She was not exaggerating. She was also an old woman. If her daughter-in-law didn't reflect on herself honestly for several years, she would go crazy.
This is because her daughter and son-in-law do not live with Li Yanhong, otherwise her daughter would have to eat a lot of melon leftovers.
Duan Qinya snorted coldly: "Wait, we'll talk about having children soon. I've seen many people like your mother-in-law. She can't bear to see others happy when her own marriage is unhappy."
"I guess I'll tell Xiaojun bad things about you soon. Maybe I'll even urge Xiaojun to divorce you and find someone else who can have children."
Sun Miao's expression changed drastically: "Mom!"
Duan Qinya: "What do you mean by 'mom'? Just wait and see. Li Yanhong will first use the child as an excuse to make Xiaojun lose face. The next step will definitely be to borrow money. When that happens, Xiaojun will feel guilty for not letting Li Yanhong have a grandson. As a result, he will definitely have to agree to Li Yanhong's request for money."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yanhong spoke, but it was beyond everyone's expectations.
Li Yanhong didn't start to say bad things about Sun Miao as Duan Qinya guessed. Instead, she inexplicably started praising Sun Miao in front of Lin Jun...
Li Yanhong: "Don't think I'm nagging. Although I don't get along with your wife, it's because we both have the same temper and tend to be impatient when talking."
"But your wife has no flaws in her character. I admit this, and you have to admit it too."
Lin Jun: “?”
Li Yanhong said earnestly: "Your wife has been married to you for so many years. Even if she has no merits, she has worked hard. Our family was so poor back then. Your wife's family is well-off. After she fell in love with you, she followed you without hesitation."
"For so many years, you've lived in your father-in-law's house with nothing to lose. Xiaojun, I can't help you with anything else, but I can still speak to you about fairness."
Lin Jun laughed: "Mom, why are you suddenly telling me this?"
"Today is a celebration of my job transfer and promotion, which is a great thing. And you suddenly brought me out to talk about this out of nowhere..."
Before she could finish, Li Yanhong couldn't hold back her anger and hit him on the arm.
He emphasized with a fierce face: "I'm talking about serious matters! Did you listen to me?"
"I don't care how much you dislike me as your mother, but your wife doesn't owe you anything. Your father-in-law has helped you a lot over the years."
Lin Jun listened impatiently: "Mom, I didn't say Miaomiao owed me anything!"
The conversation between the mother and son stunned Duan Qinya and her daughter outside the alley.
Sun Miao: "Mom?"
Duan Qinya raised her hand to signal her daughter to shut up.
Don't call her mom, she wants to call you mom too now.
What's going on? Is Li Yanhong crazy?
She murmured, "Something's wrong, it's definitely wrong. How could your mother-in-law possibly be on your side? With all the things you've done over the years, if you were my daughter-in-law, I'd glare at you and look down on you."
"What was your mother-in-law thinking that she even called Xiaojun out to speak well of you..."
Sun Miao was speechless: "Mom!"
How can she talk like that? Is this still her biological mother?
Duan Qinya: "Stop arguing and keep listening. There's definitely something wrong with your mother-in-law. I suspect she has a big trick up her sleeve..."
Li Yanhong does have a big trick.
Her ultimate move was the reason her second son had found out about her eldest son's promotion.
"Xiaojun, I heard that you saved someone a while ago."
She said with certainty: "And then within half a month you got promoted, right?"
Lin Jun's face darkened. "Mom, what do you mean? Investigating me? Are you trying to say there's something fishy about my promotion?"
Li Yanhong felt bitter. She didn't care whether there was any trickery in the promotion or not. She didn't understand. What she cared about was whether there was any trickery in her eldest son's character.
Li Yanhong: "No, Xiaojun, I don't care how you were transferred..."
What she wanted to talk about today was just her eldest son's love affairs, but she didn't expect that her casual words would hurt Lin Jun's heart.
Lin Jun clenched his hands at his sides suddenly: "What do you mean you don't care how I got the job?"
"So in your heart, you've also decided, like them, that I'm a mean person, relying on nepotism to get by in the factory all these years. Now that you've finally gotten a promotion, you think I'm up to something, right?"
"No." Li Yanhong didn't know what to say. "Look at you, kid, what are you thinking about? When have I ever thought of you like that?"
"I'm your mother. I know how hard it has been for you. I asked you to move in with your father-in-law because I couldn't help you and I couldn't let you down."
She couldn't help but shed tears: "Don't blame me or think I have any opinion of you. I don't know whether the son I, Li Yanhong, gave birth to will have any future or not."
I thought of my second daughter-in-law advising me that what she and my eldest son needed most was good communication and to say whatever they wanted.
Since Li Yanhong had said this, she didn't swallow it back out of embarrassment.
I simply wiped my tears and told the truth: "For so many years, I have always been proud to have a son like you. No matter what others say, I know my son is capable!"
I have never heard my mother say such words to me. Over the years, whenever the mother and son have a conversation, they will always say a few harsh words to each other, and in between they will even make some sharp remarks to each other.
After all, they are mother and son, and they are of the same bloodline and can hardly speak.
So when he suddenly heard his mother say these things with tears in her eyes... Lin Jun felt flustered and helpless for the first time.
I want to comfort her but I don’t know how. I want to coax her to stop crying but I don’t know how.
I could only dryly take out the handkerchief from my pocket. I failed the first time, and after pulling the handkerchief out with trembling hands, I was too embarrassed to extend my hand to wipe my mother's face.
Li Yanhong didn't bother to be polite with him. She grabbed a handkerchief and wiped her face roughly, then blew her nose hard.
She had nothing to say now that she was so emotional.
She glared at her eldest son and said, "I'm not talking about your work, I'm talking about the person you saved...was she a young girl?"
…
Outside the alley, Duan Qinya and Sun Miao felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Li Yanhong crying with tears and snot, and her words were full of sadness.
The bottom line is that they snatched someone else's son away from them.
The feeling of guilt rose up uncontrollably.
But before the mother and daughter could reflect on whether they had done something wrong, Li Yanhong asked Lin Jun whether the person he saved was a young girl.
He caught the mother and daughter's minds directly, accurately and ruthlessly!
The mother and daughter looked at each other and held their breath at the same time.
Lin Jun on the other side seemed surprised as well: "Mom, how did you know?"
Li Yanhong: "I found out. And it's more than just finding out. Who did you eat with at the restaurant the day before yesterday?"
Lin Jun, who had just been so confident, was now speechless after being asked by his mother.
