Ye Shuhua sneered, "Of course you're not a pushover. If you were, you wouldn't be threatening your father. You've never worked a day in your life, yet you insist on getting your father's salary and giving it all to your own son."
Her father had originally planned to subsidize their family, but Lin Damei made a scene and insisted on controlling her father's salary. The two of them were struggling to support two children. If it weren't for her family's subsidies, they would be starving. Now, she was being looked down upon just for going back to her own home for a meal. Who could she complain to?
Da Mei naturally scoffed: "What's wrong with me managing my husband's salary? Go ask around the whole compound, which family doesn't have a woman managing the money? If you think it's unfair, then you manage it. I'll move to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with my son and promise not to interfere with your family's lovey-dovey relationship."
Ming Zhengyang immediately interrupted, "Da Mei, what are you saying? We're a couple. Why are you bringing up the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again? I have no problem with giving you my salary. Ye Shuhua, if Yunshan doesn't give you his salary, I will definitely criticize him. Don't cause trouble here."
This daughter-in-law is getting more and more outrageous. On the way, she said she wanted to get closer to Da Mei and apologize properly, but she changed her mind as soon as she met her. She even said she had something to ask Da Mei. With this attitude, it's good enough that she wasn't driven away. She even wanted someone to help her.
Ming Yunshan was also dissatisfied with Ye Shuhua: "I give you all my salary, and I haven't said anything about what you buy. It's the same principle for Dad to give his salary to Aunt. This matter is long over, so don't bring it up again."
Salary is easy to discuss. He's still young and has a lot of room for advancement; his salary will increase in the future. The family can't stay like this forever. His younger brother has already become estranged from him, and we can't afford to become estranged from his father as well.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Shuhua was extremely aggrieved: "Why can't we mention it again? If we don't mention it, all the money will go towards subsidizing Ming Yunshu's family. Don't you see how hard it is for us to raise two children? How much suffering the children have endured? What's wrong with Grandpa helping his own grandson?"
Her family is struggling enough to raise two children on their own, with only two people earning money. What about Ming Yunshu's family? Only one person works, supporting Yan Xiaoxiao and three children. Who would believe they don't receive any subsidies?
The aunt helps take care of the child, but what about her? She takes care of the child herself, and when she gets home she has to cook and do laundry herself. When she goes back to her parents' house, she gets lectured. Her mother used to help her, but ever since her sister-in-law caused a few troubles, her mother has started to dislike her going back to her parents' house. She's exhausted, can't she even complain a little?
Ming Zhengyang looked at Ming Yunshan and asked, "What happened to your family?"
Ming Yunshan was somewhat troubled: "The two children have been making a lot of noise lately, and Shuhua can't handle it all by herself. She wanted to hire a nanny, but I'm not qualified enough, and we don't have the money to hire one. Shuhua has been a bit anxious lately, and I've already been trying to comfort her."
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuhua burst into tears: "You said Auntie wasn't being biased. She never complained about being tired when looking after Ming Yunshu's three children, but she's always impatient when it comes to taking care of my kids. If she were helping to take care of the kids, why would I be so tired? It's just because you're not her biological child, so naturally she won't care about you."
Ming Yunshan looked at Da Mei with a troubled expression. Da Mei smiled disdainfully. Ming Zhengyang felt a little embarrassed and advised, "Da Mei..."
Lin Damei directly refused: "I only care about my own grandson. I won't raise a treacherous wretch who calls me an old hag behind my back."
She took care of Ming Yunshan's two children during their postpartum period and raised them herself. But what happened? The children she raised with such hardship ignored her and even said behind her back that she favored the Shu family's children and wished for her to die so that their mother could take care of them. She was so angry that she almost fainted. If she hadn't been heartbroken, why would she have ignored the children she raised?
Ming Zhengyang advised, "That's just the child being ignorant and listening to what others said. Why do you still remember it for so long? The two children are in trouble now, can't you lend a hand? Yunshan is someone you watched grow up. You loved him so much when he was little, can you bear to see him suffer like this?"
Ming Yunshan smiled apologetically: "Auntie, we are really overwhelmed. I have already disciplined the children for their misbehavior, and they know they were wrong. Please help me out of our past relationship. In the future, my children and I will definitely take good care of you."
To Lin Damei's surprise, she became even angrier: "I have no hope of that. Your child keeps saying that I am just a servant in your family and that I have to do whatever you want me to do. I dare not serve your young masters."
How would the children know if the adults didn't say these things? She takes good care of the children without expecting anything in return, but she can't repay kindness with enmity. She has her own grandchildren, why should she dote on those ungrateful wretches?
No matter how Ming Zhengyang and Ming Yunshan tried to persuade her, Lin Damei insisted that she wouldn't care and that she could raise her own child as long as she could give birth to it. Yan Xiaoxiao wished she could bury her head in the ground and make herself less noticeable.
But Ye Shuhua directly confronted Yan Xiaoxiao: "Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? All you know is eating! You still have the nerve to come to the Ming family for a meal? You'll eat yourself to death!"
Da Mei immediately defended her daughter-in-law: "Do you even know that this is the Ming family's place, not your Ye family's? Xiao Xiao is the Ming family's daughter-in-law, so it's perfectly legitimate for her to be here. But you, who's just freeloading, how dare you say such a thing?"
Ye Shuhua burst into tears, feeling wronged. That's how her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law talked to her when she was at her parents' home. She was just going back to her own home. No wonder they say that a girl has no home after marriage. She was disliked wherever she went, and she had no home anywhere.
Unexpectedly, Ye Shuhua's two sons, Ming Feiyang and Ming Feijie, thought their mother had been wronged, and they rushed towards Lin Damei, shouting, "You old hag, you're not allowed to bully my mother!"
The movement was so fast that no one had time to react. At the critical moment, Yan Xiaoxiao stood up and shielded Lin Damei. She was suddenly knocked to the ground, clutching her stomach and turning pale with pain.
Before the adults could react, Yan Xiaoxiao's two children, Ming Jianguo and Ming Jianye, seeing that their mother had been injured, immediately started fighting with Ming Feiyang and Ming Feijie. The four children were instantly in a brawl, and the adults couldn't stop them.
When the children were exhausted from fighting, they were all injured and their faces turned dark. He only had two sons and five grandsons. The brothers had a bad relationship, and the grandsons were even worse off, which was a major taboo for family unrest.
Ming Zhengyang said angrily with a dark face, "Ming Yunshan, you shouldn't come back for a while. Don't mention Da Mei looking after the child again."
Ye Shuhua was dissatisfied: "Can't we even go back to our own home? Dad, are you trying to kick us out and have us live with the second son from now on?"
Ming Zhengyang was very dissatisfied with Ye Shuhua: "I am still alive, and I will make my own arrangements for the future. It is not up to a daughter-in-law to tell me what to do. I would like to ask how the Ye family raised their children, that you are so ill-mannered."
