Chapter 445: Husband and wife have no overnight hatred
Han Shichang wiped his face and explained to his father-in-law: "Dad, I was wrong. I was a little louder when I heard Meiling say that she would not care about my parents in the future."
"I didn't say that." Xiao Meiling turned around and retorted.
"Why didn't you say that? Didn't you say you would never give money to my parents in the future? You only give money a few times a year. Now you don't even want to do that. Doesn't that mean you don't care?"
"I..." Xiao Meiling glanced at her husband, bit her lower lip and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xiao's mother still had something to understand. She reached out and patted her daughter, saying in a reproachful manner, "This is your fault. How could you treat your parents-in-law like this? No wonder Shichang is angry, and even I am angry."
"Mom, you don't know what he said? I asked about the cost of Yaoyao's overseas trip from his eldest brother's family, and then he said that I was thinking about my parents-in-law's money, and said that no matter how much money they have, we don't want it. Do you think this makes sense? There are three brothers in the family, why don't we want it? We have also paid, okay? I can say with a clear conscience that I am definitely better to my parents-in-law than his eldest and second sisters-in-law. Why do I give them a discount later?"
"Oh, this," Xiao's mother sighed, looked at her daughter, then looked at her son-in-law, and continued to persuade: "You guys are just talking nonsense. Shichang didn't mean that. He just thinks that you have hands and feet and can make money by yourselves. Don't think about the little pension money from your parents, right, Shichang?"
Han Shichang nodded quickly and responded: "Yes, yes, Mom, that's what I meant. Meiling must have misunderstood me and said that I have no conscience."
Mother Xiao nodded and continued, "Shichang, you know Meiling's temper. She is just a little impatient. She is just talking too much. You shouldn't be thinking about your parents' property, but you can't say you don't want it anymore, right? You are three brothers, and we all contribute equally. You can't let anyone suffer. Don't you think this is the truth?"
"Yes, Mom, you are right." Han Shichang nodded.
Seeing that they had all calmed down, Xiao's mother patted her daughter's hand and said, "Okay, Mom will sleep with you tonight and let your dad sleep alone. As for Shichang, you can sleep in Shuchuan's room!"
Han Shichang had no choice but to take the pillow and leave the room. Father Xiao followed closely behind him, came close to him, and explained in a low voice: "Shichang, don't think too much. Your mother wants to persuade Meiling again. You know that Meiling is stubborn. If you don't persuade her, she will keep it in her heart and will quarrel with you in the future."
When Han Shichang heard this, he smiled gratefully and replied, "Dad, I know you are all doing this for the good of Meiling and me."
"It's good that you know. As for your parents, Meiling is actually a tough person on the outside, but she's actually a good person on the inside. Knowing that your dad loves the wontons she makes, she makes some every month, freezes them, and sends them to him in a taxi. You don't know this, do you?"
"Ah, I really didn't know that. I thought it was just once. It turns out Meiling sends wontons to my parents every month?"
Han Shichang really didn't know. He had heard his parents talk about it, but he thought it was just that one time. He didn't expect his wife to send it every month.
"Not only that, last time she saw that your dad liked the scallion oil noodles I made, she asked me to make the sauce, put it in a jar and send it to your parents, so that when your parents want to eat it, they can just pour the sauce on the noodles. Tell me, if she didn't care about your parents, would she do these things?" Father Xiao sighed and asked in a low voice.
Han Shichang was silent. He really didn't know that his wife had done so many things without his knowledge.
"And think about it yourself. When has Meiling bought clothes for us but not for your parents? She is a tough-mouthed person with a good heart. She doesn't like to tell you about things she does. In fact, she doesn't mean that she must have your parents' property. She just thinks that your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are not as good as her. Why should she take advantage? Anyway, that's what she means, don't you understand?"
Han Shichang nodded and replied, "Dad, I understand what you mean. Maybe I was wrong and made her angry. She didn't really want anything from my parents. It's all my fault."
"Yes, that's the truth. Husband and wife, if you have anything to say, just talk it out. Shuchuan is already grown up, and he's going to be a grandparent in a few years. You can't quarrel like this anymore." Father Xiao said with a smile.
Han Shichang was amused by his father-in-law's last words, "Dad, Shuchuan is only eighteen years old, you say it's too early, he should be at least twenty-four or twenty-five to get married."
"Oh, that's what I meant anyway."
Han Shichang nodded and said with a smile: "Dad, I understand what you said. You should go to bed early. I'm sorry for waking you up."
Father Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as you are fine, I'm going to bed too."
In the room, Xiao's mother sat on the bed, tapped her daughter's forehead, and asked, "Why are you arguing with Shichang for no reason? And you even said you won't give money to your parents-in-law. Is that right?"
Xiao Meiling turned her head away, lowered her head and said softly, "Mom, I'm just talking nonsense. It's Han Shichang who made me angry."
"You're right. I've already told you that Shichang was already upset because he didn't invite his parents to live here. You're still poking at him. How can he not be angry?"
"Hmph, I've already said it. What can I do?" Xiao Meiling regretted her words as soon as she said them. However, she was also frightened by her husband's loud shout. If her parents hadn't shown up, she really didn't know how the situation would end.
"You," Xiao's mother glanced at her daughter, "you are very considerate to your parents-in-law, and you do a lot for them, but you are not kind to them verbally. Don't worry, I guess your father has told Shichang everything you do, and he knows you didn't mean it. Husband and wife should not hold grudges overnight. You should get up early tomorrow morning, and don't have a stern face anymore, understand?"
Xiao Meiling's face changed when she heard this, "Mom, why did Dad and Shichang say those things? They thought I was deliberately trying to win their favor. I just wanted to do it myself, not to show off to anyone."
"Mom knows, but you have to let the other party see it after you do it! Just like Shichang cares about his parents, you should show your kindness to his parents in public, so that the relationship between husband and wife can be better. Don't you think this is the truth?"
Xiao Meiling turned her head and whispered, "I don't need it. I'm not doing this for the sake of appearance."
"Hey, you are so stubborn, why can't I explain it to you clearly? As long as it is good for your parents-in-law, what does it matter if it's just a face-saving project? As long as they get the benefits, it's fine."
Xiao's mother couldn't understand why her daughter actually did good deeds without leaving a name. She was really impressed.
"Okay, I won't say any more. If you don't want to sleep, then I will." Xiao Meiling lay down on the bed, turned off the bedside lamp on her side, and went to sleep.
The next day, after Xiao Meiling finished washing up, she found the dining table filled with her favorite breakfast. She tiptoed into the kitchen and saw her husband busying around in an apron.
Han Shichang heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. He smiled and said, "You're up. It's just right. Eat it while it's hot. I have your favorite pan-fried buns and fried dough sticks. I just went downstairs to buy them. Of course, there's also sweet pumpkin soup that I just made in the food processor. If you want noodles, I can make you some mixed noodles."
When Xiao Meiling saw the breakfast on the table, her anger disappeared. She looked at her husband and said, "How can we eat so much?"
At this time, Xiao's father and mother came over and said with a smile: "It's okay, we two old people will eat the rest."
"Dad, Mom," Xiao Meiling looked at her parents embarrassedly. She was already old, and it was quite embarrassing for her parents to see such a scene.
Han Shichang walked over to Xiao Meiling, helped her sit at the dining table, and whispered, "It was my fault last night. I'm sorry. Today's breakfast is my apology. Come and eat!"
Xiao Meiling blushed after hearing this and muttered, "That's better. Humph, I forgive you."
