The two daughters-in-law couldn't believe it when they heard this.
How could illegitimate sons possibly divide the family property equally? Not to mention whether they would be willing, the clan itself would never agree, would it?
"Mother, how is this possible?"
"What's impossible? Isn't it normal for men to favor concubines over wives? If you care about men, you've already lost."
Mo Yan glanced calmly at her two daughters-in-law and successfully saw shock and disbelief in their eyes.
"What, you don't actually think that I've been in love with that man all this time, do you?"
The two of them: "..." Mother-in-law, you don't have to be so direct.
"Love is a burden within a family. If you want your husbands to be devoted to you, give up on that idea. Their family isn't exactly upright to begin with. You'd be better off focusing on what's most important."
That old man wanted to ask for a concubine for his precious darling, do you think he succeeded?
He wants my two sons to be mediocre, while his precious darling is both scholarly and athletic, so what!
Even if he's accomplished in both literature and martial arts, he's still just a son of a concubine. He expects me to treat them all equally? He can only dream of it.
Mo Yan was having a great time cursing, but her two daughters-in-law didn't dare to say a word. They only had one thought in their minds: Has their mother-in-law gone mad?
Why aren't you two saying anything?
Mo Yan smiled and looked at the two of them.
The two women looked at each other, somewhat helpless. How could they possibly say anything? What kind of answer could they possibly give?
"Alright, go on. What I'm telling you is that if that old man is unreliable, then you need to make your husbands more capable."
The two of them: "..." We can't do it.
“Mother, at home you obey your father, after marriage you obey your husband, and after your husband dies you obey your son…” Gao thought for a moment and replied with this sentence. This was probably what her mother-in-law wanted to hear the most.
"Bullshit." Mo Yan blurted out.
Gao: "???"
"I didn't tell you before because I wanted to give that old man some face. Now that he's shameless, I naturally have to make things clear to you. As for my two sons..."
The two women were speechless. The mother-in-law would never criticize her own son; no matter what, it would always be the daughter-in-law's fault.
"Those two aren't any good either, but don't worry, I'll take care of my son myself. From now on, you two must keep a close eye on your dowries and not take out a single penny."
Furthermore, you must die of any feelings for them. No matter what I do, you are not allowed to feel sorry for them.
As for those concubines, whoever's concubine they are raises them, what business is it of yours? Don't take men too seriously, or you'll only get hurt.
The most important thing for a woman is herself. If you have your own money, it doesn't matter whether a man is there or not.
You also need to have someone on your side so that you can take care of yourself when men are trash.
Finally, you must take good care of your children, otherwise you will become like me, scheming all day long, mentally exhausted. I feel like I'm going to die because I'm mentally and physically drained.
Look at me, scheming and plotting for this family year after year, and in the end, that damned thing is still thinking about others.
"Pah! If you really loved him that much, why didn't you take his precious darling back then? He's too afraid to defy his family, so he comes here to disgust me. Ever since I started to hate him, I've felt so relieved."
The two daughters-in-law: "..." Suddenly, a whole new world has opened up for them.
"Alright, second son's wife, you go back first. I have something to say to your sister-in-law. Your husband asked you for money, so just kick him out. Isn't your father a general? What are you good for with your martial arts skills? Men are disobedient because they haven't been beaten enough."
Luo: "??????" Can she even fight? I'm kind of eager to try...
"Mother, is what you're saying true?" Actually, she had wanted to do it for a long time.
"Of course, if he brings another woman back, just kick him out. He has no ability himself, yet he brings back a bunch of women. He's dreaming."
Mo Yan snorted coldly. That son of hers deserved to be taught a lesson. "If you don't want to hit him, that's fine. I'll take care of him tonight."
Her feather duster was covered in dust; it was time to bring it out.
"Don't worry, Mother, your daughter-in-law will definitely listen to your teachings." Whether it's true or not, she'll give him a beating first.
Looking at this scene, Gao felt like he was dreaming. Otherwise, how could such an outrageous thing happen?
Luo returned home happily, hoping that the Second Master wouldn't disappoint her today. He absolutely had to bring back a woman, la la la.
"Mother, are you serious?" Gao's lips twitched. Her sister-in-law's eager look just now was too obvious. Was she dreaming?
Are you lending money at exorbitant interest rates? Or are you planning to do so?
Mo Yan didn't beat around the bush with her daughter-in-law and went straight to the point.
In those days, if one person committed a crime, the whole family would suffer. If she didn't want her property confiscated, she would have to deal with far too many things.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that he favored his concubine over his wife needs to be confirmed for that old man, and then we should file a complaint.
Then he can only be raped; as for divorce, that's not going to happen.
The original owner has worked so hard for so many years, and given away so much of her dowry. How can she just hand it all over to someone else? There's a long road ahead, she can take her time.
Gao knelt down on the ground with a thud. She didn't know how her mother-in-law knew, but at this moment she could only admit it.
“Mother, I didn’t… It’s just that my younger brother from my maternal family said he’s a little short on cash lately and wants to borrow some money from me, promising to give me extra interest later…”
Actually, it was my sister-in-law. She said that's exactly what she did, and the profits were huge...
"If someone were to sue you for this, they would win every time. I don't think you're short of money at all."
This eldest daughter-in-law is certainly not short of money; her dowry is enormous.
"Well, who would complain about having too much money..." Although there's no shortage of money, there will be many places to spend it in the future. "I know this too. My daughter-in-law has two daughters and a son, and my husband has two daughters. So, there are all sorts of weddings and other expenses..."
Is she their legal mother? He still has to worry about furniture? To be honest, he certainly wouldn't treat his illegitimate daughter very well, but you can't say he treats her too badly either. At least he has to maintain a semblance of politeness, right?
Actually, Madam Gao wasn't the kind of stepmother who tormented people; otherwise, those children would have had an even harder time.
"Your son and daughter certainly require your attention, but what do his two daughters have to do with you?"
"I am the legal mother..." Madam Gao was a little confused. Was her mother-in-law testing her?
“He’s still their biological father. You don’t need to worry about this. If he doesn’t have money, he shouldn’t have had the child. If he did, he has to raise it himself. From now on, we won’t support idlers in this family. If those two can’t prove themselves, I’ll kick them out and let them go out begging.”
Ms. Gao: "???" Is my mother-in-law really alright today?
