Ye Qingqing's instigation made the old lady deeply resent Shen Yanhong, and by extension, she also despised Ye Lan and her brother. She cursed them every day. Ye Lan used to complain that going to work was too hard, but now she felt that no matter how tiring the shoe factory was, it was much easier than going home.
The mother and son, Shen Yanhong and Ye Hua, who stayed at home, lived in misery every day, suffering terribly.
Especially Shen Yanhong, she was alright when Ye Zhiguo was at home, but as soon as he went to work, the old lady took on the role of a wicked mother-in-law.
"The clothes were washed, the floor was mopped, the yard was swept, the tables and cabinets were wiped clean, there was a layer of grease in the kitchen, so I wiped it with hot water, and the weeds in the ground were too tall, so I pulled them out..."
As soon as Ye Zhiguo left, the old lady's attitude changed, and she started arranging for Shen Yanhong to do chores.
"Mom, my hand isn't healed yet," Shen Yanhong protested, looking haggard with dark circles under her eyes, unlike her usual radiant self.
The old woman glared at her with her triangular eyes, "Both hands are broken? Get back to work! If you don't do it, make your wild son do it!"
Ye Hua, who was eating rice porridge and pickled vegetables with a bitter face, trembled and looked at Shen Yanhong pleadingly. He didn't want to work at all!
Shen Yanhong felt sorry for her son and had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree. The old lady, like a rooster that had won a battle, held her head high and went to the shady spot in the yard to paste paper boxes.
"Mom, this rice porridge is awful. I want to eat meat!" Ye Hua struggled to eat a bite of rice porridge and pickled vegetables, then looked enviously at Ye Tong, who was also eating across from her.
Ye Tong gets to eat meat at every meal, but he can only eat pickled vegetables. Why is that?
Shen Yanhong felt bitter inside, but comforted herself, "There will be meat to eat when Mom goes to work!"
Rather than being abused by that old hag at home, it's better to go to work. Let Ye Zhiguo put in a good word with the canteen manager and I'll do some easy work. It's better than suffering at home.
Moreover, at least in the cafeteria, we can eat better and bring back some good food to increase Hua'er and Lan'er's nutrition. How can their bodies stand eating pickled vegetables every day?
"Mom, go to work! I haven't had meat in ages!"
Ye Hua's eyes lit up, and he urged Shen Yanhong to go to work repeatedly, his mouth practically watering at the seams!
Shen Yanhong smiled, but a bitter feeling welled up in her heart.
Last night, after returning to her room, Ye Zhiguo hit her, but the blows were hidden, so there were no visible marks. She had known all along that the man was cold-hearted and ruthless, but she still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking that after all, she had been with Ye Zhiguo for over twenty years, and even a dog would have developed feelings for him by now!
But reality slapped her hard in the face.
She's dreaming too much!
In Ye Zhiguo's heart, she was not even worth as much as a dog; only the old hag and Ye Qingqing's fortune were the most important things.
Shen Yanhong lowered her head to eat, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips, her eyes flashing with a chilling light.
Ye Zhiguo, Ye Zhiguo, since you are so heartless and ungrateful, don't blame her for stealing your thunder!
Ye Qingqing overheard the conversation between the mother and son and sneered inwardly. Although Shen Yanhong was not a good person, she was genuinely good to her children, especially Ye Hua, whom she would give her heart and soul to.
But despite Shen Yanhong's heartfelt devotion, she has raised two ungrateful children, and signs of this are already becoming apparent.
Ye Hua was so focused on eating meat that he didn't even notice that Shen Yanhong had lost her hand. He only knew to urge her to go to work and bring meat back to eat. The thirteen-year-old boy was already quite sensible. Even though Ye Tong had mental problems, he knew to share good food with Ye Qingqing, Tie Dan, or Pipi and Lu Mo. He would never eat alone.
Ye Qingqing sneered inwardly. Even if she didn't deal with Shen Yanhong, this woman would definitely suffer and get her comeuppance from Ye Lan and her brother, those two ungrateful wretches, when she got old!
However, she couldn't wait that long.
She disliked the idea that "a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."
She likes to settle scores on the spot and never lets them linger until the New Year!
