Actually, the meal was already unsettling before Su Peipei returned. Li Qin was uncomfortable and spoke sarcastically, making what should have been a joyful occasion quite awkward.
Now that Su Peipei had made her point clear, Li Qin became even more unscrupulous.
"Li Qin, you should speak with your conscience. How have we been bad to Daming?" Liu Cuihua was furious. She regretted marrying this daughter-in-law so much. She was a troublemaker who tried to sow discord between her and her son. She hated her to death.
Li Qin's eyes were filled with mockery, and she didn't hold back with her words, "Fine, very fine. Helping him scheme against his father-in-law, getting a wife and a job for free, it's really very good."
"Xiaoqin, why are you bringing this up again?" Su Ming's face was a mix of emotions, from frustration and anger to deep distress and confusion.
"Why can't I mention it? My dad gave you the job, that's all. I'm his only daughter, and he's dedicated his whole life to us."
But now you're the only one working to support our family of five. We don't even dare to have a second child, for fear that we won't be able to afford to raise them and life will become even harder.
But what about your parents and grandparents? They spent a thousand yuan to buy your second brother a job—such a big thing—did they even tell us? No.
If no one had told me, we would still be in the dark. If they hadn't schemed against my dad and had instead bought you a legitimate job, our family wouldn't be struggling like this…”
Li Qin had a lot of grievances to share, enough to talk for a whole day and night. Su Ming listened in silence, clearly also resenting his parents.
“Li Qin, do you have any conscience? Our family really didn’t have the means back then, otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation. Over the years, you’ve taken away the son I raised with so much effort, and you’ve only been devoted to your parents, like a son-in-law who’s moved into your family’s home. I’ve only seen my grandson five times a year, and we’ve accepted it all without a second thought. What more do you want from us?”
“Isn’t this all your own doing? And you’re asking me what I want? I want you to treat everyone equally. Now that I’ve spent a thousand to buy my second brother a job, you either buy me a job too, or give us a thousand.”
The moment those words were spoken, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
“You’re crazy. That’s a thousand. Besides, this money is your second uncle’s compensation, it’s for your grandparents.” Liu Cuihua’s eyes glanced at Grandma Su.
Actually, she was also thinking about how to trick the old lady out of her money.
The eldest daughter-in-law's move presents an opportunity, but even if it succeeds, it won't end up in her hands. Instead, it will go to her son, and the eldest son's family will get it. Oh dear, I'm a bit conflicted. Should I help the eldest daughter-in-law...?
Grandma Su sneered, knowing perfectly well what was going on. She said coldly, "We two old folks aren't dead yet, it's not time to divide the inheritance. Old man, let's go. As expected, no feast is ever a good feast."
"Grandma, are you showing favoritism too? Daming is the eldest grandson," Li Qin protested stubbornly.
"Hey, Mother, don't go! This matter hasn't been resolved yet!" Liu Cuihua also got up to stop her.
"Get out of here, you brainless idiot!" Grandma Su was also angry, because of this family of troublemakers.
"Mom, let's talk this out, don't go." Su Dayong tried to persuade his mother when he saw her getting angry.
"Don't stop me... ah..."
In the scuffle, Grandma Su was pushed to the ground.
"Old woman, you bastards, get out of here!" Grandpa Su finally lost his temper when he saw his daughter-in-law being pushed down by these unfilial children.
