The old lady said, "Why? That's the money my son earned, is that yours? Why do you give it all to your mother's family?"
Jiang Xiu'e said, "I have made contributions to this family. Half of the money he earns is mine, and I have the right to spend it."
"It's your duty to marry my son and take care of the family. What wife would dare to give the money your husband risked his life to his brother? Xiangdong, divorce her immediately. A woman like her will squander your family fortune sooner or later. A fool like her will also give birth to a foolish son. You're only in your early forties, and a regiment commander. It won't be difficult for you to find a younger woman and give birth to a smart son. Who would want a woman like her with a yellow face and a stupid son?"
Guo Xiangdong was no fool to have reached the position of group leader. She would ask about the money in private. "Mom, you're being too harsh. This isn't enough to get us divorced. This is our husband and wife's business. Stay out of it."

Li Jiyue pointed to the hospital bed and said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. Every family has its own problems. We understand. We'll go first. Please comfort Xiaolei."
"I will. Thank you for coming to see Xiaolei and bringing chicken soup."
"You're welcome."
He Yuchuan stepped forward and took away the two children who were surrounding Xiaolei's bed to comfort him.
Only mother and son were left in the ward.
"Xiao Lei, your uncle and aunt have left. Come out and don't get bored." Jiang Xiu'e sat on the edge of the bed, pulled down the quilt, and felt heartbroken when she saw her son crying.
"Xiao Lei, don't cry. Let adults handle adult matters. Don't take your grandma's words to heart."
