Li Chenyang knew his wife would definitely hear him, and he was about to say a few good words for his mother. It was always like this; he thought he could persuade his wife and everything would be fine.
Unexpectedly, when his wife saw him come in, she didn't even look at him, but pulled him away and walked out.
Ye Xiaoxiao strode into the yard, put her hands on her hips, and faced her father-in-law and mother-in-law who were still eating.
At this moment, because she had taken the health-enhancing pills, her body was full of strength, and her aura was in no way inferior.
"Mom, you're amazing!"
I was pregnant and working hard in the fields under the scorching sun. Even when I fainted, I didn't rest. I got up and cooked for the whole family.
You're so naive. The moment you get back, you suspect me of cheating. Do you think I'm that kind of person?
"If you're so prone to suspicion, why don't you become a police officer?"
Ye Xiaoxiao's voice was loud and clear, and every word was distinct.
Liu Juan was startled by her sudden action. Had her daughter-in-law gone mad? She had said a lot about her before, so why was she acting so fiercely today?
Liu Juan's face turned pale and then flushed.
"How... how can you speak to your elders like that?"
"An elder? Do you act like an elder? I've attacked our home, have I had a single day of rest?"
What else can you do besides nitpicking? You're so upset about me using a little oil, why don't you just cook for yourself?
Look at the food you cooked! Even a pig might not like it!
Ye Xiaoxiao became more and more excited as she spoke, showing no sign of stopping.
"You ill-mannered brat!" Liu Juan was so angry that she trembled all over and raised her hand to hit Ye Xiaoxiao.
Ye Xiaoxiao reacted quickly and grabbed her mother-in-law's wrist.
"You want to hit someone? Come on, hit me here!"
Ye Xiaoxiao grabbed Liu Juan's hand and pressed it against her watermelon-sized belly. Liu Juan was so frightened that she kept pulling her hand back.
At this moment, the system's voice rang in Ye Xiaoxiao's mind:
"Task completed, reward five yuan."
Ye Xiaoxiao glared at her mother-in-law, her mind already filled with curses:
[What kind of system are you? I haven't even finished complaining, and you've already finished?]
If the system had hands, it would be sweating by now. Luckily, I reacted quickly, otherwise I don't know how much of a reward I would have given it.
[The old man is getting on in years, host. I'm doing this for your own good. Don't make him angry to death.]
"Old Li, aren't you going to do anything about this? Look at this daughter-in-law! She's so shrewish! I'm her mother-in-law! Does she want me to live a normal life?!"
Liu Juan didn't dare to lay a hand on Ye Xiaoxiao because Ye Xiaoxiao was carrying their family's eldest grandson.
This was the first time Li Jianguo had ever seen his daughter-in-law lose her temper, and he was momentarily stunned.
Seeing Liu Juan sit down on the ground, about to cry and make a scene, he immediately yelled:
"Enough, all of you shut up! You'll make yourselves a laughingstock!"
Although Li Jianguo is only in his fifties, he is quite well-known in the village. He is the chief steward of any wedding or funeral in the surrounding villages.
At this point, not to mention that Ye Xiaoxiao was pregnant with her own grandson, she dared not let them cause trouble at home.
"Xiaoxiao, stop fooling around!"
Li Chenyang never expected that his wife would deal with his mother so easily.
I felt really conflicted. On one hand, it was my own mother, and on the other hand, it was my wife.
"Apologize to Mom!"
Li Chenyang quickly helped his mother up. He also glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao, giving her a meaningful look, signaling her not to go too far.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts..."
Seeing that she had already gotten her comeuppance and the reward, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately pretended to have a stomachache again.
Startled, Li Chenyang dropped his mother-in-law, whom he had just helped up, and immediately helped Ye Xiaoxiao up as well.
"How are you? Why does it hurt?"
Li Chenyang also thought that this might be an act, but Ye Xiaoxiao's forehead was covered in sweat because the sun was too strong and it was hot.
Her face turned pale again. [That's because the beauty-enhancing fruit is starting to take effect.] How could she not be scared?
"Ouch, it hurts, my stomach hurts. I must be angry, and the baby is angry too... Ouch... Please take me to the doctor..."
Ye Xiaoxiao was immediately picked up by Li Chenyang and carried to Wang Ping's house, which was just a few houses away.
At this point, Li Jianguo was no longer concerned about his daughter-in-law arguing with her mother-in-law.
He immediately followed Li Chenyang there. This was the eldest grandson of the Li family. He valued him highly.
Liu Juan was about to lash out when her son tripped her and ran off with his wife in his arms, leaving no trace of the old man.
He had to get up by himself. Immediately, he heard his sons laughing from inside the house.
"The eldest brother is holding his sister-in-law."
The sixth brother nudged the fifth brother. The two exchanged glances, finding it quite unusual to see a man hugging a woman.
"Hmph, you two idiots, your sister-in-law is your brother's wife, who else would your brother hug if not your sister-in-law?" The fourth brother pretended to know a lot.
"Go away, you bunch of good-for-nothings! Didn't you see your sister-in-law bullying your mother? You're all just holed up in the house watching the show! You're all ungrateful wretches!"
Liu Juan slammed her hand on the table angrily, ordering the bunch of brats to come and clean up the mess.
"Mom, you're always provoking your sister-in-law. What if she stops cooking?"
The second and third brothers exchanged glances and started talking about their mother. "Mom's cooking is such a waste of food," they said.
Ye Xiaoxiao was taken to Dr. Wang, where she was examined and asked what she had done that day.
This led to a conclusion:
"It's nothing, I'm just probably tired. Brother Li, pregnant women should receive some special treatment."
This means, don't always expect a pregnant woman to do this or that.
"Oh, I see. Should I get some medicine or something?"
Li Chenyang is quite protective of his wife. He finally got married at 25, and it's all his fault for not taking good enough care of her.
