"If they can't tolerate me, do you think that old man can kick me out?!"
Zhang Hua sat up, but showed no intention of getting out of bed. She hugged Chen Shu's daughter and said, "I'm so angry. Your brother called a few days ago and told me that he can't come back for the New Year again this year."
His face gradually darkened, and Zhang Hua continued, "No matter what I say, your brother won't listen to a word I say!"
Why can't we come back?
Chen Shu asked.
Zhang Hua was angry and did not respond.
Seeing this, Chen Shu seemed to understand something instantly. Her expression also turned unpleasant, and she said irritably:
"It must be that bitch my brother married who's causing trouble, Mom. I think you'd better get my brother to divorce that bitch as soon as possible, otherwise, he might be bewitched by her and not recognize you or me!"
"Your brother wouldn't dare?!"
Zhang Hua gritted his teeth: "When he wrote to me saying he was going to marry that bitch, I sent a telegram to stop the marriage."
But your brother has your grandparents backing him up, so he doesn't listen to me at all and insisted on getting a marriage certificate with that family in the countryside.
Last year during the Spring Festival, he used the excuse that that bitch was pregnant and he had to stay by her side to take care of her, so he couldn't go home for the New Year;
This year during the Spring Festival, your brother again used the excuse that the child was still young, and that he and that bitch were worried about not being able to ensure their safety, and that that bitch was pregnant again…
"Did my brother marry a sow?"
Chen Shu said with disdain, "She's so fertile, having three children in one pregnancy isn't enough, and it hasn't been long since then, she's already pregnant again. Does she think she can afford to raise so many children?"
With a heavy "humph," Chen Shu continued, "Isn't it still my brother who has to support me?! Mom, that bitch is definitely up to no good, she wants to work my brother to death!"
"Your brother deserves to be worked to death; who told him to disobey me?!"
Zhang Hua felt indignant when she thought about what her son had said to her on the phone. She said, "At first, I objected to him marrying that bitch, but later I repeatedly asked him to divorce her."
Your brother seems to be possessed, believing I have a prejudice against that bitch. Just last night, I was thinking of having your father call your brother.
"I asked your brother to come home for the New Year, but your dad didn't say a word. Tell me, these two are making me so angry, it's no wonder I can't get out of bed today!"
"My dad doesn't want to call my brother?"
A hint of doubt flickered in Chen Shu's eyes.
"Xiao Shu, what are your ears for? Wasn't I clear enough?"
Zhang Hua looked dissatisfied, thinking that Chen Shu was a complete idiot for not being able to understand what she was saying.
"I...I just didn't react for a moment!"
Chen Shu showed a good attitude in admitting her mistake, but what she was thinking was: It's all because you didn't have the ability to win over my dad's heart, otherwise, my dad would be at your mercy.
If you have my dad under control, he'll never go west if you want him to go east...
Zhang Hua had no idea what Chen Shu was thinking. Otherwise, she would have been so angry that she would have vomited blood, feeling that all her hard work had resulted in raising an ungrateful child!
"Okay, I don't want to say too much right now."
Handing the child back to Chen Shu, Zhang Hua asked, "Tell me, why aren't you staying at home? What are you doing here? Don't you know it's New Year's Eve?"
"I, of course I know."
She didn't want to stay home and do chores, so she took her child out to escape the hustle and bustle.
"You knew that, yet you still came?"
Zhang Hua's eyes seemed thoughtful: "Could it be that she doesn't want to help with chores at home?"
"Mom, if you already know, why did you ask me?!"
From childhood to adulthood, she had almost never lifted a finger to do housework. After marrying into the Xiao family, she still didn't do any housework.
After she became a daughter-in-law of the Wang family, although her mother-in-law did not ask her to help with housework, Wang Junchi was a scoundrel. Every time he saw his mother-in-law doing laundry and cooking, he would call her over to lend a hand.
In short, Wang Junchi is a bastard, a complete scoundrel!
Before they consummated their relationship, he would shower her with sweet words. But after they got married and had children, he became a completely different person—he would yell at her at the drop of a hat and speak to her with impatience.
What a scoundrel!
Does it mean that once you get something, you don't know how to cherish it?
"You are now a member of the Wang family, not in your own home where you can speak and act as you please!"
Zhang Hua looked displeased and coldly reprimanded, "Once you're a wife, you need to tone down your temper and be a little more diligent. Don't let your in-laws think you're ill-mannered and lazy!"
"Mom, listen to what you're saying! How can I just act and speak as I please? Does becoming someone else's wife mean I can't be myself, that I have to live a stifled life, and that I have to be subservient to others?"
Speaking of upbringing, I'd like to see if any member of the Wang family dares to say that the Chen family's upbringing is bad!
Chen Shu was spoiled since childhood and never listened to advice. At this moment, she struck a nerve with Zhang Hua, saying, "Mom, you want me to be a little more diligent at my in-laws' house, but what about you?"
Let's not talk about anything else, just look at today. Mom, instead of being busy in the kitchen, you're still lying in bed even though it's already past noon. Do you think that's appropriate?
Furthermore, you want me to curb my temper, but Mom, you haven't shown any signs of curbing it over the years!
"You, you..."
Pointing her finger at Chen Shu, Zhang Hua's lips trembled with anger. She said, "I'm your mother, and this is how you talk to me?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Shu turned her head away, not daring to meet Zhang Hua's gaze again.
"If you're not going to say anything, go back to your own home. Don't stand here poking my eyes!"
Zhang Hua coldly dismissed them.
"mom!"
Chen Shu was clearly a little guilty. She looked at Zhang Hua with evasive eyes and said, "I didn't mean to say that, Mom... can you please not take it to heart?"
Zhang Hua just stared at her, as if he hadn't heard what Chen Shu said, and didn't speak for a long time.
"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Mom, it's all because of my mouth, I said those awful things, I promise you, I promise I won't do it again..."
Before Chen Shu could finish speaking, Zhang Hua interrupted her: "Alright, I don't want to see you or hear you say a word right now. Get out of my sight!"
"I'm not leaving. This is my home too, and I'm going to stay here!"
Chen Shu sat motionless on the edge of the bed, her face showing grievance: "Mom, you know my personality. I absolutely didn't mean what I said. You're my mother, how can you hold it against me?!"
Are you trying to drive me crazy?
Zhang Hua's eyes were filled with anger: "I only said a few words to you, and you stabbed me in the heart, and you want me to pretend nothing happened? I just want to ask, where do you put me?!"
"Mom~"
Chen Shu tried to ease the tense atmosphere by acting cute: "I told you I didn't mean it, you..."
"Shut your mouth!"
Zhang Hua dressed with a gloomy face. She got out of bed to wash up, without even glancing at Chen Shu again.
"Mom, actually I came to ask you if that peasant family from the countryside is coming to celebrate the New Year again?"
