This action of hers not only shocked Li Xiang next to her so much that she forgot what she was doing, but also made Old Lady Wang look at her with eyes wide open in disbelief.
Wang Huilian didn’t know what she was thinking about. She felt more and more aggrieved. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mom, when will you get better? Seeing you like this, I feel so sad."
"It's all that beast's fault. He made you like this."
"Ever since you lay down, our family has lost its backbone. Look at us now, there's no rule at all, no one is young or old."
Old Mrs. Wang blinked her eyes, wondering what was wrong with her eldest daughter-in-law today.
Ever since she collapsed on the kang, Wang Huilian has never extended a hand to her, let alone wipe her feces and urine.
Wang Huilian felt that she had been showing genuine concern for her for a while, but she didn't see any tears or gratitude on Old Lady Wang's face, and she couldn't help feeling a little angry.
But she didn't lose her temper at Old Lady Wang. Instead, she scolded Li Xiang who was standing next to her, "Second brother's wife should pay more attention to mother. Look at how thin mother has become."
"If it weren't for that bastard you gave birth to, how could mother become like this now?"
"The Shen family married a jinx like you, causing the second son to have no son to carry on the family line. The child they gave birth to is also a disaster. You were born to bring bad luck to the Shen family, right?"
Wang Huilian took this opportunity to scold Li Xiang.
Together with the hatred towards Shen Siyue, and the dissatisfaction with Li Xiang's defection to Li Xiaoqin, all of them were vented out.
Li Xiang was confused by the scolding and looked at Wang Huilian at a loss.
"Sister-in-law, I...I have been serving mother wholeheartedly. I have not been lazy."
Li Xiang's rebuttal was so soft that it seemed inaudible, and she seemed weak and powerless.
But Wang Huilian was just taking advantage of the situation to make a fuss. She didn't really care whether Li Xiang served her seriously or not.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you used to be a hard-working person, working quickly and not playing tricks. Who did you learn this from? Being sneaky and cunning, pretending to obey but actually disobeying?"
"Hey, sister-in-law, who are you talking about?"
Just as Wang Huilian was cursing happily, Li Xiaoqin's voice came in from outside.
Wang Huilian turned around and watched Li Xiaoqin twist her hips and walk into the house. She couldn't suppress the jealousy in her eyes and kept talking.
"I will tell on anyone who has bad intentions! People should recognize their own status and do things that are appropriate to their status. If you covet things that do not belong to you, be careful that God will blame you."
Li Xiaoqin was not afraid of Wang Huilian at all, but she was very curious about why Wang Huilian, who had been well behaved for a while, suddenly exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
She turned her gaze to Li Xiang, whose eyes were red: "Second sister-in-law, what did you do to provoke her?"
Li Xiang felt very aggrieved: "I sat here doing needlework this morning and did nothing!"
The conversation between the two people as if they were the only one around made Wang Huilian feel humiliated.
"Third wife, you've been married for quite a while, right? Your mother lives in the same room with you, look at how much you two are served? Aren't you afraid of being criticized if you go out?"
Li Xiaoqin looked at Wang Huilian in surprise, wondering what was wrong with her.
Li Xiang has always taken over the service to Old Lady Wang, and this is something that the three daughters-in-law all agree on. Why are they suddenly bringing this up?
Being able to tolerate the smell of Old Lady Wang every day is already her bottom line. What else do you want her to do?
Besides, Wang Huilian, as the eldest daughter-in-law, stayed away from everyone. Why should she blame the third daughter-in-law?
However, seeing that Wang Huilian was really willing to stand up for Old Lady Wang, Li Xiaoqin's eyes turned.
The tone of voice also changed from the original sharp confrontation to an attitude of admitting fault: "Yes, the eldest sister-in-law is right. The second sister-in-law and I are wrong. We did not serve mother well."
"How about this, take mom to your room. Sister-in-law, you are knowledgeable and skillful, you will definitely take good care of mom. Maybe you can even help mom stand up and speak again."
Wang Huilian originally wanted to take advantage of Old Lady Wang's illness to scold the second and third daughters-in-law to vent her anger, but she didn't expect that Li Xiaoqin would seize the opportunity to blame the old lady on her.
"I...I..." Wang Huilian didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Li Xiaoqin took one look and immediately continued to provoke her: "Sister-in-law, don't you want to serve mother? Then why did you just yell at me and the second sister-in-law? How can you be so shameless to teach others a lesson when you only talk but don't do anything?"
After saying that, she turned to Li Xiang and complained in a low voice: "Every day you talk better than you sing, but when it comes to the real thing, you back off. No wonder you can't stand up as the eldest daughter-in-law."
Li Xiaoqin's last words completely angered Wang Huilian: "Who said I don't serve me? Before you got married, wasn't it me and my second son's wife who served me?"
"Move to our room, then move to our room. Do you think I can take good care of mother?"
At this time, Wang Huilian just wanted to compete with Li Xiaoqin.
Seeing that Wang Huilian had indeed been fooled, Li Xiaoqin clapped her hands immediately and said, "Sister-in-law, do you mean what you said? Don't go back on your word later."
Wang Huilian raised her chin and said, "Whoever regrets this is a bastard."
"Okay, you have guts. Come on, sister-in-law, let's help carry mother to that room."
Li Xiaoqin was very happy and quickly called Li Xiang and immediately carried the old lady over.
She was really afraid that Wang Huilian would regret it soon.
No matter how decisive her words were, after such a long time, Li Xiaoqin had finally realized that Wang Huilian was a shrew.
Li Xiang was a little confused. She didn't know why her mother-in-law had to be moved to that room just because of a few words.
Li Xiaoqin: "Second sister-in-law, why are you still standing there? Can you give me a hand?"
Li Xiang: "But...can sister-in-law serve mother well?"
After so many years, let alone the fact that the old lady is paralyzed on the kang now, even when she was still fine before, Wang Huilian, as the eldest daughter-in-law, didn't do much work for the old lady, right?
Li Xiaoqin rolled her eyes at Li Xiang, her tone hinting: "If sister-in-law says it's possible, then it's possible. Why are you worrying about that? Hurry up and carry it over now."
Why don’t you get rid of this burden of the old lady while Wang Huilian is confused? What are you waiting for?
Li Xiaoqin couldn’t even imagine that there would be such a good thing happening today.
Li Xiang was confused by Li Xiaoqin's orders and had to help carry the old lady.
But no one expected that at this moment, Old Mrs. Wang, who had been very quiet, would suddenly scream.
"Ah...ah...wobuqu,buqu."
