After transmigrating, I became a stepmother.

To Tie Dan's surprise, this time, after hearing his words, his mother did not urge him to admit his mistake, but instead told him, "Mother knows."

Before Tie Dan could even ask a question, he saw his mother turn to his aunt and say, "Second Aunt, I don't think Tie Dan did anything wrong today, there's no reason for him to apologize."

Although she found it strange that her sister-in-law was behaving so strangely today, the aunt couldn't allow her to lose face like this. She raised her voice and said, "That's right. What, can't I, as her aunt, ask him to do some work? He's such a big kid, shouldn't he help with some chores around the house?"

Tie Dan's mother retorted, "Helping with chores is of course expected, but since it's expected that children should help out at home, why do I never see you ordering your own children around? Instead, you're always keeping an eye on my Tie Dan!"

Auntie pouted: "What, shouldn't an older brother act like one? It's good enough that you didn't make Tiedan help take care of your younger brother!"

Instead of getting angry, Tie Dan's mother laughed: "What his second aunt said makes people think that Tie Dan and his brother are much older than each other. I remember that Tie Dan is only two months older than Jia Fu!"

These words left the aunt speechless, wondering to herself: What's wrong with this person today? Has his mind suddenly become so sharp? She didn't know how to respond to what he said.

But it doesn't matter. She looked at the old lady and complained, "Mom, look at them, my two sisters-in-law look like they want to eat me alive. I'm afraid I won't be able to say a word in this house anymore. Anyone can bully me!"

The old lady also felt that Tie Dan's mother's behavior was strange today, which was why she hadn't said anything. However, now that the second son's wife had brought the conversation to her, she had no choice but to speak up: "Eldest daughter, what's wrong with you? It's just carrying a bundle of firewood, what's the big deal? It won't tire Tie Dan out, will it? Why are you making such a fuss about it?"

Normally, Tie Dan's mother would have just swallowed this insult, but she had only recently decided to fight for a way out for Tie Dan, and now that things were going well, she was naturally not going to back down.

"Mother, that's not how it works. Today's matter may seem like a small thing, but it's not the first or second time. In the past, when have we not been patient? But what have we gotten in return? Why is it that we're brothers, but Tiedan always does the work while others always get the best food? That's not fair!"

The old woman raised her voice: "That's not fair! You're saying I'm mistreating my grandson!"

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh my God, I can't live like this anymore! My daughter-in-law is going to point her finger at me and yell at me!"

The noise quickly attracted a crowd of villagers to come and watch.

Seeing people arrive, the old lady became even more excited: "Everyone, come and judge this! How can a daughter-in-law scold her mother-in-law!"

While wailing, she secretly peeked at Tie Dan's mother's reaction. She didn't believe that she would dare to bear the infamy of talking back to her mother-in-law; she must have a death wish.

Iron Egg's mother's face turned bright red, though it was unclear whether it was from anger or embarrassment.

"What happened? How did Iron Egg's mother offend Old Lady Xue?"

"Iron Egg's mother is usually a very honest person, it can't be!"

"Who knows? But this has never happened before. Could it be that Iron Egg's mother really did something?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Dan's mother suddenly realized that she couldn't let everyone continue to speculate like this, otherwise her reputation would be ruined, and what would happen to Tie Dan!
