Er Ye's face also showed some anxiety. She looked at Yang Wanwan and saw that Yang Wanwan was calm and composed. Her anxiety lessened a little and she nodded: "We don't need to worry about our family's affairs, sister-in-law. We won't borrow money from you or eat your food. You don't need to worry about us."
Futaba is usually gentle and quiet, and this is the first time she has said something so serious.
Nian Meili raised her voice: "Of course I don't care about you, I feel sorry for Grandpa and Grandma. They've worked so hard these past few years, and this is how you repay them? You talk a good game, but how will you show your filial piety to them? Out of all the people in the village, who is as insensible as you?"
Grandma Yang frowned and said, "Meili, Wanwan is very filial to me. I didn't force Wanwan to go out to work."
Seeing that Grandma Yang always sided with Yang Wanwan and her brother, Nian Meili was so angry that she almost brought up the way she usually treated Grandma Yang in private.
Finally, after much hesitation, she said, "Grandma, I've been explaining for so long, but you still don't understand. Grandpa and Grandma have given Wanwan and her siblings so much financial support over the years. If Wanwan and her siblings are sensible, they should be filial to Grandpa and Grandma. Since they don't want to be filial, who can force them?!"
As she spoke, Nian Meili turned her head away, looking quite aggrieved. "I'm the eldest daughter-in-law in the family. In the past, I would have been responsible for the livelihood of the whole family. Times have changed, and there's no such saying anymore, but I always feel that since I'm the eldest daughter-in-law, I should think more about many things than others, so that there are rules in everything at home and everything is done fairly. Even if others criticize me behind my back, as long as they are in the right, it's not a big deal for me to suffer a little grievance. It's also good for setting a good example for Qingqiu and her sisters in the future. There aren't just Yang Wanwan and her two siblings in the family. There are also Yilin, Yimei, and Yixuan, and several granddaughters-in-law will be coming into the family in the future. If we can't treat everyone equally, it's no wonder that something will happen."
That's a beautifully said statement, and it's exactly the truth.
Although the saying that the eldest son and his wife should manage the household affairs no longer exists in rural areas today, the first wife of each generation will, consciously or unconsciously, be considered more important among the wives in the family.
Those who made sarcastic remarks immediately chimed in.
“Every word of what Meili said makes perfect sense.”
"Yes, why should girls study so much? They'll just get married eventually!"
"Everyone else is working, Yang Wanwan, you're still so immature, what's the point of your studies?"
"They really don't know any better; this will be a problem in the future."
"Village chief, your niece is such an ingrate, she doesn't know what's good for her!"
"Go out and work as soon as possible to earn money so you can take care of your grandparents! Don't you see that your grandfather's back is hunched and his legs are bent? How can you be so heartless as to exploit him?"
"Yang Wanwan is finished. With such a vicious heart, whoever marries her will surely cause trouble for the whole family."
"These three siblings are all ingrates; they really have no conscience."
"Alas! The most poisonous heart is that of a woman. She is so cruel at such a young age. In a few more years, she will be truly extraordinary!"
...
Yang Wanwan memorized each and every one of these people.
She vowed that she would repay these people's "kindness" properly.
Amidst everyone's discussion, Yang Wanwan looked at Yang Dali and asked, "Uncle, do you also agree with what my sister-in-law said?"
Yang Dali kept sighing, and occasionally he would defend Yang Wanwan and her siblings, saying that it was all because he hadn't taught them well.
Hearing Yang Wanwan's question, he sighed and said, "Wanwan, although your uncle is a village head, he's not really that capable. There are six or seven people to feed in the family, and with your older brother like this, your aunt and I aren't having an easy time either. As for your sister-in-law's words, I can't really say whether I agree or disagree. In my opinion, her intentions are good. As for whether you go to school or not, you siblings are older now, so you can decide for yourselves. What Erye said earlier is also true; you earn your own money and spend it yourselves, without us needing a penny. If you grow up safely and get married, I can finally face your parents with a clear conscience."
Yang Wanwan then looked at Yang Youneng, who had remained silent, and asked, "Second Uncle, is there anything you want to say?"
Yang Youneng smiled and said, "Wanwan, your second uncle thinks that you and your brother are grown up and can make your own decisions. Your second uncle is not worried about you."
That's as good as saying nothing at all.
cunning.
Yang Wanwan looked at Nian Meili and said, "Everything you've done, sister-in-law, is for the sake of our Yang family. I, Yang Wanwan, have truly appreciated your great understanding and righteousness. However, in the end, you overlooked something, or rather, you actually mentioned it earlier, but then let it slip by. If this matter is clarified, it will be clear whether Er Ye and I will go to work or not. There's no need to say so much."
Nian Meili asked instinctively, "What is it?"
"It's about money."
Everyone was looking at her.
Yang Wanwan said, "If my brother and I had money, of course we wouldn't need to work. Sister-in-law, don't you think so?"
Nian Meili instinctively denied it: "How could you possibly have money?"
“We have money. For the past five years, my parents left us the tuition fees; my grandparents didn't pay a single penny. We still have six thousand yuan left. So, sister-in-law, do you think we need to go and work?”
Cao Xinchun exclaimed, "Impossible!"
Yang Wanwan smiled. "Whether it's possible or not, both my eldest uncle and second uncle know. Eldest uncle, second uncle, am I right?"
Yang Dali and Yang Youneng exchanged a glance, then hurriedly looked away from each other's faces.
Yang Youneng's face still wore his ever-present sly smile: "Wanwan, your family's affairs are yours to handle, how would I know so much?"
Yang Wanwan smiled but didn't press the matter, instead turning her gaze to Yang Dali.
Yang Dali coughed lightly: "Wanwan, what you're saying is so confusing, I don't understand what's going on."
Yang Wanwan looked at her two blood relatives, one was her eldest uncle, and the other was her second uncle.
Their faces showed panic and anger, but no shame.
They were flustered because they felt guilty, and angry because Yang Wanwan seemed to be forcing them to tell the truth.
And what she needs to do next is to expose their hypocritical kinship.
These were, after all, her own uncles. If it were in her previous life, even if she had discovered it, she wouldn't have been able to bring herself to do it.
Now, recalling everything from her previous life, she suddenly realized that without their meddling, she and her siblings would never have needed to...
They've fallen to that level.
He is unrighteous, so I will be unjust.
Since they don't feel ashamed of their actions at all, why should I show them any mercy?
