Xu Li is a local from the big city, and naturally has a sense of superiority.
Choosing to marry Zhang Caimao already made her feel like she had lost out big time.
Where can we accept Zhang Caimao's poor relatives from his hometown who only hold us back?
Including Zhang Caimao's parents.
When they got married, she made Zhang Caimao choose between his hometown and her.
If Zhang Caimao cannot put her first, then she will not go through with the marriage.
After more than a decade of marriage, Zhang Caimao has indeed managed to sever ties with his hometown.
During holidays, he always goes back to the woman's parents' home, which is no different from being a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family.
Now a rural old lady has appeared.
Instead of keeping a low profile, they have this arrogant attitude.
She gave a sarcastic laugh. "I'm ill-mannered? Look at all these footprints! Who's ill-mannered here? Elder? What right do you, a country bumpkin, have to be my elder?!"
She had barely finished speaking when she saw a staff strike coming down from the sky.
"Ah! You old woman, are you crazy?! How dare you hit me?! What right do you have to hit me?!"
Xu Li covered her head, glaring angrily at the old lady.
The country folk were indeed unreasonable, rude, and vulgar; they would resort to violence at the slightest disagreement.
Then another blow landed on her, causing her to gasp in pain.
“You’re such an ill-mannered person. How dare you call me ‘old woman’? Your parents didn’t teach you how to be a decent human being, so now I, your mother-in-law, will teach you.”
The woman was furious. "What right do you have to teach me..."
Her words were cut short as the old woman picked up her cane and began to strike her.
She was beaten and ran away with her head in her hands.
"Ouch...ah, old woman...ouch...old...um...Mom!..."
A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Given the current situation, she had no choice but to back down and call her "Mom."
Upon hearing the word "Mom," the old lady indeed stopped.
Xu Licai finally got a chance to catch her breath, and her eyes turned to fear and terror when she looked at the old lady.
Are all elderly women in rural areas this fierce?
No, she wouldn't want to live under the same roof as such a dangerous person.
She told Zhang Caimao to kick the old lady out, or else she would make a scene with him.
Suddenly her expression changed drastically.
"Mom, what are you doing? That's my husband's and my room!"
The old lady picked up her luggage and walked inside, saying matter-of-factly:
"After looking around, this room is the brightest and most spacious, so I'll be staying here from now on."
Xu Li's eyes widened. This old lady was shameless! She actually wanted to take over the master bedroom as soon as she arrived.
"No! I don't agree!! Zhang Caimao won't agree either! Even if you want to stay here, you can only stay in that empty second bedroom..."
Then the old lady used a dazzling array of stick techniques to successfully take over the master bedroom.
Xu Li disappeared somewhere, wiping away tears as she called Zhang Caimao to complain.
That old lady's hitting was so painful... Waaah...
And yet, you can't see any injury...
Zhang Caimao was stunned for a long time when he heard his wife tearfully complaining about the old lady.
The image of that simple, honest old woman from the countryside in my mind is completely different from the wicked mother-in-law described by my daughter-in-law.
His wife repeatedly told him to go back and clean up the mess.
In short, the old lady must be driven away; only one of them can remain in this house.
Helpless, Zhang Caimao had no choice but to ask for leave and hurriedly return home.
Seeing the messy living room and his and his wife's clothes scattered all over the floor, a surge of anger welled up inside him.
"Zhang Caimao, you're finally back! Aren't you going to do something about your mother?! Waaaaah... I can't stand being in this house any longer..."
The wife ran over, crying and making a scene.
Just then, the old lady came out of the house, leaning on her cane. Her eyes lit up when she saw him.
"Oh, Cai Mao's back! It's been two years! Let Mom have a good look at him..."
Zhang Caimao angrily questioned:
"Mom, look what you've done! Did you hit Lili? You've even taken over Lili's and my room! What are you doing?! I told you not to come here, why won't you listen? Get out of here right now!"
As he was saying this, he reached out to pull the old lady away, but then he saw her raise her cane.
"Aww!"
Zhang Caimao yelled and clutched his arm, writhing in pain.
"Mom, how dare you hit me!?"
He then witnessed a dazzling display of staff techniques.
The old lady kept hitting him with her cane.
"You ill-mannered and uncultured brat. Who gave you permission to talk to your own mother like that? Your mother didn't teach you well before, so now she's going to teach you how to be a decent person."
The blows landed squarely on the skin, and the man was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands, begging for mercy repeatedly.
"Ouch! It hurts... Mom, Mom, don't hit me, don't hit me... I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Xu Li seized the opportunity to help her husband, but after being hit twice, she became obedient.
It must be admitted that the couple combined were no match for the old lady.
Zhang Caimao found it hard to believe that his over-seventy-year-old mother could be so fierce when she went crazy.
He, a grown man, was beaten so badly that he couldn't even put up a fight.
After teaching him a lesson, the old lady continued to mock him, saying that they had developed weak bodies in the city and might not even outlive her.
The couple were furious but dared not speak out.
To be honest, the old lady was definitely stronger than the two of them.
This time, the right to use the master bedroom truly fell into the hands of the old lady.
Xu Li was not happy to live in the spare bedroom, which was used for storing miscellaneous items.
While Zhang Caimao was tidying up the room, she packed her own luggage and went back to her parents' home.
He made some harsh remarks before leaving:
"I'll come back whenever your mother leaves. If she never leaves, we'll get a divorce!"
