She really regretted it.
I shouldn't have believed that matchmaker's lying mouth in the first place, saying that the Qin family woman was lively, clever, and the perfect choice to be the head of the family.
Bah!
It's also remarkable that the matchmaker could speak against her conscience without batting an eye.
She demanded control of the household as soon as she entered the family, saying that refusing it would be disrespectful to her as a new daughter-in-law. If she hadn't been firm, the men in the family would have actually given in.
That's not all. After eight years without a child, she didn't send the child back to her parents' home. She had even prepared for adoption. But this whole mess happened as soon as a child appeared in the family.
So annoying!
"Alright," Village Chief Huang reassured, "Why are you arguing with a young girl? Just bear with it and it will pass."
"Endure, endure, endure," Sister-in-law Huang finally lost her temper. "Eight years, and you say the same thing every time. How much longer do I have to put up with this?"
In other families, daughters-in-law serve their mothers-in-law with utmost care and deference, but in her family, it's different; she has to watch her daughter-in-law's expression before she can speak or act.
You won't find another mother-in-law in Huangjiakou who is as frustrated as her.
Unfortunately, he had spent a lot of money to bring this Buddha statue over, which made him feel increasingly frustrated.
"How can you speak like that?" Village Chief Huang quickly covered his wife's mouth, glancing nervously at Old Lady Huang, whose face had darkened. "Mother, she..."
"Alright," Old Mrs. Huang waved her hand. "Don't blame her. To be honest, I feel aggrieved too. I can understand what you men are thinking. It's all about family harmony. We elders shouldn't argue with the younger generation. But this won't do. It's because you've been indulging her step by step that she's become more and more outrageous."
With a cold snort, Old Lady Huang continued, "This old woman is almost in her coffin, what's wrong with hugging her great-granddaughter? If she doesn't like it, let her get lost, we won't indulge her!"
The old lady had reached her limit in her tolerance for this granddaughter-in-law.
She doesn't have children, and she hasn't said anything about it. But she always has a long face and a hint of grievance before she even speaks, as if someone has bullied her. It's so annoying to see her.
Now they're even using tricks to force the whole family to back down. On what grounds?
Do they all deserve to be wronged?
"Look at you," Old Huang said, trying to calm his wife down. "Nobody said you couldn't hold her, so why are you getting angry? It's such a waste of energy. If you get sick from it, you'll suffer the consequences yourself."
“That’s right,” Village Chief Huang quickly reassured her, “Don’t worry, Mother, no one will dare to stop you from holding your great-grandson. I’ll talk to Dashan about it later. We’ve done everything we could over the years. We can’t let the whole family suffer because of his wife, can we?”
"You're smart enough to know your place," Old Mrs. Huang said, pursing her lips. "I used to let those little things slide, thinking she was just a young, clueless daughter-in-law. But not today. This old woman is getting on in years. I can't be holding a baby and still have to watch my granddaughter-in-law's face. Look around the surrounding villages, which family has such rules?"
“Yes, yes, Mother is right,” Village Chief Huang nodded repeatedly in agreement. “Dashan’s wife did go too far this time. I’ll talk to Dashan properly and tell him to be more mindful of his behavior.”
“She just overthinks things,” Sister Huang sighed. “She can come up with all sorts of twists and turns about something as small as a small matter, and she just won’t think of the good side of it.”
She just couldn't understand why, after all these years, even a stone could be warmed up, yet this daughter-in-law always treated them like outsiders.
Since it's not her own child, she's not considerate. Even if she tries to treat the child like her own daughter, the child won't believe her and might even think she's hiding something bad.
She really doesn't like this daughter-in-law.
