Faced with Liu Feiyan's furious accusations, Hu Wan remained indifferent.

She had always thought Liu Feiyan was incredibly stupid and incompetent. If it weren't for the Liu family's favor towards her, she wouldn't even have the right to speak in front of her!

The husband she married was also incompetent. Not only was he unambitious, but he also did nothing but eat and drink all day long, and her son was always causing trouble.

To be honest, what she truly envied was Liu Ruyan, who married a good husband; Song Lin had been genuinely good to her all these years.

Knowing that her family kept asking her for things, which would be unbearable for an ordinary man, Song Lin didn't want to put Liu Ruyan in a difficult position, so he didn't interfere.

Few men can do that.

However, the less Hu Wan explained, the more Liu Feiyan felt that what she said was very likely true.

"Yan'er, are you aware of this?"

Liu Feiyan looked at her daughter, her mind replaying how her husband had indeed been coming home later and later each day, and sometimes not at all.

She thought it was because she was too heartbroken, but what if another girl was pursuing her...?

Sun Yan'er's eyes flickered slightly. She had heard some rumors, but she didn't take them to heart.

"Even your daughter knows that, so the whole family thinks you're a fool!" Hu Wan mocked. "Think about it carefully, all the children you gave birth to have the surname Sun!"

You think these are your children, but little do you know that they are all of one mind with your husband!

Seeing how Hu Wan's words were so poignant, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but sigh that the original owner's aunt was quite a character!

Even someone as unreasonable as Liu Feiyan was rendered speechless by her words, and was even... almost brought to tears!

"Mother, my sister-in-law is deliberately bullying me! You must stand up for your daughter!"

Liu Feiyan looked at her mother, her expression full of grievance, but her eyes were filled with fierceness. "This fried chicken shop is mine, and all the previous ones were mine too. My brother didn't say anything, so why should my sister-in-law complain?"

At this moment, Liu's mother, who wished she could disappear on the spot, was being held by Liu Feiyan, and her face turned ugly.

She could easily resolve the argument between Feiyan and Ruyan, but now it was her eldest daughter-in-law who was causing trouble, and she was no pushover either!

She couldn't possibly let her daughter-in-law be driven away to her parents' home for the sake of her daughter; otherwise, the reputation of the Liu family would be ruined.

Before Liu's mother could speak, Hu Wan said, "Mother-in-law, I have been more than indulgent towards Feiyan over the years. These shops originally belonged to me."

I'm just asking her to return what belongs to me. If she doesn't, I'll take it to the authorities. There's no such thing as owing money and not paying it back!

"If you divorce me because of this, I'll take the child and kill myself by running into the Liu family's house. You can decide what to do!"

Liu's mother's face was ashen, and her open mouth couldn't utter a single word.

Song Ruozhen: "...Auntie is really something. Others would cry, make a scene, or threaten suicide, but she skipped all the first three steps and just had the child hang himself?"

Song Zhiyu: "If Mother had used this trick before, she wouldn't have suffered so much injustice all these years, right?"

"Are you stupid? Using this trick will only make Dad feel sorry for you. In the end, Mom has been emotionally blackmailed by Grandpa all these years."

Even if her family is poor, a biological daughter shouldn't abandon her parents. Otherwise, if things really escalate to that point, her mother won't be able to face anyone in the Song family.

Song Jingshen glanced at his mother. When he was a child, he didn't understand why his mother always suffered humiliation and even felt disappointed in her, thinking that his mother was useless.

Now that I'm older, I understand that my mother did it not only for herself and my father, but also for them.

If they were branded as unfilial, given Liu Feiyan and her ilk's temperament, they would certainly exaggerate the matter and spread it far and wide, not only tarnishing their father's reputation but also affecting the future of their children.

From their perspective, they would rather give up their future than let their mother suffer such injustice, but their mother's thoughts were definitely different from theirs.

She would rather suffer injustice and remain caught in the middle than affect them in the slightest.

Song Jingshen couldn't help but wonder, "It's really strange. My mother is also her biological daughter, so why would my maternal grandmother be so biased?"

Although it's normal for families with several children to not treat each other equally, even if they can't be treated equally, it doesn't have to be this excessive!

"Don't you guys think that Mother doesn't actually look like Grandmother, but Aunt does look quite like Grandmother?"

Song Ruozhen spoke up at the opportune moment, expressing her suspicion that her mother was not actually the biological daughter of the Liu family, as they did not resemble each other in appearance.

Liu Ruyan was much prettier than Liu Feiyan; otherwise, her father would not have fallen in love with her mother at first sight. Even though the Song family wanted to marry Liu Feiyan to him, he insisted on marrying his mother.

Moreover, given how materialistic the Liu family is, and how they are so focused on money, they should treat Liu Ruyan better.

Upon hearing this, Song Jingshen and Song Zhiyu's expressions changed slightly, and they subconsciously made a connection. If this was true, then all the inconsistencies could be explained.

Liu Ruyan also heard Song Ruozhen's casual remark, and her eyes showed a slightly complicated expression. In fact... she had considered this possibility.

She had even inquired whether she might have been adopted, but even the nanny she trusted most said that she had personally witnessed the old lady giving birth to the child after ten months of pregnancy, and there was no possibility that she had been adopted.

After receiving this news, she gradually gave up the idea. Perhaps it was just that she wasn't as sweet-talking or good at pleasing her parents as her younger sister.

Song Ruozhen observed Liu Ruyan's expression and saw that she did not seem surprised after hearing it, nor did she refute her. She then understood a bit about it.

After all these years, how could my mother not have any doubts?

"Feiyan, stop making a fuss. How about we let your sister-in-law have the fried chicken shop first, and you can go back and settle your family matters first?"

Liu's mother mediated, knowing Hu Wan's temperament and harboring some apprehension. Coupled with the previous few shops, she was indeed guilty and had no choice but to give everything to Hu Wan.

"Mother!" Liu Feiyan said with a look of resentment. She had planned for so long, but now it had all benefited Hu Wan. How could she accept this?

“Listen to me this time, stop making a fuss. Your sister-in-law is right. Our own family is in dire need of money. Are we really going to let Gangzheng squander so much silver?”

Liu's mother was assertive and did not give Liu Feiyan any chance to cause trouble.

Seeing this, Liu Feiyan had no choice but to nod, "Alright then."

Seeing that the group had arranged the ownership of the fried chicken shop without even asking their opinions, the Song family couldn't help but find it amusing.

In the past, they had some reservations, but the Song family is different now, and they have no more reservations.

"Ruyan, hand over that fried chicken shop to your sister-in-law. Take advantage of your free time today and get it done." Mother Liu beckoned, signaling Liu Ruyan to come over.

However, Liu Ruyan stood still without moving an inch.

"Mother, you must not have woken up properly this early in the morning?"
