Mrs. Qin sneered.
"Even the fingers on one’s hand are different lengths. Isn’t it perfectly normal to have favorites? I do favor my younger son, so what? At least he doesn’t cause me so much grief."
"And another thing, can’t you do something about that jealous streak of yours? This is all because you’re envious of Mingxue’s house, isn’t it? She has her own money to buy herself a new place; is that any reason for you to be so consumed by jealousy?"
"Never mind that she really did pay for the house herself. Even if I had been the one to give her the money, it’s my money to give to whomever I please. What gives you the right to covet it and be jealous all the time?"
"Gao Lan, let me tell you one more time—the Qin family’s money, not just now, but even after my husband and I are dead, will never go to you and your husband. You won’t get a single cent from us, so stop coveting it day in and day out."
With that, she slammed the main door shut.
Gao Lan was so furious, she burst into tears.
She had never met such a blatantly biased mother-in-law.
Staring at the tightly closed door, she desperately wanted to cause a huge scene right then and there.
But in the end, her sense of reason held her back.
Staying any longer would only bring more humiliation.
Gao Lan went home in tears.
Mrs. Qin was fuming.
When she returned to the living room, Old Mrs. Qin saw how furious she was and couldn’t help but sigh.
Then she said, "Why don’t we just give her a house and be done with it—"
That would save them from her constant accusations of favoritism.
At the end of the day, all they wanted was for their eldest grandson to lead a peaceful life.
The couple argued constantly, and it felt like their fighting was about to tear the family apart.
Mrs. Qin, of course, would not agree.
