Upon transmigrating, Shen Yunsheng became a peasant woman, complete with four burdens (stepchildren) + a bunch of brainless relatives.
Her in-laws are weak and incompetent, her sister-in-law ...
Seeing that her daughter-in-law remained silent, Luo quickly explained, "Jingchuan's wife, I really saw it. When I was talking to him, I saw his fingers moving with my own eyes."
Shen Yunsheng believed that her mother-in-law had really seen it, and she was certain that this positive phenomenon was related to her blood.
“Mother, I noticed his fingers twitch before, but I thought I was seeing things and didn’t pay any attention to it.”
Upon hearing this, Luo became even more agitated. She grabbed her daughter-in-law and headed straight for the east wing.
In the east wing, in the bedroom of Shen Yunsheng and Xiao Jingchuan.
When Xiao Jingchuan saw his wife and mother come to the bedside, he deliberately moved his fingers again.
"Look, Jingchuan's finger is moving again."
Shen Yunsheng looked up and indeed saw Xiao Jingchuan's finger twitch.
"Mother! This is a good sign. As long as we spend more time with him, he will wake up sooner or later."
Shen Yunsheng walked quickly to the bedside to personally observe her husband's eye reaction.
When a person awakens from a coma or deep sleep, their eyeballs may exhibit subtle movements. If the husband shows this reaction, it means he may wake up at any moment.
After hearing his wife's thoughts, Xiao Jingchuan gently moved his eyeballs as she requested.
Shen Yunsheng noticed that Xiao Jingchuan's eyes were moving and immediately told his mother-in-law who was standing next to him.
"Mother! My husband's eyes are moving. If nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up soon."
"Thank God!" Mrs. Luo excitedly knelt down and worshipped the heavens.
Shen Yunsheng chuckled to herself. She thought her mother-in-law was very superstitious. Without her blood, how could her husband have gotten better?
“Jingchuan’s family, I want to go to town to find your father and tell him that Jingchuan is about to wake up.” Luo Shi excitedly grabbed her daughter-in-law’s hand.
The mother-in-law went to see the father-in-law, but Shen Yunsheng did not support it. If the old poisonous woman knew that her husband had improved, she would definitely not separate the family.
"Mother! It's best not to tell my father about this. If he tells the old lady, the family will never be divided."
Xiao Jingchuan also felt that his wife made sense. Whether in the previous life or this life, his father was very dependent on the old poisonous woman. As long as the old poisonous woman said nice things, his father would soften his heart.
In this life, he will never let that old vile woman get what she wants again.
Seeing her daughter-in-law's serious expression, Luo stopped mentioning her husband.
Actually, she didn't like that her husband always listened to the old lady.
Fearing that her mother-in-law might have some thoughts, Shen Yunsheng took her hand and gently persuaded her, "Mother, if we don't separate the family now, it will be even more difficult to do so in the future. You know better than I do what kind of person the old lady is. I really can't bear to see you continue to be their long-term servant."
“Oh! I’m afraid your father won’t agree. When Jingchuan was three years old, I brought up the idea of separating the family, and he scolded me.”
Luo understood everything her daughter-in-law said.
But she had no confidence in her husband.
Shen Yunsheng was also worried that her father-in-law would disagree. Her father-in-law was a well-known filial son. As long as the old poisonous woman said a nice word, he would think that she was a very good person.
The mother-in-law is really unlucky to have married such a mama's boy. Only a mother-in-law can tolerate a mama's boy father-in-law. If it were her, she would have divorced him long ago.
“Mother! Happiness is something you have to fight for. If you keep giving in, the other person will only take advantage of you. Even the closest marital relationship requires mutual respect.”
Shen Yunsheng hopes that her mother-in-law will live for herself this time and not always give in to others.
Xiao Jingchuan strongly agreed with his wife's point of view: if his mother was a woman with her own opinions, his father would not dare to underestimate her.
To put it bluntly, the reason why that old vile woman was so arrogant was because her father spoiled her.
Sometimes, he particularly hated his father, who worked himself to the bone every day just to support others.
What's most infuriating is that when he was bullied by the second wife's family, his father told him to cower in fear.
Only the mother was willing to put up with the father's bad temper; if it were anyone else, they would have given up on the marriage long ago.
When Luo thought of the suffering she had endured over the years, she couldn't help but shed tears. When she first met her husband, he was indeed a very good man, but after they got married, she discovered that he was an unloved and blindly filial son.
She thought that after having a child, her husband would take on the responsibilities he should have, but it turned out that her idea was foolish.
The husband would rather earn money to support his second wife than spend a single penny more on her and the children.
"Mother! I know you're upset, just cry it out."
Shen Yunsheng hugged his mother-in-law with heartache. Although his mother-in-law had her own family, they didn't get along well with her. Sometimes, his mother-in-law would suffer grievances but could only keep them to herself.
“Jingchuan’s family, I’m not afraid you’ll laugh at me, but ever since I married your father-in-law, he’s never treated me like a wife.”
When his mother-in-law took the initiative to start a heart-to-heart talk, Shen Yunsheng followed along.
“Mother, since you’re unhappy, why don’t you get a divorce?”
“I…I’ve thought about getting a divorce, but I can’t bear to leave my children. Besides, my family won’t allow me to get a divorce.”
After a brief pause, Luo continued, "Women in this era have it very tough. Even if they divorce, they are still abandoned wives despised by everyone. Your father-in-law takes advantage of this, which is why he can bully and neglect me so recklessly."
Shen Yunsheng felt even more sorry for her mother-in-law in her arms. It was already a good thing that her mother-in-law had endured so much and hadn't developed depression yet.
“Mother! I know my father-in-law too well, that’s why I asked you not to tell him. Once we separate the family, you won’t have to live at the mercy of anyone.”
Shen Yunsheng gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her mother-in-law's eyes. Women should rely on themselves; it's better to rely on yourself than on others.
"Jingchuan, rest assured, this time, I will definitely stand by your side."
Luo's eyes were firm. It was rare for the old lady to agree to divide the family property, and she had to seize the opportunity.
“Jingchuan’s family, once Chuan’er wakes up, you should live a good life with him. If he dares to follow your father-in-law’s example, I will disown him.”
Shen Yunsheng nodded in agreement. She chatted with her mother-in-law for a while, then turned her gaze to Xiao Jingchuan.
At this moment, she desperately hoped that Xiao Jingchuan could wake up. Her mother-in-law and the family needed him. If he returned home safely, she wouldn't have to worry about these things at all.
Xiao Jingchuan understood his wife's feelings at this moment. Since she married into their family, she had never had a good day. He owed her all of this and he would make it up to her.
"My husband, I know you can hear me. Please wake up soon."
Shen Yunsheng took her husband's hand and spoke to him softly.
“Jing, Jingchuan’s family, Chuan’er seems to be opening his eyes.”
When Luo saw her son blink, she quickly went closer.
Xiao Jingchuan has decided to wake up. These past few days, he has been going out to find food while his wife and mother are asleep. He doesn't want to pretend anymore.
Just as Shen Yunsheng was about to speak, she saw her husband open his eyes completely.
"Chuan'er, you've finally woken up."
Mrs. Luo excitedly rushed over and hugged her son.
Shen Yunsheng released her husband's hand with relief, letting him chat with his mother-in-law alone for a while.
