Zhang's eldest sister-in-law left, but Chen Suwen didn't leave. She stood by, watching the drama unfold and fanning the flames.
"Qiang's mom is truly a modern young woman, living her life to the fullest and making it wonderful," Chen Suwen said with a smile.
"This is no longer the feudal era, where women were expected to stay at home all the time."
"Moreover, women in feudal times who rarely left their homes had generous dowries, and the income from their dowries alone was enough for them to live comfortably each month."
"Women like us who don't have much dowry can only rely on our own hands to earn money."
"Ah Qiang's mom, it's really amazing that you responded to the call to leave your home."
It was unclear whether Chen Suwen's words were a compliment or a taunt.
Zhang Hongxue never went out to work, whether before or after getting married, but she insists that she is a modern young woman just because she stepped out of the house and went to work.
You could tell from Zhang Hongxue's expression that although she blushed a little, her eyes showed some shame, and it was clear that she didn't think this was a compliment.
This is a sarcastic remark about how she used to be completely spoiled and dependent on others.
She has to change.
“Our A-Qiang’s mom is definitely the best woman. Whether as a wife or a daughter-in-law, she’s absolutely perfect.” He Caiying subconsciously praised her daughter-in-law.
Chen Suwen nodded, "Yes, she is indeed a good wife and a good daughter-in-law."
"After all, she's been able to get along with you, Aunt Tong, for so many years without ever arguing. Isn't that the best kind of daughter-in-law?"
“Unlike my mom, who argues with me all the time and doesn’t even listen to what I say.”
Xu Huixue, who had come to watch the commotion without her noticing, was taken aback. How did this get involved with her?
Although she did argue with her mother-in-law, they only had two or three arguments over the years, which is much better than those mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law who have a small argument every three days and a big argument every five days.
"And then there's my mother-in-law, Ah Cong. She argues with me every time she comes back. She's such an unreasonable daughter-in-law."
"My third son's wife is the same; she's too young and doesn't know how to talk to her mother-in-law."
“Unlike you, Ah Tong’s mom, you’re so lucky that you’ve never talked back to me.”
The more He Caiying listened, the more she felt that there was something wrong with what Chen Suwen said.
What do you mean she's lucky to have such a good daughter-in-law?
What do you mean by "the daughter-in-law has never talked back to her"?
Does Chen Suwen mean that if her daughter-in-law contradicts her even once, she will punish or scold her?
Chen Suwen looked at He Caiying with a smile; that was exactly what she meant.
If Zhang Hongxue were arrogant and domineering, no matter how well He Caiying cultivated her image as a mother-in-law, she would still be able to talk back, and the facade of harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would simply not be maintained.
For example, now that Zhang Hongxue wants to go out to work, He Caiying almost couldn't maintain her image as a good mother-in-law and tried to stop her from going out to work.
“Cunzhi’s mom, are you very free? I remember you were going to turn over the vegetable garden today, weren’t you? How come you have so much free time to come to my house and say such irrelevant things?” He Caiying smiled and gave him the hint to leave.
Chen Suwen shrugged. "After working for so long, you definitely need to rest and relax. What? Do you want to be like Zhou Bapi, making me work from morning till night?"
She looked at He Caiying with an expression that said, "Why are you exploiting others like a landlord?" "The vegetable garden is my family's. I can turn it over whenever I want. There's no rush."
He Caiying took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger. "Yes, the vegetable garden is yours, and I can't tell you when to turn it over."
"Ah Qiang's mother and I have something to do, so we won't entertain you all any longer." He Caiying didn't argue with Chen Suwen, nor did she intend to continue greeting the others. She pulled Zhang Hongxue into the house.
We can't let the neighbors laugh at us in the yard. If there's anything, we should go inside first and talk it out slowly between the two of us.
As the figures of the Sun family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disappeared, the crowd was somewhat disappointed, but not many people actually left.
Everyone was curious whether the Sun family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would actually start arguing.
"I thought Atong's mom was such a good daughter-in-law, but it seems her mask can't hold up any longer."
A neighbor, who was also a mother-in-law, couldn't help but gloat.
"That's right, it's just a temporary job, but Tong's mom can't help but get anxious. Let's see how she can pretend to be nice in the future."
Every time I see them scolding their daughters-in-law, I pretend to be nice and tell them not to make things difficult for their daughters-in-law.
They say you have to empathize, but think about how they were bullied by their mothers-in-law when they were daughters-in-law. Now that they are mothers-in-law, how can they become the kind of people they hate the most?
Haha, that's hilarious.
It is precisely because they were mistreated and oppressed by their mothers-in-law that they were able to exercise their rights as mothers-in-law after they turned the tables and became mothers-in-law themselves.
Moreover, they didn't make things difficult for their daughters-in-law for no reason. If they didn't make a mistake, why would the mothers-in-law punish them arbitrarily?
He Caiying's generosity towards other people's money is disgusting, yet many people still fall for it.
Now that they see He Caiying finally breaking down in her "good mother-in-law" act, they are gloating.
Chen Suwen ignored what others were saying about He Caiying and slowly walked home.
"Hmph, A-Tong's mother even said how good she is to her daughter-in-law, but she won't let her daughter-in-law go to work?"
"Perhaps it's just as she said, that she's worried her daughter-in-law might be mistreated at work?"
Chen Suwen spoke with a smile, but you could tell what she was really thinking just by looking at her expression.
She was actually being sarcastic.
