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

Granny Liu sighed deeply, tapped her cane hard on the ground, and then sighed again.

"Second brother, I feel really uncomfortable seeing your father right now. If you still consider me your mother, please take me to your house for a few days so I can calm down."

Upon hearing Liu Pozi's words, Wang Guihua, who had been silent until now, immediately stepped forward and tugged at Su Hanzhang's sleeve.

He whispered in Su Hanzhang's ear:

"Hanzhang, that won't do."

Su Hanzhang glanced at Wang Guihua with a troubled expression, then shook off her hand and walked to Granny Liu's side, saying:

“Mother, I’m afraid this won’t work. You don’t know, there are several people living in our courtyard now. I’m afraid I won’t be able to entertain you properly if you go. You’ll only get angrier. Besides, you’re getting on in years. If you suddenly move to a different place, you might not be able to sleep all night. Your body won’t be able to handle it.”

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu snorted coldly.

"How come everyone else has a place to stay at your house, but I, as your mother, don't even have a place to stay? I raised you with so much hardship from childhood, and this is how you repay me? I didn't say I was staying at your house for long. I'm just feeling down right now and wanted to stay at your house to change my mood. Look at how scared you are."

Upon hearing what Granny Liu said, Su Hanzhang became restless, fidgeting with his sleeves, unsure of what to do.

Seeing that Su Hanzhang seemed somewhat moved by her expression, Wang Guihua quickly stepped forward to block her path and said:

“Mother, we’ve separated our households a long time ago. It’s fine for Hanzhang and me to bring gifts to visit you both during holidays, but if we take you to stay in our yard today, what will the villagers say about my eldest brother and my third brother? I know you’re upset about that. You can come to my house for New Year’s Eve dinner tomorrow, so don’t think too much about it. You’re already this age, and my father will definitely not go out and mess around anymore. You two should still live together peacefully, shouldn’t you?”

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu raised an eyebrow and looked at Wang Guihua.

"Oh, now that you're living in a big house and having a good life, you talk differently than before. You used to be such a quiet, unassuming wife, but now you can argue back with ten sentences for every one I say. All I wanted was to stay at your place for a few days, and look at how you're making such a big deal out of it, even dragging your older brother and younger brother into it! Why don't you just say it's because you're petty and don't want me to eat and stay at your place!"

Seeing how rude Liu Pozi was, Wang Guihua stopped tolerating her and immediately changed her expression.

“Mom, you said you wanted to spend the New Year at our house, which attracted a whole bunch of people. We thought it was to fulfill your wish, so we agreed. Now you're saying you want to stay at our house for a couple of days. In a few days, are you going to say that our house is the ancestral home of your Su family and not the second branch of the Su family?”

Granny Liu was shocked that Wang Guihua dared to talk back to her like that, and she coughed violently a few times in anger.

"Ahem, what are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Do you think I'm the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others?"

Wang Guihua snorted coldly.

"You're not just taking small advantages, you're taking huge ones. Before we separated, you took advantage of our second branch of the family quite a bit. You just took advantage of our Hanzhang because he's blindly filial, and you just wanted to keep skinning us alive. I guess after the separation, we finally recovered, but you wanted to come back to our house. I'm telling you right now, as long as I'm alive, as long as I'm still Su Hanzhang's wife, you can forget about living in our house! Don't you know what kind of mess you've made before! What do you have that deserves our respect? I'm already being kind by not breaking ties with you. You've crossed my bottom line time and time again, and I'm not a pushover. You think you can control me?"

Granny Liu was surprised that Wang Guihua had become so sharp-tongued, and for a moment she didn't know what to say to her, since what Wang Guihua said was all true.

So Granny Liu turned her head directly to Su Hanzhang, who was standing to the side, and said:

"Hanzhang, this is your good wife! This is how she makes me angry. Now that I'm paralyzed on one side, she doesn't treat me like a human being anymore. You just told me not to get angry, but look at what she said, how can I not be angry? I'm supposed to be an elder, and she gave me a good scolding. What kind of daughter-in-law is she? It's only because I'm sick now that my temper has improved. If it were before, I would have beaten her two miles away! You better control her! I'm going to stay at your house tonight, let's see if she can still beat me out!"

Hearing Liu Pozi's unreasonable words, Wang Guihua's eyes reddened with anger, and she looked at Su Hanzhang and asked:

"Su Hanzhang, what are you thinking? Are you just going to let your mother bully me like this? Have you forgotten the grievances our family suffered before?"

Su Hanzhang was extremely nervous at this point. He stood there, unsure whether to speak up for his mother or advise his wife to calm down. He kept looking at her, sweating profusely with anxiety.

Seeing that Su Hanzhang hadn't uttered a single word for a long time, Wang Guihua burst into tears of anger.

"Su Hanzhang! I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be married to such a good-for-nothing like you, sob sob sob! All you do is be filial to your parents all day long, but what about them? They treat you like a beast of burden! If they had even a shred of compassion for you, they wouldn't have had the nerve to bring this up and put you in such a difficult position today. If you want to be the sucker, then go ahead and be it! Don't drag our whole family down with you!"

After saying that, Wang Guihua ignored what Su Hanzhang and Granny Liu were saying, turned around and ran out crying.

Seeing his wife run away, Su Hanzhang wanted to go out and try to persuade her, but Granny Liu grabbed his hand.

"Hanzhang, I know you are the most filial. Listen to me and let me stay at your house for a few days. I promise I won't be a nuisance. I really can't live in the same room as your father anymore. I feel disgusted just looking at him. I can't live like this if I have to be with him every day!"

Su Hanzhang, with red eyes, turned to look at Granny Liu.

"Mom, please stop pressuring me. Do you have to ruin this family before you're done? If you really don't want to share a room with Dad, then let him stay in my older brother's room for a few days. Besides, my older brother is living alone right now, so why do you have to force me?"
