The final decision made by the old Tang family was that Tang Zhi would accompany the elderly couple to Beijing to attend Tang Zhi's wedding.
Liu Zhaodi was very dissatisfied with this arrangement. She felt that it was unnecessary for the elderly couple and Tang Zhi to travel all the way to Beijing for a wedding.
“Dad, Mom, I don’t think you should go. Beijing is too far away. Not only will it waste time that could be spent earning work points, but the train tickets will also cost quite a bit. It’s just a wedding, after all. Besides, why doesn’t the third one hold the wedding back home? That way, you wouldn’t have to make such a long trip.”
Upon learning that her husband would accompany his parents to Beijing, Liu Zhaodi strongly opposed it and presented her arguments, which she believed were quite reasonable. However, Grandma Tang didn’t care whether her reasons were valid or not; anyone who tried to stop her from attending her son’s wedding was considered an enemy.
Now that Liu Zhaodi wanted to prevent her from going to Beijing for her son’s wedding, how could she possibly let that slide?
“Liu Zhaodi, what nonsense are you spouting?” Grandma Tang exclaimed. “What’s wrong with us going to Beijing? How does attending the third one’s wedding affect you? Are we spending your money? We’re happy to take the time off work. Did I ask for your opinion? The Tang family doesn’t need you to call the shots!”
Tang Zhi looked at his foolish wife and felt speechless.
“Whether Dad and Mom attend the third one’s wedding is not something you, as a sister-in-law, can decide. Besides, we’re not taking anything from you; we’re not asking you to pay for our tickets. Most of the money in this household comes from the third one sending it back home—doesn’t he know that?”
Tang Zhi understood that his wife wouldn’t have come up with such arguments on her own. The reason she spoke up now was clearly because someone had been stirring things up behind her back.
As for who had been instigating Liu Zhaodi, it was obvious.
Tang Zhi's gaze fell on his second brother's wife, Zhang Man.
Zhang Man flinched under his stare. She knew that this older brother wasn’t easily fooled, unlike Liu Zhaodi, who was a simpleton. Just by saying a few ambiguous words, she had already drawn attention.
Grandma Tang was also quite shrewd; after all these years since Liu Zhaodi married into the family, she knew exactly what kind of person she was.
Today, I’ll tell you all, don’t try to play tricks on me, thinking I don’t know what you’re up to. If you don’t want to live a good life, you can roll back to your mother’s house. Our family doesn’t lack daughters-in-law; you think my good nature is something to take advantage of? If you keep causing trouble, just get out of here. Old Lady Tang glared at Zhang Man and scolded her.
Zhang Man lowered her head, not daring to make a sound.
Liu Zhaodi also realized that she had been fooled by Zhang Man again. She felt annoyed and slapped her forehead, wondering why she could never remember. Clearly, the father of her child had told her to ignore Zhang Man’s nonsense when she had nothing better to do, so she wouldn’t be taken advantage of.
Unexpectedly, today she forgot his advice after just a few words from her. Liu Zhaodi secretly glanced at Tang Zhi, who was glaring at her. She shrank back in fear; despite Tang Zhi’s seemingly good temper, he could be quite fierce when he got angry.
Liu Zhaodi had been punished by Tang Zhi for her foolishness more than once. Yet, she never learned her lesson; each time she would forget the pain after the wounds healed. Just a little provocation from Zhang Man would send her charging forward without hesitation.
Just like now, these words were clearly what Zhang Man wanted to say, but she insisted on keeping quiet herself.
