Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1980 - 1981: Old Mrs. Zhang’s Rebirth at 70 – Reforming Her Ungrateful Children (12)
Li Juan was truly dumbfounded; she hadn’t expected that Zhang Yu was right outside the door, hearing everything. This made her panic.
Initially, badmouthing Zhang Yu behind her back was one thing, but having the person in question hear it was another. Even more unexpected was that Zhang Yu actually shouted it out loud, which made Li Juan’s face turn pale immediately.
When Wei He heard Zhang Yu speak, he knew things were going to get bad. He was just thinking of trying to smooth things over when he heard Zhang Yu loudly repeat everything Li Juan had just said, which made him furious.
He admitted that Li Juan’s words were a bit excessive, but as an elder, how could Zhang Yu bicker with her daughter-in-law and then loudly announce it? How was Li Juan supposed to face people in the future?
Wei He could already predict that in the future, whenever people saw Li Juan, they would point fingers at her. How was she supposed to live with that?
"Mom, how could you..." Wei He said angrily.
Looking at Wei He, who was glaring at her with discontent, Zhang Yu sneered a few times, "Wei He, I’ve given you face, but you really are something."
"Have I not done enough as a mother-in-law from the moment your wife entered the house?"
"How much has your wife done since she entered the house?"
"Your wife must have been nagging a lot in front of you and in front of the two kids, or else your son Wei Ming wouldn’t say that I’m a freeloader who should be working."
"I realized then that someone must have been whispering in their ears. Now I understand, your wife is full of complaints, and you, as her husband, have never said a good word for your mother."
Zhang Yu took a deep breath, "Truly, I wasn’t that angry when your wife talked about me, after all, she’s not my daughter. But now, I’m very angry."
"Since you see me, the old mother, as so inadequate, thinking I’m bad at this and that, fine."
"I was initially thinking of going to your mother-in-law’s house to ask how she educates her daughter, but now I don’t want to. After all, her daughter is not great, but my son is even worse."
Zhang Yu took a deep breath, "This house was bought by me and your dad through our own efforts."
"It’s our house, and I’ll give you a month to move out. Whether you apply for a place or rent, just get out."
Li Juan, who initially trembled when she heard Zhang Yu talk about confronting her parents, felt relieved when it was mentioned that Old Mrs. Zhang wouldn’t go to her parents’. Since her parents live in the hospital’s staff quarters, it would be embarrassing if her scandal got out among colleagues.
But then, when she heard Zhang Yu wouldn’t go to her parents’ house, Li Juan relaxed a bit, thinking, "If I’m bad, is Wei He any better?"
Just when she let out a sigh of relief, thinking Zhang Yu couldn’t do anything to them, she was taken aback by the ultimatum to get out.
"Mom, we won’t leave, we won’t leave." Wei He truly panicked. At first, he thought Zhang Yu would just sternly reprimand them, and then things would continue as usual.
He had even planned to caution Li Juan not to make such mistakes again in the future, but he didn’t expect the old lady to kick their family of four out, making him panic.
Not to mention, their current house is about thirty square meters, and even if the unit allocates a house to them, it’s only about twenty square meters, and they still have to wait.
Most importantly, once they move out, they would have to handle all the household chores themselves, and Zhang Yu wouldn’t lift a finger to help with things like picking up the kids.
Wei He was truly remorseful now, questioning why he didn’t stop Li Juan’s complaints before.
"Did you not defend me when your wife spoke about me?"
"Or do you think she’s right?" Zhang Yu wanted to confirm Li Juan’s words.
"Mom, I, I..." Wei He didn’t know what to say.
"Speak, was I wrong about your wife just now?" Zhang Yu looked at Wei He’s evasive expression and really felt it wasn’t worth it.
Even if you raise a dog, it would bring you joy, providing emotional value. With Wei He as the son, after spending so much money, there’s nothing but unhappiness.
Li Juan, although anxious and unwilling to step forward, feared Zhang Yu would lash out at her. But seeing her husband so helpless, she said, "Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spoken about you like that."
Li Juan verbally apologized to Zhang Yu, with an apologetic expression, but internally, she was keeping this incident in mind, planning to repay it all when Zhang Yu got older and needed her care.
Zhang Yu didn’t know Li Juan’s thoughts, but she knew that her daughter-in-law, although not showing it outwardly, would remember this and would pay it back in the future.
However, she didn’t care anymore; with money and a house in this life, did she need to live according to her daughter-in-law’s whims?
She admitted that if following the previous life’s trajectory, Wei Ming and Wei Lan would be successful, but that just meant doing well in an international company with an annual income of over a million.
Even if they did well, altogether, their income might be 2 million, which was high, but if she bought a courtyard house, it would easily surpass their income.
When Wei Ming and the others saw that despite all their hard work in studying and performing on the job, it was better to make the old lady happy and inherit a courtyard house from her, could they not have any resentment?
Hmph, Zhang Yu admitted she was thinking too much, scheming against Wei He’s family, trying to make them fight later, but so what? They were allowed to scheme against others but not the other way around?
"You’re apologizing not because you realize your mistake but because I’m kicking you out." Zhang Yu was calm, not expressly stating it, but clearly not accepting her apology.
Li Juan, of course, didn’t acknowledge it, but everyone would be a fool. Zhang Yu spoke for so long, and even Wei He chimed in, but Li Juan remained silent.
"Alright, I know you have grievances against me, but I’m sorry, I have grievances against you as well, move out by the end of next month."
"Also, Zhang Yu, I don’t know where you’ll move, but I know you’re good at playing the victim. You’ll definitely say how overbearing I am as a mother-in-law."
"No problem, once I hear that, I’ll go to your parents’ house and ask how they raised their children. You have sisters-in-law, and I want to ask your mom if as a daughter-in-law, you’ve been helping your son with housework, or if you don’t do any work."
"Even down to washing your daughter-in-law’s underwear, including the stained ones during her period." Zhang Yu knew what would restrain Li Juan.
"Of course, I want to visit your workplace and ask your boss if they know what kind of person you are." Hmph, if Li Juan could broadcast things everywhere, Zhang Yu could do even worse.
Being shameless, there are no worries, and Zhang Yu firmly believed this saying was true.
