Not to mention Zhou Fang, even Chen Xuexiang felt a little jealous when she saw how supportive Li Miaomiao's family was. Why didn't they have such a good family? Even if their family couldn't treat Li Miaomiao as well as she did, at least they shouldn't be a drag on her. That's fate.
"Mom, I'm doing well in the Pei family. My parents-in-law treat me very well and are also very good to Xiaofan. Don't bring so many things every time. I have a brother and sister-in-law at home. We have a big family to live too."
"Our family is well-off, and your brothers are quite successful. This little thing is nothing. They are all willing to give it to their sisters. As for your sister-in-law, she is not satisfied with the good life she has after marrying into our Li family. If she dares to talk nonsense, don't blame me for sending her back to her parents' home!"
He Guixiang said this domineeringly, and even Li Miaomiao's mouth twitched. How biased was her own mother?
However, there is one thing He Guixiang said that was not wrong. The Li family was well-off and the sons were all promising. Life was indeed easier if one married into the Li family. Therefore, the daughters-in-law of the Li family did not dare to go against He Guixiang and could only behave themselves. Otherwise, if He Guixiang got angry, she might really make her sons and daughters-in-law divorce.
When He Guixiang said this, Li Miaomiao glanced at Li's eldest sister-in-law, fearing that she would feel resentful about this.
After all, in rural areas of this era, the old couple will live with their eldest son in the future. If Liao Xuemei holds a grudge and treats the old couple badly in the future, that would not be what Li Miaomiao wants to see.
Although she was not the original owner and it was her first time meeting the Li family, she could feel the love and care that the old couple and her brothers showed her.
She couldn't stand other people being nice to her, especially the old couple from the Li family who were kind to her wholeheartedly without any ulterior motive. Naturally, she had to consider the old couple's needs.
However, Li Miaomiao didn't expect that Liao Xuemei just smiled after hearing this, and didn't seem to mind, or she didn't show it on her face.
Perhaps Li Miaomiao's thoughts were too obvious. Liao Xuemei smiled and took her sister-in-law's hand. "That's just the way Mom is. She has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even though she says that, she treats us daughters-in-law well. I'm not ungrateful, so how can I become estranged from Mom over this?"
"Sister-in-law is such a perceptive person. It is a blessing for our Li family and my eldest brother to marry such a daughter-in-law."
After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Liao Xuemei was a little surprised, but she was happy to see the change in her sister-in-law. After all, being a daughter-in-law is not an easy thing. The old lady of the Pei family is different from her own mother-in-law. She looks mean and maybe she has many tricks up her sleeve.
"This little one has such a sweet mouth. It seems our Miao Miao has grown a lot."
Li Miaomiao's heart tightened, fearing Liao Xuemei would notice something. She deliberately spoke with some sadness, "Guoan is gone. If I don't improve, how will I live in the future?"
Liao Xuemei had no doubt that after experiencing such a thing, who could not change?
"Big brother, take one bag of these to your sister's room, and one bag to the kitchen for your in-laws."
He Guixiang was just worried about her daughter, but she wasn't stupid. If she gave all these things to the Pei family, her precious daughter and grandson would only get a few more bites of food. So she divided everything in half, giving half to the Pei family and keeping the other half for her daughter.
This way, his daughter can enjoy a snack on a daily basis, and the people in the Pei family won't say anything.
The people in the Li family are actually very knowledgeable about the ways of the world.
"Really, no need, in-laws, we won't let the second son's wife suffer any loss."
"I know you won't let my daughter down, but this is a small token of our gratitude. Miaomiao has such a big scar on her forehead. She lost so much blood back then, so it needs to be healed properly."
"In that case, send all the things to the second son's wife." Old man Pei was a man who cared about his reputation and didn't want people to say that he coveted his daughter-in-law's family's things.
"No, no, I specially divided it into two portions. One portion is enough for Miaomiao to eat. If it's not enough, I can have someone send more."
He Guixiang understood the ways of the world, but she was worried that her precious daughter would not be comfortable living in the Pei family.
Li Miaomiao glanced at Pei Guotai and Zhou Fang and saw that both of them had greedy expressions on their faces, their eyes fixed on the things sent by Old Li's family. If she let the eldest wife be more tolerant of her because of this, it would not be good. Then when would they be able to divide the family?
The corners of his mouth curled up: "Mom, my father-in-law said so, so just send the things to my room. Didn't you say I'm thinner, so it's a good time to eat more to replenish my body."
He Guixiang didn't expect her daughter to say such a thing. The smile on her face froze and she felt a little worried. This silly girl only thought about eating and didn't understand the ways of the world at all.
Originally, Old Man Pei was waiting for the Li family to say a few words before expressing his reluctance to accept it. However, after hearing what Li Miaomiao said, he felt a little speechless.
But no matter what he thought in his heart, Old Man Pei did not show it on his face. Instead, he agreed and said, "Second son's wife is right. Let's carry all the things to her room."
With Li Miaomiao's words in mind, Old Man Pei would never accept the things sent by the Li family.
Seeing the Li family deliver two large sacks of things to Li Miaomiao's room, the Pei family had their own thoughts, but none of them would be too happy.
Even Old Mrs. Pei felt very uncomfortable. The second son's wife was too selfish. She didn't even look at her as her mother-in-law, let alone other people.
The men were talking in the main room, while He Guixiang and Liao Xuemei took Li Miaomiao to her room.
"My silly girl, what were you doing just now? Although you have our family to support you, you will be living in the Pei family in the future, so you have to think more about it. If you do this, it will not only be okay for your sisters-in-law, but your mother-in-law will feel uncomfortable." He Guixiang pulled Li Miaomiao aside and explained the reason in detail.
Li Miaomiao listened, not understanding what she was saying, but it was hard to say that she was doing it on purpose to displease the Pei family, so she imitated the original owner's temperament and said, "They are all bad. Why do they deserve to eat our Li family's food? Ever since Pei Guoan passed away, the eldest wife has been bullying me, especially Zhou Fang. She still wants to eat our Li family's good things, no way!"
"You are really, you still have this kind of personality!" He Guixiang shook her head
"Well, if you don't want to, forget it. You won't stay in the Pei family forever anyway." He Guixiang thought about it and didn't force Li Miaomiao anymore.
"Mom, what do you mean by that?" Li Miaomiao clearly heard something else from He Guixiang's words.
"Pei Guoan is gone, and you're still very young. You can't live like a widow your whole life. Mom will find you a good one, and you can live a good life in the future."
