I replied coldly, “Do you want to support them? So, why haven't I seen you washing clothes, cooking meals, or caring for the children at their home?”
Ivy's mother immediately became anxious and shouted, “What? Do you need others to watch your grandson while you care for him?”
“In-laws, is that how you show affection to your grandson?”
Frank's second uncle stepped over, pulled me aside and sighed helplessly. “Sister-in-law, you really did handle this poorly.”
"Frank had kindly brought you to stay with him in your old age. But you beat him and refused to do anything. How could you act like this?”
My anger flared. “Did he say why I hit him?”
Frank's uncle replied, “Yes, he did. Wasn't it just about the air conditioner?”
“Actually, it's your fault. How can you turn on the air conditioner in autumn? You're being too wasteful. I, myself, have never turned on the air conditioner in autumn all my life.”
“No wonder the young couple had issues. Aren't you just looking for trouble and wasting electricity?”
I suppressed my anger. “They live in the north. Do you think it's the same as in the south?”
