Chapter 104: Home has changed in 104

Ye Gaoshui was quite emaciated, so thin that even the bones on her cheeks jutted out, which made Ye Gaoshui feel a twinge of heartache and confusion.

After all, in those earliest years he could remember, it had been Ye Gaoshui who had taken care of him, so he could not possibly have no feelings for her.

Usually, it was only because Mrs. He was there to suppress her, and also because Ye Gaoshui was not his biological mother, that even if he wanted to support Ye Gaoshui, he had no way to do so.

Ye Gaoshui looked at Ye Gaoshui with a gentle expression, a stark contrast to Mrs. He’s assertiveness, and her words were always considerate of him, “Second son, when you and your elder brother go out, you are away from home for a long time. It’s not easy for your wife either, so make sure you talk nicely to her at your father-in-law’s house, and coax her more. Make sure not to quarrel and damage the affection between you and your wife.”

Having lived with the Zhao Family for so many years, he had some understanding of what kind of person Mrs. Zhao was, so when Mrs. He said those nonsensical words from Mrs. Zhao, Ye Gaoshui easily believed them.

However, now that he heard Ye Gaoshui speak, it seemed like there might be more to the story.

For a moment, it made Ye Gaoshui rather confused.

“Stepmother, I was not at home, and I do not know exactly what happened. Can you tell me, what exactly is going on between Mrs. Zhao and mother? And how could she have run back to her parents’ house?” Ye Gaoshui asked.

“I am not too clear about this matter myself, but just listen to me, when you get to your father-in-law’s house, talk properly to Mrs. Zhao, and make sure not to cause a scene. It’s truly not easy for her, taking care of the children at home,” Ye Gaoshui said vaguely, sighing, “Speaking of which, it’s not your wife’s fault; if anyone is to blame, it’s me and your grandmother.

Your sister-in-law was chosen according to your mother’s wishes, and usually, there wouldn’t be so many issues.

But since Mrs. Zhao was the one your grandmother and I had you marry, your mother, for that reason, initially set her mind to dislike Mrs. Zhao and now…”

Ye Gaoshui had originally blamed Mrs. Zhao for speaking such nonsense, but at this moment, he felt that perhaps these issues could not entirely be blamed on Mrs. Zhao, as he had seen over the years that his mother did not like Mrs. Zhao.

With a mind full of questions, Ye Gaoshui finally arrived at the Zhao Family’s home.

Mrs. Zhao was washing clothes at her parents’ house when she saw Ye Gaoshui coming. She was immediately overjoyed, “Father, did you come especially to pick me up? How is everything at home? Has mother calmed down?”

Ye Gaoshui had originally planned to give Mrs. Zhao a good scolding when he saw her, but now, having thought it over during the journey, his anger had cooled considerably from what it had been at the start.

“Mother, tell me honestly, did Mother say in front of you that your sister is being supported by your brother-in-law and sister-in-law? Is that really true?” Ye Gaoshui asked directly.

“I… I did say that,” Mrs. Zhao began hesitantly, but seeing Ye Gaoshui’s face darken, she quickly tried to explain, “Father, don’t be angry just yet, I had a reason for saying it.”

“Well, I want to know what that reason could possibly be that allowed you to say such outrageous things in front of Mother,” Ye Gaoshui said in a grim tone.

Mrs. Zhao stomped her foot, “Father, you have been out all winter earning money and don’t know what’s been going on at home. Ever since my sister got better, our house has changed!

Previously, when my sister was unwell, it was fine for Mother to pamper her and constantly make extra meals for her, but since she recovered, it has got to the point where Mother is nearly handing over everything to her.”

“What do you mean?” Ye Gaoshui, listening confusedly, did not quite understand.
