Chapter 1731: Mother's Brother is Supreme

After she finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

Zhou Yuhang felt ashamed; he wished there were a crack in the ground he could crawl into.

Su Qiangying suddenly realized—the generational hierarchy was all wrong!

Zhou Yuhang currently called her "Sister," but if she married Moli, would he have to follow Moli and call him "Little Uncle"?

Forget it, let it be; each will address the other according to their own relationship.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Qiangying continued on her own: "That mother of my boyfriend, I don't like her at all. Of course, she doesn't like me either. That woman is unreasonable and overbearing, too pushy. She hasn't bullied your mother much, has she?"

He said in a low voice: "No... I'm not too sure either. Whenever they came over, I stayed in my room and didn't come out."

"Staying inside is the right thing to do. If it were me, I wouldn't come out either. I just can't meet that woman; I get angry whenever I see her."

Big Sister's words made Zhou Yuhang's nervous mood improve a little.

But soon, Big Sister asked about the most awkward part: "Is your mom suing Jian Yixin because of the property?"

Zhou Yuhang:...

It wouldn't be appropriate to brush it off by saying "I don't know" anymore.

He knew everything his uncle and aunt had said to his mother over these past few days, including all the details of how they had instigated his mother to go to court.

His voice became even quieter: "Mm, yes."

"Yuhang, can you tell Big Sister what you are thinking?"

There was no expected reprimand or scolding, only a calm and peaceful inquiry, which made him feel even more relaxed.

"Actually, my mom shouldn't be filing this lawsuit; it's quite a shameful thing. But she says it's all for me... I actually don't care for the Jian Family's property. I will earn my own in the future, and I can support my mom too..."

"It's all my aunt's instigation. My mom is soft-hearted; she believes whatever others say."

Su Qiangying said: "I knew it. You are a child with a lot of backbone and wouldn't approve of this matter. You are a boy, and in the future, you will be a man who stands tall. You can't just watch others control the lives of you and your mother..."

The two chatted for the duration of a class period.

Zhou Yuhang made up his mind to make his mother change her mind.

After school, when he returned home, he immediately frowned.

The clean and tidy home was as messy as if it had been robbed. His aunt's two grandsons were jumping up and down on the sofa, and the living room was in a state of chaos.

His aunt and uncle were sitting on the sofa whispering something, his two cousins were smoking, filling the room with the smell of smoke, and in his mother's room, his two cousins-in-law were fighting over his mother's jewelry.

His mother didn't have much jewelry, but the two cousins-in-law were arguing until their faces were red, looking like they were about to start a fight!

"Where is my mom?"

"Oh, our great scholar is back? Your mom is in the kitchen cooking. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Seeing his bad expression, his aunt hurriedly stood up from the sofa and greeted him with a smile.

His uncle immediately told his grandsons to stop jumping and winked at his sons, signaling them to go manage their wives.

Wu Ying was soft-hearted and easy to talk to, but this nephew of hers was not so easy to fool.

Zhou Yuhang pushed open his bedroom door, and just as he wanted to put down his schoolbag, his brow furrowed even tighter, and he clenched his fists in anger.

When he left for school in the morning, his bed was made neatly, but now everything was in a mess.

The only things untouched were the books in the bookcase; they were still neatly arranged, exactly as they were.

But the figures in the cabinet were all gone; some were lying on the floor, some were thrown on the bed, and all of them had been taken apart.

Zhou Yuhang had no other hobbies; he didn't play video games, he just loved figures, which he usually treasured like precious items.

When his mother cleaned, she knew not to touch his figures; even if she moved them slightly while cleaning, he would be unhappy!

But now, his beloved figures were dismantled beyond recognition, and some were simply snapped in two, impossible to put back together.

He wanted to lose his temper, but in the end, he held it back.

He silently tidied up the room and put the figures into the drawer... the drawer had been rummaged through too!

The pocket money he kept in the drawer was gone, not a cent left.

Zhou Yuhang walked out of the room, locked the door, and went to the kitchen.

His mother was busy in the kitchen; seeing him enter, she asked lovingly: "Hungry, right? Dinner will be ready soon."

He turned off the stove, his face sullen with anger: "Don't cook. Let's go out to eat."

"Oh my, what are you doing, child?"

Wu Ying turned the stove back on and scolded him: "You really don't know the cost of living. How expensive it is for a whole family to eat out! It's more economical to cook yourself."

No sooner had she finished speaking than her nephew shouted from outside: "Aunt, is dinner ready? Everyone is hungry."

"Almost, almost, ready soon."

Zhou Yuhang angrily turned the stove off again and said to his mother: "Drive them all away. They eat and live for free in our house and treat you like a servant. Why?"

"It's only been a few years of good life; have you forgotten how they treated you before?"

"That won't happen. They are only here because of the lawsuit. Once the lawsuit is over, they will go back. They have their own home; they won't live in our house forever..."

His mother's self-deceiving attitude made him unable to endure it any longer.

He shouted at his mother: "Mom, you are confused! The Jian Family doesn't owe our family anything. If it weren't for the old gentleman, we two would have been bullied to death by them long ago."

"Now you are still going with them to sue the brother and sister; you have no conscience."

Wu Ying wiped away her tears: "I'm doing it all for you."

"You are thinking too simply. When I entered the room just now, I saw the cousins-in-law wearing your gold necklace around their own necks. My room was also turned into a mess, and even the pocket money I kept in the drawer was taken."

"They don't even let go of such small change. Can instigating you to extort the Jian Family be for my sake? I don't need you to scheme for me. After I go to college, I will work part-time, and I can apply for student loans for tuition."

"The two of us can't live in such a big house anyway. If we don't sell it, we can rent it out and rent a smaller one instead. If we didn't have to take care of their family, we would live very well. Why do something so heartless?"

Wu Ying hesitated again; she felt that what her son said made a lot of sense.

"Let me think..."

"Bang!" The kitchen door was kicked open heavily, and Wu Ying's sister-in-law cursed with a dark face: "You ungrateful little brat, we are your aunt and uncle, we are your family! You are siding with outsiders and speaking for the Jian Family in every sentence. How much benefit have they given you?"

Zhou Yuhang retorted, "Forget it, that sounds nice, but don't think others don't know what kind of schemes you're plotting. What 'for my sake'? My mother is soft-hearted; she believes whatever you use to fool her. I'm afraid the ill-gotten money won't even reach her hands before you take it away."

Having her hidden intentions exposed, the aunt was shamed into anger and rushed over to strike him, cursing as she hit, "You little brat, talking nonsense! A mother's brother is like a father, I must properly educate you on your mother's behalf..."
