The other families in the courtyard were thoroughly enjoying the spectacle the Huang family was putting on.
Every day after Su He got off work, the first thing she did was to inquire about the Huang family's progress.
After hearing Steen refuse the stern-faced older sister, she knew that the outcome was probably already decided.
As expected, things unfolded exactly as she had predicted.
After Aunt Ren was discharged from the hospital and returned, she perked up again.
After transferring the house to their second son's name, the elderly couple became noticeably quieter, even going out to chat less often.
After returning this time, Aunt Ren changed her usual ways and would come out to sit whenever she had free time, and Shi Fen no longer dared to ask her to do any work.
Now, even if she feels aggrieved, she doesn't dare to do anything. Her husband was recently talked to by the factory leaders, and when he came back, he scolded her again.
But she was also very frustrated!
Now, only one person in the whole family has a job, and with such a small salary, it's already difficult to support so many people, including the elderly and children. If there's another person who just freeloads, how can they possibly manage?
Furthermore, the elderly couple knew that the family was struggling financially, and that all their savings had been spent on their eldest child, so they felt bad about eating and drinking for free. They would help with cooking and childcare, which saved her a lot of trouble.
They also stick matchboxes together occasionally, which helps supplement household income.
Now, they just do absolutely nothing.
My mother-in-law is always feeling unwell and sits by the door every day, acting like an old empress dowager.
My father-in-law always has a cold face, and I have to be careful to deal with him, for fear that one day he will be in a bad mood and call the factory workers over.
My brother-in-law just eats and sleeps all day long; he acts like a big shot.
No, you should say this whole family are all bosses.
She was just a lowly maid, and she had to be careful to serve them.
Shi Fen felt more and more aggrieved the more she thought about it.
For several days in a row, her husband looked at her with disdain, as if she were a complete stranger.
She felt aggrieved; who was she doing this for?
Isn't it all for the sake of this family?
Why is it all her fault now?
Shi Fen felt increasingly upset. After being mocked by her mother-in-law once again, she couldn't help but retort. As a result, the whole family acted as if she had committed some terrible crime.
The mother-in-law clutched her chest, saying she was upset. The father-in-law coldly told her to be filial. The husband scolded her for being immature. The younger brother-in-law added fuel to the fire.
Sphen was trembling with rage. He wanted to retort, but suddenly felt as if he couldn't breathe. He felt a tightness in his chest, his vision went black, and he fell backward, losing consciousness...
...
Su He was having dinner at home when she heard the panicked sounds coming from the Huang family's house, which surprised her quite a bit.
Is Aunt Ren in trouble again?
As soon as they came out, they saw Huang Lao Er carrying Shi Fen and running out in a panic.
Seeing this, the other residents in the compound all asked, "Aunt Ren, what happened to your daughter-in-law?"
Aunt Ren's face was also very unpleasant. She said sarcastically, "Young people these days are all so delicate. I haven't even reacted to a few words, and she, who's always been healthy, fainted. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to behave myself from now on. You really can't say anything to them..."
The others exchanged bewildered glances. What did that mean? Was she implying that her daughter-in-law was faking it?
Looking at Grandpa Huang's face, which also looked unwell, and Old Man Huang's expression of watching a show, everyone felt that they had guessed correctly.
The conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Huang family has been going on for so long. I thought Aunt Ren had won, but I didn't expect there to be a sequel. I just don't know if Shi Fen's move today will be effective.
Everyone was concerned about the situation at the Huang family's place. Just before bedtime, Huang Lao Er finally returned.
