Madam Yang looked down at the broken teacup at her feet and her eldest daughter-in-law protecting her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
She knew before she married into the family that the man she was marrying was a son of a concubine, and that she would likely be harassed by her stepmother and mother-in-law.
If it's a biological son, at least the mother-in-law will consider the feelings of her own son, but the legal wife may not.
However, she met her stepmother once and found that her stepmother was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and that she went to burn incense and pray to Buddha every month, which showed that she was a compassionate person.
So she married him despite her parents' objections.
On the second day after the wedding, when he served tea to his stepmother, she was rather cold and hard. She said directly that she would entrust all the affairs of the mansion to her from now on, and her only requirement was that he be quiet and not do anything shady.
She was filled with trepidation and immense gratitude towards her mother-in-law.
Because she knew that every other woman who married into a wealthy family suffered hardship.
Although her stepmother was not close to her, she never made things difficult for her and even directly handed over the power of managing the household to her, for which she was extremely grateful.
She told her family many times that her stepmother was easy to get along with and a very good person.
She never expected that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had never quarreled for years, would now make her lose face in front of her daughter-in-law.
Kneel down!
Old Madam Yang slammed her hand on the bed and loudly questioned her.
Hai Qiongfang said anxiously, "Grandmother, this is not Mother's fault. Dashan and the others wanted to leave, how could Mother stop them?"
"Shut up."
"Shut up."
The two shouts of "Shut up!" left Hai Qiongfang somewhat stunned.
Madam Yang shoved Hai Qiongfang aside and said indifferently, "This is none of your business. Get out."
"……yes."
Hai Qiongfang lowered her head and slowly retreated.
Madam Yang knelt down very politely and respectfully, but her back remained ramrod straight.
"You know perfectly well that I can't live without Changsheng, so why did you let them leave?" Old Madam Yang really hadn't expected this.
I was so tired that I only slept for a short while, and then Changsheng was taken away by that bastard Chi Dashan!
“Da Shan took away his own son, and his daughter-in-law really didn’t know how to stop him,” Madam Yang replied calmly.
It is impossible to stop it, both emotionally and rationally.
If anyone's to blame, it's the mother-in-law herself.
They've created their own trap; who can they blame but themselves?
"You! You're doing great! Since Changsheng isn't by my side, then go and bring her to me from Sister Zhuang so I can raise her. I'll raise my own great-granddaughter; surely no one will object to taking Sister Zhuang away?"
"Mother-in-law?!"
Madam Yang was greatly alarmed.
If we were to take care of Sister Zhuang, it's not like the old lady hadn't tried before, but the old lady refused.
Now that Changsheng is gone, the old lady has proposed to take care of Sister Zhuang. The more I hear this, the more chills I feel.
"What, can't this old woman like me even take care of her own great-granddaughter?" Madam Yang didn't cry or make a fuss, but calmly told Madam Yang, "Whenever Changsheng returns, you can take Zhuang-jie away."
"Alright, I'm tired, let's go."
Madam Yang was very impatient.
Granny Qin pinched 120 small fingers and massaged the old lady.
Having served her master for fifty years, Granny Qin suddenly felt as if she no longer recognized him.
What is Master trying to do?
"……yes."
Madam Yang suppressed her anger and left.
What else can we do if we don't refund?
Even if my mother-in-law says that she is the direct grandmother and taking care of her own great-granddaughter, she can't just stop her, can she?
But thinking about what her mother-in-law had just said, Madam Yang felt that this was a threat!
no!
We can't let Sister Zhuang go to the old lady's yard.
"Has the master not returned yet?"
Not yet.
"How is the Third Young Mistress? Has she woken up?"
"...No, the doctor said there's nothing seriously wrong. As for why the Third Young Mistress hasn't woken up yet, perhaps..."
Madam Yang sneered and directly ordered, "Carry the Third Young Mistress onto the carriage and send her back to her parents' home. At the same time, send a capable and efficient person to tell the in-laws everything that happened today."
Then immediately bring Sister Tong to my courtyard. From now on, without my permission, the Third Young Mistress is not allowed to see Sister Tong.
Of all her grandchildren, Madam Yang disliked Tong the most.
Even if you don't like it, you can't just ignore it!
Otherwise, the Yang family might very well have been ruined by this girl!
"yes."
"Find another capable and strong person to accompany the young lady back."
Despite her anger, Madam Yang managed to arrange everything in an orderly manner.
Managing a large family is never an easy task.
"Also, warn the servants who serve the Chi family: anyone who dares to lay a hand on them again will be sold off!"
A dog that can't recognize its master isn't worth keeping.
After everything was arranged, Madam Yang returned to her own courtyard to rest for a while.
My head is killing me right now.
Just as she instructed the maid to brew the medicine, Michelle Yeoh brought over a bowl of lotus seed soup.
“Mother, this lotus seed soup is the best for calming the mind and reducing internal heat. Please try it.” Michelle Yeoh felt very sorry for her mother, who looked tired. “Mother, you don’t need to do everything yourself. You can ask your sister-in-law to help manage things. Your health is the most important thing.”
Upon seeing her daughter, Madam Yang was delighted. She sat down and finished a bowl of lotus seed soup, feeling much better afterward.
"This ice chest is so useful. The lotus seed soup is so refreshing. I'm eating it now, it's the best way to cool down." Madam Yang wiped her mouth, but she was a little regretful that she hadn't done business with the Chi family back then.
Looking at the items that the Chi family is selling now, aren't they all incredibly popular?
If I had gotten a share of the profits back then, I would be making a lot of money now.
Michelle Yeoh nodded: "That's true, but Mother, your heart is burning right now, so it's best not to eat anything cold like that. The combination of hot and cold might upset you."
"knew."
Although Madam Yang complained, she was actually very pleased inside.
How could I feel uncomfortable being cared for by my daughter?
"You should go back in a little while, so your in-laws won't gossip." Madam Yang really wanted her daughter to stay.
The problem is that my daughter hasn't had any children yet, so she's already being harassed by her in-laws.
It's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble at this time.
Waiting for my daughter to give birth!
“Mother, I’m worried about you. Really, let my sister-in-law try to do some things.” Michelle Yeoh said.
Madam Yang opened her eyes: "What benefits did you receive from your sister-in-law?"
"Mother!" Michelle Yeoh said coquettishly.
"Alright, Mother won't tease you anymore. Mother knows your sister-in-law is a good person, it's just that the family situation is a bit complicated... In a couple of years, Mother will stop interfering in everything and just let your sister-in-law come."
Madam Yang said vaguely.
Michelle Yeoh was quick-witted and immediately understood her mother's meaning.
These past two years, all we've been waiting for is for the old lady to pass away.
Thinking about what happened today, Michelle Yeoh couldn't help but sigh: "Grandma used to be so reasonable, how did she become like this? What business is it of yours if Brother Dashan wants to leave?"
As a daughter, it's natural to feel indignant on behalf of her mother.
