Mrs. An felt increasingly aggrieved as she spoke.
She secretly gave her daughter, Gu Hengniang, a look.
Gu Hengniang understood.
She imdiately stepped forward to support her.
"Third brother, look at how upset your wife has made mother! Second sister knows you usually pamper your wife, but there should be a limit to it! Mother is the one who gave birth to you and raised you, yet your wife is overbearing like this. Third brother, if you don’t give mother an explanation today, how can you face her?"
Gu Hengniang kept insisting that Su Yunjin was wrong and asked Gu Ya to stand up for her mother.
"Old Third, tell , is mother an outsider or not?"
Mrs. An asked Gu Ya, aggrieved.
"Third brother, mother worked hard to raise you, she’s definitely not an outsider. If we’re talking about outsiders, so people are truly the outsiders!" Gu Hengniang looked at Su Yunjin, implying sothing. It was clear she was saying Su Yunjin was the outsider in this family.
Gu Ya, certainly not dull, could clearly hear that his mother and second sister were working together against his young wife.
Gu Ya didn’t answer his mother directly but instead asked Mrs. An.
"Mother, today did you ntion before Yunjin about letting eldest brother and fourth brother move in?" Gu Ya looked at Mrs. An.
His gaze was intense.
Mrs. An strangely felt a pang of guilty conscience as Gu Ya looked at her.
When it ca to her sons, Mrs. An always felt that the third was not easy to control.
With the eldest and the others, Mrs. An could easily have her way.
"Oh, third brother, we’re talking about your wife’s disrespect towards mother, and you still haven’t reprimanded her yet! Is mother’s grievance to be suffered in vain?" Gu Hengniang, feeling indignant, seized the opportunity to have Su Yunjin reprimanded by her third brother.
To let Su Yunjin also suffer and realize the seriousness of the situation.
Gu Ya didn’t look at Gu Hengniang, and again asked his mother.
"Mother, is what Yunjin said true? Did you indeed ntion it to her?"
Despite feeling sowhat guilty, Mrs. An boldly spoke her mind.
"Old Third, I did say that. Mother noticed your and third sister-in-law’s house is spacious, and thought since you can’t fill it alone, why not let your eldest brother’s family and fourth brother move in together? You’re all brothers, surely you wouldn’t deny them the space to live together, would you? Old Third, you say... "
"Absurd—!" Before Mrs. An could finish, Gu Ya interrupted in a low voice.
Mrs. An was taken aback.
Seeing Gu Ya’s somber face, Mrs. An only felt her back grow chilly!
"Mother, this is Yunjin and my ho, did you ask for our consent before planning to let eldest brother’s family live here?"
Mrs. An was speechless.
Gu Ya continued: "Mother, you and Father can co to live in this house; however, for eldest brother and fourth brother, while we are siblings, there is no reason for eldest brother and sister-in-law, and even second sister and brother-in-law, to all take residence in Yunjin and my ho. I, Gu Ya, can support Father and Mother, but do I also need to support my brothers and sister-in-law?"
Mrs. An wanted to argue, but Gu Ya sternly glared at her.
"Mother, such absurd thinking should stop now. I don’t wish to hear you ntion this again in the future!"
Mrs. An, seeing Gu Ya was angry, beca aware that perhaps indeed calling eldest brother and the others to move to Old Third’s house was unsuitable.
Mrs. An proactively softened her stance, "Alright, Old Third, this matter was not properly thought out by mother, it was indeed mother’s mistake."
Gu Ya said nothing.
Mrs. An continued, "Old Third, letting your eldest brother’s family move in was not well thought out by mother, since you and third sister-in-law don’t agree, mother also won’t ntion it again."
