If mom and dad knew that my husband’s family were , that they said such things behind their backs, how angry would they be? Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✦𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
If she hadn’t heard it with her own ears, she never would have imagined that there were people in the world with such thick skin.
Li Shiping always spoke softly, even when she was angry, she never raised her voice. This only emboldened Pan Huiyun, who was caught off guard by Li Shiping’s loud shouting for the first time.
Even Wan Dongcheng was stunned.
After a while, once Pan Huiyun had recovered from the shock, she became indignant. She slid off the sofa, sat down on the floor, and started wailing.
"I don’t want to live anymore, what sins have I committed? I carried my son for ten months, raised him with such difficulty, and before I could enjoy any blessings, his wife starts yelling at me. I’m not old yet. What will happen to me when I’m eighty? Will I be shoved into a ditch?"
"I can’t live ! I can’t live ..."
Pan Huiyun cried a river of tears and snot, looking utterly heartbroken.
Listening to his mother’s words, Wan Dongcheng felt terrible sorrow, and combined with Li Shiping’s actions today, which made him very angry, he could no longer restrain his temper and began to shout loudly at her.
"Li Shiping, have I been indulgent with you, is that it? Now you even dare to yell at my mom? Your dad is a professor, how did he educate you? Apologize to my mom now."
Li Shiping was startled by Wan Dongcheng’s outburst; it was the first time she had seen him so furious. Feeling that she was indeed in the wrong for shouting at her mother-in-law, she said tearfully.
"Mom, I’m sorry, I was wrong just now, I shouldn’t have yelled at you. Sorry, I just couldn’t control my temper for a moment."
"I don’t want to live anymore, I don’t want to live anymore..."
Pan Huiyun kept crying, squeezing out tears continuously, repeating the same phrase and ignoring her.
Seeing this, Wan Dongcheng yelled at Li Shiping: "Kneel down to mom."
Li Shiping couldn’t believe what she was hearing from Wan Dongcheng; what era was it that a husband was asking his wife to kneel to his mother? She was not foolish. She knew that if she kneeled this time, it would become a regular occurrence.
She wiped her tears, "You coax mom. I need to get some air."
After finishing her words, Li Shiping went to their room to get the child, but Wan Dongcheng quickly blocked the door, "If you need to go out, then go, but why wake the child when she’s sleeping?"
Li Shiping’s tears kept falling; she felt suffocated by the atmosphere in the house and could no longer control her emotions. She covered her face and ran out.
"Son, she wouldn’t run back to her parents’ place to complain, would she?" Pan Huiyun stopped crying, wiped her tears, stood up, and said. Both her in-laws, at a glance, were not as easy to bully as Li Shiping, not to mention they were wealthy, so Pan Huiyun was somewhat apprehensive.
"No." Wan Dongcheng closed the door and sat back on the sofa with an indifferent look. "She never goes back to her parents’ place to complain. She’ll come back after a while."
The couple had fought many times before, and it was mostly him losing his temper, with Li Shiping rarely talking back.
This was an exception.
"If not, that’s good." Pan Huiyun breathed a sigh of relief and said scornfully, "Don’t coddle her. You can’t spoil a woman too much. If it comes to it, a beating will set her straight. Your good temper is the reason she acts up. In our village, a daughter-in-law like her would have been beaten several times already."
Thin as a bamboo pole, obviously unhealthy, unable to bear a son or do farm work—if it weren’t for her respectable background, no one would want a woman like that.
