"Privately, Acai told me to come back to see you more often and to provide whatever the family needs. He doesn't want you two old people to live a miserable life."
"But what did he get in return for his filial piety? Is his life happy? Even when he asked you for a loan, and it was the first time in all these years that he asked, you still scolded him back."
"They said we were poor and struggling but were showing off, and called me a troublemaker who deserved a good life." Although Zhao Shuang's voice was loud, everyone could hear the sob in her voice.
This really makes me feel wronged.
She sniffed: "Acai and I are poor, but no matter how poor we are, we don't have to rely on our family to stutter and use their money, right?"
"You two are so promising, why are you still staying at home and letting me serve you?"
"He doesn't give us a penny. He'll give us his life if we ask for money. If we ask for more, he'll call us unfilial. But he's completely open-hearted to his second son and second daughter-in-law. He'll give them whatever money he has."
Every word Zhao Shuang said accused Zhang Guifang of being biased.
Zhang Guifang in the room probably couldn't stand it anymore and smashed things.
Lu Yang was trying to save face. Seeing that more and more people were gathering in the yard to watch the fun, he advised with a headache: "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, let's talk it out behind closed doors as a family. If you are angry, don't find fault with me. I have paid a lot of money to the family over the years."
He thought that his explanation could calm Zhao Shuang down, but Zhao Shuang sneered when he heard it.
"Yes, you pay a lot of money home, but you eat and use everything they have. As soon as you pay the money home, it passes through Zhang Guifang's hands and can be used to supplement your family's income."
"What a bargain! Your eldest brother is just stupid. He moved me out early to make room for you. Otherwise, I would be happy to take advantage of this. It's just a matter of transferring money from one hand to the other, right?"
Now she doesn't even want to call Zhang Guifang "Mom".
Zhang Guifang had been feeling upset all morning because of the huge amount of money she had spent on buying buns that morning, and now her eldest daughter-in-law had slapped her face off and thrown it to the ground and stepped on it. She was so angry that her vision went dark.
Pointing at Zhao Shuang, Zhang Guifang cursed her as a "troublemaker".
Cursing with gnashing teeth.
Zhao Shuang sneered: "If I'm a troublemaker, then what are you? An old thief?"
She pointed back at Zhang Guifang, her voice shrill and crisp: "Zhang Guifang, let me tell you, don't accuse Ah Cai and I of being unfilial. We've been filial to everyone we should be for all these years, and what have we gotten in return?"
"That's enough! Aren't you biased? From now on, don't bother looking for your eldest son when you have something to do. We won't serve you anymore. Don't tell him that an elder brother is like a father. His biological father is still alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Dahai, the father of Lu, who had been silent in the room next door where the old couple of the Lu family lived, began to cough heart-wrenchingly.
He was obviously very angry with his eldest daughter-in-law.
Zhao Shuang: "Old bitch, stop going out and crying about your son being unfilial. What's going on in our family? There are so many eyes watching and ears listening!"
"We're not unfilial. We want to be, but your mother's lack of kindness has chilled our hearts. It's more than chilling. Let me tell you, the discord between brothers and father and son in our family is all caused by you, an old thief!"
"Otherwise, my man wouldn't know how filial he would be to his father and how much he would take care of his younger brothers and sisters!"
After she finished speaking, she didn't know where she got the strange strength from, but she stretched out her hands and pulled hard, and she managed to pull down the shaky door that she had kicked in before.
Zhao Shuang cursed, "I paid for this door. If I put it on a dog, the dog would wag its tail. But if I put it on my husband's mother, I'd be called poor and pointed at."
"Fine, we're poor and struggling, so if you're capable, don't rely on us for the rest of your life. If you need anything, go find your promising second son. Don't call us back when you need us, and then when you don't, you keep praising your second son. Ugh!"
After she finished speaking, she bared her teeth and used all her strength to slam the door panel she had pulled down to the ground!
There was a loud noise, and Zhang Guifang screamed in fright.
People outside were talking about the excitement, but Su Lixuan's eyes lit up.
Since she started traveling through the book, this was the first time she had seen such a strong young woman who spoke and acted so decisively and efficiently.
This is simply... amazing, my sister!
Seeing that Zhao Shuang had vented his anger and turned to leave, Zhang Guifang no longer cared about whether she would lose face in front of the old neighbors. Anyway, she had already lost face because of Zhao Shuang.
She rushed out on her short legs, looking at Zhao Shuang as if she were an enemy...
"Zhao Shuang, if you don't explain yourself clearly today and admit your mistake to me, don't call me 'Mom' anymore!"
"Home isn't a place where you can just come and make a scene and then leave!"
Zhao Shuang paused: "You are not my biological mother. Have you ever provided me with food, clothing, and education since I was a child?"
Use this to threaten her, she would rather call this old bitch mother, she is not a cheap person.
She sneered, "You're good to me, so I treat you like my mother. You're not good to me, and you even mistreat your own son. So, isn't it appropriate for me to call you an old thief?"
And let her explain herself clearly?
How else can I explain it clearly?
Zhao Shuang: "I've said everything I need to say. From now on, I won't treat you like my mother anymore. You don't need to find any excuses for me, and don't go to your eldest son to complain about me."
"I made an agreement with him before I came here today. If he keeps interfering with your affairs, I'll divorce him. Of course, we've both gained some face, and you don't have to worry about us coming back and asking you for money."
"We live as long as we can afford it. If we can't, even if our whole family goes out to beg for food, we won't come back to be scolded."
Zhao Shuang took a last look at the old woman whose heart was almost in her armpits, and his tone was so resolute that it almost sounded like a curse.
"Zhang Guifang, just keep your coffin and let your second son and his family suck your blood. I wonder who will take care of you when you are old and can't move!"
Just like what Zhao Shuang said just now, whenever there was any problem in the Lu family, they would always ask her husband Lu Cai to come back and do the hard labor.
When has Lu Yang been on top?
Lu Yang is so busy. He is very successful. He is either busy on business trips or busy with social events. It seems that her husband is not a lazy person. Even if he works overtime until midnight, he will come back tired like a bear to help at home.
As if all this is as it should be.
Many times, either the light bulb broke or someone in the family was sick and Lu Dahai couldn't carry him, so he had to call his eldest son back to either buy medicine or carry the person to the hospital.
Take Lu Yang’s two children for example. The younger ones are prone to illness, and Lu Yang, as a father, has never taken much care of them. Every time, her husband has to come back and run around to take care of them.
There's not a single good word to say about this.
After being an "unsung hero", her mother-in-law didn't tell anyone about it. Others might not even know that her husband always came back to help out.
