-hearted, so I asked Chen Hai to bring you to the city to live. You ate and lived at my house, and I asked Chen Hai to take you out for walks. But you enjoyed yourself. How come you don't remember how tired Chen Hai was from running around?"
When Gao Yamei was still in the hospital, she knew that her family had something going on and couldn't take care of her. Although her family didn't come often, her parents and brother gave her a lot of money and sent her a lot of supplements.
On the contrary, it was my husband's family. The old lady said that her legs hurt and she couldn't walk. She didn't come to see me for a whole day. She just called and asked if I was okay.
Gao Yamei knew in her heart that the old lady was disgusted and didn't even want to look at her because she heard that she had given birth to twin girls, one of whom was sick.
Gao Yamei didn't expect the old lady to take care of her. It was Liu Fang who was jealous and insisted on going to the city to see the world.
Gao Yamei canceled the confinement nanny that had been arranged in advance because Liu Fang had no bad intentions. This made Gao Yamei lose face.
But in the end, when Liu Fang came to the city, she prepared three meals a day for her and seemed to care about her, but she also asked Chen Hai to buy things for her behind Gao Yamei's back.
Gao Yamei originally wanted to give Liu Fang some money. After all, she had served him for a month, so she should get some money.
But when Gao Yamei found out that Liu Fang was eating and living in her house for free without spending a penny, she was so angry that she gave up the idea.
When Liu Fang heard this, her face changed slightly. Perhaps she remembered what she had done at that time and felt embarrassed, but she still looked arrogant.
Liu Fang said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is much harsher. I felt sorry for you because you were giving birth without anyone by your side, so I offered to serve you. Not only do you not appreciate my kindness, you even act like I'm rushing to your house."
"Do you think anyone else would be willing to take on your job besides me? You don't know how difficult you are to serve. It's just giving birth to a child, what's so precious about it? It's just that you're so squeamish. You've been lying in bed for a month, and you still want me to bring you water to wash your feet. I've never served anyone like this in my life."
Gao Yamei became even more unhappy when she heard Liu Fang's words that turned the tables on her. She had no intention of falling out with him, so she didn't say anything more unpleasant.
As a result, she pretended to be a good person.
Gao Yamei said, "Sister-in-law, I'm telling you the truth. If you hadn't begged me and asked my brother to speak well of Chen Hai, I wouldn't have let you come. I had already found a confinement nanny before you. If you hadn't caused this trouble, you wouldn't have been in this situation at all."
"The confinement nanny I hired is more professional and attentive than you, and she's not as picky as you are. Ask yourself, I asked you to make water for my feet once, and you still remember it. If I asked you to take care of my excrement and urine, would you hate me for the rest of your life?"
Gao Yamei was not afraid of saying something even more unpleasant, because the anger she felt could not be expressed in just a few words.
That was the first time Gao Yamei remembered that whenever there was something going on at home, she would never ask relatives for help, even if she needed to borrow money or ask for help.
If you hire someone with money, the money and goods are settled, that's the end of it. But if you ask relatives to help with this and that, she will definitely complain about it until she dies, and will bring it up every time they argue.
Liu Fang ignored her and tried to justify herself, refusing to give in no matter what.
Liu Fang said, "When I gave birth to Chen Feng and Chen Tian, I wasn't like you, unable to get out of bed. I couldn't stand the cold wind and couldn't do anything. I got out of bed and cooked the next day after giving birth. Unlike you, you still need someone to serve you when you eat."
Since Liu Fang couldn't respond to Gao Yamei's words, she could only elevate herself and belittle Gao Yamei.
Gao Yamei said, "Oh! Do you think everyone is like you? Not everyone is as strong as you. I suffered so much when I was pregnant with Chen Yue and Chen Xing. Have you ever asked me about it? I didn't ask you to give me anything. Even if you just called me and said something, I would have thought you cared."
"But what have you done? You all know in your hearts that your children are treasures, and my daughters are just two pieces of grass?"
Gao Yamei finally had the chance to speak out the grievances that had been stuck in her heart for more than ten years.
Every time she had to swallow her anger and deal with things perfunctorily for Chen Hai's sake, but this time they were the ones who started it first, so there was no need for her to endure it any longer.
Gao Yamei's condemnation made Chen Hai feel heartbroken, but he didn't say a word. He didn't stop her, which gave Gao Yamei confidence.
Chen Hai is just too filial. He always thinks that if he just speaks less and says more nice things to appease Chen De and Chen Rong, the family will not break up.
After all, this is the home that raised Chen Hai. When the three brothers and sisters were young, they were not as hostile to each other as they are now. How did they become enemies?
Liu Fang was speechless. Others didn’t know, but didn’t she?
Liu Fang has been with the old lady for the longest time. Doesn’t she know how much the old lady favors boys over girls?
She saw it better than anyone else, especially when Chen Xing was recuperating in the countryside. She saw it all but did nothing.
Chen Rong didn't think it was a big deal at this time, so she added another basin of cold water, making the situation even more chaotic.
