"Why are you still getting married and harming others?" Ye Fangfei couldn't listen any longer and stepped in.
"Feifei, what are you doing here? It's so cold outside, and you've brought the child!" As soon as Hao Chunying heard her daughter's voice, she hurried over.
"Mom, why are you alone? Where's Dad and my brother?" Ye Fangfei asked.
"Your dad and your brother both went to work. Tingting is in the hospital, so your brother took a few days off, but they all went back to work today," Hao Chunying said as she took her granddaughter into her arms.
"Feifei is back."
"Feifei, quickly persuade your mom. Don't ruin your health over something not worth it," the neighbors chimed in, greeting Ye Fangfei.
Inside, Yi Xiaoli felt embarrassed when she saw Ye Fangfei approaching.
"Feifei, you're back," Yi Xiaoli said softly, but Ye Fangfei still heard her.
"Mm." Ye Fangfei nodded, not even calling her sister-in-law this time.
Seeing Ye Fangfei come over, Yi Xiaoli's mother brightened up, thinking that she had found a weakness in Hao Chunying.
Not only was Ye Fangfei holding the child, but she also had a large net bag filled with either canned goods or milk powder—things that were clearly valuable.
Hao Chunying remarked that her daughter was always thinking about her maternal family while neglecting her in-laws. Yet wasn't her own daughter doing the same?
"I say, Hao Chunying, you only know how to criticize others without looking at yourself?"
"You say Xiaoli is supporting her maternal family; isn't your daughter doing the same?"
"Tingting's aunt, that's quite a bit of money in that bag, isn't it?" Yi Xiaoli's mother smugly thought she had caught Hao Chunying off guard.
Ye Fangfei didn't expect the fire to turn on herself and immediately retorted, "Excuse me, ma'am, but this is for my nephew Tingting. He's suffering so much; as his aunt, I should buy him something to eat."
"And speaking of you as a grandmother, have you bought anything for your grandson?"
The question made Yi Xiaoli's mother turn red and pale.
Since Tingting was born, she hadn't even gone to see him, let alone buy him anything to eat.
Ye Fangfei noticed the change in her expression but felt no sympathy; this was all self-inflicted.
Seeing her daughter put the other party at a loss for words, Hao Chunying seized the opportunity: "Yes! As a grandmother, what have you bought for your grandson? Please share with us all."
After all, your daughter cares so much about you; Tingting is your daughter's only son.
Yixiaoli's mother couldn't escape the situation and could only blush as she said, "I've been busy these past few days. I haven't had the chance to visit my grandson yet. I'll make him something to eat tomorrow when I have time."
"Hmph, spare me that. The child has been injured for five days now, and you haven't even gone to see him once. You say you're busy, but I remember you haven't been working, have you?"
Hao Chunying scoffed, peeling off another layer of Yixiaoli's mother's facade.
Repeatedly being called out, Yixiaoli's mother grew irritated. "Hao Chunying, there's no need to say such useless things. Just tell me whether you care about your son wanting a divorce or not."
Hao Chunying didn't waste any more words and replied directly, "It's not that I don't care; it's that I can't do anything about it. My son has already given your daughter a choice; it's her own decision not to continue the marriage."
"What choice did your son give? He said she couldn't take anything back to her family? And that when Yixiaoli's brother gets married, he can only give a little gift money and then wash his hands of it?"
"Is that even reasonable? My son is Yixiaoli's biological brother. If he has children, shouldn't Yixiaoli, as their sister, take responsibility?" Yixiaoli's mother retorted defiantly.
At this point, the neighbors watching the drama could no longer hold back their opinions.
