After Tang Ci moved out, Tang's mother lost her appetite for several days.
But in such a big provincial capital, she had no idea where to look.
Bai Weiwei seized the opportunity and went to the Tang family to show her courtesy every few days.
"Don't be angry, Auntie. It's not worth it to ruin your health for someone who is not worth it." Bai Weiwei held Tang's mother's hand in a very intimate manner.
Tang's mother held Bai Weiwei's hand and said, "Weiwei, you are really good. You know how to think about others. It would be so great if my Tang Ci could marry you.
You both served in the military and got along well, and your brother is a martyr—what a great honor! It's a shame my Tang Ci was bewitched by that little vixen," said Tang's mother with deep regret.
"Mom, what little vixen? Who is the little vixen? Where are my brother and sister-in-law? Why is the child not here?"
Tang Shi strode forward and calmly pushed Bai Weiwei aside.
On the way here, she had heard what had happened from Tang's father.
But Tang's father talked for a long time without explaining clearly. He just said that Tang's mother's temper was getting worse and worse, and she couldn't stand Tang Meilan in every way. Now Bai Weiwei got involved, and everything was a mess.
At first, Tang Shi was a little skeptical.
Everyone can see how good her mother is to Sister Meilan. If you randomly grab anyone in the alley and ask them who has the best mother-in-law, no one will rank first except Tang's mother.
But as soon as she entered the door, she saw someone named Bai Weiwei leading her mother to say some nonsense.
Her mother kept agreeing with her, relegating Tang Meilan to the dust.
Tang Shi's heart sank.
Her mother is really confused.
Why would you push away a daughter-in-law like Sister Meilan who is family-oriented, makes money, and has capable sisters supporting her behind the scenes instead of holding on to her?
"Mom, tell me, where did this little vixen come from to seduce people? I'll go take a look. I've seen her before."
Tang's mother couldn't respond and started to change the subject. "Xiao Shi, shouldn't you be working at the factory at this hour? How can you just be a miner? If you don't make money, you won't be able to support your family."
Tang Shi said in a slightly cold tone, "I don't want to work anymore. I have to hand over my salary every month to my mother-in-law, and the money I have left is not enough for me to buy two feet of cloth.
Even so, my mother-in-law is still not satisfied and wants me to give my position to my sister-in-law. Mom, how can this person change so quickly? When I married into their family, they said that I would spend my own money and hurry up to have children, and I don't have to worry about anything else.
But within two or three years, they started finding all sorts of excuses to make things difficult for me. Now, apart from not helping them with food, clothing, and shelter, all the household chores, big and small, have fallen on me. "Mom, if I had known, I wouldn't have gotten married. Marriage is not good at all."
As soon as Tang Shi finished speaking, Tang's mother stood up anxiously.
"Let's go to the Shen family and reason with them. What kind of person is this? He says one thing and does another. Do you really think my Tang family has no one? If you can't afford it, you shouldn't have made such a boast. It's not like no one wants a girl from our Tang family. She has a brother in the army and a job. She can easily find a man who is a million times better."
After saying that, Tang's mother searched the room for something useful.
Bring everything including feather dusters and rolling pins.
Tang Shi folded her arms over her chest and sneered, "Mom, you also think this is too much, but aren't these all the things you did to your sister-in-law? Do you think that your sister-in-law doesn't have any contact with her father anymore and she has no family to rely on, so you can bully her as much as you want?
My sister-in-law isn't bad either. Before going to the countryside, she worked at a newspaper in the provincial capital, having earned the position based on her talent and knowledge. The money she has won't only allow her to live a life of luxury, but it will at least provide her with enough food and clothing for several years. Just look at how she's been living since coming to our house.
Don't bother with your old-fashioned rhetoric. Now is now, not your time. Times are different, so the way we live is also different. Don't talk every day as if we are living in a life of luxury because we live in this era. We have to endure the same hardships.
Tang's mother reacted and lowered her head in shame.
"Mr. Bai, you can leave now. We have some family matters to take care of." Tang Shi said expressionlessly.
Bai Weiwei understood Tang Shi's intention when she said that.
She didn't expect Tang Meilan to be so popular in the Tang family. Except for Tang's mother, everyone spoke well of her.
No wonder she could charm Tang Ci so much that he was willing to break up with his parents for her.
"This must be Sister Tang Shi, right? I often hear my aunt mention you, saying that you are smart, clever, and decisive, just like her when she was young." Bai Weiwei said with an awkward smile.
"I know I'm very good, and I don't need you to flatter me. If you have nothing to do, just leave."
She is in a hurry now and has no time to argue with strangers.
"Aunt and I are close friends now, regardless of age. Plus, I've been in the army and have seen a lot of things. If you really have any problems, I can give you some advice."
"No need. These are just trivial matters. We don't need you, who has seen the world, to help us make decisions."
After saying that, Tang Shi kicked the man out of the door.
Close the door and latch it in one go.
Seeing this, Tang's father slipped into the house.
He couldn't convince his old wife, so he hoped Tang Shi could persuade her to change her mind.
It was normal for a family to have some bumps in the road, but they couldn't dwell on them. He felt that his wife was just being too picky, making small things into bigger and bigger things.
Of course, the main reason why he hid was that if a fight broke out, it would be bad for him to help anyone, so it would be better for him not to be there.
"Mom, where does your hostility towards my sister-in-law come from? Has she been starving you of food or drink all these years? How did it get to this point? Where are my brother and sister-in-law? They didn't really move out with the kids, did they?"
Tang's mother replied with a slightly aggrieved tone, "Yes, they moved away. It's been almost a week."
"Why didn't anyone tell me about such a big thing happening at home?" If Tang's father hadn't taken the initiative to find her, she would have had no idea about this matter at all, and maybe when she came back, her parents' home would be gone.
"It's not good for a married woman like you to always interfere in your parents' affairs. Besides, what's the point of you coming back? Your sister-in-law is as stubborn as a donkey and won't listen to anyone."
"Then you should reflect on yourself. My sister-in-law, who was so easy to talk to, has become so stubborn because of you. What on earth did you do?"
Unreasonable.
She had only been away for half a year, yet she had changed so much, and so had the world.
"I just don't like her. She holds her head high every day as if she is noble. I don't care. I am her mother-in-law. As long as I am here, she has no place in this family."
Tang's mother felt jealous.
She also wanted to be a good mother-in-law, and she did so at first.
But the better he treated Tang Meilan, the more aggrieved he felt.
The grievances he suffered when he first arrived at the Tang family gradually came to his mind, and he unknowingly said many harsh words to Tang Meilan.
