墨書 Inktalez
But she was pushed down the stairs by her son.
It was only before dying that I learned my father had been cheating all along.
He had been using Filial Piety as a shield!
My father had never treated me well.
Yet he constantly lamented how sorry he was to my grandmother and grandfather.
He said he wanted to repay them well.
But I had seen with my own eyes how he was driving them to their doom!
"Drink!" Chu Yin said, holding the bowl of water to Ma Jiahui's lips. "If you don’t drink, you’re being unfilial!"
I rushed over.
“Dad!”
Chu Yin was taken aback, then looked at me with delight. “Yin Yin, today you need to perform well for Dad and prove that our family is all about filial piety.”
I took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil inside me. “But Dad, didn’t you say that tap water is the best and the cleanest?”
The smile on Chu Yin's face froze.
I turned to my grandmother. “Grandma, don’t you think so?”
Grandma's expression was complex, clearly reflecting her thoughts.
She angrily turned her head away. "Children shouldn't speak nonsense."
Chu Yin realized the implication and her expression changed. "Chu Yuntian, stop messing around here!"
I looked at him coldly. "Dad, I'm just trying to reason with you. How is that messing around?"
"Forcing Mom to drink this bowl of water today doesn't prove your filial piety."
"After all, it's been Mom who has taken care of Grandma and Grandpa all these years."
"On the contrary, you..."
Chu Yin's face grew increasingly difficult to read as I spoke.
The gazes of those around us began to shift.
"It does seem that way; Chu Yin doesn't appear to be very filial after all."
"It was always the Chu Family Daughter-in-Law taking care of the elders."
"It seems like Chu Yin brought them over just to get a promotion."
Chu Yin glared at me fiercely.
I quickly pulled Mom behind me for protection.
A glint flashed in Aunt's eyes as she raised her voice, "Since today is Dad's funeral, according to his last wishes, the inheritance should go to the most filial person."
Chu Yin's expression changed dramatically.
Grandma shrieked, "Of course, the filial one is my son!"
Aunt sneered, "Mom, who would believe that? Everyone knows it has been Sister-in-law taking care of you all these years."
"Actually, Dad was most satisfied with Sister-in-law."
"Who would have thought that Sister-in-law would give birth to such an ungrateful daughter!"
Chu Yin exclaimed in exasperation, "She is my wife; taking care of Dad and Mom is her duty!"
Aunt raised an eyebrow, "Sister-in-law used her own money to buy the house. On what grounds do you say it's her duty?"
Chu Yin was momentarily speechless.
Grandma opened her mouth, "She is the daughter-in-law; taking care of Mother-in-law is her responsibility!"
I scoffed, "Yes, she has done so much, yet all the credit goes to you."
"Since Grandma looks down on my mom as a daughter-in-law so much, she surely wouldn't want to accept any care from her."
Grandma's face changed dramatically.
Ma Jiahui also spoke softly, "Yes, Mom, I haven't spent a single cent of yours."
Grandma exclaimed, "You are my daughter-in-law! It is your responsibility to take care of me!"
Ma Jiahui replied, "But don’t you look down on me?"
Grandma fell silent.
Aunt interjected, "Since everyone is saying this, why don't we hear what the lawyer has to say?"
The lawyer took out the will.
"According to the late gentleman's will, the entire estate belongs to Ms. Ma."
Ma Jiahui added, "This money comes from selling my house; it does not belong to marital property."
The lawyer nodded, "That is indeed correct."
Chu Yin and Grandma's faces turned ashen.
Grandma stubbornly retorted, "She is being unfilial!"
I scoffed, "Grandma, since you look down on my mom as a daughter-in-law so much, don’t ask her for money in the future."
