Chapter 173 Conflict breaks out
Li Yinshuang felt bad watching her daughter flee.
She turned around and looked at her mother-in-law inside. She had already treated the house as her own and was touching here and there.
She is just like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, very ignorant.
Due to the extent of her daughter-in-law's mischief, Li Yinshuang could only take a deep breath and choose to endure it.
As soon as she entered the door, she heard her mother-in-law say, "My dear, I heard from Du Juan that your clothes are all beautiful, the materials are good, and the styles are not old-fashioned."
"My son is getting married next month, so I want to borrow a couple of clothes from you to help him get married."
When Li Yinshuang heard the words "borrowing clothes to attend her son's wedding", she was so shocked that she got goose bumps all over her body.
She suppressed her nausea and agreed with a smile, "Okay, I'll go get you two and show you."
After saying that, Li Yinshuang walked into the room, opened the wardrobe, and was not satisfied no matter what she chose.
Except for the work clothes, everything else is her treasure and she is reluctant to part with any of them.
But not taking it was not an option, so Li Yinshuang could only grit her teeth and take two pieces of clothes with picky colors, hoping that the other party would give up.
A purple coat and a burgundy tweed coat.
She observed that her in-laws' skin color was yellowish, and wearing this would only be a disaster.
This is Li Yinshuang's thinking, not anyone else's.
Mei's mother touched the coat lovingly and couldn't choose any one for a moment. It was as if her eyes were glued to the clothes.
Li Yinshuang noticed that there was black mud between Mei's mother's fingernails.
Thinking of the two pieces of clothing that she had touched all over, Li Yinshuang's tone was tinged with disdain, "Why don't you just take both of them and don't give them back to me."
"Really? Then I won't be polite with you." Mei's mother snatched the clothes and held them tightly in her arms.
Li Yinshuang's face froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
It happened that Xia Jinkuo and Xia Guoqing both came back from get off work. When they saw Mei Dujuan bringing her parents over for dinner, Xia Jinkuo greeted them.
Based on the time they have spent together, the only person in the Xia family who would talk to Mei Dujuan is Xia Guoqing.
Li Yinshuang and Xia Jinkuo both had very cold attitudes and only spoke a few words occasionally.
Mei's mother and father didn't care at all. As soon as the dishes were served, they started eating.
After a few drinks, Mei's father kept saying, "You capitalists did this and that in the past. You never thought that my daughter would marry a capitalist. If it had happened in the past, she would have been beaten to death." He kept saying this and that.
Xia Jinkuo's patience was almost reaching its limit.
Even the good-tempered Xia Guoqing couldn't stand it.
Mei Dujuan saw that her father was in trouble, and hurried to pull him away, "Dad, you've drunk too much, stop talking nonsense!"
"What did I say wrong? They were capitalists before, but they didn't allow people to say that?" Mei's father said with a big tongue, "My daughter asked you for a dowry of 300 yuan, which is still too little. Your family can definitely pay 30,000 yuan."
Snap——
Xia Jinkuo could no longer bear it and slammed his chopsticks on the table, making a loud noise.
"My dear, your words are a bit too much. After all, we are also a nation, not just capitalists. We have made contributions to China. Don't use stereotypes to discredit our family."
Xia Jinkuo had lived for almost fifty years, and it was rare for him to be humiliated like this.
This is no longer an era where status is important. This is a truth that everyone knows. However, this relative-in-law didn't understand it and embarrassed him in front of the younger generation.
Mr. Mei was a little sober now. He stared with eyes wide open, not expecting Xia Jinkuo to get angry.
"Since you look down on our family so much, and we also look down on yours, it would be better for the two children to get divorced."
These words were spoken by Li Yinshuang.
She also took what was said just now to heart.
If they don't have any temper, they would really be soft persimmons.
"Mom and Dad, what about the child?" Xia Guoqing wanted to agree with his parents, but Mei Dujuan was pregnant now, so this problem was not so easy to solve.
When the Mei family saw the Xia family forming a united front, the three of them panicked instantly.
Mei's mother slapped her husband on the back and said, "Nonsense, I'm just drunk and talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously, mother-in-law."
"Mom and Dad, I'm pregnant with your Xia family's child. Is divorce too serious? My dad just got drunk and said a few drunken words."
Li Yinshuang made up her mind.
"Du Juan, since you came to our house, Yaoyao has also moved out. She is my flesh and blood, and now she has to look at your faces when she comes back. How can I, as a mother, feel good about this?"
Originally, Li Yinshuang felt that she had treated Xia Yaoyao unfairly.
She had lived a hard life outside for such a long time, and she didn't enjoy a good life after coming back, but fortunately the family is together.
Now because of a daughter-in-law, the house doesn’t feel like home anymore and the atmosphere is depressing every day.
This kind of life is too depressing, and Li Yinshuang has had enough.
"She wanted to move out. What does it have to do with me?" Mei Dujuan felt guilty when she said this.
She looked at Xia Guoqing, "Guoqing, are you mute? Speak!"
The plan was originally for the family to have a good time together, but when Xia Guoqing returned home and saw his difficult father-in-law and mother-in-law, he was overwhelmed.
His mood suddenly became much worse.
Just now he heard his mother talking about divorce, which made Xia Guoqing's eyes light up, and he had the illusion that a new life was waving at him.
"My mother and I have the same idea. We can wait until the child is born before getting a divorce."
Snap——
A crisp slapping sound was heard, and it was Mei's father who reached out and slapped Xia Guoqing.
"You beast, how can you say such things? Is this still human language?"
A slap mark appeared on Xia Guoqing's face.
Mei Dujuan was surprised and looked at her father and husband in confusion, her eyes wandering between the two.
"Dad! How could you hit someone?!"
Mei Dujuan quickly put her hand on Xia Guoqing's face and asked with concern, "Guoqing, does it hurt?"
Li Yinshuang was eager to protect her son, so she said coldly, "Nonsense, or I'll slap you and see if it hurts."
"The capitalists are so outrageous that they even beat up their pregnant daughter-in-law. If you do that, I'll see if you dare to touch even a hair of my daughter!"
Father Mei's face turned red and he glared at Li Yinshuang fiercely, as if he would attack her at any time.
Li Yinshuang was frightened.
Xia Jinkuo stood in front of his wife and said, "If you want to go crazy after drinking, get out of here. It's not enough that you beat up my son, you want to beat up my wife too, right?"
The neighbors outside who heard the noise gathered at the door of Xia's house to watch the excitement.
"What's going on? Even though the Xia family has such good tempers, they still get angry with others?"
"It sounds like a fight broke out. Who was beaten and who wanted to beat whom?"
There was a lot of discussion outside, and it was just as chaotic inside.
"Mom and Dad, calm down and stop arguing." Mei Dujuan tried to reconcile them in a panic and hurriedly stood in the middle.
Xia Jinkuo pointed to the door and said, "You are not welcome in our home. Please leave."
Alcohol gave him courage, and Father Mei spoke out everything that was in his heart.
"This is my son-in-law's home. When you die, these things will belong to my son-in-law. In the end, they still belong to my daughter. Why should I leave?"
