Chapter 49: The Tricky Daughter-in-Law



This was the first time Su Lixuan had heard such gossip. She originally thought that Lu Wanqin was the kind of person who doted on her son and raised a mama's boy. She was reluctant to let her son work, so she was picky about her daughter-in-law.

He dislikes his daughter-in-law for being lazy, for not working, and for not serving his son well enough.

But who knew that after hearing the whole story, she found that it was not what she had misunderstood at all.

Lu Wanqin's daughter-in-law is a pure weirdo.

She was speechless: "Aunt Lu...does your son know about these things?"

If I knew this and still let him go, I would just as well not have this son.

Lu Wanqin shook her head: "He doesn't know."

"You don't know?" Su Lixuan was even more surprised. "Aunt Lu, have you never told your son?"

"That won't do. Even if I don't want my son to be distracted from his work, I can't just swallow all my grievances."

Speaking of this, Lu Wanqin's eyes turned red, and she didn't know what to say: "No, I'm not that great."

"I said it!" Not only did she say it, she even made a fuss in front of her son, but it was no use!

"My son doesn't believe me."

This is even more unbelievable. Su Lixuan's face is full of disbelief.

Li Yanhong knew something about the situation, but she had no idea what to do: "Li Xuan, if you had met your Aunt Lu's daughter-in-law, you would understand what's going on."

"Before you married in, your aunt Lu's wife was the most beautiful girl in our compound."

Su Lixuan still didn't understand. No matter how beautiful the daughter-in-law was, a son couldn't trust his daughter-in-law instead of his own mother just by looking at her face.

As if she could see what she was thinking, Li Yanhong explained, "Your Aunt Lu's daughter-in-law isn't as pretty as you. She's... how should I put it, she just looks pitiful."

"When people stand there, they're like that sick Xi Shi, especially when they're trying to decide whether to cry or not. I saw it once, and it felt like my voice could scare her to death if I raised it a little bit."

"Just like this, you said your Aunt Lu's son came back from a business trip, and on one side was his loud and fierce mother, and on the other side was his daughter-in-law who looked weak and pitiful, as if she had suffered a great injustice."

"If it were you, could you believe that your Aunt Lu was the one being bullied?"

Su Lixuan: “…”

This was the first time in Lin Wenhui's life that she had heard of such a thing.

It's really eye-opening.

She scratched her head and said, "Mom, Aunt Lu's son doesn't believe it, so why don't you just help testify?"

"With so many of you guys saying this, how can you not believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yanhong and Lu Wanqin looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

Li Yanhong: "It's because there are so many people speaking up for you that your Aunt Lu's son doesn't believe it."

"It's as if we old neighbors are biased and taking sides just because we have a good relationship with your Aunt Lu."

It's not right for outsiders like them to get involved in this kind of thing, and it's also not right for them not to get involved.

Over time it becomes difficult to manage.

Lu Wanqin wiped her tears and said, "That evil guy, he just believes what his wife says. He always thinks that my loud voice is just to bully his weak wife when he is not at home."

She angrily said, "Whose weak little wife has nothing better to do than raise mice at home all day?!"

"And I raise so many of them. I don't know how much my neighbors dislike my family..."

Su Lixuan took a deep breath. Not to mention the neighbors, they all lived in the same compound. When she suddenly heard that there were mice in Aunt Lu's house, her hair stood on end.

"Aunt Lu, don't cry. I have a clean handkerchief here for you to wipe your face. We still have to find a way to solve the problem."

The problem had to be solved, and she didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but who could stand living in the same yard with a "rat expert"?

Aunt Lu is in good health now and can still work hard to kill mice and clean the house. However, once Aunt Lu becomes sick because of her daughter-in-law or completely gives up her job, the army of mice may grow even stronger.

It's okay in the winter, but when it gets hot in the summer, rats and mice will sneak into your house with bacteria. If there's a family that's not particular about things, they might get something eaten by rats and not want to throw it away, so they eat the rest themselves...

If some infectious disease breaks out... they live so close to each other that they won't be able to hide.

She doesn't want to get the plague!!!

Su Lixuan made a bitter face as she eagerly tried to help Aunt Lu find a solution: "Aunt, have you ever tried to quit before your son goes on vacation?"

Given how sloppy Aunt Lu's daughter-in-law is, if Aunt Lu doesn't work for a few days, her house will probably look like a garbage dump.

When Aunt Lu's son comes back from vacation and sees with his own eyes what has become of his home, he will have to believe what his mother said even if he doesn't want to.

Lu Wanqin took Su Lixuan's hand and patted it gently. She was not an ungrateful person. She hated her daughter-in-law, but other people's daughters-in-law had not offended her.

Especially the daughter-in-law of her old sister Li Yanhong was so considerate, thinking about her and helping her find solutions. Lu Wanqin only regretted that she had not met such a warm-hearted girl before she got married.

After taking the handkerchief and wiping her face, Lu Wanqin gave her old sister a sour look: "You are lucky to have a good daughter-in-law, unlike me who has a debt collector."

After that, she softened her tone and answered Su Lixuan's question: "I have tried it, of course I have tried it, but it didn't work."

"She turned the tables in front of my son, saying I had deliberately messed up the house just to smear her."

It can be said that her daughter-in-law has blocked all her ways of filing a complaint.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be forced to act like a mad woman.

Lu Wanqin: "And she's really good at pretending in front of my son. Whenever he's home on holiday, she does all the chores around the house. Even if I cough twice, she'll immediately pour me a glass of water."

You know, even if she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, her daughter-in-law wouldn't even lend a hand to take care of her.

As a result, she pretended to be so filial in front of her son.

Lu Wanqin’s experience can be summed up in one sentence - she has no words to express her suffering!

She pretends to be less capable than her daughter-in-law, and no one can tolerate her. She can't hold her anger in front of her son, and she will smash the cup when her daughter-in-law pours her water.

In her son's eyes, Lu Wanqin was an unreasonable and shrewd old woman who found ways to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

Li Yanhong sighed and said sympathetically, "So after all this, your Aunt Lu's son and his wife have become closer."

"He probably felt that he had to travel so frequently, which was already unfair to his wife. When he was not at home, his wife had to be tortured by his own mother. He felt guilty and wanted to make it up to his wife with all his heart."

"Just last time he came back from a business trip, his wife secretly complained that she had no time to go back to her parents' home because she had to take care of her grandmother-in-law at her husband's house. She even had no time to take care of her own father when he was in the hospital."

"After hearing this, how can your Aunt Lu's son sit still?"

"As far as we old neighbors know, they bought a lot of things and sent them to Yue's family."

Lu Wanqin curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Not only that, his brother-in-law wants to buy a house, and the money for the house is mostly paid by him, the brother-in-law."

"I tried to stop him, but guess what that idiot said to me?"
