Chapter 88: This mother-in-law has bad intentions.
When Ye Fang first arrived in Beijing, she was dazzled by the prosperity of the big city.
The people passing by on the street were dressed much more stylishly than the gray country village of Xiangyang Village.
The buildings here are also taller than those she has seen before.
It must be great to live inside and look down at the passers-by below, right?
Ye Fang was carrying her luggage with great effort and walking slowly on the street when a woman with curly hair and red lips passed by.
When the woman met her eyes, Ye Fang subconsciously turned away and shrank her neck.
She was afraid that the other party would see her envious expression and laugh at her for being a country bumpkin and unsophisticated.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go."
Xu Wenshu had nothing in his hands, and seeing that Ye Fang was far behind him, he was a little impatient.
His mother was still waiting at home, how could Ye Fang not notice it at all?
"I'm coming, I'm coming..."
Ye Fang carried and carried large and small bags, struggling to keep up with Xu Wenshu.
Although she and Xu Wenshu had a quarrel over the marriage certificate.
But now that the marriage certificate is in hand, Ye Fang doesn't want to have a rift with Xu Wenshu because of the previous incident.
After all, she will have to rely on Xu Wenshu to live a good life in the future.
A spoiled wife can't tie a man's heart.
So in the past two days, she has resumed her virtuous appearance and coaxed Xu Wenshu.
Now that she has arrived in the capital, looking at this prosperous metropolis, Ye Fang, who has never seen the world, can't help but shrink a little, and subconsciously regards Xu Wenshu as her support.
Whatever Xu Wenshu said, she did.
Along the way, Xu Wenshu was eager to return home and didn't stop for a moment.
Ye Fang walked under the scorching sun, carrying large and small bags, panting.
Soon, the two arrived in front of a courtyard with white walls and green bricks.
Looking at the vermilion gate, Ye Fang's mood was also a little excited.
She came to the capital, married into Xu Wenshu's family, and became a wealthy wife!
Houses in the capital are more luxurious than those in the countryside. Look at this high-walled courtyard. It will be her home in the future...
"Squeak."
Suddenly, the door was opened from the inside.
A middle-aged couple walked out.
Ye Fang subconsciously called out: "Dad, Mom."
The middle-aged couple was stunned and looked at her in surprise.
"Why are you yelling?"
Xu Wenshu blushed and pushed Ye Fang, "They are just neighbors!"
Neighbors? Are they visiting from next door?
Ye Fang was stunned. She saw people coming out of the courtyard and thought...
She was a little embarrassed, and
then she smiled in a self-consciously generous way: "Two uncles and aunts, I'm so sorry to have embarrassed you." The middle-aged couple looked her up and down, unable to hide their disdain, and turned to Xu Wenshu: "Wenshu, this can't be your wife? You got married in the countryside?"
The middle-aged woman glanced at Ye Fang, "Didn't you just go to the countryside for more than a year? Why can't you let it go..." Ye Fang's
face looked a little ugly when she heard it.
"Okay, don't worry about young people's affairs. Now the country advocates free love."
The middle-aged man coughed lightly to cover up the sarcasm on his face, and turned to Xu Wenshu and smiled: "Wenshu, your mother heard that you were coming back, and has been waiting since morning. You should go in quickly. We have things to do, so we'll leave first."
The two left.
After they walked away, Xu Wenshu glared at Ye Fang coldly: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be so embarrassed!"
After that, he ignored Ye Fang and walked straight into the door.
"Wenshu, I didn't mean it, wait for me--"
Ye Fang suppressed her anger and hurried in with her luggage.
After passing the screen wall, they arrived at the spacious courtyard.
Ye Fang saw at a glance that there were several ropes tied in the yard.
The ropes were full of clothes hanging out to dry.
There were men and women, old and young.
And the grades were different.
Ye Fang was stunned. Aren't Xu Wenshu's parents the only ones at home?
Why are there so many people's clothes drying in the house?
Could it be that some relatives have come to stay recently?
