As the anniversary of Grandpa's death approached, the atmosphere at home became more and more delicate.

Even the cat raised by Grandma knew something was wrong and tried to stay in its cage as much as possible.

I watched as Second Uncle tried to bail out Second Aunt, making endless phone calls every day, feeling even more uncertain.

Finally, on the day of Grandpa's anniversary, Second Uncle managed to gather enough money to bring Second Aunt back.

She prepared a table full of dishes, and joining the meal were Grandpa's family, who hadn't been seen for many years.

"Mom, sister-in-law, I was wrong, punish me!"

Second Aunt knelt in front of Grandma with a thud, even raising her hand to slap herself in the face.

"I'm a scoundrel, I'm not human!

"As long as you can calm down, forgive me, I'll do anything!"

It sounded like a heavy slap, but even I could understand that Second Aunt's slap was not really for Grandma, she just wanted Grandma to accept her as before so she could inherit the family's wealth.

Second Aunt also chimed in.

"A good child knows how to correct their mistakes. It's just a little cockroach spray, not like I was trying to kill someone. Why are you holding onto this so tightly?"

Grandma didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Oh, then let her divorce my son."

Upon hearing this, Second Aunt jumped up from the ground.

She stepped forward to Grandma and questioned, "Are you out of your mind? I am Wei Wei's mother, how dare you try to drive me away?"

Second Grandma was also shocked, "His wife, Xiao Ying, gave birth to a boy for our family. Aren't you afraid of ancestral blame for doing this?"

Grandma bluntly retorted:

"She said she would do anything.

"I can't let someone who wants to harm me live in this house. What does this have to do with giving birth to a boy?

"If it's about giving birth, an old sow can have ten piglets in one litter. Should I also bow down to the old sow as an ancestor?"

With one sentence, she scolded two people, leaving Second Aunt and Second Grandma itching with anger.

But it's not surprising that Grandma spoke harshly, considering they both entered the Xu family's door by getting pregnant before marriage and having sons.

After dreaming for so many years, it was time for someone to wake them up.

Unable to gain any advantage, Second Aunt seemed to understand something and immediately turned her anger towards me.

"Mom, did this little troublemaker and her family say something to you?

"At her age, she's in the habit of lying, you can't listen to her."

Second Uncle quickly agreed.

I understood that they thought I was tattling to Grandma, which is why she reacted this way. But Grandma didn't trust me before, they should reflect on their own issues a bit.

Just as I was about to speak, Grandma chuckled and spoke.

"Do I need to say more? Your ambitions are written all over your faces, aren't they?

"You're just waiting for me to die so you can take over! I'll tell you the truth, with all your actions, not just you, your whole family and these outsiders who aid and abet will all be kicked out!"

This statement insulted everyone in Second Uncle's group.

Second Grandpa, who had been silent all along, spoke with a dark expression:

"His wife, don't push your luck.

"When Big Brother was alive, he was in charge. After he passed, the Xu family is under my command!

"If you persist in your wrongdoings, I'll immediately strike your name from the family tree, and your ashes will never enter the Xu family's burial ground!"
