Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 889 - 878: The Partial Grandmother of the Transmigrated Heroine

Ye Qiu opened her eyes and sighed heavily, feeling a bit troubled. The original self’s actions were indeed somewhat unfair, moreover, her third daughter-in-law was very lazy and snobbish, and the third son was used to sneaky behavior, while the youngest daughter was quite spoiled and pampered.

The eldest son and daughter-in-law seemed very good, but they turned a blind eye to the contributions of the second household, treating them as a matter of course.

As for the second household, being bullied wasn’t really excusable. The whole family was smart, knowing how to act in their own interest, except for the second household, who was overly honest, bullied without uttering a sound, not speaking up like the first household when something happened, not knowing how to take advantage like the younger son and daughter did by acting spoiled, so it wasn’t surprising that the original self was biased.

If only the second household were a bit more assertive, would the third daughter-in-law dare to make her own son’s diapers be washed by the second daughter-in-law just now? If she didn’t wash them, what could anyone else do?

Ever since the female lead transmigrated over, she was very indignant about her family’s situation, aiming to split up the household. She first coaxed her third uncle who loved gambling to bet, waited until the debt collectors came knocking, then spoke with the first household about dividing the family.

After splitting, the second household lived a quiet life behind closed doors, secretly earning money by the bucketful, while the third household was pushed to the brink of collapse, eventually causing the third son to be beaten until his leg was broken.

As for the eldest son’s family, it seemed they got the better deal from the split, but in reality, they couldn’t voice their suffering, needing to support the eldest son’s studies, periodically assisting the third household as the original self did, and taking care of the unmarried younger sister-in-law. In an era where filial piety was paramount, they truly lived a stifling life.

The eldest grandson, seeing his parents in such difficulty, felt increasingly pressured, and under pressure, his study efficiency dropped, eventually failing repeatedly, seeing his cousin progress rapidly in his studies, yet unwilling to give up, ultimately dragging his family down to exhaustion.

Regarding the female lead’s actions, Ye Qiu did not wish to comment. Was she wrong? It was for her own small family’s good. Was she right? But was her revenge against the eldest uncle’s family too excessive?

Moreover, when she clearly knew her younger sister-in-law’s fiancé was of bad character, she didn’t tell her, allowing her to marry into a pit of fire. Ye Qiu disapproved of such behavior even more. Sure, her younger sister-in-law had bullied her mother, but it was nothing more than saying a few harsh words. Was there a need to ruin someone’s entire life?

However, the task in this lifetime wasn’t to take revenge on the female lead. Actually, revenge is just a tit-for-tat exchange. The female lead protecting her own family wasn’t wrong, though she acted rather harshly and ruthlessly.

Therefore, in this lifetime she should just protect the eldest grandson well, help the younger son and daughter to mend their ways, let them change those bad habits so they can live a peaceful and happy life.

After clearing her mind, she promptly got up from bed. Though she had three sons and a daughter, with the eldest grandson already ten years old, she herself was only forty-eight this year and still quite robust.

Seeing Ye Qiu silently stand behind her, the second daughter-in-law Yao Xue Mei jumped in shock, sheepishly saying: "Mother, you’re up? I haven’t finished cooking yet, I’ll start right away."

"No need to rush." Ye Qiu frowned. Noticing the second daughter-in-law’s increased fear, she felt a bit upset and said, "After feeding the pigs, then go cook."

"Yes, Mother." After Ye Qiu left, Yao Xue Mei heavily sighed in relief, the bitter expression on her face growing stronger.

Having risen a bit early, Ye Qiu wandered around the house aimlessly. In this era, land was precious, so they grew some vegetables and herbs around the house, occupying little space and conveniently accessible. Their vegetable garden was well tended, mostly thanks to the second household’s efforts.

Thinking it over, the original self indeed shortchanged the second household. Most of the housework was done by them, yet their status within the family was the lowest. But they had no one to blame but themselves for not knowing how to speak up, and for the second daughter-in-law’s family background. If not for her secretly taking the second son’s odd job earnings back to her own family yesterday, the original self wouldn’t have been so furious as to make her do all the housework alone.

The second daughter-in-law’s family background was also a reason for the Old Lady’s favoritism. At that time, after getting the eldest son married, the family was out of money. Yet the second son insisted on marrying the second daughter-in-law, no matter how much the original self objected, it was of no use, he was determined to wed. This was the first time the second son had ever disobeyed the original self.

The original self’s husband watched the second son plead earnestly and agreed to his request. However, the second daughter-in-law’s family was poor, demanding a dowry as if selling a daughter. The original self’s husband had to fish in the river during the dead of winter to earn money, eventually the ice cracked, though he was saved, his body was frostbitten, leading to poor health and ultimately passing away within a couple of years.

It could be said the second daughter-in-law was exchanged for the original self’s husband’s life, so how could the original self not hate?

But now the second daughter-in-law even used family funds to bolster her own family, enraging the original self, resulting in the second household being forced to handle all the housework.

As for the third son’s family, the original self favored them firstly because the third son was sweet-tongued, and secondly because he came with a generous dowry. By then, the family was so poor they could barely afford food, yet the third daughter-in-law liked her son despite all this, naturally she treated the third daughter-in-law well and tolerated her sharp-tongued remarks.

The youngest daughter lost her father before turning ten, so as her mother, she naturally doted on her more, resulting in her being a bit spoiled.

Regarding the second son’s family, she did not wish to manage them, nor could she. But the younger son’s family and the youngest daughter’s temperament needed adjustment; loving them didn’t mean indulging them, overindulgence only leads to harm. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Also, the eldest grandson, while having talent in studies, lacked stress tolerance and had some misconceptions, believing being a scholar elevated him above others, entitled to the entire family’s sacrifices. Moreover, his physical fitness needed improvement too, as the eldest grandson, he must take on the responsibility for the whole family in the future, requiring both capability and accountability.

Once the eldest grandson becomes upright, the eldest son and daughter-in-law, even for their son’s sake, must act appropriately and fairly. But all this will take time, the first matter to resolve is the gambling issue the younger son is about to engage in under the female lead’s encouragement.

Once gambling starts, there’ll be repeated occurrences; winners wanting more, losers wanting to recover their losses. Stepping into that threshold leads to a point of no return, countless families have been ruined due to gambling.

Gambling is easy, quitting gambling is hard. Crushing the idea of gambling at the source is the simplest and most efficient solution.

After wandering outside for a while, the family members gradually got up. Observing the rather good-looking family, she nodded to herself. Regardless of the era, good-looking people always tend to be luckier.

The female lead ultimately managed to marry the Princely Heir, partly due to her advanced thinking and exceptional means which attracted the heir’s attention, partly because of her good looks. As the female lead, a person’s appearance wouldn’t be lacking. According to the laws of heredity, naturally, her family’s looks wouldn’t be lacking either.
