Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
Zhang Xiuli and Huang Jie Ling looked at each other. Zhang Xiuli was conflicted about whether to say it or not since Huang Jie Ling was right in front of her.
Huang Jie Ling took the initiative to speak out: "When I went out today, I had an argument with my mother-in-law about who should sit in the passenger seat. Xue Shao's girlfriend was there at the time. After we finished arguing, she looked unhappy and said she was not feeling well and would not come."
Originally, family disgrace should not be made public, but Huang Jie Ling really couldn't help but speak out. Moreover, according to her mother-in-law, Su Tiantian was not an outsider. It was her mother-in-law who always wanted to get involved with Liu Zhaosheng. Then Su Tiantian was Liu Zhaosheng's daughter-in-law, so she was not an outsider either.
Su Tiantian comforted Huang Jie Ling: "It's difficult for you too. Do you even have to fight for the driver's seat? Although I've only met Mrs. Feng twice, I find her a bit difficult to get along with sometimes. Maybe there's a generation gap."
Huang Jie Ling said coldly, "She doesn't like it that I don't do housework, but I have a nanny at home. My son is close to my mother, and she doesn't like it, but my mother has raised him since he was a child, so they are closer to whoever takes care of him the most. Feng Xueshao's work is not going well, and she blames my family for not helping. She also wanted to move in with me, but I didn't agree, so she got angry."
Su Tiantian ate another small tomato and said, "Sorry, I just like eating it recently. I was wondering, when you said you were arguing with your mother-in-law, Xue Shao's girlfriend was there. Wouldn't she be scared?"
Zhang Xiuli said: "When I was pregnant, I also liked to eat cherry tomatoes. They were sour and sweet."
Huang Jie Ling shrugged: "I don't know if Xue Shao's girlfriend was frightened. I'm not familiar with her. Anyway, she refused to come to see my uncle. Xue Shao tried to persuade her and coax her, but she didn't listen. I had no choice but to send her back."
Zhang Xiuli said: "Yes, the woman said she felt very uncomfortable and wanted to go home immediately. Jiekang and I were there at the time."
Su Tiantian said, "We can't interfere too much with other people's girlfriends' affairs, we can just gossip a little, but I guess Xue Shao's girlfriend comes from a pretty good family, right?"
Huang Jie Ling said as if reciting a book, "My son needs a girlfriend who can cook and clean. She's an only child, and she needs a house and a car as a dowry. My parents-in-law need to have a pension to help raise the child. My daughter-in-law can't just do nothing and rely on my son, let alone support the family alone. My daughter-in-law must have a stable job. Isn't this too much to ask? Not at all?"
Zhang Xiuli added, "These are Mrs. Feng's requirements for her daughter-in-law. She said every word, and A Ling knows it by heart. Mrs. Feng asked me to help introduce her. Who do you think I can recommend?"
Su Tiantian couldn't help but raise her hand and said, "Can I complain a little? I think these conditions are quite harsh. And you say they're not excessive? And you say they're not excessive at all? They're extremely excessive, okay?"
Huang Jie Ling's tone was sour: "According to her requirements, I am an unqualified daughter-in-law in her eyes. Am I such a bad person? Back then, I don't know how many people wanted me to be his girlfriend."
Zhang Xiuli said, "None of us three can meet her requirements. First, we are not only children. Second, we can give a house and a car as a dowry, but they must be in our own names. Third, whether our parents help take care of the child is a matter of affection. If they must, who will agree?"
Su Tiantian stood up, touched her belly, and walked slowly around the room: "I have to walk around if I sit for a long time. Does Xue Shao's current girlfriend meet Mrs. Feng's requirements?"
Huang Jie Ling picked up a piece of cantaloupe, took a big bite, and said, "It basically fits. She's an only child, she owns a house, a car, and a stable job. Her father runs a company and hasn't retired yet, and her mother is retired and has a pension. She says she enjoys taking care of children."
Su Tiantian said, "That's great. Old Mrs. Feng finally got what she wanted."
Zhang Xiuli laughed out loud: "Tiantian, your wish-fulfillment is hilarious. How can everything in the world go as planned?"
Huang Jie Ling smiled a bit sarcastically: "With such conditions, he is looking for a live-in son-in-law, an obedient son-in-law. My mother-in-law doesn't know yet, and I guess Xue Ru doesn't know either. Besides, that woman doesn't necessarily have to be Feng Xue Shao. She is also seeing other men. She agreed to come to see my uncle, probably to see if there are any cooperation opportunities for her father's company."
Su Tiantian said, "I see. It looks like your Feng family will be very busy during this period."
Zhang Xiuli stroked her forehead and said, "Actually, I have a headache. A-Ling has been wronged, and it's Jiekang who is upset. He is upset and is looking for trouble with me again."
Huang Jie Ling lowered her head in shame, a rare sight for her. She had always been successful, but she had never imagined that getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be so difficult. She used to like to target Zhang Xiu Li.
Now? She realized that her sister-in-law was really good to her and had a good family background. In the past, people didn't really care about her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had a good life.
She remembered what her eldest brother Huang Jiekang had said to her before she came here: "A Ling, there are things you have to face. Let your sister-in-law accompany you to Mr. Liu's house tonight. You should learn more from your sister-in-law's way of dealing with people. We don't ask you to achieve anything, we just hope that you won't be wronged again."
Su Tiantian said, "Xiu Li, don't be angry. Brother Jie loves his sister dearly. If I were bullied, my brother would do the same."
Huang Jie Ling raised her head and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. My brother likes you very much, and I don't want to trouble you. But apart from asking you, I really don't know how to deal with it. I will read more and learn more in the future."
Su Tiantian and Zhang Xiuli both sighed.
Su Tiantian said: "Actually, A-Ling is indeed wronged. Sometimes it is really difficult for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along. But if the son and husband can mediate appropriately, life will be easier."
Huang Jieling said: "I know it's difficult to be a Confucian scholar, and I know he has tried his best to reconcile. But my mother-in-law is sometimes really unreasonable. She always thinks her two sons are great, and when she speaks, she offends others without realizing it."
Zhang Xiuli said: "This old lady Feng is much more difficult to deal with than my mother-in-law. Even when my mother-in-law loses her temper, she knows when to do it and when to do it. She also knows how to maintain the face of the family."
Zhang Xiuli is also quite courageous. She said her mother-in-law was difficult to deal with in front of her sister-in-law, but her sister-in-law didn't blame her. Zhang Xiuli is indeed a woman with strength and confidence.
Huang Jie Ling nodded and said, "Yes, Mom said we should talk behind closed doors. When we're out there, we should be united as a family. But speaking of it, Xue Shao's girlfriend is just like my mother-in-law, she speaks without mercy, regardless of the occasion."
Su Tiantian's interest grew stronger as she listened to some gossip: "A Ling, can you tell me about it so I can hear it?"
