Chapter 844 - 745: Mei Family Rules (Part 3)

So, having a child really makes a difference, knowing how to take care of people.

This made Mr. Mei feel very comforted. Although his grandson had suffered a bit these past few days, he had grown a lot.

Of course, Han Yi knew what Mei Langchi was up to. When it comes to pampering wives, he considered himself better than Mei Langchi.

But if he wanted to learn, just let him learn.

After dinner, Mr. Mei, Mei Shuping, didn’t go out either. He stayed in the living room with the two children, playing.

Just as Lin Wan was about to go upstairs, the next moment, she heard Xie Lingzhi saying to Ye Qing, "As a daughter-in-law of our Mei Family, you should know how to take care of the elders without me having to tell you. Ye Qing, go clean up the table, wash the dishes, and then heat the water. Your grandparents still need to bathe."

"Mom, how can you make Ah Qing do these things? She is your own daughter-in-law. Our Mei Family doesn’t just have Ah Qing as the younger generation, isn’t there another one? How can you let Ah Qing do everything alone?" Before Ye Qing could open her mouth, Mei Langchi immediately retorted.

"..." Xie Lingzhi was at a loss for words, blocked by her son, opened her mouth, and turned to Lin Wan, "You just finished eating, and now you’re running upstairs. You’re being lazier than anyone. Today, you’ll wash the dishes and tidy up. Don’t forget to boil the water."

"Aunt Xie, I’m not feeling well," Lin Wan used a poor excuse to refuse.

"Just now, you were enjoying your meal the most, and now you’re not feeling well. That’s a poor excuse. Hurry up. Once you’re part of the Mei Family, you can’t disobey the elders."

"The Mei Family doesn’t just have my wife alone. The legitimate daughter-in-law refuses to work, and now you’re abusing the one who isn’t her by birth. What excellent family values the Mei Family has," Han Yi blocked Lin Wan, coldly replying to Xie Lingzhi without any courtesy.

"It’s hard for the whole family to be together; it should be harmonious, not quarrelsome. The two granddaughters-in-law are new here and need to get familiar with the household chores. Today, both of you should work together. Xiao Wan will clean the table, and Ah Qing will wash and then boil the water," Old Mrs. Mei said as she played with Little Star, looking back at them, not allowing them to refuse.

These two granddaughters-in-law, she didn’t like either of them. Lin Wan’s family background was fine, but she didn’t like Han Yi, the illegitimate child, so naturally, she didn’t like Lin Wan either. As for Ye Qing, there was no need to mention her. Just because a grandson speaks up for her, doesn’t mean her past actions are nullified.

That woman must have put green hats on her grandson multiple times. Her grandson was foolish too, remaining entangled with her despite everything.

She had watched her grandson grow up, and she understood his thoughts clearly. She knew what he was up to—it was all about competing with Han Yi.

But Xiao Chi was foolish too; why compete with an illegitimate child? Didn’t he realize that she, as the grandmother, had always been on his side? With her here, Han Yi would get nothing from the Mei Family.

"If you’re tired, go upstairs. I’ll handle things here," Han Yi spoke to Lin Wan, ignoring Old Mrs. Mei’s unfriendly look.

"I’m not tired; I’ll stay with you." There was another person tidying up, and it was that woman who had an eye on her man. She trusted Han Yi, but she didn’t trust Ye Qing, so she had to keep an eye on her.

Han Yi understood Lin Wan’s little thoughts, smiled lightly, and followed her with a smile.

However, when Mei Shuping saw Han Yi tidying up the table, he furrowed his brows and said loudly, "Xiao Yi, our Mei Family doesn’t need men to do these things. Let the women handle it."

Han Yi turned his head to look at him, and in a calm tone, he said, "My mom taught me from a young age that a man must have responsibility, must have a sense of responsibility, and must know how to care for his wife. It’s quite normal for me to care for my wife and help with some chores. A man who doesn’t know how to care for his own wife, what kind of man is he?"

"You..." Han Yi’s words directly made Mei Shuping’s face turn liver-colored with anger.

Han Yi completely ignored him and directly helped Lin Wan tidy up the dishes.

Originally, Lin Wan was also going to carry the plates, but Han Yi wouldn’t let her, so she could only follow behind, holding some light chopsticks.

Little Star, sitting on the couch, saw this, ran over, and said, "Dad, let Xingxing help you."

"Mm, so good," Han Yi patted her head and gave her an empty plate without soup to put in the kitchen.

On the other side, Ye Qing watched the family of three happily together, gritting her teeth in hatred.

However, seeing Han Yi enter the kitchen, Ye Qing also wanted to get closer to him, so she quickly lowered her head and walked into the kitchen.
