Xu Mingzhen sneered in anger.
She had been enduring it, but at this point, she really couldn’t bear it anymore.
She didn’t care that Mrs. Xu didn’t like her.
As a daughter, she had fulfilled her filial duties and no one could blame her for anything.
She won’t give any more than that.
Even though every time she came, Mrs. Xu’s attitude towards the Tan brothers and Tan Mo was completely different from that towards Yuan Keqing, and her family endured it every time she was cold towards the Tan brothers and Tan Mo.
But Mrs. Xu couldn’t be so harsh on her children.
This was simply an insult!
Xu Mingzhen took out all the money in the red envelopes, a total of 700 yuan for the four children.
Xu Mingzhen sneered.
She didn’t expect that even with these 700 yuan, she could still distinguish the amounts.
Even among grandchildren, there was difference.
Old Mrs. Xu still favoured boys over girls.
Xu Mingzhen threw the red envelope into the trash can in the bathroom and went out with the 700 yuan.
“Mom, why are you giving your kids red envelopes? Just keep these 700 yuan and buy yourself some food.”
Old Mrs. Xu frowned and said, “Why? Do you think the red envelope I gave you is too little?”
“I don’t know why you don’t like my four children, but even if you don’t like them, don’t insult them like this. Making them kowtow, but still showing disgust and using this little money to get rid of them.”
“Mingzhen.” Tan Wenci came over to persuade Xu Mingzhen.
Be patient, we will go back soon.
Then it will be goodbye until next year.
“Don’t stop me. It didn’t matter in the past, but you can’t insult my children.” Xu Mingzhen said bluntly, “Dad has been dead for seven years. In these seven years, your living expenses, all expenses, including the aunt at home, were all paid by my husband.”
Before, Xu Mingjing’s family had to rely on their family for support. How could they expect Xu Mingjing to support Old Madam Xu?
“As for the red envelope you gave out today, to be frank, it’s all Wenci’s money. Usually, we give a lot to the four children. Their daily pocket money is more than this, so there’s no need for you to give 200 yuan each. Oh no, Momo’s is only 100 yuan.”
Who was this insulting?
She took the money from Tan Wenci, gave Yuan Keqing such a thick red envelope, and then turned around and stepped on their child.
Even if she was her own mother, she couldn’t tolerate it!
“After all, you still think that what I give you is not enough? You feel wronged for supporting me? Because you have a good life and your sister’s family is not as good as yours, so I ask you to pay more. It turns out that you have always felt unbalanced.” Old Mrs. Xu’s hands were shaking with anger, as she pointed at Xu Mingzhen, “My living expenses, plus aunt’s salary, how much is it?”
“Okay, Mingjing is also your daughter. Now Yuan Zhengwen has started his own business. His business is doing well and he has money. We have supported you for seven years, so from this year on, let Yuan Zhengwen support you. He will also support you for seven years, and then our two families will take turns.” Xu Mingzhen’s mouth twitched sarcastically, “You can’t always take advantage of us.”
Yuan Zhengwen immediately became anxious: “Sister, my company has just started, it’s not stable yet, I…”
“The old lady’s living expenses and aunt’s salary are just a few dollars. They don’t take up much of your money.” Xu Mingzhen returned the words of old lady Xu exactly as they were.
When Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Mingzhen was serious, she started to panic.
“I just wanted to encourage Keqing because she did well in the exam.” Mrs. Xu said, “Keqing is your niece. As her aunt, do you still want to argue with your niece?”
“Oh? Really?” Xu Mingzhen’s smile suddenly changed from sarcasm to joy.
This left Old Mrs. Xu a little confused.
Xu Mingjing and Yuan Keqing thought of it, and their expressions became awkward.
Xu Mingzhen smiled and said, “Didn’t Mingjing tell you? Momo got full marks in all the subjects this time.”
It was much better than Yuan Keqing’s score of 90!
“You can’t give Momo some encouragement, but you can’t be son-in-law, right? Give 200 to the three brothers and 100 to Momo?” How disgusting during the New Year!
Tan Wenci had advised Xu Mingzhen to be patient, but now that he heard Xu Mingzhen say this, he couldn’t help it.
The bottom line of Tan Wenci was Tan Momo.
As long as Tan Mo was involved, nothing was allowed.
“Mother-in-law.” Tan Wenci’s face darkened. “Momo is our precious daughter that my wife and I have finally gotten after so many years. She has always been the only one in the family. Her brothers all want to give everything they have to Momo. We cannot let such a precious daughter of ours suffer such insults and grievances outside.”
“How can it be considered an insult and grievance? Is it that serious?” Old Mrs. Xu thought to herself, just a young girl, why would the Tan family treasure her so much?
Only the Tan family was different from others, they had given birth to three sons, but they insisted on having another daughter, and they also spoiled their daughter to the sky, even worse than their sons.
“Since you usually treat Momo better than Jinqi and his two brothers at home, and make them suffer so much grievances, then what’s wrong with me, as their grandmother, loving them a little more?” Old Mrs. Xu spoke with confidence, and it was Tan Mo who was blamed.
Xu Mingzhen was so angry that she laughed.
A little more love?
Did the three brothers owe Old Mrs. Xu these 200 yuan?
Old Mrs. Xu’s money was all given by Tan Wenci.
As a result, now the old lady was using Tan Wenci’s money to humiliate Tan Wenci’s child.
How could Old Mrs. Xu do that!
Just as Xu Mingzhen was about to retort, she saw that Old Lady Xu turned around and looked at Tan Mo with a stern face: “Tan Mo, I want to say something to you too. How can you be so competitive? You are the elder sister, why don’t you give in to your younger sister? Keqing did well in the exam and deserves praise. You shouldn’t go around saying that you got full marks and outsmarted your younger sister. People will point fingers behind your back and make fun of your younger sister for not being as good as you. Do you think our family can still have a good reputation?”
“Momo did well in the exam, why can’t she say it? If you’re afraid of being criticized, why don’t you just let Keqing study hard and do better in the exam?” Tan Jinsheng pouted and retorted with disdain.
Yuan Keqing herself was not good at studying, so why was she blaming their Momo?
Yuan Keqing’s smile trembled. Was Tan Jinsheng talking like a human being?
She snuggled in Old Lady Xu’s arms, looked up and said, “Grandma, actually the difficulty of the exams varies from school to school. It just so happens that the exams in our school are more difficult. Don’t look that I got 90 points in math, it was the highest score in our class. The same goes for Chinese. Although it’s not a perfect score, it’s also the highest score in our class. So I don’t force myself to get a perfect score. The key is still the difficulty of the exam paper.”
“The papers of Jixia Academy are simple and it’s easy to get full marks. We can’t force my cousin to get questions like one plus one equals two wrong.” Yuan Keqing’s voice was so soft that it softened Old Mrs. Xu’s heart.
