Wang Guihua was dissatisfied with everything she saw. Why wouldn’t she stay in a good home, but would rather suffer outside? She shielded her eyebrows, looked around, wiped everything with her hand, and when she found dust, she said unpleasant things.
Yang Hongying got up to clean the dishes, without saying a word.
Wang Guihua angrily said, "What’s your attitude when I say you’re wrong? Why don’t you speak?"
Yang Hongying glanced at Wang Guihua, "No matter what I say, you won’t be satisfied, so I might as well say nothing."
"You... Jun Tao, look at your wife! Is this how she talks to me?"
Gu Juntao sighed, "Mom, what do you want? Do you want me to hit my wife?"
"I would never. I’m just pointing out her shortcomings so she can correct them, it’s all for your sake." She sighed and grabbed her son’s wrist, "You’ve never suffered, you don’t understand anything, you’re living such a hard life outside, why not come home?"
Gu Juntao said, "I’m doing well like this, mom. I’ve started a family, I’m not a kid anymore, I don’t want to go back."
"I’m not treating you like a kid, you’re my precious! I can’t bear seeing you suffer!" She was almost crying.
Yang Hongying, holding the dishes, turned to leave, her face pale, very angry. What’s the meaning of this? Just because I’m with her son, am I abusing him?
Wang Guihua saw her expression and got furious, following her over: "Yang Hongying, marrying into our family, don’t you know how to behave? Work diligently, make the home better, that’s what a daughter-in-law should do. I’m not asking for you to be a perfect wife, but at least keep the house clean and tidy, right? How could I consent to your marriage, and yet you remain so ungrateful!"
Gu Juntao frowned, "Mom, what are you even saying!" He felt a severe headache seeing Wang Guihua starting to cause a scene.
"What did I say? A widow wanting to live with her nose in the air? Living at home without humility, who would love her then? I won’t indulge her faults!"
Yang Hongying was really angry, she threw down the chopsticks in her hand, "Just because I’m a widow, I should be a workhorse, a servant at home every day? Gu Juntao, you talk to your mother. If you also think I’m no good, then let’s divorce!" She stopped cleaning up and slammed the door to the bedroom.
"You... you... Gu Juntao, look, this is your wife’s true nature!" Wang Guihua was speechless, looking angrily at her son.
"Mom, we’re doing just fine, as long as you don’t interfere, we’re always good. I know you’re dissatisfied with Yang Hongying, but she’s the person I like, can’t you take it easy for my sake?"
"When did I scold her! She’s too immature!"
"Yang Hongying is great, her brother helped find her a job, they’re busy like me every day and only have Sundays off. How can anyone do all the chores you expect? We will handle housework together, don’t worry about it."
"What do you mean? Housework isn’t her job? The daughter-in-law should do these!"
"Have you done it? I’m laughing from anger. You’re asking my wife to do things you never did yourself. Dad and Grandpa’s family conditions were good, allowing you to live comfortably your entire life, and that’s fine. I don’t have the ability to make my wife enjoy such comfort, and I’m already quite apologetic about it, so don’t interfere with our lives. We’re living well; why do you have to find faults everywhere?"
Wang Guihua’s eyes turned red with anger; she couldn’t believe her son, whom she had cherished since childhood, could be like this!
"You completely disregard me, your heart only has your wife! Why am I even here? I’m leaving, I’ll leave now!"
She finished, grabbing her bag and walking out, crying very sadly.
Gu Juntao pulled Wang Guihua, "Mom, calm down! What are you doing?"
"Let go of me. I’ll leave, so I’m not an eyesore to you!"
