Chapter 213 Women Shouldn't Be Spoiled Too Much (1/2)

“Sister-in-law, I’m not trying to criticize you, but how can you just ignore it? If you don’t, won’t she just go too far? You and your brother should just enjoy being great-grandparents. Leave the rest to me. My son’s wife was ungrateful at first, but I managed to train her to be completely obedient.” Gu Hong said with a smug look on her face.

The daughter-in-law she described as being completely obedient was none other than Xiaoya's mother.

Xiaoya felt embarrassed upon hearing this. After all, who wants to hear someone belittle their mother like that?

However, although Xiaoya felt a little uncomfortable, she knew that now was not the time to lash out.

After all, this was someone else's home, and she still needed to rely on her grandmother's influence to ask the Gu family for a job. So, despite her dissatisfaction, Xiaoya swallowed her anger for the time being.

However, Xiaoya did not agree with her grandmother's suppression of her mother.

She thought to herself, "How can my mother be so ungrateful? She's only doing this for the good of the family!" Moreover, Xiaoya felt that her grandmother's words about her mother were really excessive.

Just then, Gu Hong, seemingly unaware of Xiao Ya's emotional change, continued, "My daughter-in-law, at first she was even more..." outrageous than Lin Han, but later she became obedient and respectful to me. She wouldn't dare to say a second thing if I said one.

Sister-in-law, let me tell you, you can't be soft-hearted with daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law. After all, they're not related to you by blood, so it's hard for them to be of one mind. Only by keeping them firmly under our control can we gain the upper hand.

Grandma Jiang disagreed.

"You yourself have two daughters, how can you say such a thing?"

Haven't you ever considered that while you're making things difficult for other people's daughters, your own daughter might also be suffering in someone else's home?

Gu Hong didn't take it seriously and was still smug about her theory.

"What's there to feel aggrieved about? They'll all get married eventually, and once they're married, they'll belong to someone else's family."

I don't care whether they live or die; whether they're doing well or not is up to fate.

Not only Mrs. Jiang, but even Mr. Gu couldn't stand these words.

"You're a grandmother now, so watch your words."

What do you say in front of your granddaughter?

You just said you wanted to help, but all the formula-making supplies are upstairs. What are you doing in the kitchen? Let me see the formula can.

Grandpa Gu was still worried about Gu Hong, fearing she might add something to the formula, so he took the formula can and started checking it.

It contained white powder, but he felt something was off; he couldn't smell the milk powder aroma.

He also made formula for the baby, and it smelled so rich and creamy.

Grandpa Gu held the milk powder can up to Grandma Jiang.

"Smell it."

Grandma Jiang didn't need to smell it; she could tell at a glance that the jar clearly contained flour.

"Gu Hong, you poured out the baby's formula and put flour in the can? Is this what you call helping out?"

Can this be given to a baby?

Gu Hong explained.

"Flour is a food, it's harmless. When we were having babies, we even loved the flour paste, it helped us grow."

The milk powder in that can was processed in a factory. Who knows what they added to it?

I feel more at ease eating whole grains.
