"Divide the family? How would grandfather agree? The older generation is still alive, and it would be extremely unfilial to ask for a division of the family!" Yu Zhixing asked in confusion.
Wang Mengyan knew that it was impossible to divide the family as long as Old Man Yu was around. This was just an excuse to put pressure on the old man and Yu Zhou in disguise, so that Yu Zhou would be more restrained when she favored the third wife too much in the future.
"We are young people, so it's not a big mistake to say rude things." Wang Mengyan said, "Just do as I say."
Yu Zhixing knew that his wife had always been a person with her own ideas. In the past few years since she got married, she had done things in a way that no one could find fault with. It would never be wrong to listen to her.
Inside the house, Zhao rolled up her sleeves and put her hands on her waist, saying angrily, "Bah! What do you mean all the money was spent on our third room? So many mouths to feed at home, starving all day? Yu Zhixing didn't give the Wang family a gift money when he got married? Yu Zhizhou didn't ask for tuition to go to the academy? Zhang Qiulan, you are such a talker who can confuse right and wrong, you deserve to be torn to pieces!"
Yu Hanshan also echoed, "Sister-in-law, how many times have I had a drink with you? Besides, it's not me who treats you every time. It's not uncommon for others to treat me back. We are all family. What you are saying now is too cruel. Aren't you trying to alienate us? To put it more seriously, sister-in-law, you have committed the seventh offense of instigating my brother to alienate his relatives by speaking too much!"
Yu Hanshan brought up the seven grounds for divorce, which was such a serious crime that Zhang was so angry that her chest hurt. Yu Qiaoshan, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke up, "Your sister-in-law has been in our family for so many years. If she really likes to gossip, how can we live in harmony? She used to be tolerant and humble. Your wife Zhao is competitive and has no respect for her elders. She calls your sister-in-law by her name. If we are talking about disloyalty, her gossip is the most serious crime!"
Zhang turned her head to look at her man, her heart felt very warm. The only people a woman can rely on in her life are her man and children. Although she had worked hard and suffered a lot of bullying over the years since she married into the Yu family, fortunately her man was reliable.
Zhao was almost furious when her uncle accused her. She sat on the ground and howled, "You bully me, I won't live anymore! You two can't stand seeing our third branch doing well, you want to force us to death! Obviously our third branch is my biological son, so what's wrong with Jinshu and Jinyan buying new clothes and spending money to go to the county school? Who do you think your first branch is..."
Seeing that Zhao was getting more and more outrageous, Yu Zhou's face darkened and she said sternly, "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about, Third Brother's wife? Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you!"
After being scolded by Yu Zhou in such a cold voice, Zhao immediately shut up. Seeing that Old Man Yu was staring at her angrily, she knew that she had said the wrong thing in anger. Ever since Yu Zhou married into the Yu family as the second wife, she had been acting very well in front of the villagers, for fear of being branded as being harsh on the two descendants of the previous husband!
After Zhao entered the house, she realized that Yu Zhou was just pretending to be nice to the first and second wives, so she became more domineering. She was used to being complacent on weekdays, so she said the wrong thing at this moment.
Seeing that the commotion was getting really out of control, Yu Ruhai snorted coldly, and Zhao's expression of throwing a tantrum while sitting on the ground became much more restrained.
Before Yu Ruhai could speak, Yu Zhou's eyes were red and she said with a guilty look, "Big brother, big brother's wife, it's mother's fault. The third brother and his wife are young and ignorant. Don't bother with them! Although mother has not received much education, she also knows that it is the style of those who are not up to standard to mistreat step-sons. When mother came into the family, I told your father that I would treat you two brothers as my own children. I have always abided by this promise over the years, but I didn't expect that it would still cause a rift between you two. People say that it is difficult to be a stepmother. Over the years, I have seen that our Yu family has loving parents and filial children, and the descendants are happy and harmonious. I have been secretly happy for a long time, but I didn't expect that you have always secretly felt that mother favored Hanshan. Mother feels like a knife is stabbed in her heart right now..."
