"You wish!"
The sliding door of the restaurant was slammed shut, and the woman, with her hands on her hips, shouted, "Madam, don't be fooled by her. Meimei never does housework at home."
"If you don't believe me, ask her yourself what I've made her do?"
Jiang Meimei inside couldn't help but retort, "I did it! It was clearly you who thought I didn't do it well and wouldn't let me do it!"
The older generation is really picky about hygiene. Jiang Meimei's mother-in-law insisted that the floor be wiped with a cloth, but Jiang Meimei refused, so she did it herself.
While doing this, he kept grumbling about how lazy Jiang Meimei was.
The two generations have different lifestyles, and Jiang Meimei doesn't understand why she has to be controlled by her mother-in-law.
"You're not my mother, what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
Upon hearing this, the woman in the black cotton-padded jacket became agitated, "You...you wicked woman, you think you're right to have affairs with other men?"
Jiang Meimei, standing behind a door, suddenly mustered the courage to speak: "I'll find him! I'll find another man, but I won't take your son!"
"If that doesn't work, we'll take it to court!"
"Meimei—" Sun Lifang knocked on the door, "Don't fight, let's talk things out."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Meimei felt wronged and burst into tears inside.
The old woman outside, however, remained silent and turned to walk into the living room without uttering a word.
Once they reached the living room, the woman turned around.
At that moment, Sun Lifang also saw the clear tears in her old, cloudy eyes.
She asked, "What should I do? I—"
As she spoke, Zhao Faxia sniffed and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
After the divorce, her grandson had no biological mother, so what good could a stepmother possibly be?
Zhao Faxia never expected that she would encounter such a thing at her age—
"I came here happily to be their nanny and help their little family, how did it turn out like this?"
"When people get old, they should enjoy life. Am I some kind of cheapskate? Why am I here to take care of Meimei during her postpartum period, raising her baby, doing laundry, and cooking for her?"
After raising their son, they still have to raise their grandson. They work hard their whole lives, and in the end, they still get scolded by their daughter-in-law.
Zhao Faxia really didn't understand what she had done wrong.
Does a son sever ties with his mother once he gets married?
"I know it's nice to enjoy the air conditioning and cross your legs, but I can't bear to part with my son and grandson—"
The woman standing nearby complained about her grievances, "Jiang Meimei is so silly. She said she had to take care of the child, and after two days, the child's bottom got all red."
Jiang Meimei was only 17 years old when she became pregnant; she was just a child herself.
Zhao Faxia came to help because she knew nothing about it.
The old woman spoke with reason and evidence: "She said I'm not her mother, but did her mother take care of her during her postpartum period? Did she spend any money on her?"
Oh, you used to look down on your daughter when you were at home, but now that she's married, you say a few nice things to appease her?
"We do all the dirty work, the hard work, and the paid work. When we're enjoying the benefits, we don't say I'm not her mother. But once we've grown up and can fly, we deny everything!"
"Hey, calm down." Sun Lifang poured her a cup of tea and looked towards the restaurant.
Both sides have their own version of events and both feel wronged.
When will Li Zhi come and clean up this mess?
