Who hasn’t been scolded by their mother-in-law? Some even get hit; it’s a common occurrence. What’s wrong with us saying a few words? Tang Zhijing thought she had merely spoken a few words; she hadn’t hit Ye Fangfei or scolded her.
“That’s someone else’s business, not mine. My daughter-in-law? I wouldn’t bear to see her suffer. I can’t even tolerate others giving her a cold shoulder,” Tang Zhicheng said with righteous indignation.
Once he said this, not only Tang Zhijing but also the elderly Tang matriarch was taken aback. Even Wang Zhaodi and Zhang Man, who had heard the argument, were stunned.
It’s true what they say: a woman’s experience in her in-laws’ home largely depends on how her husband treats her. After Tang Zhicheng’s words, both the matriarch and others would be more cautious in their dealings with Ye Fangfei.
The matriarch felt uneasy seeing her son warn her for another woman. However, she was even more afraid that he would go back to his old ways and not return for years.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Third Son? Who is making your daughter-in-law suffer?” the matriarch retorted.
At that moment, Wang Zhaodi and Zhang Man entered the room.
Wang Zhaodi chimed in, “Exactly! Third Son, we have no issues with your sister-in-law; you can’t just condemn everyone because of one person.”
“Eldest Sister-in-law is right. We get along well with the Third Sister-in-law; you can’t ruin our sisterly bond,” Zhang Man added, pulling Ye Fangfei closer.
Ye Fangfei had initially been angry, but seeing how supportive the men were, she suddenly felt less upset. As long as the man stood by her side, she could ignore Tang Zhijing entirely.
So she smiled back at Zhang Man, tacitly agreeing with her words.
Seeing her mother and two sisters-in-law supporting Ye Fangfei made Tang Zhijing regret speaking out. “Third Son, it’s my fault for speaking out of turn; please don’t hold it against me,” she said while looking at Ye Fangfei.
Ye Fangfei didn’t even lift her eyelids, completely ignoring her.
Tang Zhicheng showed no signs of forgiving her either. Although Tang Zhijing was his sister and they had previously gotten along well, she was currently being unreasonable. The last time they returned, she had taken it upon herself to ask Ye Fangfei to bring liberation shoes for her sisters-in-law.
Even though they hadn’t agreed to it, Tang Zhijing's behavior had already annoyed them. And now, she had absurdly suggested that they help raise her children—what was she thinking?
It would have been one thing if she had that idea and they had refused; there was nothing they could do about it.
However, she actually spoke ill of Ye Fangfei in front of Old Lady Tang, trying to sow discord between them. This was something Tang Zhicheng could not tolerate.
"Alright, enough of this. You can come back to see your parents, but don’t come around us," Tang Zhicheng said as he stepped forward to pick up Little Sun. He turned around and intended to leave with Ye Fangfei.
Seeing Tang Zhicheng wanting to leave, Tang Zhijing became genuinely anxious this time. She hurriedly grabbed his arm. "Third Brother, you can't do this! If you really abandon me, I won’t have a way to survive."
Tang Zhijing's in-laws had a strong preference for sons over daughters. She had given birth to three daughters without a son. If it weren't for the support from her own family, her life in her in-laws' house would have been unbearable.
Speaking of her family’s support, it was largely due to having a brother working in the capital. Later on, he even married a local girl from the capital, which gave her some leverage in her in-laws' house.
This was also the capital she often boasted about when chatting with her sisters-in-law. She wanted Tang Zhicheng to take care of San Ni because she wanted her in-laws to see that even though she only had daughters, those daughters had capable uncles who could bring them to the capital. She also hoped that her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law would regard her with more respect.
