"Li Meizi and her partner are so loving!"
"Yeah, her boyfriend's eyes are glued to her like they can be drawn...they are so disgusting."
"After all, they have only been married for a short time. Maybe the feelings will fade over time."
"I just saw when Li Meizi's boyfriend was serving her lunch, he held out his hand to protect her waist, as if he was afraid that someone would touch his wife. He really dotes on her."
"Just now I saw that when serving food, Li Meizi's partner put his hand on my wife's buttocks. Although it was just a light touch, it made me blush and my heart beat fast... Ouch..."
The sisters-in-law looked envious.
Not far away, Xuanxuan heard the conversation between her sisters-in-law and also looked towards Shen Li.
At this time, Lu Jingchuan was eating the crab roe rice fed by Shen Li. While the man was eating, his deep eyes were fixed on the little woman opposite him, and his eyes were full of tenderness.
The woman opposite had curved eyebrows and lips smiling softly, her smile was gentle and sweet, and the years were peaceful.
Xuanxuan looked at Shen Li and his wife with envy.
"Eat, eat, why are you looking around?" Xuanxuan's mother-in-law Li Xiumei glared at Xuanxuan in dissatisfaction.
Hearing this sharp scolding, Xuanxuan came to her senses like a frightened little rabbit, lowered her eyes and buried her head in eating.
But when she put it in her mouth, she no longer knew what it tasted like.
All I could think about was the love between Shen Li and her husband.
This is the married life she wants...
Xuanxuan raised her wet eyes and looked at the man opposite her.
At this time, Ji Qingping just glanced at her indifferently, said nothing, and continued to eat slowly.
The look in her eyes was indifferent.
As if she was just a familiar stranger.
But they have been together day and night for three years.
The mother-in-law's scolding continued, "You don't know how to stand or sit properly all day long. You look around while eating. You don't look like a lady from a wealthy family at all."
"If it were Xuezhi, she wouldn't be like you. She is a real lady from a wealthy family. Only a lady from a wealthy family is worthy of my son."
Her voice was not too loud, but loud enough for everyone around to hear.
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around looked towards Xuanxuan again.
Those strange, inquiring gazes fell on Xuanxuan. She felt as if those gazes were the sharpest, piercing her fiercely.
This time, she lowered her eyes, her slender white hands tightly grasped the chopsticks, and she didn't know where she got the courage from, she whispered back, "But Su Xuezhi broke up with your son. You wanted her to be your daughter-in-law, but she didn't want to marry your son."
She said this in a very low voice. This was the bravest thing Xuanxuan had ever mustered up the courage to say in her life.
But Li Xiumei heard it clearly. Her face changed suddenly, and she slammed the table, picked up a cup of hot water on the table and splashed it directly on Xuanxuan's face, "Say it to me again if you dare!"
In an instant, the hot water burned on the skin, and Xuanxuan's skin turned red.
She stood up suddenly in surprise and wiped the hot water off her face. Her makeup was a little smudged, and her eyeliner had smudged into a black mass under her eyes. She raised her eyes, but met the cold and distant eyes of the man opposite her.
"Qingping..." Xuanxuan's voice trembled, and she sounded a little tearful.
"This is too much!" the sisters-in-law around said.
"Yeah, how could Xuanxuan's mother-in-law just splash her with hot water?"
"Xuanxuan's face was all red and swollen from the heat."
The sisters-in-law around were whispering.
"Lin Xuanxuan," Ji Qingping looked at Xuanxuan with cold eyes, "Apologize to mom."
Xuanxuan looked at him in disbelief, standing stiffly where she was.
"What did you say?" Xuanxuan's voice trembled and her eyes were filled with tears.
"I said, you should apologize." The man's voice was cold and deep, revealing a sense of oppression that did not allow for rejection.
Xuanxuan stared at him blankly, and smiled self-deprecatingly, tears falling from her eyes, "You don't care about me at all."
Ji Qingping frowned. He didn't know why, but when he saw Lin Xuanxuan crying just now, he felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart for a moment.
Xuanxuan laughed at herself, then turned around and ran out crying.
"Look at the good wife you married!" Li Xiumei's chest heaved with anger. "It's fine if she's disobedient to her mother-in-law, but she even dared to talk back! I just taught her a lesson, but she actually showed off in public and embarrassed me!"
"Mom, calm down." Ji Qingping poured a glass of water for Li Xiumei and said in a gentle voice.
"You, my daughter-in-law, are going to piss me off to death! I asked you to be with Xuezhi, but you had such a strong sense of self-esteem. You were so proud and refused to give in. As a result, that little girl Lin Xuanxuan took advantage of you!" Li Xiumei was furious. "This little girl came from the countryside. She finally got this opportunity, but she just climbed up the ladder! I asked you to give her some money to get rid of her, but you didn't listen and insisted on taking some responsibility. In the end, you married her. I'm so upset!"
"I guess you won't have to support me in my old age at this rate. I'm so mad at this little bitch that I'm going to die. How can I expect to live to old age? I'll live ten years less with such a daughter-in-law!" Li Xiumei said angrily.
Ji Qingping patted her back and helped her to smooth her back. "Mom, don't worry. I will make her apologize to you in the evening."
Li Xiumei snorted coldly.
…
Here, Shen Li noticed Xuan Xuan ran out crying, she looked at Lu Jingchuan, "Jingchuan, please take care of the two children, I'll go see what happened."
"Okay." Lu Jingchuan said, "I'll take care of the child. You can go ahead."
Shen Li stood up and followed him.
She saw Xuanxuan just ran out and ran all the way to the beach. Seeing Xuanxuan about to walk into the sea, Shen Li quickly chased after her. She hurriedly shouted, "Xuanxuan! Don't do anything stupid!"
The night was dim, and Xuanxuan's loose clothes were rustling in the wind. Her back looked so lonely and desolate.
She turned around, her face full of tears, but she managed a smile, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to do anything stupid, I just want to stay at the beach for a while."
Shen Li walked over and sat with Xuan Xuan on the soft golden sand beach by the sea.
The sea at night seems somewhat quiet, vast and deep.
Under the moonlight, the two people's figures were stretched very long.
Xuanxuan buried her face in her elbows, her shoulders shaking from crying.
Shen Li comforted him silently and handed him a tissue, "Wipe your face."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Xuanxuan took it and wiped the tears from her face.
"We are the same. You don't have to call me sister-in-law. You can just call me Lili." Shen Li said.
"Lili." Xuanxuan called out while choking with sobs.
"Can you tell me about yourself?" Shen Li looked at her with eyes that were softer than the moonlight. "You can tell me all your worries, sorrows, and negative emotions. You will feel much better after you say them out."
