Madam Yu flushed red in shame and embarrassment, she cursed her daddy for being too much of a big mouth before she sucked in a breath and ignoring the gazes of the other villagers who were looking at her with contempt, she gritted out, ” I am your only daughter now, so it was going to be mine either way, what’s wrong if I took it before your time, after all, it should have belonged to me anyway.”

Grandma Yu looked at her daughter and for the first time felt like she was actually looking at a stranger. This daughter of hers was the youngest and she pampered her quite a lot, even when she knew that her actions were selfish, she has gotten soft hearted thinking that it was her fault that her daughter turned out to be such a person, after all, she was the one who taught her.

But as her mother, she has never taught her how to go around and steal anyone’s property like that and as far as she knew, she has never even taught her how to be this cruel and selfish to anyone, if anything ever since her daughter was young she has taught her not to be greedy and corrupt but now as she looked at the woman in front of her who was looking anywhere but her, she couldn’t help but feel a sting on her face as if someone has slapped her awake to the reality that she has been ignoring all along for a long time.

Everyone thought that Grandma Yu would start cursing her daughter any second now but instead, she ended up laughing out loud as she crouched on the floor and patted her thigh, seeing her like this both Yu Tong and Yu Dong were shocked, was it because their grandmother received a shock.

” I see, I see…it is I who underestimated you,” Grandma Yu nodded her head as she sighed heavily before pushing Yu Dong’s hand aside as she smiled at her and said, ” I might look this old but I won’t be dying with just this much.” Yu Dong stared at Grandma Yu and sighed when she saw that she was indeed heartbroken but of course, there was nothing she could say to Grandma Yu after all this was something that she has to get over on her own.

Grandma Yu turned to look at her daughter and husband, she always knew that they were selfish and petty but she never thought that they were this ruthless. ” I should have known that a snake would never give birth to a swan, if I knew it I would have guarded my things a lot better than that.”

Immediately her words caused an uproar among the villagers, they all looked at Grandma Yu and then at the Yu family, all of them looked like they have eaten a fly, their expression was scrunched up and they seemed like they might as well be chewing on a bunch of lemons.

” Did you hear what old madam Yu said? She called Old man Yu a snake…oh, I should be calling him old man Tang now that he is divorcing his wife, right ?”

” Well, I can’t say that Grandma Yu is in the wrong here, after all, what kind of husband leaves his wife to die and this is my first time hearing a daughter taking property under her name without the consent of her mother, of course, grandma Yu will be furious like this.”

” Well, she is not wrong either…after all, she is the only daughter of grandma Yu.”

” What do you know, you are still young…. Separating a family and then getting the house under one’s name while their parents are still alive, is really unfilial.”

Madam Yu’s face was red with humiliation, she wished she could turn back time and stop her daddy from telling everyone that she has taken the house under her name and what was with her mother, the house should have been inherited by her anyway, why was she calling her a snake just because she took what was hers? If not for her mother who always kept on wondering whether she should leave a few rooms of the house to Yu Dong, she would not have had to take such an extreme step.

Yu Dong was already doing good, in fact, it was their family who was having a hard time now but her mother was still bent on leaving a few rooms to Yu Dong and her husbands, on what basis? If they were going to let her have a share of the house then they should also have the right to share the money that she was earning but were they allowed to have that? Of course not! Then why should they leave anything for Yu Dong?

She knew that the house was built with her sister’s money but Yu Dong no longer needed that house, she was already rich enough to afford three or four houses, on the other hand, she only had this one house left under her name, if she was to share this with Yu Dong, then what will she have?

Anyway, it was enough that they were minding their own business and not bothering Yu Dong but the thing was that her mother did not understand it, she was still wrapped up in her own ideals of justice, fairness and whatnot, like these principals, would bring her any money!

That was why she sneakily registered the house under her name, so what?
