Everyone else rolled their eyes. Why is a grown man so gossipy?
Young Master Bai sneered, "You don't know anything. Gossip is the greatest pleasure in life."
After chatting for a while, Young Master Bai couldn't take it anymore, yawned, and went upstairs to sleep. The others went home and dispersed.
Zhao Xiaochuan wasn't in a hurry. Despite her pregnant belly, she walked slowly for more than an hour before finally arriving home.
The lights in the yard were all off, and everyone in the family was asleep. Zhao Xiaochuan felt relieved, thinking he could finally have some peace and quiet today. He carefully went back to his room, not even daring to turn on the light, and quietly took off his clothes.
He sighed to himself, thinking that he had been working from dawn till dusk all day, and even when the God of Wealth came knocking on his door, he wasn't home. He wondered how his life had come to this.
"Young Master Bai is back?" Xie Dan, Zhao Xiaochuan's wife, suddenly asked from her bedside, startling him.
Clutching her pounding heart, she asked, "You're still awake?"
Xie Dan: "I can't sleep, so I'm asking you, is it really Young Master Bai who's back, or are you just making excuses to hide away and not want to come back?"
"I'm really back. If you don't believe me, go to the Li family's house tomorrow. This is my house. Why would I hide away?" Zhao Xiaochuan said somewhat guiltily.
"Heh, you're like a dog's tail in a sack, what are you trying to hide? When will you stop hiding like a coward?" Xie Danteng sat up in bed.
"What happened now?" Zhao Xiaochuan rubbed his temples. Judging from the situation, this was no small matter.
“Your son doesn’t do his homework during the holidays. All he does is watch TV and play. Today I asked him to do his homework, and he went against me, saying I’m a bad mother and that he was going to shoot me with a gun or slit my neck with a knife. Your mother was grinning and laughing. When I tried to hit your son, your mother blocked me and said I didn’t know how to raise my child.”
"Zhao Xiaochuan, that's my son. Can't I even discipline him? Your mother likes sons so much, why doesn't she have her own? Why does she keep clinging to my son all the time? She'll be satisfied when he grows up and becomes useless." Xie Dan became angrier as she spoke, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Look at what you're saying. My mother is so old, and she still has children. She just loves her grandson. I'll talk to her about it tomorrow," Zhao Xiaochuan said, trying to smooth things over.
"You say that every day, but what's the use? Your mother still does what she always does. She has to come over and smell even if we fart in our room. There's nothing she doesn't care about." Xie Dan was really angry today.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Why are you saying such awful things? How can you talk to your elders like that? She just spoils the child a little, is it really necessary for you to get so angry?"
"Fine, I'm petty, I don't respect my elders. You go tell your mother tomorrow morning that she's already so old, what difference does it make if she lives one more day or one less? Tell her to die sooner, and see if she gets angry or hits you! If she doesn't get angry, I won't get angry even if my son talks to me about it later." The room was dark, and Xie Dan glared at Zhao Xiaochuan.
Zhao Xiaochuan... if he dares to say that, his mother would dig him up.
"That's my mom, what can I do? She's taken care of the whole family her whole life, it hasn't been easy for her, don't take it to heart."
Xie Dan wiped away her tears. "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Whoever's mother has it tough should make amends. If your mother has it tough, it's because your father is incompetent. What does it have to do with me? Let me tell you, starting tomorrow, I won't tolerate this anymore. If I don't take care of the child, he'll be spoiled rotten by your mother. From now on, whoever wants to make me unhappy will suffer."
Zhao Xiaochuan was at his wits' end. "Wife, I'm sorry, you're definitely right to discipline the child. Tomorrow I'll talk to my mom. If you have any grievances, take them out on me. My mom is an elder after all. Please be considerate of her for my sake."
