Grandma Yu's mind was filled with nothing but her son, grandson, and her long-dead husband. She saw no room for anyone else, including her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
She hated those who did not help her family, especially Zheng Qianlan and her son. They used the Yu family's surname but never had anything to do with them. The mother and daughter lived a life of luxury, but did not give them a penny and had to watch them die out. She was a woman with a very vicious mind.
If her son had not married that vicious woman Zheng Qianlan, their Yu family would have had many children and grandchildren, and she would not feel so guilty when she saw her old man in the future.
Now, that bitch ran away after giving birth to a daughter, and did not divorce her son, forcing his son to find a son from outside to inherit the family line.
That's right, that child wasn't even Yu's father's. Even the widow wouldn't want to be with him given Yu's incompetence. At a time like this, who would be willing to take such a big risk and mess around with a man who already has a wife and daughter and no money? Wouldn't that mean they're living too long?
If life had not been difficult for the mother and son, the woman would not have wanted to take the risk. However, her son would need to get married and have children in the future, so he would need some money. So she found a few old bachelors who could not find wives or had no sons, and asked her son to recognize them as godfathers or biological fathers. In any case, they would break pots to send them off at their graves, and they needed to raise money for his son to get married.
Yu's father was one of them.
He just thought that the children his son would have in the future would have his surname, and it would be worth it as long as the Yu family's incense would not be cut off.
Little did they know that the woman had promised so many people that her remaining children would take their surnames.
Who can testify to what is said verbally?
Yu Yan was furious when she heard her grandmother scolding her mother. "The reason I can't get married isn't because I don't have brothers. It's because you two are such evil people who deserve to be struck by lightning. You're dragging me down to death."
Yu Nai: "If you listen to me, how could you not get married? I've already found a good man for you, but you insisted on running away. I was trying to match you up, but you almost cut the strings, and you still say it's not because of you and your daughter. You and your mother are both worthless, looking down on this and that, and your ambitions are higher than the sky."
The man beside him also said: "If your grandmother hadn't said you were a worker, I would look down on you."
When Yu Yan heard the man's words, her eyes went dark. She even made him look down on her. For a man like this, not to mention his appearance and family conditions, isn't his heart higher than hers?
She scolded him, "You say my ambition is higher than the sky, but I think you are just a toad wanting to eat swan flesh."
Man: "Of course I want to eat swan meat, but I can't, so I can only eat chicken like you. Don't try to trick me, just follow me. You won't starve to death. I've already paid the betrothal gift. It's come to this point, why are you still shy?"
After saying that, the man was about to pull her away. Yu Yan screamed and hid behind Qiao Shan, "Get out of here! She accepted your betrothal gift. You married my grandmother. What does that have to do with me?"
Man: "You bastard, you're already old, and you don't even want me to pay you back, what bullshit are you talking about?"
After a few words of bickering, Qiao Shan recognized her. They had met once before and had even eaten her cake. Chen Xiangbei was originally unaware of the situation. He hadn't seen anything of the Yu family's farce in his mother's yard. They had all gone home after moving in and eating.
So, when Chen Xiangbei heard Qiao Shan say that Yu Yan lived in the same yard with his mother, his eyes turned and he made up his mind to help.
Chen Xiangbei was really disappointed with Yu Yan. She hadn't learned anything from living in the same yard with his mother. What was the point of their quarrel? It was a waste of such a good environment.
What's the most important thing in an argument? It's to avoid getting yourself into trouble.
No matter how unreasonable she is, you should scold others directly when they talk about you, and don't involve yourself. If you involve yourself, you will end up getting confused, and maybe in the end everyone will think that there is something wrong with her.
But it’s different when talking about others. If you point out their shortcomings, and they explain, then keep talking. If you talk too much, others will think that they have problems. Even if you are arguing, the person involved will focus on his or her own shortcomings. Wouldn’t that give you a better chance of winning?
Chen Xiangbei, who has worked with his mother several times, has summed up his own experience in these quarrels and fights, and has developed a good habit of analyzing the loopholes in other people's words.
So, when Yu Yan explained that she and her mother had done nothing wrong, Chen Xiangbei spoke up, "Auntie, we're not talking about those confusing things from the past. What we're talking about now is that you kidnapped a girl and forced her into marriage. We're in a time of freedom of marriage. How are you any different from the old feudal idiots of the past?"
If you know me, you look like a decent person. You must have heard the propaganda from our subdistrict office. If you don't, you might think you're a spy from some era, deliberately trying to slow down our country's progress. Listen to what you just said. What bullshit!
Don't you respect the laws of our country? Don't you respect the leaders of our police, women's federation, and neighborhood office? Our country is not ruled by the people, so everyone has to listen to you, right?
Grandma Yu was caught off guard by a long string of words about law and progress, and her mind was suddenly confused. Although she had never been educated, she knew that this was a big hat that had been put on her head. Her neck, a little old lady, could not withstand such a knock. If others heard it, even if she felt she was innocent, she might be sent to a farm for reformation for such a serious crime.
Yu Nai immediately retorted: "Bullshit, when did I say I want to be the boss? When did I say I don't care about the laws of your leaders? This is my family's business, what does it have to do with you? You really have nothing to do with it. Why are you wandering around here so late at night? Are you a hooligan who wants to harm other girls?"
When Chen Xiangbei heard this, he knew that he could apply the formula. He heard from his second brother that his mother was so arrogant and accused others of spreading rumors when her sister went to the countryside. And his mother insisted on finding out who spread the rumors at the factory. The level of her behavior was enough to be published in a book.
As his mother's favorite youngest son, how could he not know how destructive this matter was? So he opened his mouth and said, "Report it to the police, Brother Qiao, I want to report it. My innocence, my reputation, everything I have has been ruined by this old comrade. Brother Qiao, you heard it, Comrade Yu, you heard it too, I'm being slandered, I'm so young and I'm going to be killed by such rumors, I don't want to live anymore."
Yu Nai was confused again.
