"Oh my, what a daughter-in-law they've married..." the crowd whispered among themselves.

The way he looked at Lu Xue'er was different now.

If their daughter-in-law dared to have that attitude, she would have been taught a lesson long ago.

Unlike Yao Huixian and Qin Huaijun, who treated a daughter-in-law who married into the family from outside with utmost deference and lack of dignity and attitude.

As expected, having a daughter-in-law with such a good family background isn't always a good thing.

But not everyone is so superficial. The smart ones, who have their own opinions, don't say a word and just stand quietly at a distance and watch.

Hearing everyone's accusations against her daughter, and seeing the apologetic expressions on Yao Huixian and her son's faces, Li Yuan thought to herself that she had been blind to their daughter's abilities.

How could I have thought they were honest people in the first place?

“My daughter married into your family and came back crying last week, with marks on her neck from being strangled. I was thinking of giving you another chance. As long as you come to our door and sincerely apologize, this matter will be over.”

Li Yuan looked at Qin Huaijun and said loudly, "Who would have thought that a week has passed and we haven't seen a single person or even made a phone call? If you looked down on our family, why did you fawn over us like lapdogs in the first place?"

"You've already married her, and you don't even cherish her anymore after such a short time. In that case, you might as well get a divorce."

Li Yuan's words made Qin Huaijun and Yao Huixian's hearts skip a beat.

I never expected there would be such a clever person here.

Yao Huixian sighed, looking helpless. "Mother-in-law, I already told you on the phone that it's normal for couples to bicker. Every family has its ups and downs. You know Xue'er's temper. Who in our family doesn't give in to her?"

“The two had a little argument last week, and Xue’er slapped Huai Jun across the face. It took three or four days for the anger to subside. His colleagues at work all laughed at him, and he was under a lot of pressure.”

"In life, harmony is paramount. Huaijun wanted to pick Xue'er up that very day, but his boss at work needed to see him, and he's also been preoccupied with his promotion lately, so it got delayed."

“Your daughter is a treasure, and my son is also someone I went through a lot of hardship to give birth to. I think I’ve treated Xue’er quite well. I haven’t acted like a mother-in-law. I usually do all the housework, cook all three meals a day, and wash their clothes. I think I’ve done a good job and have a clear conscience.”

“I treat your daughter like my own, mother-in-law, yet you call my son a lapdog. Isn’t that going too far?”

Yao Huixian's long, heartfelt speech stunned both Li Yuan and her daughter.

Lin Xiaoxiao listened from the courtyard and exclaimed how wonderful it was.

The key point is that what Yao Huixian said is true.

Lu Xueer has been married to Qin Huaijun for so long, but she has never washed a single piece of clothing or cooked a single meal. Yao Huixian washes all the dishes. She is a hands-off manager at home.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Yao Huixian particularly loves or cares for her daughter-in-law.

It was simply because of her good family background and the connections she had that could help Qin Huaijun.

Actually, I'm quite dissatisfied with Lu Xue'er.

I've just been holding it in.

Yao Huixian wasn't the kind of person who made sacrifices in silence; she told all the women and old ladies in the compound about everything she had done, without missing a single word.

All the wives in the compound praised her as a good mother-in-law.

I also asked Lu Xueer if Yao Huixian did that, and Lu Xueer didn't deny it.

Therefore, no one doubted what Yao Huixian said.

Everyone couldn't help but advise Li Yuan and her daughter, "Having such a good mother-in-law is a blessing you earned in your past life. Stop being so difficult; everyone argues sometimes."

Coming down the ladder is the real way.

It's really embarrassing to make such a big fuss over a small argument.

Even if Qin Huaijun really pinched Lu Xue'er, didn't Lu Xue'er slap him back? At most, it was just a fight between them.

If Qin Huaijun were to be attacked unilaterally, everyone would naturally condemn him.

Li Yuan was surprised that Yao Huixian could act like this as a mother-in-law, and glared at Lu Xueer with annoyance, wondering why she hadn't told her all this.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught off guard.

Lu Xue'er lowered her head somewhat guiltily, but raised it again in less than three seconds. "I didn't deny what you did, and you shouldn't deny the fact that you spread rumors about me in the compound."

Li Yuan also realized what was happening, "Yes, my daughter clearly came back on her own, why are you saying that you chased her away? And Qin Huaijun, you pinched my daughter first, couldn't my daughter fight back?"

This sequence of events must not be confused.

The mother and son kept ambiguous about who started the fight, but Li Yuan had already figured it out.

Qin Huaijun sighed, his face showing exhaustion. "I started it, okay?"

Yao Huixian rolled her eyes and sighed, "Yes, yes, you were the one who wanted to go back to your parents' home. I didn't kick you out, and I shouldn't have."

Who would believe that tone?

Everyone looked at Lu Xue'er and shook their heads.

Lu Xue'er was so angry her hair was about to explode. "You pinched me first, that's why I hit you."

"And you, what do you mean I shouldn't have kicked you out? Do you dare kick me out?"

Yao Huixian and her son nodded and remained silent.

Lu Xue'er felt powerless, as if her fists were hitting cotton.

Li Yuan could tell from everyone's expressions that it was impossible to clarify the situation.

People already had preconceived notions, and Yao Huixian's usual image was quite good. Lu Xueer herself had to admit that her mother-in-law was indeed kind to her at the beginning.

What else can I say?

Let me start.

"Mom's going back first. You can come back and get your things in a couple of days." Li Yuan said a few words to Lu Xue'er in annoyance before leaving the government compound.
