Li Shiping pursed her lips and nodded, "Made you witness a farce."
After Wan Dongcheng beat her, her mind suddenly became clear.
Her family was well-off, and she brought a dowry of an apartment when they got married. She married beneath her to Wan Dongcheng. It was clearly Wan Dongcheng who married up into her family, but in the end, it seemed as if she was the one who had married into a wealthy household.
It was also because she didn’t stand up for herself that Pan Huiyun became so overbearing and bullied her.
"Sister Shiping, actually, as long as you’re unwilling, no one can bully you," Shen Mianmian gently reminded her. Li Shiping was too gentle and quiet by nature. With a good husband, her life would naturally be smooth, but facing a family like Wan Dongcheng’s, she could only be bullied. Googlᴇ search 𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎𝚕·𝚏𝚒𝚛𝚎·𝚗𝚎𝚝
"I was too naive before," Li Shiping said with a bitter smile, looking at the clothes on the bed washed to the point of whitening and suddenly not wanting to tidy up anymore. Before she got married, when had she ever worn such clothes?
After marriage, whenever there were new clothes, Pan Huiyun would take them. In the wardrobe, her clothes were tattered and worn, and most of the children’s clothes were purchased by her natal family. Looking at her husband’s clothes, they were all brand new, and he would give away even the slightly imperfect ones to people back in the village.
After getting married, her life got worse day by day, while her husband’s life was on the rise.
"I won’t tidy up anymore," Li Shiping said, tossing her clothes aside, casually packed a few of the children’s clothes into a bag, and said, "Mianmian, let’s go!"
As the door opened, Pan Huiyun thought Li Shiping was coming out to cook. Her face darkened, and with an air of superiority, she scolded, "Can’t you see what time it is? How many times do I have to call you to cook, always running out of the house, just knowing to wander around, is my son’s earnings enough for you to splurge ?"
"I haven’t spent a penny of your son’s money. When he comes back, ask him how much he has spent of the Li Family’s money," Li Shiping finally couldn’t hold back and coldly retorted at Pan Huiyun.
Pan Huiyun did not expect Li Shiping, who always submitted to adversity, to talk back to her for once. Her son was her pride, the only college student for miles around in the neighboring villages. Ever since her son went to college, the villagers had looked at them differently. Li Shiping’s words were clearly an attempt to slander her son, implying that he was useless.
Although it was true, how could Pan Huiyun admit that her family had really married above their station? If these words got out, wouldn’t others laugh at her son for being useless, living off a woman? Thinking this, Pan Huiyun became even more irate, "Li Shiping, what are you saying? My son is a college graduate, marrying you was your good fortune. If it weren’t for your decent looks, you wouldn’t even be worthy to step through our door. Let me tell you the truth, initially, I didn’t agree to let you into the family. It was only because my son spoke well of you to me that I reluctantly agreed."
Li Shiping didn’t expect Pan Huiyun had looked down on her as a daughter-in-law from the beginning. She was so angry, she couldn’t speak. Seeing this, Shen Mianmian immediately retorted for her.
"What’s so great about your son being a college graduate? Sister Shiping is also a college graduate. If your son really had any integrity, he wouldn’t live in the Li Family’s house and act high and mighty. It’s been two to three years since the wedding, he doesn’t work, and still gives you money. Where do you think this money comes from? Don’t you know in your heart?"
"Where did this brat come from?" Pan Huiyun, rendered speechless by Shen Mianmian, glared at her fiercely.
"I can’t stand by and watch when I see injustice, can’t stand to see your whole bizarre family bullying someone," Shen Mianmian glared back at Pan Huiyun, pulling Li Shiping to leave, "Sister Shiping, let’s go, don’t bother with her."
This family, if Pan Huiyun wanted to stay, then let her stay a while longer, as it wouldn’t last long anyway.
