Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Leaving Without a Second Thought

“Mother, this matter is Third Sister-in-law’s own concern, you can’t force it onto my wife. Where is the justice in expecting a sister-in-law to help pay off her elder brother’s debts? You must be confused!” When Han Yu saw his mother acting so unjustly, and his wife was already red in the face with anger, he quickly stood up to speak.

Mrs. Wang, seeing the hesitation on the Mother-in-law’s face upon hearing her brother-in-law’s words, panicked inside. The transaction was almost complete; she could not allow it to fall through. Her complexion became even paler, and from time to time, she would touch her belly that was still not showing, fanning the flames on the side: “Fourth, how can you talk back to Mother like this just for your Fourth younger sibling? Mother always says you’re the most filial. It seems Fourth really does spoil his wife.”

Su Wenyue, having lived this life once more, only reined in her temper, but that did not mean she lacked one. At this moment, Mrs. Yang was being unreasonable and biased towards Mrs. Wang, making such an absurd demand and pressuring her. Her anger rose to the surface too.

“No one can make me comply! It is impossible for me to pay off Wang family’s gambling debt. I’m putting it out there today—even if I were to throw the fifty taels of silver into the water and let it drift away, the Wang family shouldn’t dream of getting a single piece of it! Wrongfully accused and coerced time and again, you still want to take advantage of me, thinking I, Su Wenyue, am a soft persimmon for you to squeeze as you wish! Mother-in-law, I have always respected you. Since I married into the Han Family, I have diligently observed my duties as a daughter-in-law. When have I ever defied your wishes? This time you have truly disappointed me.”

Seeing her daughter-in-law bluntly refusing her in front of everyone, and her son standing up for his wife and accusing her, added to the concern for her grandson and being instigated by Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Yang also grew very angry. Everyone was disrespecting her. As Mother-in-law, she seemed to have lost all her dignity. Ever since Su Wenyue entered the Han household, there had never been peace, and her position as Mother-in-law had become increasingly insignificant.

“I have the final say in this house. If you refuse to listen to me as the Mother-in-law, then you are no longer a part of the Han Family. I’ve made myself clear. Do as you see fit, but don’t think you can do whatever you like just because your Su Family is wealthy. This is the Han Family and you are a daughter-in-law of the Han Family—it’s my word you should follow!”

“Old lady, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if you’re worried about the Third Daughter-in-law, you can’t pin it on the Fourth Daughter-in-law. This matter has nothing to do with the Fourth Daughter-in-law from the start. Can’t you speak some reasoning?” Old Man Han usually stayed out of household affairs, but seeing things go too far, he finally spoke up. Although he was also concerned about his eldest grandson, reason still had to prevail.

“Since Mother-in-law has said so much, there’s nothing left for me to say. The families are indeed mismatched. So even if I, Su Wenyue, were to put up with everything at the Han household, you would still find faults with me. Fine, I’ll leave!” Su Wenyue knew that if she continued to stay in the Han household today, she would never be treated well. It didn’t matter whether Han Yu protected her or not; Mrs. Yang was already clouded by worry for her grandson. If Han Yu stood up for her, he would be labeled unfilial.

“If a Mother does not care about her own child and can use her child as a tool and bargaining chip to gain benefits, then why should others be so anxious? Actually, third brother doesn’t necessarily need Third Sister-in-law to have children. If third brother wants to marry another, I can provide the betrothal gifts for third brother, of course, within fifty taels.” As Su Wenyue passed by

Mrs. Wang, she couldn’t resist sneering at her.
