"What?" Aunt Chen was stunned. She never expected Xu Keke to respond so decisively, and she looked at her incredulously.
Today, Xu Keke was going to play the shrewish daughter-in-law. She rolled her eyes and glanced at the two of them sideways. "I've made it very clear, that's impossible. Her son is gone, he didn't leave a penny. I don't work, who will raise these two children?"
Look, she's sick in bed now. This morning she came to my room and went through my pockets looking for my salary. She's afraid I'll take the money to my parents' house, so she wants me to hand over my bonus too.
This family is so short of money, how can I take leave from work?
Aunt Chen blinked at Xu Keke; she was at a loss for words. Even her daughter-in-law, with her little temper, had never spoken to her so harshly.
"But...but she's your mother-in-law. She's sick, and besides, she got sick from taking care of your child."
"She takes care of my child, so I give her all of my monthly salary without missing a single penny."
Besides, who's been preventing me from getting close to the children all these years? When Fu Bao was less than three months old, she wouldn't let me near her. If Zhao Di says a single sentence to me, she'll launch into a long, veiled tirade. Is it that I don't want to get involved, or that she won't let me?
Besides, as I said, I'll take the child with me, and let my parents take care of him/her instead. Isn't that enough?
All I wanted was for her to recover properly. The Song family should be grateful to have such a reasonable wife like me.
"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have already taken the kids home."
I've actually inconvenienced her. Based on Aunt Chen's past experience, whenever she was sick and there was no one at home to do the laundry or cook, her daughter-in-law would behave herself for several days and wouldn't dare to argue with her anymore.
What she didn't know was that her daughter-in-law wasn't arguing with her because she intended to stay with their family and her son for life. Because she thought things through and considered many people, she was hesitant and indecisive, making her easy prey for her.
Xu Keke in front of her didn't care about any of this. If Lin Juan got sick, she'd just have Song Lin come back to take care of her. She didn't care whether Song Lin's future was good or bad.
Xu Keke looked at the two people in front of her. These people were bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong. If they encountered someone even more ruthless than them, they would behave themselves.
