Being in her forties, Wang Meili, dressed up by Wang Meiqi, indeed looked as if she were just over thirty. Looking at herself in the mirror, Wang Meili could hardly believe it.
"Sister Wang, is this really me?" she said dumbfoundedly.
"My silly sister." Wang Meiqi said, "These past forty years have been wasted. You havenât used any of this stuff; how did you even manage to have two children?"
Disdain, pure disdain.
"When my kidsâ father died, I was still in my prime," Wang Meili said, though feeling somewhat inferior inside when facing such a radiant Wang Meiqi.
Sheâs two years older than me, yet exudes vitality from head to toe and dresses glamorously every day.
Wang Meili thought she was right; sheâd wasted the past forty years.
"Isnât your son a junior leader in the army? How could you not have money?" Wang Meiqi said with disbelief, "Let me tell you, youâre just too soft. People need to be tough to avoid being bullied."
"If he doesnât give you money, why donât you make a fuss? Youâre still helping him look after the kid, for what? If it were me, I would have quit long ago." Wang Meiqi said softly, "What about a son taking care of you in old age? Nothing is more important than money."
"If you have money, they certainly wouldnât refuse to take care of you in old age. They would, even for the sake of the money."
"But I donât have any money," Wang Meili said weakly.
"If you donât have money, ask him for it. If your son doesnât give it to you, ask your daughter-in-law," Wang Meiqi said, glaring at her.
Wang Meili sighed, then began to pour out her sorrows to Wang Meiqi, complaining first about how her son was unfilial, forgot his mother after getting a wife, and then about her daughter-in-law being so terrible, not only being unfilial but also frequently sowing discord between her and Gu Haojun.
If Liu Juanhao were here, she would certainly cry out injustice.
With Wang Meiliâs penchant for causing trouble, does she even need provocation? Moreover, whoâs the one who defends her every time she makes Gu Haojun furious?
But Wang Meili doesnât remember these things; she only knows Gu Haojun doesnât give her money because Liu Juanhao told him to save it.
Otherwise, how could her son, so filial, commit such an ungrateful act?
Thinking about his future, he wouldnât treat her this way.
If she were to unexpectedly make a fuss at the army base, Gu Haojunâs good days would be over too.
But this would be a method that harms herself as much as the enemy and would also cut off her good life, so she canât use this method.
"Hmm, seems like your daughter-in-law is quite problematic," Wang Meiqi said, touching her chin, "Youâre not a match for her."
Wang Meiqi hadnât met Liu Juanhao but could tell from Wang Meiliâs words that this daughter-in-law isnât suitable, "Ah, if only she could be replaced by a more obedient one."
Wang Meiqi sighed.
Wang Meiliâs eyes lit up; an idea suddenly popped into her mind.
It flashed by.
But she still caught it.
"Let me introduce someone to you later," Wang Meiqi smiled at her expression, "Sheâs also named Wang, like us, an older sister, but really capable."
Just how capable?
Wang Meili will see for herself in a moment.
If I told her now, she probably wouldnât believe it.
