"The head of the household says, letās hold off on this matter for now, and prioritize your sister-in-lawās side. That couple is not quarreling; your sister-in-law is probably speaking out of anger. Second brother, you should think about how to coax her back; thatās the main issue. Itās hot outside; letās go in first, lest Mother gets upset and falls ill," Hu Leiās wife, Liu Cuiāer, said with a shrewd smile, her eyes gleaming.
Hu Bin looked at his elder brother and sister-in-lawās expressions and sneered inwardly, "No need, dividing the family is the most important thing. Tomorrow, Iāll go to the neighborhood committee and have them come over. Mom, all these years, Iāve complied in every way with you, so filial that I didnāt even care for my own wife and children. Iāve been manipulated by you all my life, and Iāve had enough. Iām not stupid; itās not that you donāt want to split the family, itās because youāre thinking about my money, thinking that Xiaoqing is soft-natured and easy to manipulate, so that she can be the maid for the whole family?" Last year, because of the wage card issue, he wanted to divide the family; nowās the perfect time.
"Heartless, oh eldest, look, look! My painstakingly raised son turns out to be a heartless creature. Useless in my old age, Iām despised, I donāt want to live anymore, son... I donāt want to live anymore," Old Fish Woman beat her chest and stomped her feet, crying out heartbreakingly without shedding a tear, just sitting there without much movement.
Afraid of softening his heart again, Hu Bin didnāt linger, got up and went to his room to pack a few clothes, saying he would stay at work for the time being before leaving.
Tomorrow, heāll have the neighborhood committee come and explain.
...After Lin Wan and the group returned home, Grandma called the eldest uncle and mother-in-law into the room, spoke for a long time, and when they came out, both Grandma and the mother-in-law had been crying.
"Stay at home in peace, donāt return with Hu Bin just because he says a couple of sentences this time. Speak more firmly in the future; you canāt be so soft-natured anymore. If you can hold Hu Bin in your hands, wouldnāt he obediently listen to you? How could his mother bully you? As you get older, all the money you earn gets exploited by that old woman; what will you do in the future? Hu Bin will not divorce you, but this time no matter what, you have to divide the family," Shen Haitao lectured his younger sister with the authority of an elder brother, secretly despising Hu Bin, wondering what kind of man doesnāt prioritize his own nuclear family after marriage.
"Did you hear? Listen carefully to what your elder brother says, or worst-case, learn from your sister-in-law," Han Ying said, giving the eldest a meaningful look.
Shen Haitao felt guilty under Han Yingās gaze, pulled a long face, and said, "Mom, what did I do now? Didnāt you teach us to treat our wives well since childhood?" What did he do wrong this time?
"You..." Han Ying was cut off by the eldest, well, who could be blamed for this matter?
The two sons listened to him, but his precious daughter didnāt inherit any of his true teachings.
The eldest son cherishes his wife, but the eldest daughter-in-law is a handful.
Ah, this life, the first half was smooth, but why is the latter half so vexing?
The eldest daughter-in-law likes to take advantage sometimes, but she knows to prioritize her own family and protect her children. Sheās not muddle-headed in big matters.
The younger sonās family are capable of managing things well, and their child is easy to care for, so she doesnāt worry about them.
Now, her greatest concern is her daughter. Itās entirely her fault, spoiling her from a young age. Made one mistake and her personality changed back, but now sheās too weak, always feeling inferior, and doesnāt know how to resist when bullied.
After coming out, Lin Wan quickly helped her mother-in-law treat the wound; except for some nail scratches on the arm, the waist had been kicked once, which now shows nothing, but a bruise might appear by tomorrow, nothing serious. However, some hair had been pulled out.
