He Guixiang was even more furious when she heard what Li Miaomiao said: "God damn it, they are not asking you to work, my daughter, whom the Li family raised with great difficulty and gave with such a large dowry, came to the Pei family to enjoy life, not to work!"
He Guixiang said this with confidence, and Li Miaomiao's sister-in-law Liao Xuemei felt guilty after hearing it.
You have to know that He Guixiang has completely different requirements for her daughters-in-law. No girl would not work after marrying into her husband's family.
He Guixiang's words made the Pei family look unhappy. It would be fine if Li Miaomiao really did any work, but she was as lazy as a pig, doing nothing but eating. How could He Guixiang have the nerve to say such a thing? Did she really want them to worship Li Miaomiao?!
"Mother-in-law, what you said is true. Our Pei family really hasn't treated her badly. Otherwise, ask her what she has done these days. She hasn't even cooked a meal. Mother-in-law, tell me honestly, which family's daughter-in-law doesn't have to work after marrying into their husband's family? It's our Pei family."
Although Old Mrs. Pei was afraid of the Li family, she was not a pushover. She was already dissatisfied with Li Miaomiao, and was annoyed by He Guixiang's words, so she couldn't help but speak.
"I don't care about other people's wives, but our Miaomiao is different. She is born with good fortune. Besides, before she married into your Pei family, you agreed to my conditions and promised to treat Miaomiao well, so I let Miaomiao marry into your family." He Guixiang was still righteous.
The corners of Old Mrs. Pei's mouth twitched. It was true that she had agreed to this at the beginning, but it was just a polite remark. She never thought that He Guixiang actually believed it. Did she really think her daughter was a fairy?
"Let's not talk about this. Let's talk about the scar on my daughter's forehead. What's going on? Pei Guoan is gone, and you let outsiders bully Miaomiao and her son like this. You have no conscience!"
Li Miaomiao watched He Guixiang lose her temper, and she was extremely impressed by the biological mother of this body. As expected, the old ladies in the countryside are more fierce than each other. Old Mrs. Pei is not as good as her mother.
Li Miaomiao found it quite interesting to watch He Guixiang showing off her power. However, she thought that she would have to stay in the Pei family in the future. Pei Yifan was still the grandson of the Pei family after all. Moreover, the system had issued a task for her to find Pei Guoan, so it was not a good time to go too far.
"Mom, this has nothing to do with them. I was too impulsive and got into a fight with someone."
Li Miaomiao took the responsibility of the matter and prevented He Guixiang from making things difficult for Old Mrs. Pei. After all, this was Pei Guoan's biological mother. If Pei Guoan came back in the future and knew that the Li family had treated his biological mother so harshly, even if he didn't settle the score with her and the Li family, he would probably feel a knot in his heart.
This is the male protagonist in the book who has a bug. He is a country bumpkin with no backing, but he can build a business empire. It shows how powerful he is. Even though Li Miaomiao has never seen him, she is still afraid of him.
"Miao Miao, Mom is just venting her anger on your behalf. Why are you still speaking up for the old Pei family? Haven't you been bullied enough by them?"
He Guixiang was a little weak in front of her daughter.
"Mom, look at what you said. We are all family. There is no need to vent our anger. Besides, this is Xiaofan's grandmother. She treats me very well on weekdays. I can't be ungrateful, right?" Li Miaomiao said with a smile, hugging He Guixiang's arm.
What He Guixiang couldn't stand the most was her little girl acting like a spoiled child. Seeing Li Miaomiao looking at her pleadingly, she finally stopped and didn't cause trouble for the Pei family anymore.
When Old Mrs. Pei saw this, she suddenly felt very relieved. Although the second son's wife seemed lazy and gluttonous, she was a very understanding person and knew that she was being good to her.
"Yes, mother-in-law, calm down. We are all family. How could we just stand by and watch Miaomiao get bullied? It's just that we were all working in the fields at the time, and when we rushed over, Miaomiao was already injured. But we didn't let the culprit go. Our daughter-in-law of the old Pei family is not someone who can be bullied by anyone. The second son is not here, but we two old guys are still here. No one can bully the second son's wife and her son!"
Old Mrs. Pei's statement was to appease He Guixiang and to keep Li Miaomiao in the Pei family. She hoped that the people in the Li family would not encourage Li Miaomiao to remarry because of how well they treated Li Miaomiao and her son.
"I like what my mother-in-law said. If you don't have enough manpower, you can just come to our Li family and call for help. If anyone dares to bully our Miaomiao, we will beat him to death!"
Zhou Fang stood there silently, listening to He Guixiang's words, and shrank her neck. Fortunately, the Li family didn't know about her fight with Li Miaomiao that day, otherwise she would be the one to be punished.
"In-laws, mother-in-law, now that everything has been explained clearly, I'd better ask the eldest and third daughters-in-law to go to the kitchen to make something to eat. I can't let you come all the way here hungry."
"No, no, it's really not necessary. We already had food when we came here this morning. How can we cause you any trouble?" Li Degui, who had been silent all this time, saw that He Guixiang had relaxed, so he spoke in a friendly manner, looking like a good old man.
"My dear relatives, my mother-in-law, my sisters-in-law and my brothers-in-law, please don't be polite to us. Although our Pei family is not rich, we can still afford this little bit of food." Old man Pei also said quickly.
"We are family and should keep our distance from each other. There's really no need for that. How can we be polite to our in-laws?" He Guixiang waved her hand, and was also very straightforward.
This behavior is much better than that of the eldest daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law's family. The people of the Li family never want to cause trouble to others. The old couple of the Pei family felt really comfortable and did not care about He Guixiang's picking on and impoliteness at the beginning. After all, they were also worried about their daughters.
Apart from being too partial to their daughter, there is really nothing wrong with the Li family.
"By the way, we brought some things here, why didn't you guys carry them in?" He Guixiang said to her sons after she finished finding fault.
Seeing the sons of Old Li carrying in two large sacks of things, the Pei family was surprised but did not show any special expression. After all, this had happened more than once or twice.
"My dear relatives, what are you doing? You're here, but why do you bring so many things with you?!"
"It's nothing. As long as you treat my daughter well, this little thing is nothing. We are happy to do it."
When He Guixiang said this, the other members of the Li family had the same expression. Even the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family, who was not from the same family, did not think that there was anything wrong with her mother-in-law subsidizing her married sister-in-law. After all, she had watched her sister-in-law grow up. The several boys she gave birth to were all bad boys, and she did not have a daughter. She felt sorry for this poor sister-in-law.
Pei Guoan is gone, and my sister-in-law has no one to rely on in the Pei family. If her family members don't support her more, she will be bullied to death.
