She just had the confidence to say that she was the core of Fu Hansheng's world.
She has absolute confidence in Fu Hansheng.
Mrs. Fu was stunned, and Lin Xiaotang reminded her of two points.
1: There is no affection between her and her son since childhood. She only has the gratitude of giving birth to her but not the gratitude of raising her. It can even be said that everything Fu Hansheng suffered in his childhood was caused by her absence as a mother. So if she did something that made Fu Hansheng sad, Fu Hansheng might not talk too much about the mother-son affection.
Just like all these years, Fu Hansheng respected her but ignored any of her personal opinions.
No one can force Fu Hansheng to do something he doesn't want to do.
2: She is a mother, not Sang Jingrui’s mother, but Fu Hansheng’s mother.
Any decision she makes should be centered on Fu Hansheng.
Knowing that Fu Hansheng loves Lin Xiaotang, she still insists on driving Lin Xiaotang away, which will only lead to the loss of the last bit of mother-son relationship between her and her son.
A mother who loves her son knows how to be a good mother-in-law.
Although Mrs. Fu was not convinced at once, she still had to consider how to treat Lin Xiaotang more appropriately.
As long as she still wants to have Fu Hansheng as her son, she should not make things difficult for Lin Xiaotang.
At least, something like being made to stand for an hour as punishment when meeting someone for the first time will not happen again.
Lin Xiaotang was very satisfied with Mrs. Fu's silence. She had no experience on how to be a good mother-in-law, but she knew that when Sixian and Siqi brought a girl home in the future, she would be very kind to her because that was the girl her son liked.
——Her son can wear a skirt for the girl he likes, or for the boy he likes.
Lin Xiaotang doesn't want to use her own worldview to limit who her child should be with.
Sang Jingrui was inexplicably anxious. Her only support was Mrs. Fu's support. If Mrs. Fu were to back down now, she would really become a joke.
Sang Jingrui poured hot tea for Mrs. Fu, "Aunt Shu, have some tea."
Mrs. Fu looked up at Sang Jingrui, at the girl whose eyes were full of tenacity and admiration, who had grown up by her side. Her wavering emotions instantly became firm.
——She can’t let Sang Jingrui down! Lin Xiaotang didn’t know what the two of them were talking about with each other, but she could tell that Mrs. Fu’s attitude towards her had just heated up, but then cooled down in an instant.
This time the cooling is lower than before.
How can anyone maintain absolute enthusiasm all the time when facing someone who has prejudices against him or her?
Whether as a mother-in-law or a mother, Lin Xiaotang is very disgusted with Mrs. Fu's behavior of despising her daughter-in-law and forcing her son.
"You probably don't know, Jingrui's family has been kind to me. She has been taking care of me and staying by my side all these years. She is the most suitable person for my son, emotionally and logically. You'd better have some self-awareness."
Lin Xiaotang's lips curled up in just the right amount of sarcasm. "I've done you a favor, so you should just repay it. I really can't understand why you're using your own son's lifelong event as a favor. Your feelings and your reason are your business. It's useless to tell me."
After Lin Xiaotang finished speaking, the Buddhist beads in Mrs. Fu's hand were broken by her with great force.
The round sandalwood trees were scattered all over the ground, but Lin Xiaotang ignored them.
Lin Xiaotang looked at Sang Jingrui and challenged her in a mean tone, "If you have the guts, go tell Fu Hansheng to divorce me~"
Sang Jingrui: “.”
Sang Jingrui had already witnessed Lin Xiaotang's shamelessness, but even so, she was still angry at this moment. Yes, if they really had the ability to separate Fu Hansheng and Lin Xiaotang, then there was no need to take Lin Xiaotang seriously now.
Lin Xiaotang really knows how to find the key points!
Madam Fu sneered, "Lin Xiaotang, you are more shameless than I thought. You actually took advantage of Han's love for you to contradict me, your mother!"
Lin Xiaotang rolled her eyes and retorted without any psychological pressure, "You are more annoying to me than I thought. You actually took advantage of Ah Sheng's absence to force me."
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been natural enemies since ancient times! Lin Xiaotang was a little thankful that Fu Hansheng and her son did not live together all the time, otherwise, she would have endless internal conflicts to deal with every day.
Mrs. Fu was furious. She really didn't expect that Lin Xiaotang would dare to contradict her so blatantly. Did she look so lacking in dignity? Since she married into the Fu family, she had never been treated like this!
Lin Xiaotang was too lazy to say anything more, so she waved her hand, turned around and left.
When he walked to the door, he said lightly, "What bad luck."
Lin Xiaotang and Mrs. Fu were strangers to begin with.
If it weren't for Fu Hansheng as a link, they might never have met in this life and would have had no intersection.
But when Lin Xiaotang and Fu Hansheng got married, they became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
This relationship is very subtle.
If both parties take a step back, that is the mother-daughter love.
If everyone takes a step back, the family will be happy.
If no one backs down, there will be chaos.
If you don't retreat but advance, it will be a tragedy! Lin Xiaotang is the golden mean, neither advancing nor retreating.
She will adjust her attitude appropriately according to the other person's attitude and behavior.
Not to contend is to contend.
To fight, and also not to fight.
Mrs. Fu was so angry that she smashed a set of antique official kiln tea cups, and her fingertips went numb from anger.
The days of living a life of luxury made her forget that there are still people in this world who don't respect her.
Sang Jingrui stepped on the broken glass and picked up the Buddhist beads that had rolled on the ground one by one. Then she asked the servant to bring a rope, and she strung the beads one by one and tied a knot.
She did this patiently; after all, she had been doing it for twenty years.
Giving Mrs. Fu Buddhist beads can help her calm her mind.
When a string of intact beads was placed in front of Mrs. Fu, she regained her usual calm and peaceful demeanor.
She would be angry for a moment, but she was not really helpless against Lin Xiaotang.
Lin Xiaotang returned to her residence and Vivi was waiting for her in the yard.
"Ms. Lin, Madam has instructed us not to eat after noon, so there will be no dinner."
As Vivi spoke, she observed Lin Xiaotang's expression and found that she really didn't care about anything. For a moment, she was a little suspicious whether today's stimulation was too great.
Lin Xiaotang returned to her room and closed the door, as elegant as a white swan.
But the moment the door closed, her shoulders instantly slumped, and she threw herself on the bed, burying her face in the pillow.
She was so tired and her legs ached.
It feels good to argue with Mrs. Fu for a while, but Lin Xiaotang knows that it will be more difficult in the future because of Mrs. Fu's embarrassment and Sang Jingrui's exclusion and isolation.
When she was at home, her family never let her suffer any injustice. But when she came to Fu Hansheng's house, she had to suffer injustice all the time.
