Sister-in-law Zhao didn't try to keep them from leaving; she just watched them flee as if escaping.
Her heart grew colder, bit by bit.
Now the facts were laid bare before her, leaving her no room to avoid them.
Her family was selfish, running away at the mention of money.
"After all these years, haven't you realized what kind of people your family is? Does Eldest Fang treat you poorly? Have I, as your mother-in-law, been harsh to you?"
Sister-in-law Zhao shook her head, "Not at all."
She had consecutively given birth to three daughters, and her mother-in-law didn't beat or scold her, though her sisters-in-law made some idle comments, saying she wasn't fruitful, always giving birth to daughters since she married.
But her parents-in-law didn't mistreat her and didn't even suggest Xiao Mao's father divorce her.
"Live a good life, don't let your mind wander, and raise the children well."
