Ultimately Compromised

"Look at you all, now that you're doing well! You're all a family, wanting to drive me away!" Old Mrs Niu cried, collapsing on the floor. Mi Hongwei knew she was just stalling and hoisted her up to carry her outside.

Old Mrs Niu finally realized he was serious, not something she could easily manipulate with her usual tricks. She cast a pleading glance at Fang Xuewei, hoping she would speak up for her. After all, Mi Hongwei had always defended his wife over the years. If Fang Xuewei just said a word, he would relent.

But Fang Xuewei couldn't wait for Old Mrs Niu to leave; she wanted to celebrate with firecrackers afterward. If Old Mrs Niu stayed, her incessant nagging would disrupt her daughters' studies. If they failed to get into college, Old Mrs Niu would blame it on her daughters' lack of ability rather than her own interference.
