Li Tingxue, who was standing by, seemed a little uneasy. She cautiously glanced at the changes in Jiang Mianmian's expression, then gently called out, "Mother..."
Hearing the eldest daughter-in-law's cry, Jiang Mianmian finally came back to his senses and turned to look at Li Tingxue, his eyes revealing a hint of complicated emotions:
"Why? Are you worried that I will abandon my husband and children like other women?"
"Humph, those stinky men are indeed not good guys, but I am different from them, I am a poor widow!
Alas, even if I really want to abandon my husband, I still need a husband for me to abandon, right? The most I can do now is abandon a son."
When the word "widow" came out of Jiang Mianmian's mouth, the voice was unusually loud, as if it was something worth showing off.
However, in sharp contrast, Li Tingxue, a married woman with children, has become the "shameful" existence and is even labeled "useless" by Jiang Mianmian.
Li Tingxue quickly said, "Mother, although people often say that all crows are black, not all men are so despicable after all!
Look at your sons, they are all very reliable and ruthless! You raised them to adulthood, and each of them is so outstanding.
Not only do they have a sense of responsibility, they also have the ability. They would definitely not do such despicable acts as "calculating" women and treating them as reproductive tools... "
The reason why Li Tingxue went to such great lengths to speak well of the men in the Shen family was that she was really worried that Jiang Mianmian was upset by the recent breakups.
What if Jiang Mianmian, in a fit of impulse, not only wants to sever the mother-son relationship with Gu Yunchen, but also wants to sever the relationship with her other sons as well? That would be a serious problem.
After all, her mother-in-law no longer has anyone who can control her. If she really goes crazy, I'm afraid no one can stop her.
Jiang Mianmian curled her lips and said jokingly, "Haha, no wonder you gave birth to five children for the eldest brother in one go. You really are a complete love-brained person!"
Hearing this, Li Tingxue couldn't help but chuckle and said coquettishly, "Mother, please don't talk nonsense! How can I be called a love-brained person? This is clearly a 'two-way love', okay!
You know, if your son wasn't interested in me, how could I possibly marry him willingly? I'm not stupid. Marriage is such a big deal, how could I marry anyone I just casually find?
"Chen Xiuyan, but he is my first choice for a husband, and he is not some rag-and-bone find, so of course I have to pick the best!"
As she spoke, Li Tingxue's face was filled with a happy smile, and she continued to praise, "In the final analysis, it's still you, mother, who is amazing. You are especially good at educating your son! Look, which other family's son can be raised as outstandingly as ours?
No matter whether it came out of your own belly or not, everyone who sees it will respectfully recognize you as their mother, right?
Look at other families. Oh my god, not to mention those bastards and illegitimate children, even legitimate brothers and sisters can fight each other to the point of bloodshed for such a tiny thing.
That scene was simply unbearable to watch! Fortunately, I was lucky enough not to marry into such a filthy family, otherwise, I would have suffered a great loss! "
"The 'other family' you're referring to, are you referring to the Xi family?"
You know, the ups and downs of the Xi family have been a hot topic in the capital in recent days!
Especially the issue of sisters fighting for one husband has become a laughing stock and a hot topic in teahouses and restaurants on the streets.
At this moment, apart from the notorious Xi family, Jiang Mianmian really couldn't think of any other family that could make such a scandal so big and known to everyone.
Li Tingxue smiled faintly and responded nonchalantly, "I didn't say it was their family. After all, there are many families where this kind of thing happens, and people just treat it as a joke!
You see, harmonious families like ours have become a rarity."
“Look at every family’s property, no matter how big or small, is there anyone who has not had disputes over it?
Take our second son, for example. He left home when he was just over a decade old to venture out into the world. He had already agreed that if he couldn't make it out there, he would return home and study.
Hey, who would have thought that the second brother seemed to be blessed by God. He has already made a name for himself in the business world at such a young age and his business is thriving.
The assets under his own name alone are already quite substantial, so how could he possibly have the energy to return home and fight for those assets?"
After a brief pause, Li Tingxue continued to talk, "Besides, after you adopted the third brother, he also relied on his own strong abilities to carve out a bright future for himself. He will definitely have a bright future!
That leaves only the fourth and fifth children. The fourth child is still studying at the academy, and I think he will have a bright future.
If he is willing to inherit the family business of the Marquis in the end, then we, as his brothers and sisters-in-law, will definitely support him.
Speaking of the fifth child, she is also a unique person. She has no interest in getting married and is obsessed with painting all day long. The paintbrush is her everything.
But it doesn't matter. As long as she is still a member of our Shen family, we brothers and sisters-in-law will naturally do our best to take care of her and support her for the rest of her life."
“And my biggest wish now is that Shen Xiuyan can resign from his post and return home as soon as possible.
This way, he can help take care of the children at home, and Xiuyan and I can accompany our mother with peace of mind and enjoy a leisurely and comfortable old age in advance..."
"No, how old are you and the eldest brother? You are already thinking about retirement?!" Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Oh, no! I wonder if you two are a little too impatient?" Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in surprise, "You and the boss are not even thirty years old yet!
Why are you already thinking about retirement? Isn't it a little too early? Someone like me, who is nearly 50 years old, often feels young and not old!
Whatever, you have to wait until you are over 40, right?
