My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 69: 69 Family Wars, Who Has the Upper Hand?

Watching Ye Jiu’s expression, Mrs. He took the opportunity to instruct him, “Don’t think that just because the old thing obediently went to gather firewood, now he must be trembling down the road, gossiping about me in front of others.

I’ve lived through so many hard years, and now, should I let her ruin my reputation?

And your father, who can’t think straight, I’ve been in a good mood lately and haven’t tallied scores with them; now each of them is jumping over the moon.

If they are not taught a good lesson this time, who knows what kind of chaos will emerge later.

Be good, go and call your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law over, and learn by standing next to me. Watch how your mother handles them properly; once you get married, you will need these skills.”

In this family war, Mrs. He undoubtedly had the upper hand. Ye Jiu had watched countless TV dramas before, but he still couldn’t guess what Mrs. He would do next.

However, Mrs. He certainly instructed her to call Zhang Shi and Zhao Shi over, and Ye Jiu actually went.

Ye Jiu called out at the entrance of the main house, “Eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, mother can’t get up from the kang, come quickly!”

“Ah, we’re coming.” The voices of Zhang Shi and Zhao Shi came from their respective rooms.

Zhang Shi was sitting on the kang embroidering a handkerchief. Hearing that Mrs. He was unwell, she hurriedly got off the kang and put on her shoes. “Just now, when I heard your grandma scolding your aunt, she sounded quite energetic. How is it that in just a moment, she is lying on the kang?”

Over the years, Mrs. He had always been strong and healthy; even minor sicknesses were quickly cured with just two prescriptions. She had never been in a situation where she couldn’t get up from the kang.

But it was just a momentary lapse, and Zhang Shi understood.

The reason for this act may not be her poor health; perhaps she wanted to deal with someone again.

However, the next moment, Zhang Shi changed her mind because Ye Qinghua said, “Grandma might really have been angered today. Just now, my young aunt was eavesdropping under the window while grandpa and grandma were talking. I unknowingly followed her, and I overheard grandma talking about her hardships when she was young. Before, I just thought grandma was too harsh, but I never realized that she had suffered so much when she was young, and Mrs. Li took advantage of great-grandma to keep dad and second uncle from seeing her…”

Hearing Ye Qinghua’s words, Zhang Shi immediately felt uneasy.

The Ye Family’s issues were well known by her family when she first married into the family. The matters between Mrs. He and Mrs. Li were quite severe, and outsiders knew quite a bit too. However, at that time, the great-grandmother was still around, so Mrs. He and Mrs. Li maintained equivalent status in the household.

However, as later great-grandmother’s health worsened, and the subsequent quarrel over the steward matter escalated, great-grandmother ended up bedridden, Mrs. Li’s status declined step by step, eventually resulting in the current situation following great-grandmother’s departure.

Zhang Shi intuitively felt that although Mrs. He had successfully suppressed Mrs. Li today, this matter was not yet over, and the next few days in the household were likely not going to be easy.

Zhang Shi and Zhao Shi arrived at the main room together; regardless of what they thought internally, they both looked visibly anxious.

“Oh, where are you feeling unwell, mother? Should we quickly find a doctor to come check on you?” Zhao Shi said anxiously.

Mrs. He, lying on the kang, waved her hand, “See a doctor? Doesn’t seeing a doctor mean spending money? With the current situation at home, even having meals is difficult, where is the money to see a doctor?

It’s not easy for this big family to get by, and I am not selfish like some people, unable to afford meals but still wanting new clothes and new quilts, without thinking what right they have?
