But I realized that no matter how well I treated them, it was all in vain.
Like the request made by your elder sister, it was clearly unreasonable. Yet your mother didn’t even ask me and just expected me to help. She didn’t care whether it would put me in a difficult position. To be honest, it was quite disheartening.
Ye Fangfei said that on purpose; she wanted Tang Zhicheng to know that she hadn’t mistreated his parents. Moreover, she was very dissatisfied with the situation regarding Tian.
"Dear wife, I know you’re upset about what your mother said. You feel like she didn’t consider your feelings."
"You’re overthinking it; it’s not like that. She just cares too much about your elder sister and didn’t think it through."
"Your mother has always praised you for being good and filial," Tang Zhicheng tried to comfort Ye Fangfei.
"Come on, don’t flatter me by calling me filial! It’s a miracle if she doesn’t scold me. I don’t expect her to praise me at all," Ye Fangfei replied.
With such events happening, it was clear that Tang Laotai would not get along with her as harmoniously as before. However, Ye Fangfei had no regrets; she believed that her previous kindness towards Tang Laotai had led them to think she had no temper and could be taken advantage of.
Did Tang Laotai really not know that Tang Zhijing’s request would put her in a difficult position? Did Tang Zhijing really not realize that liberation shoes were hard to come by?
Of course they knew; they just thought that since Ye Fangfei married into their family, she should unconditionally cater to their demands.
This was also Ye Fangfei’s fault. If she had shown her city demeanor earlier, they probably wouldn’t have dared to make such requests.
Regarding Ye Fangfei’s words, Tang Zhicheng did not refute her; he knew his mother was unhappy. But he truly couldn’t bring himself to criticize Ye Fangfei.
His wife had traveled a long way to celebrate the New Year with him, and everyone from young to old had welcomed her warmly. Even his elder sister had prepared a piece of fabric for her.
His wife treated his family very well; he couldn’t find anything wrong with her actions at all. If there was anyone to blame, it should be his elder sister for agreeing to help her sister-in-law buy liberation shoes when there was no need to do so. If she wanted a pair for herself, he would have agreed to help her buy one even if they were hard to find.
After all, she was his elder sister, and a pair of liberation shoes was nothing he couldn't afford.
However, Tang Zhijing let her sisters-in-law buy them, and they would always ask for several pairs at once.
Not to mention Ye Fangfei; even Tang Zhicheng was quite angry about it.
If they were going to ask him to buy them, why not bring the money along?
Even if they didn't have cash, he understood that. But surely they should at least have the money ready, right?
Without cash or tickets, how could they expect him to buy anything just by asking? What if he bought them and they refused to pay?
Tang Zhicheng suspected that Tang Zhijing's sisters-in-law were definitely thinking along those lines. Once the items were in their hands, they would surely come up with all sorts of excuses not to pay.
Then it would fall on Tang Zhijing to cover the costs for them.
How much money did Tang Zhijing even have? His brother felt sorry for his elder sister and ultimately had to dig into his own pockets.
Still, it was the same old story: if his elder sister wanted to wear them herself, he would have bought them without hesitation. But for others? That was out of the question.
