I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Seeing Liu Pozi's outburst, Su Tao felt a little annoyed. She was pregnant, and the whole family doted on her like a treasure, so why didn't Liu Pozi care about her? She wouldn't even let her eat a little something.

"Grandma, why are you like this? You're getting old now, how much can you even eat? We, your children, are already doing you a favor by staying by your side to take care of you, and you're still reluctant to eat a single bite!"

Granny Liu snorted coldly and glared at Wang Guihua.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and move all these things into my room. These are for me, not for anyone else. Nobody is getting anything from me!"

As she spoke, Granny Liu glanced back at Su Tao.

"How can you stay at your parents' house while you're pregnant? If you have nothing else to do, you should quickly ask your husband to take you back to be cared for. You can't give birth to the baby at your parents' house!"

After saying that, Granny Liu hobbled into her house with her cane, and Su Hanzhang quickly followed her in.

When Qin came out of the house, she saw Su Tao standing there with red eyes, staring at Liu Pozi's door. She immediately went up to her and asked with concern:

"Good girl, what's wrong with you? Didn't you come out to use the restroom? Once you're done, hurry back to your room and lie down."

When Su Tao saw Qin Shi come out, she grabbed Qin Shi's arm, stamped her feet, and cried out:

“Mom, why is my grandma so stingy? You serve her with all your heart, why does she look down on me like this? I’ve only been home for a few days, and she’s already telling me to go back. Just now, my second aunt and her family came and brought a lot of things. I said I wanted to see if there was anything I liked to eat, so I could take some back with me to cure my craving.”

Su Tao reached out and touched her stomach, then sighed:

"You know, it's only natural for me to want to eat something nice while I'm pregnant. Besides, I just can't control my cravings. Why is my grandma so stingy? She won't even let me look at her things and forced my aunt to move them all into her room."

Upon hearing this, Qin quickly took Su Tao's arm and said:

"Good girl, let's not argue with that old hag of yours. How many more years can she keep eating? Just you wait and see, she won't live much longer. When she dies, won't your mother be in charge of this family? Don't be afraid, just stay here and relax. Let's see who dares to kick you out!"

After hearing Qin's words, Su Tao felt a little better.

“Yes, Mother, I won’t leave no matter who tries to drive me away. I only feel at ease when I stay by your side. Just now, my grandmother said that I can give birth to the child in the old Su family’s courtyard. I just need to wait until I’m about to give birth before going back.”

Madam Qin nodded.

“Good girl, you decide all of this. I’ll listen to you. Just focus on taking good care of yourself during your pregnancy. The most important thing is to give birth to the baby safely. Your grandma, that old hag, just leaves all the food in her room and it’s going to get moldy. If I don’t cook for her, who will? When she asks me to cook for her, I’ll make sure to save the best food for you. Don’t worry, I promise you and the baby won’t go hungry.”

Su Tao smiled happily.

"Mom, I knew you were the best to me. I feel relieved to hear you say that."

After Liu Pozi entered the house, she finally managed to climb onto the kang (a heated brick bed) with Su Hanzhang's help, and then pointed out the window and began to curse.

“Second brother’s wife, you have no idea how hard my life has been! Look at me now, I’ve become like this, and no one in this family gives me any peace of mind. This illness of mine was caused by your third brother’s wife! And your father, he’s become like this too, he’s never around, I don’t know where he’s off gallivanting. Sigh, my life is so hard, I’ve never had a good life. Now that good days were finally coming, I got this illness. Even if there were lots of good food, I couldn’t eat it all! When I was young, I worked like a slave for the Su family and I’m still old now, and I haven’t gotten anything good out of it. I know you all resent me for being too strict with you, but I’m in charge of this whole family, what can I do if I’m not strict? If I didn’t keep a close eye on things, it’s questionable whether our family would have survived until now.”

Su Hanzhang walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Granny Liu.

"Mother, your health is already in such a state, so don't think about too many things. Let my sister-in-law and my third brother's wife handle the things at home. Just focus on getting better first."

Granny Liu took the tea and drank a sip.

"How can I not be at ease? Your fourth brother is getting married after the New Year. Look at me now, I don't even know how to face his in-laws. My life is so miserable!"

At this point, Granny Liu suddenly remembered something, put down her teacup, looked at Su Hanzhang and Wang Guihua, and said:

"And then there's your Su Mo, who lives in our yard all day to annoy me. You two can't even control her, you can't even manage a child. What are you two good for? A few days ago she came over to annoy me again, insisting that I give her one tael of silver as dowry. I'm the grandmother, and she doesn't even wish me any good. All she does is pressure me."

As she spoke, Granny Liu began to cry.

"My life is miserable. I only have enough money for my funeral, and everyone is eyeing it. I have so many children and grandchildren, but not one of them is good. They're all here to torment me, they're all debt collectors! My God, open your eyes and see how miserable my life is!"

Seeing his mother crying like this, Su Hanzhang immediately panicked and stepped forward to wipe away Liu Pozi's tears.

"Mother, didn't Banxia say that you shouldn't get too emotional right now? Don't cry, or you'll ruin your health. Who will you complain to then?"

"Leave me alone, just let me die! Everyone's trying to force me, trying to shit on my head. Now that you see I'm old and powerless, you all come to force me, right? Waaah... My wife's life is so miserable!"

While crying, Granny Liu leaned against Su Hanzhang's chest, wiping her snot and tears all over him. Wang Guihua, who was standing nearby, frowned at the sight.

"Mother, don't cry, Su Mo..."

Before Su Hanzhang could finish speaking, Wang Guihua glared at him and then took over the conversation:

“Mother, Su Mo has grown up now, she's become independent and doesn't listen to us anymore. She won't listen to anything I say, and she doesn't even want to acknowledge me as her mother anymore! Besides, it's only right that she asks you for a tael of silver for her dowry. Who told you to insist on accepting Su Feng's dowry money in the first place? In the end, you were in the wrong. If you hadn't accepted Su Mo's dowry, why would Su Mo be asking you for dowry money?”
