Ruan Yunxi was shocked: This Miao Huahua looks just like my mother-in-law, especially her eyes, which are exactly the same. If you didn't know better, you would think they were mother and daughter!
When Miao Huahua saw Ruan Yunxi staring at her face, her face flushed, and she lowered her head in embarrassment. Her timid and evasive behavior made Ruan Yunxi look away, so as not to frighten the young wife.
Such a beautiful young wife, married to a fool.
It's really... pathetic!
Ruan Yunxi didn't feel comfortable commenting on other people's family matters and simply pretended not to know.
Having achieved her goal, she planned to leave.
I couldn't help but ask one last time: "You've only been living in this family compound for a short time, don't you miss your parents' home?"
Before Miao Huahua could finish speaking, the old lady interrupted, "How does she think back? Coming to our family is a blessing. Back in her parents' home, life was incredibly hard. Her parents favored boys over girls and didn't treat her well at all. It was only because our family didn't look down on her that we married her. The bride price was three hundred yuan. In the countryside, which family can afford a bride price of three hundred yuan?"
Miao Huahua said with shame, "My mother-in-law is very good to me, and I love this family."
Ruan Yunxi knew immediately that it was just polite talk.
“That’s true, but given your son’s situation, the fact that he was able to get married is thanks to your in-laws’ skill,” Ruan Yunxi retorted.
The old lady looked incredibly embarrassed.
That's right, you can't get a wife even if you live in the city.
This isn't a young wife; she's from the village. Her family wasn't well-off, so they married her off early, and she's been with them for five years now.
They treated her like a concubine.
They ate quite a lot of their grain!
Miao Huahua never expected that Ruan Yunxi would stand up for her, and she wasn't afraid of offending her mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Miao Huahua looked at Ruan Yunxi gratefully. This beautiful sister-in-law is such a kind person!
Ruan Yunxi just couldn't stand the old lady's smugness, as if she had done something good.
If any young woman had a choice, she wouldn't marry a fool.
Judging from the looks of it, it's the family that sold their daughter for money.
Otherwise, who would be willing to sacrifice their daughter's happiness for a lifetime?
Then look at that silly-looking person, holding an empty can of yellow peaches, tilting their head back to drink the syrup, and even licking it with their tongue after they finished, as if they couldn't get enough.
That's really stupid.
Miao Huahua is truly pitiful to spend her whole life with such a fool!
Ruan Yunxi's sympathy and pity were useless; this was someone else's family matter.
All she knew was that this Miao Huahua was not her mother-in-law's daughter. Although she looked like her, that was all she did. She had a mother and younger siblings.
She is probably not her mother-in-law's illegitimate daughter.
As for the daughter who was stillborn, that's even less likely.
Everyone says it was stillborn, how could it possibly be alive!
After leaving Miao Huahua's house, Sister-in-law Sheng was silent for a few seconds, glanced at Xiao Yingtao, and couldn't help but say, "Miao Huahua's parents are really heartless."
"That's how it is with the preference for sons over daughters. Daughters are like pigs and sheep, ready to be sold at any time." Ruan Yunxi had seen this before. There were many families in Shanghai that preferred sons over daughters, especially wealthy families, who insisted on having a son to inherit the family business.
She was their only daughter. When her grandparents were alive, they often gave her the cold shoulder and encouraged her parents to divorce so that her parents could marry another woman and have grandchildren for them.
She disliked her mother because her mother's body was damaged during childbirth and she could not have children afterward.
He also disliked that Ruan Yunxi was a daughter, not a son.
Thinking of her parents, Ruan Yunxi felt a pang of sorrow.
When Sister-in-law Sheng saw Miao Huahua, she thought of Xiao Yingtao: "We treat everyone equally in our family. My daughter is my darling, and so is my son."
Ruan Yunxi smiled appreciatively: "Sister-in-law Sheng truly deserves to be called a new socialist woman. Women can hold up half the sky."
Sister-in-law Sheng blushed with pride at the compliment.
Unbeknownst to them, after leaving Miao Huahua, the old woman revealed her true nature, grabbing a broom and beating Miao Huahua mercilessly. Miao Huahua couldn't dodge; the old woman hit her everywhere except her face and hands. After venting her anger, she cursed, "Just because someone spoke up for you, do you think you're so great?"
