Shen Junmei shook her head and said, "What's so good about Ruan Jiaojiao? She's promiscuous; whoever has her child will be laughed at!"

"But when her children have meat to eat! I want to eat meat!"

Golden Egg was shouting and yelling at home.

Afraid of being embarrassed, Shen Junmei could only step forward and cover his mouth. But Jindan had grown up and could struggle, even biting Shen Junmei's hand hard!

"Ah! You little brat!" Shen Junmei cried out in pain, tears streaming down her face. At that moment, she was in great distress. The two men she loved most were now hitting her and biting her.

"Useless! Useless thing!" Jin Dan started cursing her, "You good-for-nothing mother, you're not even as pretty as your second aunt, nor as capable as her, what's the point of you even living?"

"Why didn't Dad beat you to death? If you had died, Dad could have found me a mother like my second aunt!"

"Yes... if you die, Dad can take Second Aunt away. I want Second Aunt to be my mom, then those two little rascals, Da Bao and Xiao Bao, won't have a mom, and they'll cry day and night, hahaha..."

Jin Dan laughed maniacally, kicking Shen Junmei.

It wasn't until Old Man Fu and Old Woman Fu heard the noise and rushed over, giving all the meat that the old couple had been reluctant to eat to Jin Dan, that he finally calmed down.

Old Man Fu was unsure what to say after his daughter-in-law was beaten, so he took his eldest grandson and went home. Only Old Woman Fu and Shen Junmei remained.

"Mom, did Dad beat you when he was young?"

Shen Junmei wept bitterly.

"Hit her, hit her! What woman doesn't get hit? We'll get through this!" x33xs.

"But Fu Ting would never hit Ruan Jiaojiao! Her two children are so well-behaved! Mom, why is God so unfair? Waaah..."

Looking at her distraught eldest daughter-in-law, Old Lady Fu still felt sorry for Shen Junmei. After all, she was her first daughter-in-law, and she had risked her life to give the Fu family a son.

Although she would sometimes skimp on her food, she wouldn't eat the portion herself, but would save it for Fu Jun and Jin Dan.

Moreover, Shen Junmei has been cooking for the whole family for more than ten years without complaint, and has never missed a meal for them because of her own illness or other reasons.

Her biggest flaw is that she is too concerned about saving face, which makes her treat Zhao Di badly.

“Junmei,” Old Madam Fu patted her and said, “Sometimes I envy my second son’s wife. I always feel that her thoughts and actions are what I wanted when I was young, but I didn’t dare to have. But, Junmei, you are still young compared to your mother. Why don’t you go and talk to your second son’s wife? If you sisters-in-law get closer, our family will be better off. A harmonious family brings prosperity.”

"You want me to go find the second son's wife? You want me to bow down to that little whore Ruan Jiaojiao? Humph, impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Shen Junmei muttered to herself.

However, Old Lady Fu didn't pay much attention to what she said, because she knew that Shen Junmei's heart had already wavered.

Women are destined for hardship; married women are even more so.

Shen Junmei cried herself to sleep. The next morning, before dawn, she got up to make breakfast for the family.

Even though she was injured, even though she hadn't slept for more than a few hours, even though the stove was covered with a thick layer of ice in the cold weather.

But Shen Junmei didn't understand. She thought that what she was doing was the right thing to do, and that as long as she was a good daughter-in-law and a good mother, her life would get better.

She never went to school, and all the principles in her mind came from her mother. Her mother was like that, so she felt that she should be like that too.