As she was thinking about it, she saw Xu Wenshu walking towards the room on the left.
Ye Fang followed, "Wenshu..."
She was about to ask what was going on with the clothes drying in the yard.
But Xu Wenshu ignored her, pushed open the door, and shouted to the house: "Mom, I'm back."
"My son--"
The next second, a middle-aged woman ran out of the house, hugged Xu Wenshu and cried, "You have suffered so much, so much..."
"Mom, you too..."
Xu Wenshu's eyes were red, and tears were flashing in the corners of his eyes.
The mother and son had a touching reunion.
Ye Fang stood aside, feeling embarrassed that she was being ignored.
She took this opportunity to look at Xu's mother and found that she was wearing a bit old clothes.
Although the clothes were clean, you could see the traces of repeated starching and washing, and the edges were white.
However, Xu's mother has taken good care of herself and looks like she is not even forty years old. She is somewhat similar to Xu Wenshu, with fair skin and thin body.
However, her cheekbones are a bit high and she is older, so her face is not as plump as before, which makes her look a bit mean.
Thinking of what Xu Wenshu said, Xu's mother has always been a housewife with a gentle and virtuous personality.
Now that she has met the real person, Ye Fang feels that Xu's mother may not be that simple.
If she is really a good mother-in-law, why would she abandon her daughter-in-law when she comes to visit?
"Wenshu, mother, shall we go in first?"
Ye Fang took the initiative to speak, attracting the attention of Xu's mother. She said, "Wenshu, you have been sitting on the train for a whole day. Your waist and back are not feeling well. I will give you a massage when we get into the house."
"Wenshu, are you feeling unwell?"
Xu's mother hurriedly said, "The berth should be fine..."
"Mom, I bought a hard seat."
Xu Wenshu's expression was unnatural, and her tone was a little more complaining: "Xiaofang was in a hurry to come to the capital, and she was pressed for time, so she only had time to buy a hard seat." Xu
's mother frowned and glanced at Ye Fang.
Looking her up and down, Xu's mother showed a look of disgust.
It's okay to be dressed in tacky clothes, but the way she sweated and greasy all over her head is really unbearable to look at!
"Is that so?"
Xu's mother said in a cold tone, and she didn't mean to say more to Ye Fang.
She pulled Xu Wenshu into the house, "Wenshu, mother made you some mung bean soup, drink a bowl to cool off, you must have had a hard journey home."
"Mom, as long as we can come back, it's not hard."
"Why are you still standing there?"
Xu's mother turned her head to glance at Ye Fang who was still standing at the door with a bad expression, and casually pointed at the large and small bags at her feet, "Bring the things in and put them away. You are so old, but you don't have any good eyesight..." Ye Fang
was almost so angry that her mouth was crooked. It was the first time that someone said she had no good eyesight!
This mother-in-law, she came with bad intentions!
Ye Fang knew that the Xu family probably would not welcome her as a daughter-in-law who went to the countryside.
But she didn't expect that the other party would not even do the superficial work.
However, she would not be stupid enough to tear her face with Xu's mother.
Arguing with the mother-in-law in front of her husband would only make her husband tired of her.
Ye Fang thought that since her mother-in-law disliked her, she would try her best to perform and change her mother-in-law's impression of her.
After all, the Xu family was a wealthy family.
Such a large courtyard house belonged to the Xu family.
In the future, when Xu Wenshu inherited it, it would all belong to her.
For the sake of future glory and wealth, Ye Fang was willing to endure it.
"Mom, there are many things for Wenshu and me in the luggage we brought back."
Ye Fang said to Xu's mother, "It would be better to take the things to Wenshu and me's room?"
As she spoke, she looked at the other rooms outside, wondering which room to choose as her and Xu Wenshu's bedroom?
The one opposite is not bad, with good sunlight.
"Mom, which room is Wenshu and me's room?"
Ye Fang turned her head and looked at Xu's mother.
However, what responded to her was Xu's mother's uncomfortable and stiff expression.
Seeing this, Ye Fang had a bad feeling in her heart.
