Looking at Duan Meishan's infatuated expression, Shen Jingyan teased, "Now that Brother Yang is back, he'll be completely captivated by you!"
Duan Meishan blushed.
"You're a mother now, aren't you ashamed to say these things!"
The two got tired of shopping and went home carrying their bags.
As soon as Duan Meishan put the things on the sofa, Yang's mother craned her neck to look.
Duan Meishan was already used to Yang's mother's habitual actions.
Even if she bought two bags of salt, Yang's mother would still come to "inspect" them.
When Yang's mother saw that Duan Meishan had bought several more pieces of clothing, a pair of shoes, and several bottles and jars, her face immediately fell.
Her face was already long, and when it stretched out, it looked like a donkey's face.
"Shanshan, you went shopping again? Did Jingya drag you there? That girl is such a spendthrift. I heard she spent over a thousand yuan just on that TV. She really dares to spend money! You can't follow her example, or this family will be ruined sooner or later!"
On the surface, Yang's mother seemed to be criticizing Shen Jingyan for spending money extravagantly, but in reality, every word she said was directed at Duan Meishan.
After being forced to give up her kindergarten spot by Yang Xueli, Duan Meishan realized a truth: if you are gentle and docile, your in-laws will not think you are virtuous, let alone pity you. On the contrary, they will think you are weak and easy to bully, and they will bully you even more.
Therefore, Duan Meishan felt that sometimes you have to be a little fierce, like Jingya, so that no one dares to mess with you.
Of course, she envied Jingya for having such wonderful in-laws who treated her like their own daughter.

Since your mother-in-law speaks rudely and is unreasonable, why should you be polite to her?
It's amazing that she never forgets to buy things for her mother-in-law every time she goes shopping!
She glanced at a pair of pants in the bag, which she had originally intended to give to Yang's mother.
June is almost here, and the weather can get hot very quickly. She kindly wanted to buy her mother-in-law a summer dress.
But Yang's mother immediately accused her of being wasteful, so she said she wouldn't see her off!
This summer vacation, I'm planning to take Tian Tian back to my hometown to visit her parents. They live in the countryside and they're reluctant to wear nice clothes to themselves!
Giving it to your mother-in-law won't earn you a good reputation; it's better to give it to your own mother!
With that thought in mind, she calmly gathered the bags on the sofa and went into the bedroom without saying a word.
When Yang's mother saw that Duan Meishan was ignoring her, her temper flared up instantly.
Her words became increasingly vicious and offensive.

"All you ever do is spend money! My son has been away on business for so long, and I'm just trying to earn enough to support you two. Do you know how hard that is? You don't care about your own man at all; all you do is dress up in fancy clothes!"
Duan Meishan walked out of the bedroom with a cold smile on her lips.
"Mom, ask yourself honestly, was what you just said reasonable? Xuechang has been away on a business trip for a long time, but I gave you his entire monthly allowance of 158 yuan. The money I spent shopping and buying things for Tiantian was all from my salary. If Xuechang knew that the money he gave us for supporting the family wasn't spent on me and Tiantian, but went into your pocket, then he would be the one who would care about me!"
Yang's mother was stunned by what Duan Meishan said.
She only dares to act like a tyrant in this family because Duan Meishan is gentle and doesn't like to argue.
Unexpectedly, Duan Meishan has become so sharp-tongued!
Enraged, she stopped speaking logically and started spitting as she spoke:
"What do you mean, your money and my money? Why are we family members so particular about money? You gave me Xuechang's stipend, but I didn't touch it! I'm saving it for you! If I hadn't saved some money, you would have squandered it all!"
"Then your worries are really unnecessary."
Duan Meishan sneered, "Since the money has been given to you, you can spend it as you please. You don't need to worry about our family. I earn enough to live on."
After saying that, she slammed the door shut in front of Yang's mother.
Yang's mother was furious and wanted to kick the bedroom door.
Mr. Yang came over and pulled Mrs. Yang back into the living room, advising, "Alright! Just shut up for a bit! Shanshan wasn't wrong!"
"Didn't you hear how awful she was talking? What kind of daughter-in-law talks to her mother-in-law like that? If this happened back in my hometown, I would have slapped her across the face!"
Mr. Yang quickly gestured for her to lower her voice: "Isn't it because you spoke rudely? People buy things with their own wages, what right do you have to say they're wasteful? Did they spend your money? If you ask me, Shanshan has been good enough to us! We eat and live in their house, and we haven't helped them at all, yet they've given us so much money. If you ask me, you shouldn't have accepted Xuechang's stipend!"
Yang's mother retorted, "Why should I not take my son's money?"
Mr. Yang was good-natured, and seeing Mrs. Yang's greedy look, he simply shook his head.
Actually, he didn't approve of Yang's mother accepting her son's allowance, fearing it would damage the young couple's relationship.
Yang's father couldn't understand why Yang's mother looked down on Duan Meishan, who was so understanding.
"Fine, fine, you can have it. Nobody said you couldn't."
Due to the confidential nature of Gu Zhiyun's work, even though the news of the satellite launch was known throughout the country, he was still on the confidentiality list.
Shen Jingyan couldn't go to pick him up; she could only wait for him at home.
Gu Zhiyun was already eager to return home.
On the train, he would check his watch every ten minutes.
He rarely felt so anxious.
As the train drew closer to the capital's train station, the excitement in his heart grew stronger.
After getting off the train, he and Yang Xuechang rushed out of the station, hailed a taxi, and headed straight home.
Taxis are not cheap, and they usually can't afford to take one.
But at this moment, what could be more important or urgent than seeing his wife?
