"Mother," Qin Shi said, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes, "will this really work?"
“It will definitely work,” Qin’s mother said confidently. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it. Just stay home and relax.”
"Yes," she said, her tears turning into a smile, "thank you, Mother."
"You brat," Qin's father said unhappily, "what are you still lying on the ground for? Get up and do some work. There are clothes to wash, water to fetch, and pig feed to cook. Don't even think about slacking off."
“Mother,” Qin said reluctantly, “I don’t do these things at home.”
“This isn’t the Huang family,” Qin’s mother said, displeased. “Our family’s rule is that we don’t support people who freeload.”
"Alright then!"
After returning home, Sister-in-law Huang was still feeling uneasy, so she went to Jiang Nuan to complain.
"You wouldn't believe it, when she got to the Qin family, she started causing trouble again, crying and begging Dashan not to leave, as if our family had done something to her. And her father, he looks honest, but he's actually full of bad intentions. Dashan stood there for ages and didn't say a single word of concern."
Because of this, Sister-in-law Huang also harbored resentment towards Qin's father.
Normally, when the Huang family's things were being transferred to the Qin family, the old man would be all smiles, showering them with compliments about being a good in-law and son-in-law, and offering them tea and water. But now he's pretending to be confused.
What the hell!
If the Qin family ever gains even a penny more, she will change her surname to Huang!
“Sister-in-law,” Jiang Nuan handed her a cup of tea, and only opened it after watching her drink it, “I think your niece-in-law might be sick.”
"You're sick?" Sister-in-law Huang shook her head without thinking. "Impossible. The doctor took your pulse. If you were sick, you wouldn't hide it."
“This illness isn’t physical,” Jiang Nuan explained hesitantly, “it’s a psychological problem.”
Although this niece-in-law is usually a bit stingy, she would never do something so outrageous.
Jiang Nuan felt that there was something wrong with her mind, which was why she had caused such a big mess.
Perhaps the pressure was too great, or perhaps she was too anxious; in any case, there must be something wrong with her mind to lead to such extreme behavior.
“It has nothing to do with her mental problems,” Sister-in-law Huang scoffed. “She’s just malicious. Otherwise, why would she hit Dashan instead of herself?”
These words caused Jiang Nuan's expression to freeze slightly.
That makes so much sense; she had absolutely no idea how to refute it.
“Well,” Jiang Nuan touched her nose, “pretend I didn’t say anything.”
“I know you mean well and don’t want your family to become estranged from her,” Sister-in-law Huang sighed. “But sometimes you just can’t spoil people. The more you spoil them, the more arrogant they become. Once they’ve been taught a few lessons, they’ll learn their lesson on their own without you having to say anything.”
What Sister-in-law Huang really wanted to say was that Qin Shi was a shameless wretch. The Qin family treated her badly but treated her like a treasure, while the Huang family treated her like a treasure but she treated herself like trash. She couldn't understand anything at all.
However, in order not to let Jiang Nuan realize that he was not composed, he did not dare to speak too crudely.
"It's good that you know what's going on," Jiang Nuan said, no longer trying to persuade her.
She just hoped that things wouldn't get too tense, but since the family had already separated, it wasn't appropriate for her to get too involved in the affairs of the eldest son's family.
Sister-in-law Huang just wanted to vent to someone. These words were not appropriate for Old Lady Huang, and her own husband did not understand, so she could only turn to Jiang Nuan.
After venting all her pent-up thoughts, her gloomy mood vanished instantly. "Yaya, Dashan's injury is really bad, he's quite weak. I'll go back and make him something nice to nourish him. We'll talk again another day."
