Chapter 341

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Yang Xiaodong. She had seen shameless people before, but someone as shameless as this was rare.

"What do you really want?" Yang Xiaodong sat down again.

Bai Xiuxiu glanced at Grandma Yang and then at Yang Xiaodong: "If your family takes care of Grandma Yang, then you should give her a monthly allowance for her living expenses, ensuring she has food and drink.

She will move back into her room, and the rest of the house will be for your family."

"What? Are you kidding me? How can our whole family fit in there? Besides, why should we give her money?" Wang Lihua, who had just returned with water, exploded.

She wished she could pour the water over their heads.

Yang Xiaodong glanced at his wife but remained silent.

It was clear he felt the same way.

"If you don't agree, then Grandma Yang will be the head of the household, and you'll have to move out," Bai Xiuxiu continued.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaodong was not afraid.

He laughed coldly and looked at the old lady: "Mom, so all this fuss is because you find us a nuisance? Fine, we'll move out. You can stay in this dilapidated house until you die.

When you're gone, see who will carry you out.

At that time, don't count on me or your grandson.

You and our family will have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Grandma Yang's eyes welled up with tears at what she heard.

Bai Xiuxiu subtly shielded Grandma Yang from Yang Xiaodong's gaze, preventing him from hurting the old lady with his words.

"Uncle Yang, you don't have to talk like that. If you're not willing, there are others ready to step in and care for Grandma Yang. You're not her only child. Grandma Yang's daughter lost her husband a few years ago.

She’s currently raising her son at her in-laws' home, but she’s willing to return to care for Grandma Yang.

If you decide to move out, we can help you arrange it quickly.

We’ll ensure that Grandma Yang is settled in a comfortable home as soon as possible.

And if you need assistance finding a new place to live, we can help with that as well."

Bai Xiuxiu remained calm and composed.

Yang Xiaodong's face darkened instantly. "Just because she’s a woman and married, why should she have the right to come back?"

"You’re not willing to care for your mother, but you can’t stop others from honoring their filial responsibilities," Bai Xiuxiu said, wiping Grandma Yang's tears.

Seeing Yang Xiaodong's reluctant expression, she continued, "Don’t glare at Grandma Yang like that. She’s still trying to preserve your dignity. If it were up to me, I’d broadcast this to the whole neighborhood.

Let everyone see how your family’s reputation is ruined.

You kicked your own mother out to make room for your daughter-in-law’s brother.

Your mother is still considering your reputation, and yet you’re complaining about being wronged?"

Bai Xiuxiu mercilessly countered him.

She didn’t mock him, and Yang Xiaodong couldn’t even find a reason to complain about her attitude.

The old woman was brought to tears by Bai Xiuxiu’s words. Bai Xiuxiu’s words struck a chord with her.

She felt truly wronged. She was still too young and naive when she was married into the Yang family, only to work herself to the bone for them.

After marriage, she took care of her in-laws. Her own family had passed away, and they considered her unlucky, so they made her take the Yang family’s surname.

She didn’t even have her own last name, and she had spent her entire life living for her children.

After her husband died, she had hoped that her children would take care of her.

But one left, one became a son-in-law to another family, and the one who stayed didn’t want to care for her. They even thought she lived too long.

What a bitter fate she had.

Yang Xiaodong felt awkward at what was being said. From the inner room, a woman wearing a floral cotton jacket came out. She had two neat braids and a pleasant appearance.

A heart-shaped face with delicate features and bright eyes.

But as soon as she spoke, her tone was unreasonably demanding: “I’m telling you, I married into your family because you let my brother come to stay. My family is poor, and our house isn’t good.

My brother needs to live in a good place. If you’re not happy about it, I’ll get a divorce right away.”

“Grandma, do you really need to come back and fight over that room? My wife’s brother is so young, and you’re so old. Do you really need to fight?” Finally, the eldest grandson of the family came out.

Bai Xiuxiu looked at him, seeing he looked almost exactly like his father.

The old woman was rendered speechless by what was said and remained silent.

Bai Xiuxiu smiled at them. “You still don’t understand the situation, do you? It seems you didn’t hear everything in the room. Don’t worry, Grandma Yang won’t be crammed in with your family, and she won’t take the room where your wife’s brother stays.

This house belongs to Grandma Yang. If you want to live in a bigger place, you can just move somewhere else.

If you’re willing to take care of Grandma Yang, then the western room will be yours.

It seems it won’t be enough to fit all of you.

I suggest you think about where you’re going to live next.”

Bai Xiuxiu’s words left both of them dumbfounded.

Yang Xiaodong looked at his mother. “Mom, are you trying to drive me to death?”

“Aren’t you trying to freeze her to death?” Bai Xiuxiu countered.

Every time the old woman hesitated, Bai Xiuxiu’s words cut through her thoughts, saying exactly what was on her mind.

This time, the old woman finally spoke up herself: “Xiaodong, when you were little, I was afraid you’d go hungry, so I gave you the best. After you grew up, I helped you get a wife.

I thought I had done what I should. It was time for me to be taken care of.

But you…

This time, I can’t help you any longer.

Back then, your father and I could raise you kids, so why can’t you raise your own son?

I can take care of you, but how can I still take care of him?”

Don't blame anyone else; blame yourself.

Before she went inside, the old lady had hoped her son would talk to her reasonably and be willing to give her a small room, even if it meant living in the kitchen.

But they hadn’t even considered it.

She didn’t have any hope left.

Yang Xiaodong was completely thrown off by what she said, "Mom, I... that's not what we meant. We can rent a place for my granddaughter’s brother."

"You all should move out. I’ll go find your sister. If she’s willing, she can come back. If not, I’ll live on my own. Once I’m gone, you can split the house however you want. While I’m still here, don’t even think about this place." The old lady wiped her tears while crying.

Bai Xiuxiu didn’t expect the old lady to give up so quickly. It seemed like her youngest son’s words really got to her.

"Mom, my wife and I are happy to take care of you. Lately... I just..."

Yang Xiaodong wished he could kick himself. Why did he think the old lady would be scared of him?

He also blamed Bai Xiuxiu. If it weren’t for her, none of this would have happened.

He was in a hurry, but the old lady didn’t want to listen anymore. "Young girl, thank you for today. I... can you take me to my daughter's place?"

"Uncle Yang, Aunt Wang and I are heading the same way. I’ll take you." Wang Qiong spoke up first.

She had just finished her notes.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Bai Xiuxiu looked at Yang Xiaodong, whose face looked unhappy. "Uncle Yang, we’ll be leaving then. You guys should pack up quickly."
