Three Women in the Cage

Yang Yu felt a tinge of joy when she heard her younger sister's evaluation of her children. However, the self-deprecation buried within her heart only made her happy for a moment, and she immediately denied it, "Smart ass! I don't know them yet. Your Chi Lin is still smarter!"

Yang Su was slightly surprised to see her elder sister flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, even looking down on herself. She used to be so full of energy, but she had become so self-loathing!

But Yang Su did not intend to enlighten her elder sister, and she quite enjoyed the feeling of being envied and praised by her elder sister. She looked at her elder sister, listened to her elder sister's self-deprecating words, and responded to her perfunctorily from time to time!

She was so tired of hearing her elder sister's words that she was tired of them. After hearing them so many times, she was fed up with them. While she looked down on her, she also felt that she had lost interest in even attending opera.

After seeing that his younger sister was ignoring him, Yang Yu shut up tactfully! If others are too disdainful to even listen to you, why would you still be performing a solo?

She was dissatisfied and resentful in her heart, and she kept her distance with a sullen face. Seeing her elder sister's emotions and actions immediately revealed, Yang Su shook her head, thinking that her elder sister was difficult to get along with others!

She forced a smile and walked forward. "Why are you walking so fast all of a sudden? I can't catch up with you."

I was finally approaching my mother's house. Even from outside the courtyard gate, I could hear a festive atmosphere inside, and from time to time I could hear the sounds of children playing!

"Eldest sister! Hurry! I'm afraid there are a lot of people coming to our house! We can't let others get in first!"

Yang Su hurriedly walked past Yang Yu towards the gate of the courtyard, and Chi Mu followed quickly!

Chi Lin was smart. When he saw his parents suddenly walking forward, he left Huanhuan and Yaya and quickly chased after them.

Seeing their sudden movement, Yang Yu reacted and scolded the children who were still standing there in a daze, "Look at you, you idiots! Everyone else knows to show up, but you're the only ones standing there in a daze! Hurry up! If you're any slower, you'll end up drinking the dishwater!"

After saying that, she quickly straightened her clothes, fiddled with the children's clothes a few times, and then pushed them forward!

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw the courtyard was full of people, it was very lively.

It turned out that Yang's father had invited all the neighbors to celebrate his son's success. Since it was his birthday, he invited them to dinner under the pretext of celebrating his own birthday to avoid gossip.

Yang's father was greeting the guests with a smile on his face. Those guests also understood that he invited them to celebrate his birthday in name only to show off his son's success.

But they didn't care; they had food to eat and something fun to be around. Besides, they wanted to see how this university teacher, who had come back from the mountains with such glory, now looked so unattainable!

Of course, people like to get close to and admire those who are better than themselves. On the one hand, they envy them, and on the other hand, they despise them in their hearts.

Seeing Yang Yu approaching, the neighbors shouted with laughter, "Yu! Look, we're all here. How can you, as the eldest sister, arrive only now? Look, your younger sisters Yang Su and Chi Mu are two steps ahead of you. You, as the eldest sister, are really acting like a badass!"

Those people teased her deliberately. Yang Yu said a few perfunctory words and walked towards the inner room with the children.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw Yang Su surrounding a fashionable bride, praising her and laughing happily. The bride also smiled with her eyes curved when she heard her praise. They held hands, looking like sisters with deep affection!

Meanwhile, Chi Mu was trying to stop Yang Ming with his forced smiles and compliments. It was clear Yang Ming didn't appreciate this. Although he was living a comfortable life now and had some money, he hadn't forgotten his roots, nor had he forgotten his simple life, nor his aimless, pure chatter.

But this brother-in-law, who obviously looked smart, was full of hypocrisy in everything he said and did. However, it was difficult for him to get out of this situation, so he could only awkwardly agree with his praise!

When Yang Yu came in with her three children, Yang Ming felt like he had found a savior. He was excited and happy and rushed forward, holding Yang Yu's hand and saying, "Eldest sister! You're finally here!"

Turning to look at the three children, he said with eyes full of love, "These are my three nieces! Oh, they are so beautiful!"

After hearing what Yang Ming said, the fashionable bride also looked over. Seeing the shabby appearance of Yang Yu and the three children, she immediately thought that this should be the poor eldest sister who borrowed money!

Although she was somewhat disgusted by their shabby appearance at first glance, her shrewd and clever manner made her walk forward with a smile on her face and said cheerfully, "Sister Yu'er! You're here! Yang Ming was just talking about you! You don't know, the thing he talks about most all day is you, talking about how you used to take care of your younger brothers and sisters! Oh, it's all thanks to you, Sister Yu'er, that our Yang Ming has become so outstanding! Sister Yu'er, I want to thank you very much! Come, give me a hug!"

As she spoke, she hugged Yang Yu tightly. Yang Yu was confused for a moment. Was this the same woman who had a conflict with his third brother on the phone?

I hadn't expected her to be so calm, and I admired her from the bottom of my heart. However, her behavior made Yang Yu feel embarrassed. She hugged her back awkwardly, saying awkwardly, "Of course I should! As the eldest sister, I should take care of my younger siblings!"

Yang Su felt somewhat dissatisfied as he watched his eldest sister taking away the attention of his third brother and his wife.

He quickly changed the subject, trying to regain attention. "Sister-in-law! Come on! I'll take you to see Third Brother's study. You don't know, Third Brother used to be a very good student!"

Ma Mei actually didn't like those things about suffering. After returning, she had almost seen all of Yang Ming's family! In this family, her eldest brother and his wife looked so poor and uneducated that she despised them from the bottom of her heart!

Especially when she thought about her eldest brother marrying a second-married sister-in-law who was not good-looking, rustic, and old, and even brought two children with her! She looked down on her even more, and at the same time, she was full of disgust at her eldest brother's stupidity! He just thought that since he couldn't get a wife, he would take any random woman, any cat or dog.

He was simply incomparable to Yang Ming, who was handsome and cultured, with the temperament of an elegant scholar. She couldn't understand why brothers with the same parents could be so different from each other!

When she saw that Yang Yu was in a similar situation to her elder brother, or even worse, she just wanted to escape from these poor relatives. She hated this miserable life that was low-end from the source, and even wanted to stay away from these people!

But Yang Su was different. She was young and beautiful, and her clothes didn't look shabby. More importantly, her husband was also very handsome and well-dressed. He was the only relative of Yang Ming she was satisfied with!

So in her heart, she was inclined to go with her sister-in-law. When Yang Su offered to take her to visit Yang Ming's study, even though she had already visited it, she still agreed and said, "That's fine. I must take a good look around!"
