Seeing the two daughters-in-law arguing more and more over a room, Old Man Shen slammed his chopsticks on the table and glared at them: "No one should think about taking that room anymore. Let's give it to the second son and his wife."
Chen Qiushu immediately objected: "Dad, my second sister-in-law has to take care of my second brother and my mother at the same time. How tiring it would be to run around in both directions?"
Old Man Shen glanced at him and said unhappily, "Then move your mother over there. It's not like she hasn't lived in that house before."
These words made Shen Qiushu stare in dismay, and he was a little dissatisfied and wanted to argue with Old Man Shen.
Li Xiaoqin quickly pinched him under the table.
Now is not the time to make trouble with my father-in-law. If I make him angry, he will refuse to give them anything. Then it will be difficult to ask for it again in the future.
Li Xiaoqin thought that she could easily get the house by using her stomach as an excuse, but she didn't expect Wang Huilian to interrupt her, and the plan of moving the house was about to fail.
So, my father-in-law, no matter what, we can't let things get awkward anymore.
Chen Qiushu pouted, getting angrier the more he thought about it, and shouted at Chen Xiashu who was lying next to him: "Second brother, do you still want a son?"
Li Xiang's heart trembled, and she quickly pleaded, "Yes, of course, Qiu Shu, don't be angry, the house is for you to live in, for you to live in, you can stay as long as you want, okay?"
As she spoke, she pulled Chen Xiashu next to her and said, "Can you say something?"
At this time, Chen Xiashu said to Chen Qiushu in a muffled voice: "If you want to live here, you can live here."
Seeing that her man finally spoke, Li Xiang cried with joy and nodded towards Chen Qiushu, meaning: Look, your second brother has also spoken, you can't go back on your word about the child.
Chen Qiushu looked at his sister-in-law and father with some pride, his expression was as arrogant as it could be.
But Li Xiaoqin, who was confused by what she heard, looked at the people at the table with some suspicion: "Second sister-in-law, are you going to have a baby?"
"Pfft, hahaha~~~" Wang Huilian couldn't help laughing when she saw Li Xiaoqin's face that was kept in the dark.
She looked at Li Xiaoqin with amusement: "The second brother's wife has been unable to have children for a long time. The third brother is really good at joking!"
"However, it is true that my second sister-in-law wants to hold a son, but the one she holds is not her own, but the one in your belly!"
"Sister-in-law, do you know what you are talking about?" Li Xiang, who was always good-tempered, suddenly got angry and looked very ugly.
But Wang Huilian was not afraid at all, and said slowly: "Why are you still hiding it? Sooner or later, you will tell the third son's wife, right?"
Then she looked at Li Xiaoqin with a gloating look: "Xiaoqin, you may not know yet, but your dear sister-in-law has already reserved the son in your belly."
"This matter was decided long before you got married, you're the only one in our family who doesn't know about it."
Li Xiaoqin slowly opened her mouth, and then looked at Shen Qiushu in disbelief: "Qiushu, tell me, what my sister-in-law said is all false, right? Right?"
Chen Qiushu turned his head away with a guilty conscience, and replied hesitantly: "You... don't listen to what the eldest sister-in-law said. The one that the second brother and the second sister-in-law want to adopt is also our second son."
"We should take care of this baby in your belly by ourselves. If you don't believe me, ask Dad."
Li Xiaoqin turned her head absentmindedly to look at Old Man Shen, then looked at her second sister-in-law Li Xiang, still unable to accept it.
She suddenly threw the chopsticks in her hand onto the table and yelled, "My child, why do you want to give it to someone else without my consent? Why?"
Li Xiang quickly reached out to comfort her: "Xiao Qin, don't get excited, you're still pregnant! Listen to me, we are all a family, and we don't want to give it to others."
"I'll take care of the child, and you'll be able to see him every day, right? I promise, I'll treat him like the apple of my eye."
"You also know that I have been married to the Shen family for so many years, and I have only given birth to Yue... I only gave birth to that one bastard. When your second brother and I die in the future, there will be no one to carry the banner and break the pot for us!"
"I just want to have a son who can take care of us in our old age. Just now you asked me to pity you, and my second sister-in-law is begging you here: Xiaoqin, can you also pity me and your second brother?"
"You've been married for such a long time, and you've always seen how your second brother and I live."
"After your second brother and I die, can you bear to see that no one comes to visit our graves during festivals?"
As Li Xiang was talking, her tears started to fall like beads from a broken string and she could no longer hold back her tears.
Who can understand how she has survived all these years?
Although they are both daughters-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law used to show off in front of her every day, and her parents-in-law also obviously favored the eldest son's family.
Isn't it because she couldn't give birth to a son to carry on her man's legacy?
Poor her, why is her life so miserable? She gave birth to a girl who always went against her family. She wanted to kill herself with a knife.
The more Li Xiang thought about it, the sadder she became. Her sobbing at the beginning turned into crying loudly.
I cried out all the grievances I had suffered over the years.
Li Xiaoqin looked at Li Xiang, who was crying uncontrollably, with an extremely ugly expression on her face.
If someone who didn't know the inside story saw this, they would think I had bullied her.
But she was clearly the one who was snatching her own son away, so why was she still feeling wronged?
No wonder Li Xiang has been taking good care of her and listening to her in everything since she got married.
Until now, she thought that Li Xiang had been bullied too much by Wang Huilian, so she was biased towards herself who did not bully her.
But I didn't expect that in the end, I would be the stupidest one.
She had been thinking about her son for a long time, but she was still foolishly helping Li Xiang deal with Wang Huilian.
It's true that after hunting geese for years, I ended up having my eyes pecked by a wild goose.
Thinking about the past few days, Li Xiaoqin felt very upset.
She turned her head away, not wanting to see Li Xiang's aggrieved look, but she didn't expect to meet Shen Qiushu's guilty gaze.
A surge of resentment immediately went towards him, and Li Xiaoqin raised her hand to hit him: "That's my son, why did you send him off for me? Did you ask me? Did you ask me?"
Shen Qiushu raised his hands to protect his head and kept begging for mercy: "Wife, I was wrong, isn't that enough? Stop hitting me, stop hitting me."
Li Xiaoqin still didn't feel satisfied after hitting him with her hands, so she picked up a broken bowl on the table and smashed it on Shen Qiushu's head.
Old man Shen couldn't stand it anymore. He pointed at Li Xiaoqin angrily and shouted, "Stop it. Do you still have me as your father in your eyes?"
Li Xiaoqin bit her back teeth and glared at Old Man Shen hatefully out of the corner of her eye.
Those words she said just now were not only directed at Shen Qiushu, in fact most of them were directed at Old Man Shen.
Having been married for so long, she knew at once that the idea of adopting a child must have been proposed by Old Man Shen.
This old bastard is very bad.
