“I’d like to see what’s written in that book. Second son, bring it here and let your mother see how this daughter-in-law of the Gao family has been secretly harming us.”
Oh....
To harm you?
Is it necessary?
Ye Wanying glanced at the man beside her; the notebook was in his hand.
Gao Dan's gaze swept over almost everyone, and finally he raised the thing in his hand: "Mother, I'm afraid this thing will be gone once it's taken, right?"
Everyone present knew what Old Lady Gao was thinking.
"It seems Mother really wants to know what's written on it, right? Then why don't we ask a police officer to read it aloud for her, and Mother will know!"
There was no need for Old Lady Gao's opinion at all. As soon as she finished speaking, the notebook was thrown directly into the hands of the leading policeman.
"Ahem... Well, police officers serve the people, so I'll read it aloud for you."
Clearly, the policeman was watching the show with amusement before receiving the notebook, even becoming engrossed in it, because the notebook had almost hit him in the nose.
He was shameless, yet he pretended to be reluctant to speak.
The old lady couldn't stop him, because the policeman had already opened his notebook and started reading quickly.
"On [Date], it has been three days since I left home. I miss my father and mother so much. I wonder how my brother's leg is doing? I want to go back to see him, but I had such a big fight with my family a few days ago, so I'll pass and wait until my parents calm down."
"Yes, my mother-in-law just saw the silver bracelet my mother gave me and was worried I'd lose it, so she's keeping it for me. That's good; it's my mother's, and I'll give it to her later when I have the chance."
"On [Date], it has been nine days since I left home. I really, really miss my parents and younger brother. My sister-in-law took my radio away two days ago. I only mentioned it once, but my mother-in-law scolded me. I feel so wronged. In the end, I still haven't gotten it back."
Today is [Date], my sixtieth day away from home, and I'm pregnant! I'm carrying a baby! I'm so excited, but why don't my mother-in-law and sister-in-law seem happy? I can't figure it out! Oh, and I also received his salary today.
"I had twenty yuan, which I wanted to use to buy some fabric to make clothes for the baby, but my mother-in-law emptied all her savings after her wedding and we're out of living expenses. She borrowed eighteen yuan from me. Sigh, it looks like I'll have to wait until next time to buy clothes for the baby."
Not all records were kept, so there weren't many; there were only a few dozen entries in total. But two-thirds of those entries were about Grandma Gao and Sister-in-law Wang Lan borrowing money and things from Ye Wanying.
In total, including the radio and the silver bracelet, it must have cost nearly two thousand yuan.
The old lady and Wang Lan both looked extremely grim, their gazes fixed on the figure sitting outside the door with a fierce intensity.
Ye Wanying curled her lips slightly: Are you in a hurry? Take your time, there's no rush. You'll eventually have to spit out what you've swallowed.
You can't just covet what's yours!
There were a few more entries in the notebook about trivial matters recorded by Ye Wanying, but Old Lady Gao clearly couldn't listen to them anymore and slammed her hand on the table.
"What? Is there anything wrong with a daughter-in-law being filial to her mother-in-law? Since she married into our Gao family, everything, including her, belongs to our Gao family. It doesn't matter who uses it. I never expected this daughter-in-law to be so scheming, writing everything down. Ah, the human heart..."
