After letting Wu Xiaowen take a drink of water, wipe her tears, and catch her breath, Tang Qingshan said, "Wu Xiaowen, we need to talk. But first, you're going to apologize for bad-mouthing my Manman behind her back. Even as her aunt and an elder, it is wrong to speak ill of others. You must apologize!"
As the saying goes, when you have too many lice, you stop itching. Having made such a scene, Wu Xiaowen felt she had nothing left to lose. With red-rimmed eyes, she shot Tang Qingshan a venomous glare.
"Who's her aunt? I'm Tang Manman's mother! I carried her for nine months and gave birth to her. She's disrespectful and unfilial, and I'm not allowed to say a few words about it? What in the world do I have to apologize for? If anything, she should be apologizing to me!"
Tang Qingshan: "..."
'So, Wu Xiaowen hasn't just gone into full-on shrew mode,' he thought. 'She's even learning on the fly, picking up some of Grandma Tang's fierce arrogance. I need a moment to process this.'
