Before they got married, her husband and mother-in-law were very frugal, so how did they change so much after the marriage?
Li Shiping was full of regret. When her mother-in-law used to ask for money, she shouldn’t have been so generous, giving a lot each time and spoiling her mother-in-law into her current state.
After waiting a while, seeing that Li Shiping did not agree to give the money, Pan Huiyun became unhappy, "What’s wrong? You don’t want to give the money?"
After thinking it over, Li Shiping said, "Mom, I don’t have that much money on hand. Let’s do this! I’ll give you a hundred first, and you can lend it to Uncle."
Her family had agreed to lend money to someone; it wouldn’t be good not to follow through.
Her husband had also given quite a bit of money to his mother in the past, and they were farming their own land, so the two of them shouldn’t be short of money now. That’s why Li Shiping didn’t plan to give too much at the moment. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩
There were three in their family, and they also needed money to spend.
As soon as Pan Huiyun heard this, her face immediately darkened, "Daughter-in-law, what do you mean by that? My son wants to honor his parents, and even that’s not allowed? We, the old couple, worked hard to raise a son for you to marry, and this is how you repay us?"
As she spoke, Pan Huiyun’s eyes reddened, and she began to sob softly, continuously complaining that she had raised her son in vain.
Seeing her cry, Wan Dongcheng was so distressed that he scolded Li Shiping, "Just give the money to Mom when she asks; why all the fuss?"
"Dongcheng, don’t you know our family’s situation?" Li Shiping’s eyes also reddened with grievances.
Wan Dongcheng, upon hearing Li Shiping’s response, thought she really didn’t have that much money on hand, and his anger immediately subsided by half. He was annoyed by Pan Huiyun’s crying.
But since his mother only came by occasionally, he didn’t feel it was right to say anything else.
Pan Huiyun was shrewd, seeing the expressions of the two, she instantly understood most of the situation. After crying a bit, she wiped away her tears and questioned Li Shiping, "Your family is so wealthy. You must have brought a large dowry when you got married, right? How come it’s all gone so soon?"
Before Li Shiping could speak, she continued, "Shiping, it’s not that I want to criticize you, but now that you’re married into the Wan Family, you’re one of us. You can’t keep moving money to your parents’ house. Your family has money, and you should think about bringing your family’s money into your own little household."
"Mom, what are you saying?" Li Shiping gasped, feeling a tightness in her chest from anger. She had never met anyone so unreasonable. How could such words be said?
"It’s not pleasant to hear, but it’s the truth," Pan Huiyun spoke vehemently. "Your parents are definitely planning to leave their money to your brother. If you don’t fight for it, you won’t get anything."
Wan Dongcheng, hearing this, showed no intention to stop Pan Huiyun from going on. He always acted in front of Li Shiping as if he didn’t care for the money given by the Li Family, yet in his heart, he hoped Li Shiping could bring more money home. Since his wife didn’t understand, now that someone else was speaking for him, it suited him just fine.
Li Shiping was so angry that she was at a loss for words, but Pan Huiyun kept talking nonstop.
"Don’t think just because your parents occasionally give you something, it means they are good to you. You should get them to put money into a factory or open a shop for Dongcheng. That way, you won’t have to worry about food and clothes in the future, and you can focus on having several healthy boys sooner. What’s the use of having daughters? They’re just a loss."
"Mom, how can you say such things?"
Li Shiping was truly infuriated, raising her voice, "You are Dongcheng’s mother, and I respect you. Please respect my family as well. It’s my parents’ right to give their things to whoever they want, and no one has the right to say anything."
She could tolerate her mother-in-law criticizing her, but she couldn’t bear her mother-in-law speaking ill of her family.
