Seeing that the old lady had stopped arguing, Ye Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his head and saw Ye Lan still sobbing, while Shen Yanhong was helping to wash clothes. He frowned and shouted, "Let Lan'er wash her own clothes. Mother is right. What kind of girl is she who can't even wash her own clothes!"
Even if Ye Lan's health is poor, she can still wash clothes, right? But Shen Yan Hong is afraid of tiring her daughter, so she doesn't let Ye Lan do any work except wash a few dishes.
He used to be too lazy to care, but now that his mother can't stand it, he naturally has to do something about it.
Shen Yanhong felt a pang of bitterness in her heart and retorted, "Lan'er's hand is in such a state..."
When Ye Zhiguo saw the bruises and welts on Ye Lan's hands, he softened a little and lowered his voice, "Lan'er, hang in there, don't make your grandma angry."
Ye Lan nodded, "Yes, I will wash it. Mom and Dad, please come inside!"
Ye Zhiguo's eyes showed relief; his eldest daughter was still the most sensible.
Shen Yanhong felt sorry for her daughter and complained softly, "Your mother hit Lan'er as soon as she arrived, and she'll definitely continue to do so. Lan'er is also her granddaughter, how could she..."
"Shut up! What's wrong with my mother hitting her granddaughter a few times? You're the one who talks too much!"
Ye Zhiguo interrupted Shen Yanhong's complaints, his eyes flashing a warning. Shen Yanhong felt bitter; it was always like this, and she couldn't even speak out. How much longer would she and her child have to endure this?
Her Lan'er and Xiao Hua are clearly members of the Ye family, so why should they be disliked by this old hag?
“It’s fine if others don’t say anything, but why can’t we say anything to your mother? If we do, your mother won’t dislike Lan’er and Xiao Hua anymore…” Shen Yanhong felt more and more aggrieved. Her own children were not as well off as the children she had been with. She was not willing to accept it!
Ye Zhiguo's eyes turned cold. "If you dare to utter a single word in front of my mother, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Shen Yanhong felt a chill run down her spine, remembering the man's ruthless and cold-hearted nature, and quickly shook her head, "I won't say... I definitely won't say."
She didn't want to end up like Xu Yali.
She still has a long life ahead of her!
Ye Zhiguo snorted softly, quite satisfied with Shen Yanhong's submissiveness. He liked obedient women, and he would never tolerate a woman who opposed him, no matter how beautiful she was!
The background of Ye Lan and her brother must never be told to the old lady. No one knows a mother better than her son. His mother is a very gossipy person and will spread even the smallest things. He should be filial to his mother, but the secret must never be shared.
He's doing quite well at the factory now, and he's a Party member. If news of his lifestyle issues gets out, his future is definitely over.
Therefore... this secret must be kept forever.
Ye Zhiguo was always an upright and honest comrade in public.
When Shen Yanhong entered the house, she felt even more annoyed to see that the old lady had taken over her space. What she hated most was having someone use her kitchen. The seasonings and tools in the kitchen were all arranged according to her habits, but with the old woman coming, everything was in chaos.
Moreover, she couldn't get used to the old woman's cooking. She was stingy with oil and put too much salt in it, so she couldn't eat a single bite. Lan'er and Xiao Hua didn't like it either.
Shen Yanhong knew that she couldn't win against the old lady openly, so she had to find a way to appease Ye Zhiguo.
Feeling annoyed by what she saw downstairs, Shen Yanhong went upstairs to see her son. But when she saw the wounds on Ye Hua's hands and listened to Ye Hua's tearful complaints, Shen Yanhong's anger flared up even more, and she almost ground her teeth to powder.
That brat has found someone to back her and that idiot up!
She underestimated this brat.
Shen Yanhong sneered. She would never let this brat be so smug. The old hag would be gone in a week at most!
