Chapter 223 Shouldn't it be that bad? (2/2)

When saying this, the old lady kept silent.

Everyone looked over.

This area is basically populated by military families from the East District Family Compound.

I've heard before that Li Mei's mother-in-law is a tough one, and she would point at her nose and scold her if she disagreed with something.

I didn't expect that seeing is believing.

Seeing Li Mei hanging her head and silently wiping away her tears, the sisters-in-law felt very uncomfortable.

We are all daughters-in-law, so we subconsciously lean towards Li Mei.

Especially those who are good friends with Li Mei.

One of them pulled the old lady aside and said, "Auntie, she just gave birth two days ago and is still weak. Let's wait until the typhoon is over before we talk about anything."

The other one supported Li Mei and said, "Yes, Auntie, don't give in to others. Just consider that she has given your family a grandson. Don't bother with her.

"That's right, Auntie, look how cute your little grandson is!" The other military wives also joined in.

As she spoke, one of the sisters-in-law reached out and teased the child.

"This child is so well behaved, he doesn't cry or make a fuss."

"He's quite well behaved. He's been eating and sleeping well these past few days. We don't have to worry about him at all."

With the mention of her grandson, the old lady's expression finally became less ugly.

But when she thought about having to pay that money herself, she still felt annoyed.

As soon as she sat down, the old lady started to complain to everyone.

At this moment, the auditorium was as bustling as a market. Outside, there was a crackling sound and it was raining. Jiang Si couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.

But looking at the old lady's saliva flying around, you can tell without even wanting to guess that she is definitely scolding her own daughter-in-law.

Perhaps it was the scene that moved her, Xu Mingjuan couldn't help but sigh a few times when she saw this.

"This Li Mei is also a pitiful person. Ever since her mother-in-law came to the family compound, she would beat and scold her whenever she was unhappy. I have seen her cry several times."

Jiang Si didn't quite understand this. "Sister-in-law, even though she's being scolded so badly that she doesn't even dare to raise her head, she's actually been pulling her mother-in-law's strings all along."

"Ah?" Xu Mingjuan was surprised.

Jiang Si nodded. "Don't you notice that Li Mei has a similar personality to your ex-mother-in-law?"

"On the surface, he doesn't seem to have any opinions of his own, and his words and eyes are all submissive."

"Think carefully, sister-in-law. Doesn't she always act like she's been wronged and won't say anything when she sees someone?"

Xu Mingjuan stopped talking when she heard that.

Thinking back to the rumors she had heard in the family compound, she couldn't help but shudder.

You know what, Li Mei's personality is really similar to that of her ex-mother-in-law.

It's just that one is a smiling tiger.

The other one is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger.

These two types of people appear harmless on the surface, but in reality they are as cunning as lotus pods.

Just like now, Li Mei didn't say a word, but all the sisters-in-law were on her side.

If everyone speaks up for her this time, they will help her blame the old lady next time.

Maybe even Mrs. Xiang herself doesn't know that she has now become the recognized evil mother-in-law in the family compound.

On this matter, Hu Meili's idea was exactly the same as Jiang Si's.

"This old lady Xiang is not a good mother-in-law, and that Li Mei is not a good person either."

As she said this, she looked over with a look of understanding.

"I was wondering why she stood at your door for so long that day. Turns out she wanted to borrow money from you."

Jiang Si smiled and said casually, "I'm not stupid. I've never even met her, so how could I possibly lend her money?"

But then again, there was still one thing Jiang Si didn't understand.

"When she borrowed money that day, she was so anxious. It's only been a few days, how come..." It seems like she's fine again.

He didn't finish the last few words.

Hu Meili suddenly looked over with her eyes wide open, then shook her head the next second.

"That shouldn't be the case, right?"
