"Mother," Wang said, sounding somewhat aggrieved, "I didn't do anything, did I?"
“You haven’t done anything yet. Who knows what will happen if this continues? I’ll definitely have a good talk with your mother-in-law about this later.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Wang suddenly froze. "What? What do you mean? Mother is going to the Huang family too?"
“Not only me, the whole family will go,” the mother sneered. “If we don’t teach you a lesson this time, you’ll cause trouble again soon. Besides, it’s our Wang family’s fault for not raising our daughter well.”
Upon hearing these words, Wang's expression completely cracked. "Mother, no, you don't have to do this."
After realizing that Wang was not on her side, she dared not do anything more. After all, she was not stupid and knew that once she was rejected and had no family to support her, her fate would not be good.
However, she thought that going home and admitting her mistake would be enough.
My family probably won't mind.
But to his surprise, his own mother was unwilling to let the matter rest so easily.
“I must,” the Queen Mother snorted coldly. “Now that I know about this, I can’t pretend nothing happened. Your younger brother isn’t married yet, and I can’t let you drag her down.”
"I will not, and it is impossible for me to, be a burden to my younger brother."
"Fool!" Madam Wang didn't want to say anything more to her daughter.
However, in her heart, she felt closer to the Huang family. Her daughter had been married for so many years and was still so innocent, which showed that she hadn't suffered much.
Wang felt that her mother was making a mountain out of a molehill, but the Wang family disagreed.
After Wang's mother told the family about the incident, even Wang's younger brother, who had always defended his older sister, fell silent.
"Has my eldest sister gone mad? Why is she doing this to everyone else? I wonder what she's done to the Huang family?"
After saying that, he glanced guiltily at the location of the courtyard, where Old Huang had harnessed the oxcart and was waiting for Wang.
He felt that the trouble his older sister had caused wasn't a big mistake, but it was still quite annoying, like swallowing a fly.
It's ridiculous to keep things bottled up inside and then take it out on your family, feeling that others have wronged you!
Do they have to be fawned over and flattered?
Which family doesn't want a virtuous and capable wife when they get married?
“She still feels incredibly wronged,” Wang’s mother couldn’t help but shake her head. “I feel wronged for the Huang family.”
"When you find a wife for your son in the future," Wang's father said calmly, "find someone steady and generous, and definitely not someone like Da Nizi."
As a father, he can understand and tolerate his daughter, but he absolutely has no patience for his daughter-in-law.
"How did my sister become like this?" Wang Dadi asked, puzzled. "She wasn't like this before."
"Are you blaming the Huang family?" the Queen Mother asked.
Wang Dadi refused to admit it, saying, "No, my son just finds it strange."
"This matter is indeed related to the Huang family. Back home, whenever she acted spoiled and stubborn, I would immediately give her a good beating. The Huang family treated her too well, which made her feel too frivolous."
Upon hearing this, Wang Dadi silently shut his mouth and dared not speak again.
He vaguely remembered that before his eldest sister got married, she had also stayed in her room for a period of time, always with a stern face and speaking in a cold and indifferent manner.
It seems, perhaps, is because of the dowry.
He was later beaten up and then he didn't dare to show his face again.
Could it be that Mother was right?
No matter how much Wang resisted, the Wang family still came to the Huang family, and for this reason, they even temporarily put aside their rice planting.
When the mother dragged her daughter in by the ear, the entire Huang family was stunned.
"Mother," Wang pleaded desperately, "please let me go first."
With so many people watching, I've completely lost face and will never be able to hold my head up again.
“Yes,” Jiang Nuan also looked bewildered, “Mother-in-law, let’s talk this out.”
Xie felt a little smug and stood aside to observe, maintaining an unyielding and steadfast demeanor.
Serves you right for being so dramatic! You got what you deserved!
She's really angry this time. It's just a little bit of a tantrum now and then, and everyone can just let it go. But to make such a fuss for so many days and then run back to her parents' house to complain, how shameless can she be?
Fortunately, my aunt-in-law is a reasonable person and a smart one.
"This girl is ignorant and has caused you trouble. It's because our Wang family hasn't raised her well."
The Queen Mother adopted a very humble posture.
She had assumed that her in-laws would have objections to her daughter's outburst and was prepared to be met with disdain.
But they found that the other person didn't mean it that way at all; they were all very friendly and didn't seem angry at all.
“It’s nothing serious,” Jiang Nuan said, rubbing her forehead. “My dear in-laws, there’s no need to be so nervous.”
Although she was already somewhat annoyed, Jiang Nuan wouldn't do anything to Wang Shi until she made a serious mistake; at most, she would just keep her cold.
Because she felt that these children were young, she was always easy to talk to, but that doesn't mean she didn't have her own temper.
Who isn't a little princess at heart? If no one pampers you, then pamper yourself.
“It’s not a matter of being nervous or not,” Wang’s mother sighed. “I’ve already had three children, and they’re still not grown up. If Da Niu and the others go astray, I’ll never have peace of mind for the rest of my life.”
Jiang Nuan: ......
"My dear in-laws are overthinking it. Da Niu and the others are all good kids and won't go astray."
What can she say? Just because someone insults her daughter doesn't mean she wants to hear others insult her too.
"It's good now, but it would be strange if the influence of the weather wasn't distorted. It's also my fault. She's the only daughter in the family and the eldest, so it's inevitable that she's been spoiled a bit."
The Wang family wasn't exactly good to Wang Shi, but compared to most people, they were still among the best.
Although she still has to work all day, she'll be given a half-full meal, and if there's meat or vegetables, she can have a bite to taste.
When she grew up, she was introduced to a good family. They didn't insist on a dowry, but instead gave her ten copper coins as a token of appreciation and a red cloth to make her wedding dress.
After my daughter got married, although I didn't help her, I didn't hold her back or try to freeload off her.
Compared to the Wang brothers, the Wang family was indeed somewhat cold-hearted towards their daughter, but compared to the Xie family, she was absolutely living a life of luxury.
"It's nothing serious, it's all in the past. As long as it can be changed, that's fine. The person is still young, let them learn gradually." Jiang Nuan said with a smile, inviting the person inside, "Mother-in-law, come into the hall to rest, have some tea and snacks."
As he spoke, he turned to his father-in-law and instructed him, "Eldest brother, accompany your father-in-law to the side hall for a chat."
Seeing this, Wang's mother secretly observed her daughter and found that she was not surprised by her mother-in-law's actions. Then, she looked around at the silent crowd and immediately understood what was going on.
That girl of hers is really taking advantage of people's good temper!
They don't blame anyone for all this trouble? What kind of divine family is this? Their temperament is too gentle.
Actually, it wasn't that no one blamed her; the two old ladies were very unhappy, but they were impatient with Wang Shi and couldn't argue with the younger generation, so they didn't show their faces at all.
Even if others were dissatisfied, they wouldn't show it in front of the Wang family.
