"Big Sister, the dumplings are ready. You should eat them now," Hao Chunying said, suppressing her anger.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Ye came out with a bowl of dumplings, eating as she spoke, "Chunying, did you hear what I said? You still need to rely on your son for your old age; you can't just give everything to that good-for-nothing."
Aunt Ye's words completely infuriated Hao Chunying. Today was a joyous occasion, and she didn't want to argue with Aunt Ye. However, Aunt Ye was completely oblivious to the atmosphere; after all, she was marrying off her daughter today and was already in a bad mood.
Aunt Ye kept insisting on calling her daughter a good-for-nothing, and Hao Chunying immediately interrupted her, retorting, "Big Sister, your daughter may be a good-for-nothing, but mine is not."
Aunt Ye was taken aback by Hao Chunying's sharp response; she hadn't expected such a blatant disregard for her feelings. Seeing that Aunt Ye was left speechless, Aunt Ye's mother-in-law couldn't help but chuckle to herself, thinking it served her right for being so arrogant.
Aunt Ye was someone who liked to take advantage of others and was particularly harsh towards women. This made Aunt Ye's mother-in-law dislike her even more. Unlike Hao Chunying, who rarely encountered Aunt Ye except during holidays, Aunt Ye's mother-in-law lived with the elderly couple and had to deal with Aunt Ye frequently.
Aunt Ye had a tendency to meddle in others' affairs and never seemed to know when to stop. Therefore, seeing Hao Chunying stand up to Aunt Ye brought her great joy.
When Aunt Ye was confronted by her brother's wife, she felt indignant and was about to explode. "Hao Chunying, you—"
But before she could finish her sentence, Grandma Ye interrupted from inside the house, "Jianling, come in here."
Grandma Ye was sitting inside and knew well about her daughter's temperament. She also understood that both of her daughters-in-law didn't get along with Aunt Ye. She had mentioned this many times before, but Aunt Ye never changed; there was nothing Grandma could do about it.
Hearing Grandma Ye call for her, Aunt Ye had no choice but to go in. As she entered, she shot a fierce glare at Hao Chunying.
Hao Chunying ignored her; it felt unnecessary to even look at someone so lacking in self-awareness.
Once inside the house, Aunt Ye saw Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye sitting together. Upon seeing Grandma Ye's expression, she shrank back slightly and asked, "Mom, what do you need me for?"
Grandma Ye's frustration boiled over at Aunt Ye's demeanor.
"What do you want me to do? Just look at what you just said! It makes it seem like you’ve got a mouth for nothing!"
Grandma Ye glared at Aunt Ye, scolding her sharply. "What does it matter to you how much Jian Guo and the others accompany Fei Fei? You don’t need to be blabbering on about it."
"Where did I go wrong? Aren't they going to rely on Zi Jun and the others for their retirement in the future?" Aunt Ye muttered softly.
Grandma Ye truly felt helpless with Aunt Ye. She didn’t understand why Aunt Ye was so biased against girls. When Aunt Ye was still unmarried, she and her late husband treated her well.
While they certainly couldn’t compare to their son, they still cared for their only daughter. But after Aunt Ye got married, it was as if she had turned into a different person.
"Enough! Just be quiet for a bit. Today is a good day for Fei Fei. Keep your mouth shut, or if I hear you rambling again, I won’t let you off easily," Grandma Ye warned.
"Alright, alright. I know. Mom, didn’t you say you didn’t like Hao Chun Ying and her child? Why are you defending them today?" Aunt Ye leaned closer to Grandma Ye and asked.
Grandma Ye hadn’t expected Aunt Ye to bring this up at that moment, and she felt a surge of anger towards her troublesome daughter.
