Chapter 174: Chapter 174

"Little girl, this is an adult matter, children shouldn’t interfere!" Grandma Niu spoke to Lin Xue quite politely, "I’m your aunt’s mother, is there anything wrong with coming to my daughter’s house to get some food? Isn’t that normal?"

"But that was brought over by my mom, not by my aunt!" Lin Xue knew that saying this might upset Niu Yingying, but right now, this old lady Niu was difficult to deal with, and she had no choice. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Okay, okay, I don’t want it, don’t want it!" Grandma Niu waved her hand, looking very agreeable, "Let’s eat!"

Though she said let’s eat, she didn’t put down the plate of sausages and started eating some pickled vegetables.

Actually, being able to eat dry rice was already quite good; usually, the family just had porridge and rarely ate dry rice.

As Grandma Niu started eating without any fuss, the others began eating as well.

However, Lin Xue only ate a few bites before she couldn’t eat anymore, and just as she stopped eating, Grandma Niu finished her third bowl of rice. Maybe she was full, she looked at Li Xiuying and spoke up,

"In-law, there shouldn’t be any problems with what I mentioned earlier, right? Then I’ll let Zhenggang go over!"

This statement confused the other three people, and Niu Yingying immediately raised her head, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

Before Grandma Niu could speak, Li Xiuying spoke up, saying, "In-law, I can’t make a decision on this matter!"

"Mom, what exactly is it?" Niu Yingying felt it definitely wasn’t a good thing and hurriedly asked again.

Lin Xue and Wang Cuihua both looked over, waiting for Grandma Niu to say it.

"If you can’t decide, then I will. Yingying is my daughter; I can still make decisions for her! So it’s decided! Yingying, give your work allotment to your brother Zhenggang! You stay at home to work and earn points, and by the way, take care of your in-laws!" Grandma Niu said it out loud.

"Hahaha..." Lin Xue couldn’t help it and suddenly burst out laughing.

Wang Cuihua also looked incredulous. Where did this old lady Niu get the nerve to say something ?

The main character, Niu Yingying, already had red, tearful eyes.

She wasn’t afraid of Grandma Niu taking her job to give to her brother because she couldn’t take it.

It was her mother’s favoritism that disappointed her. At this moment, she was utterly disillusioned with her mother and the Niu Family.

Were it not for her father, how could her mother dare to come and say this to her?

"You little child, what are you laughing at? Go out and play! Stop disrupting adult conversation!" Grandma Niu scolded Lin Xue.

"Let me say, grandma-in-law, you’re really amusing. It’s fine for you to make decisions at the Niu Family, but why come to the Wang Family to act as the boss now? Have you torn off the left side of your face and pasted it on the right? One side is shameless, and the other side is double-faced!" Lin Xue angrily retorted to Grandma Niu.

"Who are you calling shameless, you little..."

"Mom!" Before Grandma Niu could finish cursing, Niu Yingying shouted at her loudly.

"Why are you shouting so loud, child? Mom can hear you!" Grandma Niu was startled by Niu Yingying’s sudden shout and forgot to curse Lin Xue.

"Mom, I ask you, did I come out from your belly?" Niu Yingying questioned her mother with tears in her eyes.

"Of course! You were a difficult birth, it was really tough!" Grandma Niu didn’t know why her daughter asked this, but she answered seriously.

"Then why is your heart so biased? We’re both your children, are your son and daughter really that different?" Niu Yingying asked.

"Yingying! Don’t blame mom for being partial! You also bear the Niu name. Shouldn’t you be concerned about the Niu Family’s future? Your nephews’ well-being depends on this job! And in the future, when your brother marries and has children, they’ll also bear the Niu name. Can’t you just think more about your brother and the Niu Family? Just give this job to your brother!" Grandma Niu earnestly and kindly advised.

Lin Xue just listened without speaking. This was a matter for Niu Yingying to resolve; it was good to let her see what her maternal family was truly like and how they treated her.

Back when they got married, she could tell the Niu Family would be difficult, but since her uncle liked Niu Yingying, she couldn’t do anything about it.

"You mention the Niu Family, asking me to think of the Niu Family. Then who will think of my children?" Niu Yingying, unwilling to give up, asked again.

"The children you bear belong to the Wang Family, of course, the Wang Family will take care of them!" Grandma Niu replied without thinking.

"Ha... you said it, those are my children! If my own mother doesn’t care for me, why should I neglect my own children to care for some nephews? Mom, give it up! From now on, I won’t interfere with the Niu Family matters! I’m married into the Wang Family, so I’m a Wang Family member!" Niu Yingying’s heartless words were spoken, sealing her decision against the Niu Family.

"Grandma-in-law, let me tell you something! Aunt’s work allotment was given by our family! Don’t treat it as something from your Niu Family to decide over recklessly! It was originally my mom’s allotment! It was given to aunt because she’s a Wang Family daughter-in-law; it could never go to some distant Niu Family!" Lin Xue saw Niu Yingying looked upset and spoke to Grandma Niu.

"In-law, I said I couldn’t decide because this work allotment is a handover! Yingying is taking Cuihua’s place!" Li Xiuying also spoke up, phrasing her words delicately so as not to embarrass Niu Yingying. "Yingying is also your real daughter! Her going to work in the city is also a good thing! Plus, she can be with Yongsheng, the couple together, how wonderful! Let’s be happy for the kids, we’re getting old! Let’s not interfere too much, kids have their blessings!"

Li Xiuying’s words, translated from Grandma Niu’s perspective, might sound :

"In-law, my daughter Yingying working, that salary goes to your Wang Family. My Niu Family doesn’t get anything, you’re happy about it, why should I be happy?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Cuihua’s face also started to look displeased.

"In-law, you’re clearly almost robbing us!" For the first time, Wang Cuihua interjected into the matter.

Lin Xue was amused, her mother actually spoke up, it was quite funny.

"How about this! Yingying’s salary, half to the Niu Family, half to the Wang Family, then I won’t interfere with this! How does that sound?" Grandma Niu said easily, as if negotiating.

"Grandma-in-law, Aunt is married! She has her own life, her own family! Why don’t you divide your daughter-in-law’s work points and give some to her family? Do all the good things fall to you?" Lin Xue coldly remarked.

This left Grandma Niu without a retort.

"If push comes to shove, go to the brigade leader, the commune secretary, or even the mayor to settle this. Does a married daughter have the obligation to give her salary to her original family?" Lin Xue saw Grandma Niu falling silent, so she added, "I happen to be quite familiar with Mayor Guo, I can take you to settle this!"

"If you still want some face, just go home! Don’t come finding me in the future, I’ll pretend I don’t have a maternal family! As for how my brothers turn out, I can’t care anymore. If you really don’t care about reputation, then go with Xiao Xue to settle it!" After being upset for a while, Niu Yingying, with a terribly gloomy expression, said to her mother.

Grandma Niu could see her daughter was truly angry and, fearing that continuing to argue would spoil things and bring no benefits in the future, she quickly got up and put on her shoes, "Mom’s going back, going back! Don’t be angry, don’t be angry! Mom’s leaving right away!"

While leaving, she didn’t forget to take the plate of sausages, taking the plate along with it.
