Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Zhang Yu saw Gao Zhen at the door. Looking at his honest face, she couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. The original couple thought this son-in-law was a good person, a sincere person.

Right, someone may look sincere, speak and act sincerely, but it’s just sincerity on the surface, in reality, he’s just a selfish man.

To get praise from his parents, he dragged Wei Xuan, the original couple, into his plans.

"Gao Zhen, you’re here." The original couple had a good attitude towards Gao Zhen; she couldn’t just give him a bad face right away.

Gao Zhen smiled awkwardly, "Yes, last night I heard from Wei Xuan that you were unhappy, so I’m here to apologize."

"This is all my fault..." Isn’t it just apologizing? Gao Zhen does this often, and every time the original couple would comfort him and give him something to take back.

But this time, Zhang Yu definitely wouldn’t do that. She hadn’t done anything wrong. Why should she feel embarrassed and give him something just because Gao Zhen came to apologize?

If Gao Zhen was truly a conscientious person and remembered the support from his in-laws, during the original couple’s hardest times, why did he not offer any help?

Instead, he told Wei Xuan that a married daughter is like spilled water, saying all the family assets would go to the sons, so why should the daughter take care of them.

Just hearing these words reveals his character, "Yes, Gao Zhen, actually I didn’t want to interfere. After all, it’s your family matter. If I, as the mother-in-law, talk too much, you won’t be happy, and neither will your parents."

Here we go again, Gao Zhen’s heart sank directly hearing Zhang Yu’s words, the expression on his face didn’t look good. If it wasn’t for Zhang Yu being good to Wei Xuan and Wei Xuan having a job, he wouldn’t have married this spoiled girl Wei Xuan.

Zhang Yu was actually watching Gao Zhen’s expression, unsurprised to see his impatience, really not hiding it at all, "Your mother is unwell, how the daughter-in-law schedules her care is your family’s business."

"I won’t question or have any grounds to doubt."

"I just think, as the daughter-in-law, Wei Xuan takes care of your mother, but she can’t bring all the dirty laundry and bedding to my place for me to wash, right?"

"Why, my daughter takes care of your mother, and I have to do the dirty work for your family?"

"Then your parents say I’m taking advantage of you, so I told Wei Xuan, my health isn’t great, I need to take care of myself, so don’t bring things here for me to wash or dry anymore, I really don’t have the strength or time."

"Also, because of medication and health adjustments, my expenses have increased. I can’t support you like I used to."

"I guess my words were hard to hear, Xiao Xuan wasn’t happy." Zhang Yu paused, "This kind of thing can’t be resolved."

"No, there is a solution, it depends on how you both adjust." If Gao Zhen truly considers his wife and child, how can there not be a solution? But he’s constantly playing dumb, relying on the Yue family’s support, not wanting to make an effort.

Gao Zhen’s face turned ugly upon hearing this, thinking Zhang Yu was forcing him to bring his income home.

Zhang Yu noticed Gao Zhen’s change in expression, knowing he misunderstood, "Are you thinking I’m forcing you to give your income to Xiao Xuan?"

Huh? Gao Zhen was shocked by Zhang Yu’s straightforward words, he never expected Zhang Yu could be so candid and direct, truly stunned.

"Rest assured, I said I wouldn’t interfere with your affairs, and I mean it, thoroughly uninvolved."

"Whether it’s your work or life, I won’t interfere, it’s your business, live your life however you see fit, you’ll know whether it’s warm or cold."

"I’m saying this to Xiao Xuan and her two brothers, Wei Jiang and Wei He, for my daughter I also maintain this attitude."

"Also, tell Xiao Xuan not to frequently visit her home, after all, she’s married, she should think more for her husband’s family."

"And you, Gao Zhen, you’re busy at work, your parents are unwell, just take care of them more." Zhang Yu waved her hand, indicating everything here was fine.

Gao Zhen helplessly left the Wei family, all the way he was thinking about one thing, how did Zhang Yu change so drastically.

Clearly before she knew about his family’s struggling times, every visit, she wouldn’t let him leave empty-handed, but now she truly left him empty-handed.

Since he married Wei Xuan, such treatment never happened, what’s going on, Gao Zhen was clueless all the way.

Moreover, what’s more worrying is, if Zhang Yu really doesn’t support his family, Wei Xuan’s salary won’t be handed over, with so many expenses in the household, previously it was big, the spending was large, without Wei Xuan’s salary, how will they manage?

Gao Zhen was pondering over this problem all the way, thinking this matter must be resolved, otherwise, in the long run, something somewhere will need to be economized.

All the way Gao Zhen was troubled, thinking about how life would continue, truly troubled, not knowing what to do.

When he reached the courtyard entrance, he heard his sisters-in-law arguing with Wei Xuan, feeling a headache over this.

"What’s happening?" Gao Zhen quickly rushed in, seeing two sisters-in-law teaming up against Wei Xuan.

Wei Xuan was relieved when she saw Gao Zhen, two against one was stressful, she simply couldn’t win.

Now that Gao Zhen was back, she had someone to rely on, "Gao Zhen, your sisters-in-law said if I don’t hand over my salary, they won’t let me eat."

"If you don’t hand over the salary, there isn’t enough money in the house." Gao Zhen didn’t realize they were arguing about this, "Xiao Xuan, you know our family situation."

"Isn’t your salary handed over?" Wei Xuan really got mad, "Our family has four people, your brother and sister-in-law’s family either five or six, they have only one working, why should my salary be handed over?"

Today at work she thought about it a lot, the more she thought, the more she felt her salary definitely couldn’t be handed over, otherwise she couldn’t buy things at will, it might even depend on others’ moods, like Gao Zhen’s sister-in-law.

Who would have thought, just back home, the sisters-in-law came at her, the worst part was, starting today, they wouldn’t give her meals, which truly infuriated Wei Xuan, so she started a big argument, ignoring in-laws jumping and criticizing, declaring the misfortune of the family.

Gao Zhen looked at the very angry Wei Xuan, remembering Zhang Yu’s teachings, especially listening to parents saying the family is unlucky, how could he marry someone who doesn’t consider her in-laws, siblings-in-law, only sees herself.

Hearing this, Gao Zhen couldn’t hold back, especially as surrounding neighbors watched, he suddenly lost his mind and acted impulsively.
