Embarrassed by her mother-in-law's words, Fang Juxian's eyes darted away. "Don't make it sound like we're completely useless. For years, Eldest Brother was busy with high school in the city, and then he was always leaving early and coming home late from his job. He was hardly ever around to look after the family.
The ones who were by your side day and night, taking care of you, were the second and third sons. But in the end, they're worse off than the eldest. That's a fact, isn't it?"
"Your father-in-law and I can still work and support ourselves. We're not so old that we can't move. So you tell me, in what ways have the second and third sons taken care of us all these years?"
Wen Xiu was at a loss for words. 'What am I supposed to say to my second daughter-in-law? Call her stupid? She has a comeback for everything. But call her smart? Nothing she says can stand up to scrutiny…'
