Jiang Tian, a renowned渣女 (scorned woman/player) in her lifetime with countless boyfriends, was recruited by the Main God after her death to become an invincible host for the Female Lead group.<...
Jiang Tian has such a low status at home that no one wants to sit at the same table with her to eat.
If she were sensible and obediently became a servant, then it wouldn't matter.
But it seems she's gone completely mad today.
Some people were indifferent to Jiang Tian's initiative to sit down and eat with them, while others were extremely upset.
The person who suffered the most was Xiao's mother.
For Xiao's mother, her life wasn't actually that great.
Xiao's father kept many men outside, but out of consideration for his eldest son, he didn't send them home. However, the man's heart was no longer with her, and their daily interactions took place only at the dinner table.
Xiao's father has his own place to live, and because he dislikes her for being old and unattractive, he stopped living with her a long time ago.
As the years have passed and the children have grown up, her husband no longer steps into her house, even when she stays up to welcome the New Year.
In this family, Xiao's mother does have authority, after all, she is the mother of the children. However, her husband does not dote on her, and the children have their own families and never communicate with her much. She does have people who flatter her, but she still feels bitter in her heart.
In particular, she had no way to assert her authority by manipulating her daughter-in-law.
The second and third sons both married daughters from prestigious families with powerful backgrounds, so she couldn't easily manipulate them, let alone set any rules for them.
At first, the family thought they would postpone their eldest son's marriage and choose a better one for him.
However, the old man was seriously ill, and since the two families did have a marriage agreement, and the old man was a man of his word, they reluctantly agreed to marry Jiang Tian.
In fact, Xiao's mother often expressed dissatisfaction with this daughter-in-law.
To her, this daughter-in-law was not good enough for her son.
Fortunately, these days men are less controlled, so her son can still find some good ones to bring home in the future.
But since this daughter-in-law occupies this position, she must do something to satisfy her, otherwise the mother-in-law will feel uncomfortable!
Therefore, Xiao's mother actually really liked setting rules for Jiang Tian.
In her view, setting rules for her daughter-in-law was a way to vent her emotions. Ultimately, there was someone in the family who could be completely controlled by her. What she said was law, and no one dared to contradict her.
But today, this daughter-in-law did something that made her very unhappy.
How could she sit down without telling anyone?
Has Jiang Tian not figured out her identity yet?
In this family, she could only be considered half a mistress; ultimately, she still had to listen to them.
She didn't say a word to anyone and just sat down, which broke the rules!
However, Xiao's mother could not show her dissatisfaction for no reason. She knew very well that the biggest master was not her, but Xiao's father.
Her husband didn't say anything, so if she, as his wife, insisted on standing up for him, she might end up contradicting herself.
But when Xiao's mother saw Jiang Tian sitting at the same table with her eating, she felt really sad.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao's mother cleared her throat and deliberately said, "Eldest son, the chicken soup is a bit far from me. Could you get me a bowl of chicken soup?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian immediately stood up and carefully served chicken soup to Xiao's mother.
Seeing her meticulous movements, Xiao's mother felt a little calmer.
Just as she was about to say something, Jiang Tian, having finished serving the chicken soup, quickly returned to her seat and continued eating.
In fact, Jiang Tian's manners were impeccable. Although she was not very good at socializing, she was still a well-bred young lady. Apart from her family not allowing her to read, she could be considered competent in other aspects.
This is the kind of person she is, even though in other people's eyes she is already a daughter-in-law who has been married into the family.
But Xiao's mother still didn't want her to sit down.
Seeing her sitting there, Xiao's mother felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She cleared her throat and couldn't help but say again, "Hey, eldest sister, ask me to wash some fruit again. I want to eat some apples today."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian stood up again and obediently went to wash the fruit.
But she was very efficient at her work, especially when washing fruit. Before long, she returned with a plate of washed fruit.
After returning home, Jiang Tian carefully placed the fruit in front of her mother-in-law.
Then she went back to sit down.
Xiao's mother is now truly feeling pain in her chest.
She truly never imagined that one day she would be angered by her eldest daughter-in-law.
Doesn't she know who she is?
Is there anyone in the entire society who is of lower status than her?
How could she eat with them?
However, Xiao's mother couldn't tell Jiang Tian to stand aside properly.
She was, after all, the eldest son's wife in name only.
Such a wife, who has not contributed much to the family, is putting on airs, which challenges Xiao's mother's authority as a mother-in-law.
Everyone else in the family was watching the show.
They had long seen through Xiao's mother's plan.
For the whole family, it's a good thing that Xiao's mother can devote all her attention to her eldest daughter-in-law and not discipline them.
Moreover, my sister-in-law really went too far.
Mom's behavior is so obvious, why is she still pretending to be stupid?
In their view, it doesn't matter whether they sit together or not.
However, since Xiao's mother has shown dissatisfaction, they must stand on the same side as him.
"Hey, my forehead hurts a bit, come over and massage it for me."
Xiao's mother's eyes lit up, and she came up with another good idea.
She just didn't want Jiang Tian to sit there.
Upon hearing that her mother-in-law was unwell, Jiang Tian's face immediately showed worry: "Mother-in-law, we should find a doctor to take a look. Your headache has been going on for more than just a day or two. You always endure it for the sake of the family, not wanting others to see your pain, but every time I see you in so much pain, I wish I could take your place. I'll do anything to help you."
Jiang Tian didn't quite use the word "replace" correctly.
But what she said surprised everyone.
What kind of show is my sister-in-law putting on?
When did she become so eloquent?
Originally, Xiao's mother disliked her eldest daughter-in-law intensely, but after hearing her say this, she suddenly felt more satisfied with her.
She rubbed her temples in a mock manner: "My family is very busy, so I can just bear with these minor ailments."
“Mother-in-law, you can’t do this. You are the backbone of the family. Every time I see you in pain, my heart aches too. We can’t delay any longer. Let’s go see a doctor.”
Xiao's mother shook her head: "No need, don't bother."
She deliberately appeared strong.
In reality, it's really not necessary.
Xiao's mother's illnesses were all self-inflicted. She came from a wealthy family and had nothing to do all day. She was always thinking about things and wanted to get attention from others. She also liked to drink Chinese medicine, which made her seem weak and sickly.
Actually, those are just diseases of affluence, and have nothing to do with her specific physical condition; she is very healthy.
