Seeing that the couple was about to fight, Li Xiang quickly stepped forward to stop them: "Old Third, please stop talking!"
"After a woman gets pregnant, she does become more greedy. It's not Xiaoqin who wants to eat this, it's the baby in her belly who wants to eat it."
"You have to be considerate of her. It's very hard for a woman to be pregnant. What's more, Xiaoqin is still taking medicine. She is weak now and really needs to be nourished."
Li Xiang was trying hard to reconcile the two, but she didn't expect Wang Huilian to be there to sabotage them.
She said with a smile, "Which woman doesn't give birth to a child? I've never seen a pregnant wife insist on eating meat."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Qiushu's expression, which had eased a little, turned cold again.
Li Xiangqi felt a tightness in her chest. She whispered to Wang Huilian, "Sister-in-law, please stop talking. Don't you think the house is messy enough?"
She didn't understand, what good would it do to her eldest sister-in-law if she provoked the third brother and his wife to quarrel?
But Wang Huilian just couldn't stand Li Xiaoqin getting special treatment.
When she and the second son's wife were pregnant, they ate whatever was available at home. Who would dare to urge their husband to go to the mountains?
They are both daughters-in-law of the Shen family, so why does Li Xiaoqin receive such treatment?
Logically speaking, since my mother-in-law is paralyzed and can't take charge of things, she should be the one who has the final say in the Shen family.
She couldn't tolerate anything that went beyond her control.
Chen Chunshu was tired after a long day and his stomach was growling with hunger. When he got home and saw the women either crying or quarreling, he suddenly lost his temper.
"You're all bored, right? Didn't you see your husband is back? Didn't you get him something to eat first? You just stand there and make noise. Do you think you can make meat out of it?"
"This is the condition of the Shen family. If you are greedy, just find a way yourself. If you can't do it, just go out and sell it. Why are you aggrieved here?"
The first part can be understood as Shen Chunshu scolding Wang Huilian, but the harsh words he said later were purely meant for Li Xiaoqin to hear.
How could Li Xiaoqin, who has always been careful, not understand?
She looked at Shen Chunshu in disbelief, wondering why he thought he could scold her?
Li Xiaoqin raised her eyebrows and looked at Shen Chunshu unhappily: "What do you mean by that, brother? I'm complaining about my man, what does it have to do with you?"
"He's my man, I'm pregnant with his baby, what's wrong with asking him to get me something nutritious?"
"I originally had money in my hand. If it weren't for the trouble in your family that caused Qiu Shu's hand to be injured, I would have more than enough money to buy eggs. Why would I cry for a bite of food now?"
"Now you have the nerve to scold me. Why don't you take care of your children? One or two of them either marry a debt collector or behave like a hooligan to others. How dare you act like a boss here?"
Li Xiaoqin was extremely disgusted with Mr. Shen and his wife.
She felt that almost everything that happened to the Shen family was caused by their family.
If Shen Hongmei hadn't married that bastard Zhao Changgui, the Shen family would have been in debt, and the series of events that followed would have been triggered in order to pay off the debt.
If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have to work so hard now, and I wouldn't have to cry just because I wanted to get something nutritious for the baby in my belly.
Shen Chunshu had not expected that Li Xiaoqin, his third brother's wife, would be so disrespectful to him and insult him in front of the whole family.
He suddenly sat up straight from his reclining position, pointed at Li Xiaoqin and was about to attack: "Who do you think you are? How dare you say that I am not good?"
Chen Chunshu's eyes were as big as cow's eyes, which scared Li Xiaoqin.
She quickly stood up and hid behind him.
There is not a single normal person in Boss Shen’s family. Who knows if Shen Chunshu will really do something?
As a woman, if I get beaten, it will be in vain in the end.
Li Xiaoqin looked at Shen Qiushu with tears in her eyes. Now he was the only one who could compete with Boss Shen.
Shen Qiushu, who was still angry, felt better when he saw his wife's pitiful eyes.
Then he turned around and fired at Shen Chunshu: "Brother, what do you want to do? Xiaoqin is my wife, is it your turn to find fault with her?"
When Chen Chunshu saw the jerk look of the third brother, he was so angry that he fell backwards: "Can't you hear your wife scolding me? Am I still your eldest brother? Do you let your wife say that to me?"
Chen Qiushu tilted his head and started to act like a spoiled brat: "Who told you to be the first to point fingers at others? You deserve to be criticized."
“You…” Shen Chunshu pointed at Shen Qiushu and was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, he sneered, "You are just a fool. You listen to your wife in everything. Sooner or later, someone will sell you out and you won't even know it!"
"Look at your useless appearance. It's as if you haven't seen a woman for 800 years. You let a woman control you so tightly. Aren't you ashamed?"
Chen Qiushu was a little embarrassed by what he said, and he stiffened his neck to try to save face: "You don't listen to your wife, but I don't see you living a good life, do you?"
"My wife was right about you. You gave birth to three children, but none of them turned out to be useful. Brother, you should reflect on yourself."
Seeing that his face turned red with anger when Shen Chunshu's three children were mentioned, Shen Qiushu was quite proud.
But unexpectedly, at this moment, Old Man Shen suddenly grabbed the broom on the kang and hit Shen Qiushu.
"Dad, why did you hit me?" Shen Qiushu covered his head, feeling confused about being hit.
Old man Shen looked at him with a gloomy face: "No matter how bad Dawei and the others are, it is not your turn as the Hundred Hundred to teach their father a lesson here."
"I'm still alive. It's not your turn to make decisions in our family. If you want to make decisions, you have to wait until I die."
Seeing that Old Man Shen was protecting Shen Chunshu, Shen Qiushu was very angry and thought that his father was favoring the eldest brother.
He raised his head with an unconvinced look on his face: "If you don't let me make the decision, how can Big Brother be our boss?"
"What right does he have to say that about my wife? If he says that about my wife, isn't he talking about me? Can't I talk back?"
Seeing that his youngest son was talking back to him, Old Man Shen looked at Li Xiaoqin with an unfriendly look.
Today's incident was entirely caused by her.
The third son's wife is simply a troublemaker.
As soon as Li Xiaoqin met Old Man Shen's gaze, she turned her head away.
In the past, she was so fearful and wanted to please Old Man Shen, just to gain a foothold in the Shen family and gain some face.
But now even eating has become a problem, so what’s the point of saving face?
You can't eat face.
Make a fuss, it’s better to make a big fuss, and then the Shen family will split up and each family can live their own life behind closed doors, so as not to be dragged down by the eldest brother’s family.
Li Xiaoqin believed that as long as I didn't look at her, you didn't care about me, so she pretended not to see the accusatory look in Old Man Shen's eyes.
While the Shen family was arguing over a bite of food, Shen Siyue and Shi Tou had already finished their meal with full stomachs.
After the meal, Shen Siyue took a large bowl, filled it with chicken, and went to Liu Changshan’s house with the bowl and Shi Tou.
