Chapter 8 - 7: The Not-So-Bad Dad
Ye Qiu took his wife and child back home, which extremely infuriated Granny Ye and Ye Laoer's family, especially when Ye Fang came back from the county and found out that her elder brother had become wealthy, yet he only brought a few kilograms of candies and cookies for his younger sister who was about to get married, she was completely furious.
"Mom, elder brother is really unprincipled. He used to listen to you before, it must be the elder sister-in-law speaking ill of you behind your back." Ye Fang was not willing to accept this, these days, her future mother-in-law was being picky about everything, nothing was to her liking, just because she looked down on her being from the countryside, right? If she had brought a significant dowry with her, what would that old woman have left to say?
"Listen? Listen to what, does your elder brother even care about me, his old mother?" Granny Ye has always been the decision-maker in the family, who wouldn't listen to her? But now there was a rebel, especially her previously obedient eldest son suddenly having his own ideas, how could she not feel upset?
She had thought her eldest son was still as filial as before, treating her grandson like his own son, but ever since the family split up, his attitude completely changed. Is she to blame for making things tough for his wife and daughter?
Where did she go wrong? A hen that can't lay a male chick and a daughter who is ultimately an outsider, what's there to treat nicely? In the countryside without a son, isn't it a laughing stock? When she dies, there won't even be someone to shatter bowls at her funeral. Isn't she just thinking about her eldest son?
Ungrateful, truly ungrateful!
While one family had a sleepless night, on the other hand, Chen Wen couldn't be happier.
All the grievances she had suffered under her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and younger sister-in-law seemed to have disappeared all at once.
With her husband's protection, her daughter's closeness, and a decent career of her own, who dares to give her a hard time now?
Now thinking about it, what's there to be stressed about these people? They are just a bunch of unsophisticated country women!
Who says a daughter is not as good as a son? She wants to see what great success Granny Ye's favored grandchild can achieve!
