Chapter 374: Chapter 373:
"Mom, don’t be like this, it’s just a piece of clothing. I’ll make one for you every year. Han Yi knows about it, and he agrees."
"Xiao Yi... he—" Shen Qing became even more agitated at this point. "He knows you made clothes for me."
Lin Wan nodded guiltily.
"Good, good. Truly good."
"Why are you crying? We’ve poured our hearts out to him. One day, he’ll know how good we are."
"Yes... these years... "
"Hu Bin, get out here!" Shen Qing hadn’t finished speaking when there was a thumping sound at the door.
There’s no need to open the door; they already know who’s there.
Hu Dong quickly tidied up the clothes and hid them in the room, then locked all the bedroom doors.
Seeing Hu Dong act this way, Lin Wan thought this might happen often.
Why does the mother-in-law still come to make a fuss? Is she unwilling to let the younger son live independently?
"Why are you shouting late at night? All the neighbors are watching. What are you stirring up again?" Hu Bin was fed up with this mother. He no longer went along with whatever she said like he used to.
Since moving out, their family has been very happy. The daughter got into college, and the son was tired of being poor. He started doing business at a young age.
Both he and Shen Qing have salaries and housing. Together, they earn over seventy bucks a month. Their family of four lived the good life. Especially now that they even have savings.
No way he’s letting the old mother push them around again!
"You ungrateful child, deceiving us is one thing, but now you’re yelling at your old mother like this. Where’s your conscience?" The Old Fish Woman started scolding Hu Bin as soon as she entered the room.
"And you, you ruining woman. Slut, always egging my son on, driving a wedge between us. Now my son doesn’t care about me. I’ll beat you, you despicable woman. Shameless hag!" The Old Fish Woman said as she pulled off her shoe to hit Shen Qing.
Hu Bin quickly blocked his wife and gave a cold glance at his older brother and sister-in-law behind him.
"Brother, you must have brought mom over to make trouble again, right? Take her away quickly, or I won’t give a single penny of mom’s living allowance."
"Little brother, it wasn’t us who wanted mom to come. She insisted on coming, and we couldn’t stop her. We were afraid she’d fall while walking alone at night, so we quickly followed," said the eldest sister-in-law with a face full of helplessness.
"You all, get out of my house quickly. We’re not welcoming you. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re planning. You want our house? There’s no way. We made it very clear last time. This house is in Hu Bin’s name. As long as we don’t agree, if you dare take it, don’t blame us for reporting you to the police. I don’t have much power, but my brother can speak up at the city police station. If you don’t want to go to jail, you’d better leave quickly." Ever since moving out, Shen Qing had become much more assertive, no longer the meek daughter-in-law who suffered at home.
In fact, the Old Fish Woman’s recent attempts to cause trouble haven’t gotten her anywhere.
Watching her second son break free from her control makes her feel unbalanced. She spends her days at home thinking about how to mess with the second son’s couple.
Such parents, in most people’s view, are just looking for trouble. Who has a mother like this? The Old Fish Woman is a rare and peculiar case.
Just mentioning the police station and her momentum dropped instantly.
At this point, she noticed Lin Wan was there.
Seeing Lin Wan, the Old Fish Woman’s decreased momentum quickly rose again. "Oh Shen Qing, no wonder you drive a wedge between us mother and son. No wonder you don’t let my son give me money to spend. Turns out you’re keeping the money for your bastard child."
