Chapter 401: Chapter 401 I’m Happy With My Own Daughter (Monthly Ticket Additional Release) Chapter 401: Chapter 401 I’m Happy With My Own Daughter (Monthly Ticket Additional Release) “Second brother, the sky might as well have fallen, you just can’t ignore this, if you do! Our family might truly be finished,” the old lady’s uniquely loud voice shouted as she rushed through the door.
Yang Mei furrowed her brow—It had been some time since the old man and old lady had come making a fuss.
More than three months ago, they created a ruckus multiple times, but in the end, they were repelled by the husband and wife whether through soft words or force.
In any case, the bottom line was they wouldn’t get any money.
What trouble had cropped up this time?
This household, it can’t be peaceful even for a day.
And with Fang Xiaoshan, that gambling-addled fool in the house, it’s no wonder the days never pass quietly.
Thankfully, they had severed ties with the family back then. Otherwise, judging by the past, even if the two of them toiled like oxen and horses, it still wouldn’t be enough to fill Fang Xiaoshan’s bottomless pit.
The eldest daughter glanced at her mother, “Let’s go out and take a look.”
No matter what, those are your grandparents. Even if you claim to be as tall as the sky, you can’t deny your elders.
Dusting off the flour from her hands, she led her own daughter out, and Yang Mei followed with her daughter, the three of them coming out together.
Sure enough, the old lady was sitting on a stool, crying and wailing.
“Grandpa and Grandma, what’s wrong? What happened? Come inside to talk, it’s no good airing your business out here where everyone can see and make it into a joke,” the eldest daughter said as she invited the old man and old lady into the inner room. The front part was their shop, and the back was their courtyard home, very convenient. A little courtyard with a well separated all this.
The old lady’s face soured the moment she saw her granddaughter. It was all because of these money-losing goods. Otherwise, how could her son have the heart to abandon them?
She didn’t even reflect on how she had treated her own son in the past.
Even when sick and bedridden, she wanted the second son to make room, and even thought to give away her last penny. She was unkind to her own son, yet she expected others to treat her with benevolence and righteousness.
The old lady, this was clearly a case of ‘officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people aren’t allowed to light lamps’.
“Why are you here? Everything’s fine, why aren’t you staying at your own home instead of running to your parents’ place?”
This one statement instantly darkened the faces of both Fang Jianping and Yang Mei, “Mom, aren’t you overstepping? My own daughter coming back to my home is none of your business. Even if she lives here every day, I’m happy about it because she is my dear daughter. Speak if you have something to say, otherwise, please head back soon. It spares you getting upset over here and us feeling uncomfortable,” Fang Jianping said.
This time, his wife didn’t need to speak up. Fang Jianping took matters into his own hands. He could see that if his wife started talking, the old lady would definitely not stop criticizing her. This mother-in-law scolding her daughter-in-law, you couldn’t even argue against it.
But he was the son. If she wanted to blame or curse someone, let her come at him.
Why should she always bother his wife and his own daughter?
The old lady was almost faint with anger at her son’s rebuke. Looking at the second brother, it seemed he was no longer on the same side as them. Originally, when she mentioned that this money-losing good-for-nothing should not stay at her parents’ house, her second son was on her side.
But now, just as she started speaking, the second son began to counter her.
“Second brother, what’s this? Can’t I even talk about your daughter now? Is your daughter made of gold or silver? I’m her grandmother, but I can’t even say a word? I am your mother; I came to visit you, how can you push an old person out like this?”
Old man Fang took a hold of the old lady. They weren’t here to quarrel. With such blunt words, if they pushed the second brother too far, how could they expect him to give them money?
He also resented the old lady for not choosing the right time.
