For Shen Mingzhu and Du Juan's squabble, Jia Yuemei reveled in their misfortune more than anyone else.
Over the years, the kindness Shen Mingzhu had shown to Shen Chaobei and his wife, Du Juan, nearly made her eyes turn green with envy; she was eager for discord between the two households, hoping that once Shen Mingzhu and her brother's relationship soured, the benefits would fall into their (Jia Yuemei's) second branch of the family.
With such wishful thinking, she couldn't wait to stir up trouble in front of Shen Mingzhu.
When she saw Shen Mingzhu saw through her intentions, although embarrassed, she was unwilling to give up halfway.
"Butting into others' business is nosy, but when it comes to our own family, I can't help but speak up. To tell you the truth, I really feel for you, little sister. You've been so good to your sister-in-law, wholeheartedly supportive. If it weren't for you, she'd still be digging sweet potatoes back in the countryside!"