Chen Rong said, "Second sister-in-law, no one says Chen Yue and Chen Xing are two different kinds of grass. Aren't all the children in this family treated equally?"
"Aren't my Xu Han and Xu Wei not living as well as Chen Yue and Chen Xing?"
Gao Yamei said, "You're lying with your eyes open. Aren't you afraid of getting slapped in the face?"
"Treat everyone equally? How ridiculous! The old lady favors boys over girls. Who among you doesn't know that?"
It was because the old lady favored boys over girls that Liu Fang and Chen Rong treated Chen Yue and Chen Xing harshly.
Now the old lady is unable to move. She knows how many bad things she did in the past and who is sincere to her, but there is nothing she can do to save the situation.
Chen Xing will never forget the psychological trauma that the old lady caused him.
"Every time my Chen Yue and Chen Xing come back, she's in a good mood a few times. Does she give them half as much New Year's money as your two families do?"
Chen Rong's eyes turned red when money was mentioned.
Chen Rong said, "Second sister-in-law, it's wrong for you to mention money. I send you gifts every holiday. You and your second brother only come back for the New Year. Are you just thinking about the little money that the old lady has?"
"The old lady raised her son with great difficulty, but you kidnapped him and took him to live in the city. She only sees him once a year. It would be strange if she didn't blame you!"
Chen Rong spoke in a sarcastic tone and her eyes kept rolling around. She was the most malicious person in the family.
Gao Yamei covered her nose and said, "Your mouth must have been poisoned, why does it stink so bad?"
"Of the three of you siblings, the old lady favors you the most. Why didn't you treat her so well before? Now you're saying nice things about her. You really are the old lady's good daughter!"
Gao Yamei had long understood that no matter how good her daughter-in-law was to the old lady, the old lady would only talk about her own daughter, and she would ultimately be no match for her own daughter.
"If Chen Haixin was with me, I would have cut off all ties with you guys long ago. Even the closest family members can't compare to how good I, an outsider, treat her."
Chen De couldn't stand it any longer. He retorted, "Sister-in-law, what you said is really serious. Chen Hai is my brother. How could I harm him? Don't forget, our family name is Chen!"
Gao Yamei was not afraid of them. Even if they came for her alone, she would not be afraid.
Gao Yamei was so angry that she rolled up her sleeves and looked like she was about to take action.
Liu Fang stepped forward and asked, "Gao Yamei, what do you want to do?"
Seeing his wife being bullied, Chen Hai could no longer remain silent and stood directly in front of Gao Yamei.
This was the first time in so many years that Chen Hai defended Gao Yamei in front of his family. In the past, he was the one who was scolded and Gao Yamei suffered. In the end, Chen Hai took the trouble to make Gao Yamei happy, and Gao Yamei didn't care.
Chen Hai knew how sorry he was to his and Gao Yamei's small family, to his wife, and even more so to his two daughters.
But he was caught in the middle and couldn't give up his old mother who gave birth to him and raised him. Coming back once a year was already a helpless act.
But now his elder brother and sister have teamed up to bully his wife. How can he bear it? If he can tolerate it, he would be a complete inhuman being.
Chen Hai said, "Brother, sister-in-law, and Chen Rong, what on earth do you want to do? As a family, harmony is the most important thing. What's the grudge or grudge? Why do you have to go to this extent?"
Chen De said: "Chen Hai, look at your wife, she is the one dealing with us, how come you have no backbone at all and can't even control your wife?"
When Gao Yamei heard this, she pulled Chen Hai and was about to rush out, but Chen Hai stubbornly protected her.
Gao Yamei looked into Chen Hai's eyes. His sharp eyes were not as calm as usual, and there were already ripples in them.
Gao Yamei has lived with Chen Hai for so many years and knows that Chen Hai is serious. It is really not easy to let him stand up for once.
Chen Hai said, "Brother, who started it all? Who took advantage of us to bully us and bullied us openly and secretly so many times?"
"My wife, how much have you endured in this family? Chen Yue and Chen Xing have been bullied so many times by Xu Han and Xu Wei. As a husband and a father, I feel so much pain and pain in my heart. We are all family. Have you ever thought about me?"
"I've made many concessions out of brotherly love, but you keep pressing me. Do you want to kill me?"
In the end, Chen Hai couldn't say anything harsher. He had been teaching for most of his life and was not a bad person at heart. Kindness had long been engraved in his mind. He always thought that he could influence people by reasoning with them, but human hearts were not that simple.
Gao Yamei looked at Chen Hai's dilemma. She knew that every time they had a fight, Chen Hai was the saddest.
Gao Yamei lowered her head and breathed a sigh of relief. "Chen Rong, you were the one who started it today, right? Just tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Gao Yamei had noticed something was wrong with Chen Rong a long time ago. This year, their family's behavior was very different from previous years.
Chen Rong is not someone who deliberately stirs up trouble. Something big must have happened.
Chen Rong was obviously feeling guilty when she was questioned. She avoided looking at everyone.
Just as Chen Rong was about to speak, Xu Zhen, who had been leaning on the sofa, stood up.
