Chapter 22 From Daughter-in-Law to Mother-in-Law

Ma Xiulian didn't even glance at her, but instead looked sternly at her third son, "Third son, is your wife's opinion the same as yours?"

Hearing his mother's dangerous tone, Chen Jianye shook his head vigorously, "I didn't, I didn't, I completely agree with what you said, Mom."

Their will to survive is incredibly strong.

Ma Xiulian then gave Li Chunhua a nonchalant glance, "But what if your wife doesn't agree?"

"What does it have to do with her?!"

Chen Jianye first glared at his wife, then said righteously, "You're in charge of our family. Whatever you say goes."

As he spoke, he kept glancing at the pipe in his father Chen Dazhu's hand out of the corner of his eye.

Then he met his father's cold gaze.

It was exactly the same look his dad gave him when he was a kid, every time he was about to beat him.

Chen Jianye was immediately jolted awake and turned around to scold Li Chunhua sternly, "If you dare to talk back to Mom again, I'll divorce you!"

Li Chunhua's face turned pale instantly.

Actually, she regretted what she said as soon as she finished speaking.

Because she knew that if a married daughter was rejected and kicked out by her husband's family, her own family would usually not care.

Even if she remarries, she can only marry a disabled or widower who is too poor to afford food, or live a lonely and miserable life alone.

Men are different, especially those from families like the Chen family, who are well-off. Countless women in the entire commune want to marry into such a family and live a life of plenty.

Fortunately, Ma Xiulian didn't really want to send her back to her parents' home; she just wanted to give her a warning and prevent her from having any inappropriate thoughts.

So he waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, go back to sleep. Boss, put the dove in the chicken coop."

Then, turning to Helian Jiao, he adopted a kind and gentle expression, saying, "Grandma's little darling should go to sleep now."

Seeing that her mother-in-law had no intention of pursuing the matter, Li Chunhua finally felt relieved and quickly turned around and went back to her own room.

She walked incredibly fast, as if she had wings on her feet, afraid that if she was even a step too late, her mother-in-law would change her mind.

Zhou Zhaodi's lips twitched as she watched. She almost actually thought that her third sister-in-law was a powerful and unassuming person, but it turned out that she was just being silly.

That's incredibly stupid!

As soon as Li Chunhua returned to her room, she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and pretended to be asleep, afraid that her husband would bring up the topic of divorce again.

I don't know how my mother-in-law raised them, but all her sons are extremely filial and obedient to her. If she tells them to go east, they will never go west.

Fortunately, it was the middle of the night, and Chen Jianye was so sleepy that he started snoring almost as soon as he touched the bed.

Li Chunhua finally breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she must not make the same mistake again.

She also felt a little wronged; all she did was talk back to her mother-in-law.

But since my in-laws are still the ones in charge of the household.

So she held her sleeping son and whispered, "Little Bao, when you grow up, you'll have to support your mother."

Li Chunhua fell asleep with this beautiful wish in her heart, and even had a wonderful dream of herself going from being a daughter-in-law to a mother-in-law, standing tall and disciplining her daughter-in-law.

When I woke up the next day, the corners of my mouth were turned up.

However, this good mood vanished as she munched on dry, hard grain pancakes while her sister-in-law drank a fragrant pigeon soup.

She swallowed hard, beginning to regret letting her sister-in-law feed her little girl; otherwise, she would be the one drinking the pigeon soup.

Zhou Zhaodi also looked on with envy, but surprisingly, she didn't make any boastful noises.
