Chen Suwen watched the show from the sidelines and did not go up to help Liu Lifen just because Liu was her neighbor.
Other neighbors who heard the commotion also came out to watch the excitement, but none of them went to help her.
"Lifen! Lifen! Don't do it! Don't do it!"
"Don't get angry over someone who's not important, come on."
Several people who were close to Liu Lifen stepped forward to mediate the fight. Liu Lifen's eldest daughter-in-law, Yang Sanyue, also came over and took advantage of the chaos to hit Fu Guilan several times.
This woman is the reason she lost her job. Although the Wang family has already asked Fu Guilan's husband and her family for money, she is still unhappy.
The Wang family was actually willing to pay the price of a job to marry Fu Guilan, but they weren't so "generous" when they married her in the first place. How could she possibly find Fu Guilan pleasing to the eye?
Of course, Yang Sanyue definitely disliked Fu Guixiang, even though she was also a victim. How could she possibly have any good feelings towards her sister-in-law?
She would only be satisfied if the Wang family disliked Fu Guixiang.
"You've bullied me, I won't let you get away with this!" Fu Guilan finally broke free from Liu Lifen's grasp, covered her face, uttered these harsh words, and ran away quickly.
The group on Guangming Road are all in cahoots. She's outnumbered and no match for Liu Lifen. She'd better run away quickly.
That brat Fu Guixiang definitely won't help her.
Unexpectedly, Fu Guixiang, who was always timid and submissive, also knew how to rebel and even disobeyed her orders.
She still had to go back to her parents' home to complain. If she couldn't deal with Fu Guixiang, surely her parents' home could?
Fu Guilan believed that she wouldn't even need her own brother's help; Fu Guixiang's parents or her own brother would come to her door.
Hmph, how could Fu Guixiang's parents possibly be as favored as her parents?
She still married the deputy director of a food factory in the city. Fu Guixiang only saw him as a cripple, and she believed that her grandparents would stand by her side.
This is also why she didn't want to marry Wang Shaohua, but instead married Yang Donghua.
A deputy factory director and an unemployed disabled person—everyone knows which choice to make, right?
Fu Guilan also believes that her family knows how to make the right choice.
Fu Guilan ran away, and Liu Lifen, unable to vent her anger, turned around and took it out on Fu Guixiang.
What use are you?
"You're a piece of trash! Why didn't you help me just now? Just because she's your cousin, does that mean you're helping her bully your mother-in-law?"
"Don't forget that you're now a member of the Wang family. Do you still want to listen to your maternal family?"
"That Fu Guilan is a despicable woman. She treated you like that, and you still want to help her?"
If it weren't for the presence of a group of neighbors, Liu Lifen would have already laid a hand on her daughter-in-law.
It's just a pity that her daughter-in-law didn't rush to help her immediately, nor did she do anything excessive, so she had no reason to hit her.
Liu Lifen was very unhappy. She couldn't vent her anger because she hadn't beaten Fu Guilan black and blue. So she could only take it out on Fu Guixiang.
Who told them they were cousins?
They're all from the Fu family, and both are daughters of the Fu family. So what if she takes her anger out on them?
Fu Guilan is at least pretty and a high school graduate, but what about Fu Guixiang?
He can't read a single character, and probably can't even write his own name. He's a useless little good-for-nothing who can't do anything but work.
"What use are you? Our family should never have married a woman from your Fu family. Women from your Fu family are all jinxes!"
"Marrying a woman from your Fu family is the worst luck imaginable."
Fu Guixiang, like a quail, let her mother-in-law curse at her, occasionally glancing at Wang Shaohua in the hope that he would receive her plea for help and speak up to help her out of the predicament.
But Wang Shaohua didn't look at her, nor did he offer to help her out of the predicament.
One is a wife he doesn't like and was tricked into marrying him, and the other is his own mother who is devoted to him. Isn't it obvious who he will side with?
His mother only scolded her, she didn't hit her, which was already very kind of her, so he wouldn't speak up for her.
"The Wang family is quite lively." Ye Yulian leaned close to Chen Suwen and whispered to her.
"It seems that Liu Lifen has been arguing with her daughters-in-law a lot lately. Her eldest daughter-in-law is unhappy about her work, while she is unhappy with her younger daughter-in-law."
Yang Sanyue's dissatisfaction was simple: her dowry was less than that of Wang Shaohua's wife, which made her very unhappy.
She had been persuaded by her man beforehand, which helped her suppress her dissatisfaction.
But who told the Fu family to resort to a substitute marriage?
Given Fu Guilan's conditions, Yang Sanyue could barely tolerate the Wang family's preferential treatment of her. Of course, she might use this as an excuse to seek her own benefit in the future.
But now that Fu Guilan has become Fu Guixiang, Yang Sanyue is unable to balance her emotions at all.
In her opinion, Fu Guixiang was just a country girl who had never been to school and had no connections. How could she possibly receive such a generous dowry from the Wang family?
Even though the bride price wouldn't fall on Fu Guixiang, Yang Sanyue was still dissatisfied.
So ever since Fu Guixiang married into the family, she has been making trouble. Of course, she doesn't just make trouble with Fu Guixiang; she also makes trouble with her mother-in-law Liu Lifen and other members of the Wang family.
She wants to get tangible benefits; those benefits are what matter most, everything else is just an illusion.
"I really don't know how the Fu family raises their children. Old Wang's wife is so timid, like a quail."
"No matter how much Liu Lifen scolded her, she wouldn't talk back, and she would do her work obediently."
As Ye Yulian spoke, she bluntly said, "Wang's eldest daughter-in-law is really something, how could she argue with her mother-in-law like that?"
“When she married into the family, the Wang family gave her a generous dowry, including three turns and a radio. Many families don’t even give that much.”
"Wang Laoda's wife is too greedy." Ye Yulian, from her mother-in-law's perspective, felt that Yang Sanyue's behavior was very bad and that she didn't respect her elders at all.
Chen Suwen watched the commotion with her arms crossed, saying, "Don't worry about it so much. It's not like your daughter-in-law is causing trouble, so you don't need to take it too seriously."
Chen Suwen advised her to just watch the show and not to comment or interfere in other people's family affairs.
"She wouldn't dare? If my eldest son dared to act like Wang's wife, I'd teach her a lesson."
"On the contrary, it's her fault. As a daughter-in-law, you should follow the rules. How can you talk back to your mother-in-law?"
Chen Suwen nodded in agreement.
If she were a daughter-in-law, she would naturally stand in the daughter-in-law's shoes and think that arguing with her mother-in-law was no big deal.
If her mother-in-law mistreats her, she will definitely retaliate.
But now that she's the mother-in-law, she's definitely on her mother-in-law's side.
If her daughters-in-law dare to challenge her authority, she can certainly teach them a lesson and let them know who is in charge.
She is naturally the head of the Zhou family, and Zhou Qingyun cannot challenge her position and authority as the head of the family.
