Shen Yunsheng sneered. They had already separated their families, yet this old vile woman still wanted to order them around. She really had a lot of face to lose.
Seeing that Shen Yunsheng remained silent, Granny Yang continued, "This was arranged by your father-in-law. After the farewell dinner, your second uncle will return to the academy."
"Whoever made the arrangements should do it. I still need to go up the mountain to chop firewood." Shen Yunsheng had been saying she would go up the mountain, but she never had the time. Now that the family had separated, she could go whenever she wanted.
Xiao Wanqing didn't want to cook either; she planned to go back to the restaurant as soon as possible to raise money for her brother's medicine.
"Grandma, you know our family situation. We really don't have time to cook for you."
"You brat, don't think that just because we've separated the family, I can't boss you around." Granny Yang scolded angrily. Even though they had separated the family, she was still the head of the Xiao family. She would just have to wait and see what happened to Wanqing. She would definitely find her a 'good husband'.
"Grandma, if you're angry, take it out on me. Don't make things difficult for Wanqing."
Shen Yunsheng instinctively shielded her sister-in-law behind her. This old, vicious woman was a domestic abuser, and she was genuinely afraid that she would hit her sister-in-law.
When Yang Pozi saw her eldest son come to the east wing, she immediately showed weakness, saying, "How dare I order you around? You even dare to scold your father-in-law, let alone an old woman like me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wenjing immediately glared at Shen Yunsheng, "Jingchuan's son, you're getting bolder and bolder. I asked you to cook a meal, and you're cursing me behind my back."
Shen Yunsheng was truly exasperated with her father-in-law. He believed everything the old poisonous woman said, and deserved to be leeched off.
"Father, my sister-in-law didn't scold you." Xiao Wanqing quickly explained when her father became angry.
“Dad, I really didn’t scold you. The old lady asked me to cook, but I just said I was going up the mountain to chop firewood, and she got angry.”
“Jingchuan’s family, would I wrong you?”
Granny Yang suddenly raised her voice; at that moment, she really wanted to slap Shen Yunsheng to death.
"Mother, don't be angry. I will teach her a good lesson." Seeing that his mother was unhappy, Xiao Wenjing immediately went to help her up.
Shen Yunsheng was very upset. She thought that after separating from her husband, she could live a peaceful life, but she didn't expect that her father-in-law would be even more difficult to deal with than those wicked mothers-in-law.
When her son stepped forward to rebuke Shen Yunsheng, Granny Yang was very pleased. She glanced at Shen Yunsheng and then put on a show of feigned concern.
“Son, please don’t say anything to her, otherwise she’ll go around saying I’m harsh on her.”
“Now that she has married into our family, she must abide by the family rules. I will never indulge her.”
Xiao Wenjing wished he could beat Shen Yunsheng to a pulp. Other people's daughters-in-law would try their best to please their fathers-in-law, but she dared to go against him.
Xiao Jingchuan, who was in the bedroom, was furious with his father. The old woman had only said a few words to him, and his father had already fallen for her tricks.
"Father, before you punish me, I have some good news to tell you." Shen Yunsheng smiled at her father-in-law. The old vile woman wanted her father-in-law to deal with her; she was really delusional.
"Wh...what good news?" Xiao Wenjing asked, puzzled. He was about to discipline his daughter-in-law, but she was still smiling.
Shen Yunsheng glanced at Granny Yang before smiling and saying, "My husband seems to be able to move again. I originally wanted to tell you in advance, but the old lady was busy dividing the family property, so I didn't have a chance to say it."
Xiao Wenjing hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"Can it really move?"
“It’s absolutely true. When I was wiping him down this morning, his fingers twitched a few times.” Shen Yunsheng nodded seriously. She decided to take the credit for this, hoping that her father-in-law would change his opinion of her.
Granny Yang was puzzled. How could this be? That was an illness that even the army doctors said was incurable. How could it suddenly get better?
"Jingchuan's family, this is no laughing matter." Xiao Wenjing was half-believing and half-doubting. If it was true, then it would truly be a blessing from heaven.
“How could your daughter-in-law joke about something like this? You can go and see for yourself right now,” Shen Yunsheng said confidently.
"Impossible, it must be fake." Granny Yang simply didn't believe it. They had only just separated their households, and her second grandson could already do this? Wasn't this a slap in her face?
Shen Yunsheng sneered, "Grandma, what do you mean? My husband is showing signs of waking up, and instead of being happy for him, you're questioning me."
Xiao Wanqing added insult to injury, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. It's normal for the old lady not to believe it. She's afraid that if my brother suddenly wakes up, she won't be able to face him."
Granny Yang was so angry that her face turned red. What a clever trick to sow discord! If her eldest son was completely disillusioned, she would have no chance to gain any benefits in the future.
“Father! Your daughter-in-law is not lying to you. Since last night, my husband’s body temperature has been the same as a normal person’s. If nothing unexpected happens, he will wake up soon.”
Shen Yunsheng knew that her father-in-law genuinely hoped that her husband would wake up soon, and she didn't want him to live in fear.
Xiao Wenjing was overjoyed upon hearing this. He left his mother behind and immediately followed his daughter-in-law and youngest daughter to his son's room.
Upon entering the room, Xiao Wenjing went straight to the bedside and carefully observed his son. He saw that his son's fingers seemed to have actually moved, and a surge of excitement welled up in his heart.
"This, this is true! Thank God, my son is finally getting better." Tears welled up in Xiao Wenjing's eyes.
Shen Yunsheng comforted him from the side, "Father, don't worry, my husband will get better slowly. You can just wait to enjoy your life from now on."
Xiao Wenjing nodded repeatedly; at this moment, his attitude towards his daughter-in-law had also changed.
"I misunderstood you this time, and I need to tell you that, right?"
Hearing this, Shen Yunsheng was secretly delighted. As long as her father-in-law stopped listening to the old poisonous woman's instigation, she was confident that she could reform him.
"Father, you're too kind. Your daughter-in-law has also done wrong, and I hope you'll forgive her."
As soon as Shen Yunsheng finished speaking, Granny Yang, who entered the room shortly afterward, sneered coldly.
