Huang Meiling answered without turning her head, walking into the house as she went.
"I'm going to sort out all the money I've spent on Xie Wanying over the years, so that if she denies it, we can have evidence to make her pay back the money!"
"We must not show any mercy to such heartless people. We must make them suffer even more so that they can better reflect on whether their past actions were right or wrong, and truly repent and start anew!"
"Besides, that's money our family should have spent on Mingzhu. It should have been returned to us. Why should we give it to her? We shouldn't let her have it even if it's just to feed the dogs!"
Huang Meiling walked into the room, pulled open a drawer, and while rummaging through it, turned her head to comfort Xie Mingzhu.
"Mingzhu, don't worry, Mom will stand up for you. This time, I will definitely not let you suffer any more grievances! I keep a record of almost every expense, and even if there are no receipts, I still keep accounts. I will definitely not let Xie Wanying get away with this!"
"Wait a minute, I'll sort out all the money I've spent on Xie Wanying over the years, as well as all the money Xie Wanying has secretly taken home to subsidize the Fang family. Then we'll take all this evidence and go to the Fang family to demand it all back!"
"Also, Xie Wanying has been coming home frequently to steal things lately. The Fang family must still have savings and belongings that she has hidden. We'll go look for them later. Even if we can't find them, we can submit the information to the police or file a lawsuit directly."
"In any case, not a single penny of this money can be missing!"
"From this day forward, no one may steal or take anything that belongs to my daughter!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Wenyuan immediately stood up and went into the room as well.
"Meiling, let me help you sort this out. Let's finish as soon as possible and go get Mingzhu's things back!"
Shu Ying raised both hands in support.
"Mom and Dad are right! If you need any help, just let me know. Count me in when we go to the Fang family to collect the debt. Our whole family will be there to support my sister!"
"Excellent! You truly are worthy of being our family's daughter-in-law!"
The three of them—the parents-in-law, the father-in-law, and the mother-in-law—smiled at each other.
Xie Mingzhu, listening from the side, was both moved and somewhat amused.
Her parents are so good to her.
This is what she imagined her parents and family should be like...
"I never imagined I would actually live in a family like this... It's something I never even dared to dream of before."
"I even feel that my current life is so good it's almost unreal."
Seeing Xie Mingzhu's eyes brimming with tears, Shu Ying reached out and hugged her.
"Sister, all of this is true. Not only now, but from now on you will live in this family, and we will always be with you."
"No matter what happens in the future, we will always be there to support you. Don't be afraid, sister. Be brave and choose the life you want again!"
"Yes, Mingzhu. We named you Mingzhu so that you would know that you are the apple of our eye, that we will always be there for you, and that we are your support!"
Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan spoke each word with force and conviction.
Xie Mingzhu was even more moved and went up to hug her parents.
At that moment, she truly felt the warmth of home.
She finally has a real home.
At dinner time, Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan cooked together, which was a rare occasion. Although their skills were a bit rusty, they still managed to make a large table full of delicious dishes, which smelled wonderful.
As Shu Ying and Xie Mingzhu came downstairs, they were greeted by a fragrant aroma that almost made them dizzy.
When I got to the table, I saw stir-fried asparagus with pork, salt and pepper spare ribs, freshly fried yellow croaker, various green vegetables... and the main soup was actually corn sweet soup.
The refreshing, sweet fragrance wafted into her nostrils, and Xie Mingzhu's throat moved.
