Chapter 102: Teach your own daughter-in-law yourself.
What does Mrs. Zhao mean by this?
“I’m not even dead yet, the family hasn’t been divided, and she dares to speak . If the family were divided in the future, let alone having her serve me as her mother-in-law, it would be the other way around, I, as her mother-in-law, would have to call her ‘Madam’!”
Ye Gaoshui’s head hit the ground with a thud, “Mother, this is all Mrs. Zhao’s fault. Your son will call her back to apologize to you right away and teach her a good lesson, but you can’t say these words, Mother. They stab your son right in the heart!”
Ye Gaoshui spoke humbly out loud, but he was secretly cursing Mrs. Zhao for being insensitive and unable to speak properly.
While the parents were still alive, let alone whether Ye Jiu was raised by them as an older sibling or not, even if he truly was, such things could not be said. Otherwise, if outsiders knew about it, how would they view the parents?
Besides, the family hadn’t been divided yet, and their name was on all the dozens of acres of land. Their entire family was living off the produce from the parents’ land, and even he was not supporting himself on his own, let alone take care of his younger sister.
Originally, Mrs. He never intended to let Ye Gaoshui divorce Mrs. Zhao. She said those words to knock some sense into them and prevent them from becoming too full of themselves.
Of course, Ye Gaoshui’s sensibility also pleased Mrs. He, “Alright, get up. Don’t think you can hide what’s in your hearts from me. I’m well aware. Each one of you is hoping for a division of the family.
It won’t take much longer now. Your fourth brother’s marriage is also on the horizon. I had the eldest daughter-in-law inquire about it; she’s a diligent girl. Once it’s settled, have him marry right after the New Year, then follow your wishes to divide the family, so I won’t be alive facing the shame of leaving my daughter to depend on others for support.”
No one expected Mrs. He to talk about dividing the family so casually.
After all, they had always believed that Mrs. He was unwilling to relinquish control of the household. Even after the youngest son’s marriage, she would surely find an excuse not to divide the family and keep a tight grip on the household.
“Mother, the family can’t do without you, and it’s thanks to you we’ve lived so comfortably these years. Your sons have never resented you,” Ye Gaoshi said.
“Enough of the sweet talk. I know you must be tired from working so long in town without coming home. Go back and check on the children, and take this opportunity to rest and recuperate,” Mrs. He said, sneering inwardly.

They all speak nicely, claiming they do not resent her, yet not a single one mentions not wanting to divide the family.
The schemes in their hearts are clear, each one eager for her to let go so they can live their own lives.
However, Mrs. He was not worried. Her daughter was fortunate, and the silver in her hand provided much confidence. Even if the soap business that her daughter started didn’t make money, with more than 2000 taels of silver as a foundation, Mrs. He was not the least bit anxious.
That money was more than enough to provide her daughter with a respectable dowry and still have plenty left over.
Ye Gaoshui still couldn’t help but ask before leaving, “Mother, about Mrs. Zhao…”
“After the New Year, once your youngest brother is married, we’ll divide the family. Then you can live your lives however you want; I really don’t want to be bothered. As for Mrs. Zhao, it’s your wife, so you train her. Don’t think I’d actually care to deal with that nonsense!” Mrs. He said.
“Thank you, Mother. When Mrs. Zhao returns, your son will definitely discipline her well and have her apologize to you,” Ye Gaoshui said.
