Society is such a reality. After the Jiangs became in-laws, people's attitude towards him changed immediately when he attended events. Not only was he seated several tables forward, like in the middle, but he was sometimes even given seats B or D for group photos. This was something Zhao's father had struggled to achieve for years. Everyone knew that marrying into the Jiangs was definitely marrying up, but the Zhaos had a remarkable daughter whom Young Master Jiang adored. Who told you not to have a capable daughter?

The topic returned to the Zhao family's quarrel. Seeing Xingxing about to speak, Li Sanmei quickly strode over, reached out and grabbed Xingxing, interrupting her, and kept saying to her, "Daughter-in-law, you misunderstood, you misunderstood." While speaking, she also made soothing gestures, perhaps afraid that Xingxing would continue to talk about her husband and daughter-in-law.

Xingxing looked at Li Sanmei, the poor and pathetic mother-in-law, and felt a surge of disapproval.

Even without investigation, Xingxing could conclude that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were likely engaged as children or married blindly. Despite having three children and six children, they remained lifelong devoid of affection. This kind of thing was common in that era, a memory unique to that era. But now, her eldest sister-in-law was the instigator of this matter. She was furious because it involved her; otherwise, who would have nothing better to do than to care about her father-in-law's infidelity?

Seeing her mother-in-law's anxious, pleading eyes, Xingxing softened. She nodded to her mother-in-law and fell silent. This outburst shocked everyone in the hall. The third and fourth daughters-in-law, Yiqianjiu, felt that their father-in-law favored the eldest sister-in-law, and that the solution was the eldest son's wife. They were both from the countryside, and their parents had told them to endure many things when they came to Shanghai. Plus, they had been married for many years, so they didn't think much of it.

Now think about it, what's the point of giving priority to the eldest daughter-in-law? They give priority to the eldest daughter-in-law. It's really disgusting. The fourth daughter-in-law wants to go back to her parents' home. Although my family works in the production team every day, at least there is no such disgusting thing.

The husband returned to the city with his two sisters-in-law and their children. He found them good jobs in formal institutions, but the two daughters-in-law had been unemployed for years. The Zhao family had been labeled capitalists and targeted during the movement. The third and fourth sons had successfully avoided the movement by going to the countryside. If it weren't for the kindness of their daughters-in-law's families, these capitalist sons wouldn't have been able to live so peacefully until now.

Ever since they'd learned about the second-floor father-in-law and eldest sister-in-law, and after seeing Xingxing single-handedly battle the eldest sister-in-law and father-in-law, the third and fourth daughters-in-law had their own plans. The family was now a hollow shell, all the money gone to the eldest sister-in-law. The third and fourth daughters-in-law had once believed the Zhao family was so wealthy, as if they'd been boasted about by the eldest and second sisters-in-law.

After the movement, aside from the return of the house, there wouldn't be much left. The business that the sister-in-law keeps talking about is nothing more than using the Jiang family's money and status to run a business. She's acting as if no one understands. Xingxing was right not to agree. If it were them, they certainly wouldn't want to let their parents wade into this muddy water.

Li Sanmei brought Xingxing breakfast, white porridge with a few side dishes, all of which were pregnant women's favorites, and looked very delicious. Under the fiery gaze of her sister-in-law, Xingxing took the tray and sat in a chair, eating happily.
