It has to be said that the treatment of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Si family is really quite good. No wonder so many women are eager to squeeze into the Si family.
Su Niannian is not a saint; it would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.
However, she was also well aware of how flawed her marriage with Si Lijue was.
Su Niannian said with a troubled expression, "Dad, Mom, this... I feel unworthy of your kindness. I don't deserve it."
Mrs. Si said with a reproachful look, "What nonsense are you talking about! Niannian, if you feel unworthy of these things, then no one in this world deserves them."
We're family, no need for so much formality!
Father Si quickly chimed in, "That's right, that's right, Niannian, don't be shy with us! Take whatever we give you without worry. And don't be polite with your parents, okay?"
In my opinion, these things are nothing but external possessions; you can't take them with you when you're born, and you can't take them with you when you die.
So, your mother and I have already discussed it. After we pass away, all our family property will be left to you and Li Jue and the other young people.
Unable to refute what Si's father and mother said, Su Niannian could only turn to Si Lijue for help.
Giving away 10% of the shares so readily, isn't that a huge gift?
His parents were incredibly generous.
It seems that the two elders truly regard her as the Si family's daughter-in-law.
Unfortunately... she won't be a daughter-in-law for long.
"What are you standing there for? Your parents gave you something, aren't you going to thank them?"
Si Lijue seemed to see what she was thinking, and his handsome face darkened visibly.
Seeing her son's displeased expression, Si's mother immediately began to reprimand him by name: "Si Lijue, how dare you speak to Niannian like that? Let me tell you, you are not allowed to bully her, otherwise, I will not let you off the hook."
Seeing his mother lose her temper, Si Lijue shut up and said nothing more.
Seeing how enthusiastic the Si family was, and with Si Lijue also speaking up, Su Niannian knew that if she refused again, she would seem too pretentious.
Having no other choice, she could only thank Mr. and Mrs. Si: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom! I'll keep these shares for now, and give them to Lili and Lijue when they need them."
"What's given to you is yours. You're free to give these shares to whomever you want later. Your father and I won't interfere." Mrs. Si was quite open-minded and easygoing.
Before Su Niannian could answer, she smiled and continued to advise, "However, it's best for us women to have something on hand. Don't give away these treasured items unless absolutely necessary."
These days, men are unreliable, and sincerity is worthless. Only these tangible things are our best support as women.
When Si's father and Si Lijue heard Si's mother say, "Men are unreliable, and sincerity is even less valuable," both of them looked rather displeased.
Mr. Si wanted to refute his wife, but he was afraid of angering her. He moved his lips a few times, but in the end, he didn't dare to say anything.
Si Lijue ignored his mother and turned his face away unhappily.
Su Niannian knew that her mother-in-law's words were all for her own good, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She said gratefully, "Yes, Mom, I will remember your advice."
Seeing how well-behaved and sensible Su Niannian was, Mrs. Si was even happier.
She reached out and took Su Niannian's hand, her eyes full of heartache, and said softly, "Niannian, Li Jue has a rather strange temper and a physical defect. You must have suffered a lot of grievances while you were with him."
Actually, your dad and I both know... It must have been really hard on you.
But don't worry! We've already contacted a renowned urologist abroad, and they'll be arriving in Kyoto in the next couple of days.
"We'll have Li Jue receive comprehensive treatment to help him recover as quickly as possible, so as not to disrupt your happy life."
Even if Su Niannian was slow-witted, she could tell at this moment that when Si's mother said that Si Lijue had a physical defect, she meant that he was sexually frigid and disliked women getting close to him.
The thought of Si Lijue's misogyny made Su Niannian feel guilty, and she quickly lowered her head.
In the eyes of Si's father, Si's mother, and Si Lijue, Su Niannian bowing her head was an admission of the matter.
Si's father and mother exchanged a glance, their resolve to treat their son's incurable illness strengthened.
"I'm not sick!" Si Lijue coldly uttered three words, his eyes burning with anger as he stared at Su Nian's thoughts.
“You child, if you’re sick, you need to get treatment. How can you avoid seeing a doctor?” Si’s mother rolled her eyes at Si Lijue without hesitation and scolded him lightly: “Even if you don’t think about yourself, you should think about Nian Nian.”
She's still young; we can't let her live like a widow every day!
Si Lijue: "..."
Seeing that her temporary mother-in-law had openly revealed Si Lijue's previously hidden illness, Su Niannian felt it was necessary to do something for him.
After all, a man's face and self-esteem are of utmost importance.
If he loses face in front of her, she'll lose her job, and her life might even be in danger.
So she took a deep breath, slowly raised her head, and mustered her courage to say, "Mom, to be honest, actually... I'm really fine."
If Li Jue doesn't want to receive treatment, please don't force him.
For me, as long as he can stay by my side safe and healthy, that's enough; nothing else matters.
Mother Si looked at her understanding and righteous daughter-in-law with satisfaction, and held her hand even tighter, as if she was afraid that she would lose her if she let go.
She said in a slightly trembling voice, "Good child, I know you love my son deeply and are devoted to him."
Don't worry, even if it costs Mom everything and I have to pay any price, I will definitely cure him of this habit of hating women! I will absolutely not let you suffer the slightest grievance..."
As she finished speaking, her voice choked up, her eyes gradually welled up with tears, and they uncontrollably slid down her cheeks.
She felt terrible whenever she thought about her son's impotence.
"..." Si Lijue sat on the sofa speechlessly, his handsome but cold face extremely ugly.
He couldn't understand where his mother had heard such nonsense.
When did he develop misogyny?
Are you kidding me!
He just doesn't like women throwing themselves at him, how did that become a disease?
I clearly don't have any extreme aversion to women; it's just a matter of personal preference and habit. Yet, it's been spread like this, which is truly infuriating.
What's even more infuriating is that Su Niannian actually looked at him the same way, making him feel both angry and aggrieved.
The more he thought about it, the more absurd and ridiculous it seemed. His brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes. Before he could speak, he heard the voices of the people in front of him again.
"Mom, why are you crying? I really don't care about any of this."
