"How can we talk about it later?" Wei Yanyan pressed on.
"You received a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg from me."
"It's only natural for a daughter-in-law to be filial to her mother-in-law. Do you want to take it back?" Old Madam Shi said angrily.
"Don't forget what kind of person you are."
"The fact that my Shi family allowed you to enter is already a great honor for your Wei family."
"Don't act like a spoiled princess in front of this old woman."
"Let's tear off the mask and see who suffers."
“You…” Wei Yanyan stomped her foot angrily.
She never imagined that the well-regarded Madam Shi was actually such a scoundrel inside.
That was a miscalculation.
He Qiuniang held Shi Yu in her arms and quietly watched the two of them fight like dogs.
The harder they bite, the better it is for her.
"What are you looking at?" Wei Yanyan noticed He Qiuniang's gaze.
"You better remember this: I am the First Madam, and you are the Second Madam."
"From now on, I should be in charge of the Shi family."
"You'd better hand over the power of housekeeping as soon as possible."
"To avoid suffering later."
"Madam, your makeup is smudged."
He Qiuniang spoke in an innocent and harmless manner, just like a naive and sweet female rabbit.
"The red marks are quite obvious."
"It seems that the master truly loves his wife deeply."
"Ah, don't say it!" Wei Yanyan quickly covered her face.
God's mother loves you deeply, so it's clear she's being harsh.
However, she wasn't going to take it lying down, and she got scratched a few times by that old man too.
"I am determined to obtain the power of housekeeper," Wei Yanyan said aggressively once again.
"If you don't want to implicate your family, you'd better hand over the power of housekeeping."
"After all that you've said, Madam, all you really want is the power to manage the household," He Qiuniang said calmly.
"I just gave birth and need to rest and recuperate during my postpartum period."
"At that time, the family was managed and cared for by my wife."
"Chunhua, have someone bring the keys and ledgers."
Wei Yanyan's fierce expression faltered slightly.
Is it really that simple?
Is it really that easy?
Back then, how dare that old woman ask for a ruby the size of a pigeon's egg?
What a loss!
On the way back, He Qiuniang carried the child with light steps.
Chunhua followed behind, her face filled with worry.
"Madam, why did you hand over the power of managing the household?"
"Won't it be even harder for us to establish ourselves in the Shi family in the future?"
He Qiuniang smiled slightly, confident and composed.
"How much is the master's monthly salary?"
"How much does the Shi family's business generate in a month?"
"The entire wedding banquet was paid on credit, with the settlement to be made at the end of the month."
"Without my dowry to supplement the family income, do you think the new wife will still be able to smile at the end of the month?"
"Ah, Madam, what do you mean?" Chunhua instantly understood, her face beaming with excitement.
Over the years, the lady has spent countless amounts of money to support the family.
The lady has finally come to her senses.
"Yes." He Qiuniang nodded.
"From now on, we will not see anyone who comes looking for the old lady or the newlyweds."
"This is a mess at home, let whoever wants to take care of it."
"I've given them this immense wealth; let's see if they can handle it."
"What if they bully us again?" Chunhua asked.
"Don't worry about that, I have my own plan."
He Qiuniang lowered her head and touched the fair face of her youngest daughter in her arms with her slender, white fingers.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Old Man Sun."
"Let's see what the old lady will do."
"Yes, this servant will arrange it immediately."
