Yang Xiaohui's selfishness was clearly revealed by her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying. She immediately changed her expression and gnashed her teeth: "I've already said it, my mother raised me to this age..."
This was said over and over again.
Zhao Xueyan couldn't stand it any longer: "Your mother raised you to this age, and after you get married, you want your in-laws to support your mother? This is wrong, right? Mom just said that if you work and use your own salary to support your mother, no one will say anything to you."
"And this is incredible. You can see which woman gives all her money to her husband's family after she gets married. When you get married, you will have your own small family. Whoever you give your mother's house and land to will have to take care of her in her old age. So, it is your brother's responsibility to take care of your mother in her old age. You can help out a little, contribute a little money, and do some work, instead of taking on everything and supporting your elder brother."
Yang Xiaohui was stunned when Zhao Xueyan said this to her.
In her eyes, her third sister-in-law Zhao Xueyan was a fool because she could not control her husband and was lazy and stupid. Unexpectedly, one day, she was taught a lesson by Zhao Xueyan.
"It's none of your business, just shut up and get out of the way."
She became angry and started to curse.
Zhao Xueyan was shocked. She had no one in her natal family, and she couldn't stand up straight even in her husband's family. It was only after her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying took care of her in the past few years that she became a little braver and knew what was good and what was bad.
"I, I'm not wrong." She said stubbornly.
Chen Xiaoying's face was already very ugly: "I still have to do business, you go back and discuss with Lao Si, what exactly does your family want."
Yang Xiaohui knew that the fourth child, Li Honggang, was now listening to his mother, so she simply sat down and refused to leave: "No need to discuss this with the fourth child, I have the final say on our family affairs."
Zhao Xueyan's eyes widened: "Yang Xiaohui, aren't you being shameless?"
Yang Xiaohui looked as if someone owed her millions and had not paid her back. She stared coldly at her mother-in-law Chen Xiaoying and said nothing.
But those eyes are like knives.
Chen Xiaoying was so angry that she laughed: "I work day and night to earn money, and I spend it on whoever I want. Since you don't want this house anymore, it's easy. I just don't buy it, isn't it?"
The mother-in-law actually refused to buy a house, and Yang Xiaohui was furious: "You said that we should treat each son equally and buy houses for all of them."
"I am only willing to give water to my filial sons. I won't give a penny to those who are not. Anyway, I have four sons to support me in my old age. If your fourth son's family doesn't want to, it will save me some time and energy. I will use this energy energy on my other three sons. This is better than sticking dog meat on a sheep." Chen Xiaoying, the mother-in-law, can't stand her daughter-in-law's idleness.
Thinking back to her previous life, when she couldn't walk anymore, she had to use a cane to go to the fourth child's house to help Yang Xiaohui peel corn husks. How did she treat her? When she was lying in the eldest child's house and being served by the eldest child's wife, she didn't even bring her a bowl of water.
Yang Xiaohui was stunned.
"Go back and don't delay my business."
Chen Xiaoying stood up and told her to leave quickly.
Yang Xiaohui blushed in embarrassment. Li Yumeng, who was standing beside her, was frightened and pulled her mother, "Mom, let's go home quickly."
"Go if you want to, but I have something to say. Mom, if you insist on doing this, don't blame me for not living with your son." After saying that, Yang Xiaohui tried to straighten her back and angrily pulled her daughter away.
Chen Xiaoying didn't even look at her and started to look at the order form for tomorrow's buns.
Zhao Xueyan was afraid that her mother-in-law would be upset, so she leaned over and said, "Mom, what you just said is right. You have four sons and four daughters-in-law. If the fourth son's family doesn't support you in your old age, don't we still have the other three families? Don't worry, don't be angry."
Chen Xiaoying just looked at her and saw through the thoughts of her third daughter-in-law, Zhao Xueyan.
If one hundred yuan is divided into four parts, each person will only have twenty-five yuan. If it is divided into three parts, it will become thirty-three yuan and thirty-three cents.
It's not noticeable that the amount is less. If mother-in-law had one million, the 250,000 that should have belonged to her would be 333,300,000 more. Fourth brother's wife is really short of money. Why offend a goddess of wealth like mother-in-law?
"I know. Go ahead and do your work." Chen Xiaoying finished speaking, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, you are not allowed to give money to the third brother. I want to see how he can survive outside without anyone to help him."
When Zhao Xueyan heard her mother-in-law mention her husband, the third brother Li Hongqiang, her heart ached and she could only nod.
They all went to work in the sawmill. The second oldest brother, Li Hongjian, and the fourth oldest brother, Li Honggang, both came back, but the third oldest brother, Li Honggang, stayed away and did not come back.
It's easy to tell why he didn't come back. He is just irresponsible. He spends every penny he earns outside and doesn't care about the lives of his wife and children at all.
Seeing Zhao Xueyan's lonely expression, Chen Xiaoying felt uncomfortable too.
If this was her own biological daughter, she would have found a way to kick out the unpromising son-in-law, the third son, long ago, and find another one while she was still young. Even if she had to be alone for the rest of her life, it would be better than dragging around this burden.
But this was just her own idea. If she went to tell Zhao Xueyan that if she didn't want to live with the third brother anymore, they should get divorced, Zhao Xueyan would definitely think that she was trying to drive her away in different ways.
"Xueyan." She couldn't help but call out.
Zhao Xueyan looked over eagerly: "Mom."
Chen Xiaoying was heartbroken when she saw this. She said, "You work hard to earn money. Mom will not give you less than a penny of what is yours. The third child is a worthless person. When you finally come to terms with it, just tell me. I can't let the third child drag you down and the children as well."
When Zhao Xueyan heard this, she was stunned and tears immediately welled up in her eyes.
She lost her mother when she was young and was sick. Her stepmother was afraid that she would be beaten and scolded, so she ignored her. She grew up in a muddle and was married to Li Hongqiang. She never thought in her life that anyone would care about her.
"Yes, Mom." She responded in a hoarse voice and hurried into the kitchen.
Chen Xiaoying sighed, what kind of fate is this.
The fourth son's wife, Yang Xiaohui, ran away angrily and went to the hot pot restaurant to find Li Honggang.
"Your mother said that she won't buy you a house. Tell me what to do."
Li Honggang frowned in confusion: "Impossible, my mother told me to buy it for me."
"Your mother just told me in person that she won't buy it because she thinks you, the fourth child, won't be filial to her." Yang Xiaohui said without hesitation.
The fourth child, Li Honggang, is not easy to deceive now: "I am not unfilial, my mother knows it."
Yang Xiaohui snorted, "Then you decide. Anyway, I'm telling you, if there's no house in the county town, I won't live with you anymore. I mean what I say."
After saying that, he turned around and left, taking his daughter Li Yumeng with him.
The fourth child, Li Honggang, suddenly looked worried. Couldn't she just live a peaceful life? Why did she have to quarrel with him because of her parents' home?
Li Hong had just returned to work at the hot pot restaurant. He knew that he would get off work at 2:30 in the afternoon, and would come back at 5:30 in the evening. While he had free time, he went to look for his mother Chen Xiaoying.
"Mom, what should we do about Yang Xiaohui's issue?" He really had no idea what to do with his wife.
It was past lunchtime and no one was in the restaurant, so only one waiter was left on duty while the others went to rest.
