Transmigration: On the Gossip Front

Why would Wei He agree to write a separation letter? Zhang Yu and Wei Xuan severing ties is something he absolutely supports; he really has no fondness for this sister.

She cried and insisted on marrying Gao Zhen, and it’s not like she wasn’t aware of the situation with the Gao Family before getting married, yet she married anyway.

Since she insisted on marrying Gao Zhen, is it really meaningful for her to complain now about how hard life is?

In Wei He’s view, the parents’ money should be reserved for the two brothers, not for Wei Xuan to spend.

Cutting ties with a daughter who cannot assist the family is a good thing; the family’s money will just be for the two brothers in the future.

But if it’s his turn to sever ties with the family, how can this happen? Once he also cuts ties, wouldn’t all the family’s money go to Wei Jiang?

No way, everything in the family cannot go to Wei Jiang. If it does, he’d have the money but still be cursed as a fool in their minds.

"Mom, I will take care of the child," said Wei He helplessly, implying he wouldn’t bother Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu nodded, "Just know that. My words remain the same; I am already very disappointed in you all, and don’t expect me to rely on you for elderly care in the future."

"I never expected anything from you."

"Get lost." Watching Wei He quickly take the two children and leave, Zhang Yu then spoke into Wei Jiang’s room, "Wei Jiang, even if I sever ties with them, the things under my name won’t necessarily go to you."

"You and your wife shouldn’t dream about such things all the time." With the old man working overtime today, Zhang Yu took the cooked meal to her own room.

What? Wei Jiang hadn’t expected that even though they were hiding in the room, they’d still receive a warning from the old lady.

"What’s the matter with the old lady, saying stuff like not relying on us for elderly care?"

"Who else to rely on for elderly care?" Wei Jiang really couldn’t understand, "Does she seriously expect the street office to handle it?"

Feng Xia also felt Zhang Yu was just trying to scare them, but they dared not gamble. If they truly anger the old couple, they’d definitely suffer later.

Gao Zhen, humiliated at the Wei Family, rushed back home to find everyone had already finished dinner, naturally without leaving any for him. "I, I’ve not eaten yet."

"You didn’t say you’d come back to eat," Eldest Sister-in-law Gao said, seeing Gao Zhen rushing back.

Gao Zhen, recalling the words from his two sister-in-laws, couldn’t help but think of Wei Xuan from yesterday; she must have been really upset then.

Mrs. Gao noticed Gao Zhen’s displeased expression, knowing she couldn’t push this son too hard; after all, he and his wife were the main financial source for the family. "Old third, um, I’ve been unwell lately, and your sister-in-laws had to bear the burden of taking care of me."

"Their temper hasn’t been great; you need to be more understanding." Mrs. Gao once again sighed, lamenting that she dragged down the Gao Family.

Upon hearing Mrs. Gao’s words, Gao Zhen no longer cared about his own meal issues and continued to comfort and assure her, definitely not resenting Mrs. Gao.

The two sister-in-laws at the Gao Family, seeing Mrs. Gao like this, became even more cautious of the old lady. But with a glance at the foolish Gao Zhen, they thought he was truly a fool, not having recognized the real nature of the third child even after so many years.

"Speaking of which, old third, why hasn’t your wife returned yet?" Mrs. Gao was aware that Wei Xuan was upset and hadn’t returned at this hour, becoming anxious.

Especially since Wei Xuan’s maternal family’s conditions were good, and she had her own job. For the third son to marry such a good wife, he was really lucky.

"Today your sister-in-law went out to buy groceries and heard people say that your mother-in-law plans to sever ties with Wei Xuan." Mrs. Gao was stunned when she heard this news from her eldest daughter-in-law.

She truly didn’t understand why such a good setup would lead to severing ties. But Eldest Sister-in-law Gao listened around and heard many versions, not knowing which was accurate.

"They’re severing ties." All the way, Gao Zhen thought about many things, like understanding why Wei Xuan’s mood wasn’t right yesterday, but he also felt Wei Xuan was at fault, wondering why she didn’t mention such a big event yesterday, so he wouldn’t have gone and faced humiliation today.

What? Everyone in the Gao Family was dumbfounded, "How, how can this happen?"

After all, Gao Family benefited from the food Wei Xuan brought from her maternal family, and everyone got a share of the good things from her side.

Moreover, Wei Xuan was quite generous in spending when she had money; if the Wei Family didn’t help, would she still spend so freely?

Gao Zhen helplessly relayed what Zhang Yu said today, "They said that since Wei Xuan sees herself as a married daughter who is like spilled water, she doesn’t want to take care of her parents."

"Then Wei Family’s belongings have nothing to do with her; she can’t ignore responsibilities and still desire the family’s money."

As soon as this was said, the Gao Family had no way to refute, wondering what to say; they couldn’t possibly argue that Zhang Yu’s words were wrong, that a daughter shouldn’t care for parents but should still share the maternal family’s property.

Such a statement would definitely lead to ridicule and make them enemies to everyone.

Mrs. Gao spitefully remarked, "Your wife seems smart, but turns out to be a fool."

The rest of the Gao Family nodded one after another, agreeing with Mrs. Gao’s words.

"By the way, well, Wei Xuan has severed ties with her maternal family, so she doesn’t have any family backing?" Eldest Sister-in-law Gao, quick-witted, couldn’t help but feel excited realizing this.

Second Sister-in-law Gao also quickly thought of an important matter, "Mom, can’t Wei Xuan’s job be sold?"

"Exactly, now with rural policies getting stricter, the value of jobs is high. I looked into it; even a job at the street office can fetch at least 800."

Eldest Sister-in-law Gao kept nodding, "Mom, you know eldest wants a promotion, needs to send gifts above, but we don’t have money."

"Mom, also your second son, his master treats him poorly, not teaching him well." Second Sister-in-law obviously seized the chance to ask for benefits.

Wei Xuan worked overtime today, partly because she really had work, partly because she knew the separation news would spread widely, especially to the Gao Family, and she didn’t know how to respond.

More importantly, she had just thrown a big fit yesterday; if she returned like this, wouldn’t it be demeaning?

The canteen had leftovers, conveniently serving as dinner for her, but she hadn’t expected to overhear the Gao Family plotting about her job upon returning late.

Her body went cold involuntarily; she understood the older two sister-in-laws had major grievances toward her, envying her job and her family’s support.

But she never thought they would want to sell her job, planning the money already.

What chilled her more was that Gao Zhen, while present, didn’t stand up to refute, actually listened to his brother and sister-in-law scheming the division of money from selling the job.

For a moment, she really wanted to barge in and question them thoroughly, but after thinking it over, she held back, knowing she was the only one who heard it, with no one to testify against them.
