Tian Daying wanted to find out how much money Zhou Yunshi had given Chen Yan, but Sun Lifang didn't say.
He simply said, "I'll transfer the New Year's money to you at the bank in a couple of days. As for taking care of the children, I'll handle that myself."
Instead of hearing her daughter's complaints and hearing her daughter take her side, Tian Daying felt a little uncomfortable. "Your mother-in-law is so young, and she went to a nursing home. Do you still send her money for the New Year?"
See? This clearly points out the key point.
It turns out that Tian Daying is acting like a mother-in-law, refusing to take care of the child and still wanting the same treatment as Chen Yan.
She said, "After a while, I'll go and visit the nursing home to see if we're lucky enough to be there."
This was a test of Sun Lifang's bottom line.
"Oh, that's just wishful thinking," Sun Lifang interrupted her fantasy. "He has two sons, and he already had over 100,000 yuan before he married me."
"The nursing home was funded by both sons together. They already had money, so what are you comparing?"
What do you have to compare with them?
Compared to a poor rural woman like Chen Yan, who is a sophisticated urban woman.
Upon hearing this, Tian Daying choked, and after a long while, she finally said, "Isn't it because I have you?"
Oh, this isn't a comparison, this is making demands on Sun Lifang.
The initial investment is different, but everyone wants to get the same return.
Sun Lifang didn't know what to say to her, so she just said, "Then you'd better not count on me. Count on your son instead."
"They only have their current life because of their son."
Before Tian Daying could refute, Sun Lifang continued, "According to you, if a mother-in-law can't help her son-in-law take care of his children, then there's no reason in the world for a son-in-law to support his mother-in-law in her old age."
"A daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; you need to make your own logical statements."
In the past, Tian Daying always used "family ties" to blur the line, making all sorts of demands. Sun Lifang is no longer buying it and tells her, "If I give you money, you can take it. If I don't give you any more, you can't say anything, can you?"
"According to what you're saying, how many daughters in rural areas still receive a dowry after marriage?"
Without any emotional bias, Sun Lifang was simply stating the truth.
Tian Daying, however, sensed something else. She asked Sun Lifang, "Are you angry?"
Are you angry that I won't help you take care of the kids?
The three reasons given earlier have all been refuted by Sun Lifang.
Since it was his own words, there's no way to refute them.
Tian Daying muttered, "My daughter doesn't care about herself and doesn't understand how hard it is for her to be a mother-in-law. She'll definitely be looked down upon by her daughter-in-law if she goes to Shanghai."
Sun Lifang didn't reply.
Tian Daying asked her to understand the difficulties she faced as a mother-in-law, but who has ever understood her difficulties?
At this point, dwelling on nostalgia is useless, and Sun Lifang doesn't want to fall into an emotional trap by talking about these things, feeling sorry for herself.
She told Tian Daying to face reality, "I will give you the gift money that is due, but don't think about anything else."
"Thinking about it is useless. The moment you arrive in Shanghai, I'll call your sister-in-law."
Seize Tian Daying's fatal weakness—
Tian Daying was afraid of her daughter-in-law.
Who would have thought that Tian Daying, a man who favors sons over daughters, would be afraid of his daughter-in-law?
It can be said that evil people will eventually be punished by evil people.
The daughter-in-law's constant tantrums and crying made the whole village aware of the "good deed" Tian Daying had done.
Sun Lifang, who had received an education, wouldn't do something so shameless and unreasonable, but her sister-in-law could.
It is said that several times before, Tian Daying tried to act like a wicked mother-in-law and set rules for her daughter-in-law, but she was harassed.
They subdued Tian Daying in no time.
Now, Sun Lifang is extremely grateful to Tian Daying for exposing her own weakness, saying how bad her daughter-in-law is, thus revealing a vulnerability.
Isn't this what people do when they get arrested?
She dares to give it a try!
