"Mom, are you up? Come over here and eat with us!"
Seeing her mother-in-law coming out, Liu Juan quickly stood up and prepared to go over and help her mother-in-law to sit down.
"mom!"
"aunt!"
Although they noticed at first glance that the old lady had a sullen face, Deng Yuliang, Ma Jiquan, Fan Huifang and Shen Xiaobei still called her politely.
It was just to give face to Liu Juan and Deng Yuliang.
The old lady ignored everyone and even shook aside the hand that Liu Juan wanted to help her over, refusing to let her help her.
"Mom, we have so many guests today, why don't you sit down and eat with us?"
"Yes, Auntie, come and sit down and eat together. Today's dish was made by my sister, she's a great cook!"
Seeing the awkward situation, Fan Huifang quickly spoke up to help everyone out.
However, the old lady glanced coldly at her and the dishes on the table, and ignored her or Liu Juan. Instead, she walked straight to the door of the main hall, leaning on her crutches, tapping heavily on the ground.
"What the hell is this old lady doing?"
At this moment, Shen Xiaobei and Kong Wanwan, who had always been at odds with each other, made the same sound in their hearts for the first time.
Why is Liu Juan's mother-in-law such a difficult person to get along with?
Before, Deng Yuliang told them that Liu Juan and her mother-in-law had always been as close as mother and daughter. Shen Xiaobei thought that her mother-in-law must be a virtuous woman like Liu Juan.
When I saw her today, it was completely different. This old lady was clearly an unkind and eccentric old woman.
"Oh, my poor son! Why did you leave so early? Leaving your mother and I alone in the world, and now our home has become another man's home! How did you let your mother and I live?"
"My poor son, why did you leave so early? Your wife is now married to someone else. How can I explain to you that you let your mother work in the fields in the future?"
"My poor son, why did you leave so early? If you were still here, your mother wouldn't have such a miserable life! My poor son..."
The old lady walked to the door with a cane, slowly sat down on the doorstep, and suddenly howled loudly.
The voice, the tone, the movements, the expression, were just like those of a professional mourner.
Shen Xiaobei and the others were simply stunned!
None of them had ever seen such a scene, and they had never expected that the old lady would suddenly do this in public.
The old lady's wailing soon attracted some neighbors and passers-by to watch.
"Mom, why are you doing this? How have I wronged you in these years? Haven't I always treated you like my own mother?"
"Today is my wedding day, why are you doing this to me? Didn't you promise me to marry Yuliang before? Wuwuwu..."
Liu Juan was the first to react. Her eyes instantly turned red and she ran over to question the old lady with great pain and sadness.
After questioning, she immediately broke down and burst into tears.
Shen Xiaobei, Deng Yuliang and the others then all walked to the door.
As soon as Deng Yuliang came over, he took Liu Juan into his arms with heartache, gently wiped the tears from her face, and patted her back lightly to comfort her.
"Mom, I know you don't like me very much, but I promise you that I will treat you as my own mother just like Juan'er in the future! Really, don't worry!"
"Oh, my poor son, why did you leave so early? If you were still here, your mother wouldn't have such a miserable life! My poor son——"
Liu Juan's mother-in-law ignored Liu Juan's sadness and Deng Yuliang's sincerity, and continued to sit at the gate crying for her, attracting more and more people to watch.
Judging from her posture, this old lady probably did it on purpose!
I just want to embarrass Liu Juan and Deng Yuliang today and make them feel unhappy.
They had such a bad day on their wedding day, it will definitely be easy for them to have a rift in the future because of this.
Once a rift arises in their hearts, it becomes uncertain whether the two people can get along for long!
Shen Xiaobei guessed that the old lady must have been too embarrassed to say it openly and didn’t want Liu Juan to find another man, so she nodded before, but in fact she was secretly planning to break them up in the future.
In this way, this family will still belong to her and her deceased son, and she, the mother-in-law, will still be the most powerful person in the family.
What a selfish and calculating old lady!
Seeing that Liu Juan and Deng Yuliang were so honest and kind, one cried sadly and the other made promises humbly, but the old lady did not care about their feelings and face and continued to cry.
Shen Xiaobei was so furious watching from the side.
She took a step closer to the old lady and said in a cold tone, "Auntie, today is Brother Deng and Sister Liu Juan's wedding day. They both call you 'Mom' so respectfully, but you are here crying for your dead son. Do you think this is appropriate?"
"Do you think that because you're older, they deserve to give in to you, letting you act like a fool, ruining their wedding day and making them sad? After all, a daughter-in-law's tears aren't as precious as your mother-in-law's, right?"
"Auntie, you've lived to such an old age. Logically, you should understand better than us young people that we should be empathetic!"
"Since you were so cruel to Brother Deng and Sister Liu Juan today, it wouldn't be too much if they stopped calling you "Mom" and even just ignored you altogether, moved away and lived on their own, and never had anything to do with you again. Isn't that right, aunts and sisters?"
