Zhoulao Er regretted it, especially regretting dealing with Wang Lao Si.
Wang Lao Si was the kind of person you shouldn’t get involved with, his tone becoming colder, “Is there anything else?”
Wang Lao Si frowned, somewhat puzzled as to why Zhoulao Er didn’t feel envious.
They were the same sort of existence after all.
He emphasized again, “I’ve split from the family and now live comfortably on my own.
My daughter isn’t mistreated anymore, and I even have silver coins.”
So, you should be envious and then actively seek to split the family too!
Zhoulao Er, “….”
He was frightened, realizing it was this type of Wang Lao Si who was trying to sow discord.
Wasn’t this framing him!
Zhulan, “…..”
She scoffed.
Wang Lao Si hadn’t changed—his true nature had always been like this.
His tone was so proud it was hard to ignore, and she also understood why he was dissatisfied with her.
He had lumped her together with Wang Zhang’s wife, infuriating her—she was supposed to be the model mother-in-law!
Zhulan’s face turned cold.
To think he had the nerve to show up at her doorstep to stir up trouble, “Lao Si, instead of wasting time trying to incite Chang Yi to envy your independence, you should go back and enjoy your own life.
And don’t let having a little money make you forget your own name.
Also, don’t flatter yourself into thinking you’re Chang Yi’s friend.
He just pitied you, but instead, your response was ungratefulness.
Having a ‘friend’ like you would be an absolute curse.”
Wang Lao Si’s face turned white with anger.
He was now the head of a household, and to have his face slapped on his own visit made his blood boil, “I’m just like you, Zhoulao Er—neglected by father and uncared for by mother.
I know you’re angry, worried about losing free labor, but you framing me…
my brothers understand in their hearts.”
Zhoulao Er wanted to swear.
How dare Wang Lao Si challenge his mother!
He snapped, “Who the hell is like you?
My parents cherish me, both my daughter and son are equally valued, and I have my own secret stash.
What the hell do you understand about me?
I should never have felt sorry for you in the first place, it just brought calamity upon us.
You look simple and honest, but I never suspected you were so black-hearted.”
Just as Zhulan was about to speak, the sound of coins drew her attention.
Zhao’s purse had fallen onto the table.
She yanked it open and out spilled the silver coins.
Zhulan’s eyes fixed on the silver angles, roughly estimating over three taels, plus a string of copper coins—no wonder Zhao’s purse had always been bulging.
She had always thought it was filled with food because Zhao was a constantly hungry pregnant woman, but it turned out to be full of money!
Zhao became incensed.
Wang Lao Si had jeopardized both her and her husband, glaring at Sun’s wife, “We have money.
Not only does mother allow us to keep our own private savings, but she also gives me five coins every month for spending, unlike the Daughter-in-law who only receives spare change!”
Zhao felt it wasn’t provocative enough and quickly untied her daughter’s purse, shaking out malt sugar candy and a few copper coins, “My daughter is different from yours.
She dresses and eats well, enjoys an egg custard every morning.
My daughter is a treasure—no, all the girls in the Zhou family are treasures.”
She remembered the words mother had said and felt like crying again.
Mother was too good to her!
Zhulan was stunned by Zhao’s display, shocked by her ostentatious tone.
This time, Zhao’s crying didn’t make Zhulan’s scalp tingle.
Rather, she patted Zhao’s back, “Don’t let anger harm you.

Mother won’t fall for a wicked person’s provocations.
Both of you are good, and mother knows that in her heart.”
Zhao was a bit stupefied with her head being patted by mother, “Head of the family, mother patted my head.”
She was elated!
Zhoulao Er wanted to cover his face—a foolish wife indeed.
You’ve completely exposed our financial secrets, “Yes.”
Wang Lao Si’s face turned red with embarrassment, realizing then that he was not like Zhoulao Er.
On close inspection, what he had overlooked became clear: Zhoulao Er’s clothes had no patches, his complexion was rosy, showing no sign of hardship.
The clothes of Zhoulao Er’s daughter also had no patches, and the maid was cared for as if she was a child serving before a Bodhisattva.
Pointing at Zhoulao Er, he yelled, “You’ve played me, I misjudged you!”
With that, he dragged Sun’s wife out in a rush.
Zhulan’s face darkened, hating those who evade responsibility.
It was clearly their own issue, yet they would never admit their fault, “The Zhou family does not welcome you and your wife.”
Lady Li saw Wang Lao Si run off, then eyed Zhao and Zhoulao Er, “Mother, there’s something off with Zhoulao Er’s family finances!”
Zhulan, “…..”
She had noticed it long ago but chose not to ask.
Zhao panicked, having revealed too much in her attempt to prove a point.
She hurriedly sought rescue from the Head of Family!
