"Is it that easy to buy Liberation Shoes? Who would sell them to you without a ticket? If you really want to buy them, you can only ask someone to exchange shoe tickets or go to the black market to find some.
My wife once said something right: if it were for my sister-in-law herself, they would even chip in their own money to buy them for her. But what does it mean to buy them for her sisters-in-law? Even if they pay, they would only cover the cost of the shoes; the money for exchanging tickets would have to come from their own pockets. What are they gaining from spending money and effort like this?
And one more thing: this time it's Liberation Shoes; what will it be next time? They can't possibly meet every demand, can they? I have to say my wife is right to refuse. For someone who doesn't know their limits, they should be turned down without hesitation, even if that person is his elder sister.
When Tang Zhi walked in, several people were waiting for his reaction. Everyone thought he would surely scold Ye Fangfei after what she had just said, which left no room for courtesy at all.
Ye Fangfei also looked at him, trying to see whether he would side with his family or lean towards her. A man should not only look out for his wife but also consider how she gets along with his family. If he only favors his own family and lets his wife suffer, then he is not worth keeping.
Of course, this doesn't mean that once married, he should ignore right and wrong and always listen to his wife while neglecting his parents. If the wife is unfilial, then she shouldn't be listened to.
Tang Zhi first gave Ye Fangfei a reassuring glance before turning to Tang Laotai and saying, "Mother, I know you care about my sister. But this isn't something that can be solved with just a few pairs of Liberation Shoes. Have you thought about it? Even if we buy them shoes, will they really look up to her? Or will they just laugh at her behind her back?
And what if next time they have more demands? Should we satisfy them again?"
Tang Zhi didn't notice that Ye Fangfei's expression had already darkened at Tang Laotai's face."
Hearing him say that, Old Lady Tang felt a mix of agreement and frustration. Deep down, she knew her demands were unreasonable, especially considering how her daughter-in-law, Ye Fangfei, had completely disregarded her feelings. It left her feeling humiliated.
She had expected that when her son came in, he would at least scold Ye Fangfei a bit to vent her frustrations. To her surprise, not only did he not reprimand his wife, but he also ended up chastising her instead. How could Old Lady Tang not feel upset about that?
However, it was the New Year, and she couldn't afford to lose her temper with her son. Besides, she understood that Ye Fangfei wasn't entirely in the wrong for refusing her demands. She had no justification for being angry.
With no other outlet for her frustration, she turned to scold Tang Zhijing. "This is all your fault! You brought this upon yourself. If you don't have the ability to handle things, why did you promise so much?"
Tang Zhijing was completely dumbfounded. She never expected Ye Fangfei to disregard even her mother's feelings. She couldn't fathom where Ye Fangfei found the courage to speak to her mother-in-law like that; if it were her, she wouldn't dare.
She had hoped that her third brother would support her, but given the current situation, it seemed unlikely since he had sided with their mother. The thought of facing her sisters-in-law when she returned home made Tang Zhijing unable to hold back her tears. "Mother, I didn't want this either. Ever since I gave birth to two daughters, my mother-in-law has looked down on me. I even hurt myself giving birth to my girl and might not be able to have more children in the future."
All of her sisters-in-law had sons; she felt utterly humiliated in front of them. It was hard enough for them to come to her for help; she just wanted them to think a little more highly of her. After all, Third Sister-in-law had relatives who owned a department store; getting a few pairs of liberation shoes wouldn't be difficult at all, so she agreed to help.
