Sister-in-law Chi's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that something had happened to her family?
"Take a look quickly," Chi Dashan urged.
Because managing a restaurant required reading account books, Sister-in-law Chi also learned to read.
Although we don't know many people, we can still understand their everyday letters and such.
"Oh, oh, oh."
Sister-in-law Chi quickly pulled out the letter, opened it, and skimmed through it.
After reading it, his expression darkened.
"What's wrong?"
"...Mother wrote that my sister-in-law is making a fuss about dividing the family property."
Upon hearing this, Chi Dashan was not particularly surprised.
Instead, he revealed an expression that said, "I knew it."
Chi Tang tilted her head and asked, "Big brother, you don't seem surprised at all?"
Upon hearing Chi Tang's words, everyone looked at Chi Dashan.
Chi Dashan looked helplessly at his anxious wife and said, "Have you forgotten? Several times when I came back from your parents' house, I reminded you to talk to your mother-in-law and not to spoil Lehuai too much. If this continues, something bad will happen."
Although the two families live quite far apart, Chi Dashan's family still visits them five or six times a year.
Every time he went there, Chi Dashan would discover some of Le Huai's "clever" tricks.
At first, the sister-in-law was able to hold back.
Gradually, starting last winter, my sister-in-law could no longer tolerate it.
But my mother-in-law still favored her youngest grandson, always saying that he was pitiful because he had no parents...
People's patience is always limited, so it's understandable that my sister-in-law couldn't stand it anymore.
"I've tried to persuade her many times, but Mother seems to be possessed. She only has eyes for Lehuai and keeps saying that Lehuai is pitiful because he has no father or mother..."
As she was talking, Sister-in-law Chi couldn't continue.
To be honest, she herself never really took it to heart, nor did she think it was that serious.
After all, it's just a small matter concerning a child.
Can……
"How did things escalate to this point?" Sister-in-law Chi asked, somewhat puzzled.
As the eldest sister-in-law or eldest daughter-in-law, one always has to make some sacrifices and consider the bigger picture.
Isn't my sister-in-law from my maternal family always like this?
Chi Dashan waved his hands repeatedly: "You can't think like that. If you go with that mindset, you'll just be adding fuel to the fire."
Chi Dashan gave his younger brothers a look, and Xiao Wu immediately started to chase them away.
Then everyone dispersed.
After everyone had left, Chi Dashan began to instruct his wife from behind.
"Little sister, you can't judge your sister-in-law's behavior based on our own ideas. Besides, our family and your father-in-law's family are different."
Chi Dashan helped Chi Dasao to the pond, and the two sat down by the pond.
The worry in Sister-in-law Chi's eyes never faded: "Why is it different?"
Is there really any difference between the bride's family and the groom's family?
“My younger brothers, although they each have their own shortcomings, have never competed for anything in the family, and they respect me as their eldest brother and you as their sister-in-law. They have never played any tricks on me, have they?”
"right."
Sister-in-law Chi readily admitted it.
She has never had any regrets over the years because her husband's younger brothers and nephews, regardless of their personalities, have always respected her.
No one in her husband's family ever treated her badly or disrespectfully.
“But that kid Le Huai… I don’t believe you can’t see through his little schemes.”
“I can see that, but he has no parents, so it’s different… I can understand that.”
"You can understand, that's because you're not with him every day. He's always playing those petty tricks, so it's inevitable that your mother will favor him."
Once or twice is fine, even a year or two, my sister-in-law has tolerated it, but... wife, you have to believe in your sister-in-law's character.
She would never have threatened to separate the family property unless she had absolutely no other choice.
The Li family has two sons. No one knows whether Li Mingrong is dead or alive. The only son in the family is the eldest son, Li Mingfan.
If they insist on dividing the family property, wouldn't that mean the only son is unwilling to support his elderly parents?
The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Li family are not like that at all!
Therefore, there is only one possibility: Yuehuai went too far! He did something heinous, but his mother-in-law was unwilling to say it in the letter!
"...You're right, my sister-in-law is a very good person, she's never complained in all these years..."
"Honey, that's why we have to go back and see for ourselves what's really going on before we comment, okay?"
Chi Dashan was worried that his wife would go back with negative emotions and prejudices, which would only cause more trouble!
Nobody wants to see their sister-in-law driven to desperation and do something drastic!
In the end, my wife will definitely regret it.
That's why he had to say so much to his wife.
"Yeah, Brother Dashan, you're so smart."
Sister-in-law Chi looked at the man beside her with eyes full of adoration and dependence.
So many years have passed, and she still relies on this man just as much, and he remains as reliable as ever.
Marrying him might be the best decision she's ever made in her life.
"If I weren't smart, how could I be so lucky as to marry you?"
Chi Dashan pulled his wife into his arms and let her lean on his shoulder.
The two sat side by side, gazing at the familiar scenery before them, their eyes filled with tenderness.
“My uncle and aunt have such a good relationship. Why don’t I have a mother like that?” Si Lang suddenly said.
Shiro leaned on the railing opposite the pool, looking somewhat melancholy.
An'an lowered her head and said softly yet stubbornly, "We have our own mother."
"Brother, you were lost because Mother was greedy. Don't you hold any grudge against her at all?"
