What difference does it make whether I offend them or not?
"You always gave in to them before, but I never saw you benefit from it." Gu Yanhe didn't seem to care and casually lifted her eyelids.
Zhou Wu was speechless; the tone of her voice was truly unpleasant.
"Yanhe, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking like you've taken a gun?"
And also, you were really too harsh with your mother today; look how angry you made her.”
Seeing that he was still rambling on and on, Gu Yanhe became a little impatient. "If you care so much about your mother, then why don't you move in and live with her?"
They still think I'm on fire? Let me tell you, if I don't take a tough stance today...
You'll probably have to pay out of your own pocket today!
When the topic of money came up, Zhou Wu felt somewhat guilty.
He hadn't taken it seriously when Gu Yanhe hadn't produced this stack of prescriptions.
I just felt that she was being a bit petty. It's just going to the hospital to get some medicine, how much could it cost?
Besides, it's only right and proper for him to be filial to his own mother. Why is she always arguing with her brothers?
It's really difficult for me to give him the cold shoulder all day long, isn't it?
But now, looking at this thick stack of prescriptions and having obtained accurate data, he suddenly felt extremely guilty.
It turns out that they hadn't failed to save any money over the years; they had simply spent it all.
"Then you should speak more politely. Look how upset you've made Mother. Her health isn't good to begin with. What if she gets seriously injured from anger?" he muttered under his breath.
"How could I not have spoken to her properly? Is your mother the kind of person who can be spoken to properly?"
"Haven't you figured her out after all these years?" Looking at his evasive eyes, a sudden thought flashed through her mind.
"Zhou Wu, don't tell me that you went to my parents' house to pick me up today just to get money."
"I..." Could he say that this was the truth?
He argued with his mother for a long time at home yesterday before getting this result.
Mother said that from now on, the three brothers will split her medicine costs equally, starting with this.
so………
Gu Yanhe's face darkened instantly, and her eyes stared at him coldly.
She thought he knew he was wrong and that's why he came to pick her up.
It turned out that she had taken all the money from home, and he had no money to split the medical expenses, which was why he rushed to her parents' house to pick her up.
If she hadn't taken the money, would he have ignored her at all?
After all, she knew how unwilling he was to take care of the family.
"Zhou Wu, I have always lived a down-to-earth life with you since we got married."
No matter how tough or tiring it is, I'll grit my teeth and bear it.
You're afraid of my family, so for your sake, I rarely go back to my parents' home.
But what have you done for me?
"Yanhe, I..." He was at a loss for words when she asked him. He instinctively wanted to refute her, but he felt like he couldn't.
"All you ever do is talk about your mother."
A few years ago, when we had just gotten married.
Back then, the whole family lived together. I was busy with housework and farming every day, and I was so tired that I could barely straighten my back.
But you said your mother is sickly and has it hard, and your sister-in-law is busy taking care of the children and can't spare a hand.
The third son's wife just came in and told me not to compare myself to her.
You can understand everyone's hardships, but you never think about me.
"Am I just destined to be worked to death?" Gu Yanhe almost couldn't contain her anger when she talked about the grievances she had suffered over the years.
She sighed again, realizing she had been blinded by greed and wondered what kind of person she had married.
I wanted to marry him back then because he was good-looking and honest.
But now it seems that this person is a complete coward.
Not only are they incompetent, but they also don't know how to protect their own families.
She only acted like a shrew because she saw that he was gentle.
Unexpectedly, the first thing he did upon returning was to reprimand her for not being respectful enough to his mother.
"Yanhe, I'm so sorry you've suffered all these years," Zhou Wu said softly, bowing his head with a look of shame.
"That phrase again."
"Zhou Wu, is that all you can say besides this sentence?" She was touched when she first heard this sentence.
I always feel that although life is tough, as long as I can be with the person I love, suffering is nothing.
But later, every time she complained to him, he would say the same thing, without even changing his expression.
Gradually, she felt that these words were becoming less and less comforting to her.
He always just said those words so casually, getting no benefit in return, but it was always her who suffered.
After hearing it so many times, she began to resent the phrase and loathe his cowardly nature.
He only knew how to comfort her behind her back, but he didn't even have the courage to stand up for her face to face.
Other men know to protect their wives, but he doesn't.
hehe
Everyone tells her to be understanding, but why doesn't anyone understand her?
The thought of these things filled her with resentment, and her gaze towards him grew increasingly cold.
Zhou Wu sat on the stool, head drooping, letting her nag, just like in the past.
Seeing his attitude, Gu Yanhe was furious and shouted at her.
“Zhou Wu, even if you don’t care about me, you should at least care about the two kids.”
They've never eaten anything good since they were born.
Do you know why your daughter doesn't want to go home today?
"It's because there's all sorts of good food at my parents' house that she doesn't want to come back."
Recalling Zhou Lanlan's behavior that morning, Zhou Wu felt somewhat discouraged. He had even wanted to beat her up, but he hadn't expected it to be for this reason.
He muttered, "When you go to the market, buy some snacks for them to try."
"Don't you want to use all your wealth to support your mother?" Gu Yanhe sneered.
After a long pause, Zhou Wu finally spoke softly, "From now on, you'll be in charge of things at home. I'll... listen to you."
"Let's split the cost among the three parties as agreed."
Gu Yanhe curved her lips into a bitter smile.
This world bullies honest people. It's true, it's always more satisfying to be the bad guy.
She was such a good-natured person back in her parents' home; everyone praised her.
But so what? After living in this house for several years, I was still driven to become a shrew by them.
Let's talk about Su Nianxue.
The group was making tofu when Taozi came in carrying a string of meat.
Su Nianxue laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you should keep it for yourselves. Why did you go to all the trouble of bringing it to us?"
"You still dare to say that? I already told you at noon to bring some back to eat."
"But you just left without a word, making me make an extra trip." Taozi handed the hanging meat to Gu Yanliu.
"Sister-in-law, please sit for a while. I'll make you some soy milk later." Gu Yanliu took the meat and went to the kitchen.
“Okay, I’ll wait.” Taozi didn’t stand on ceremony. She went inside and brought out a stool, then sat down next to Su Nianxue.
