Chapter 213: You won’t use the baby in your belly to bully him?
Liu Pandi complained to her mother-in-law, hoping that she would stand on her side and lecture her man. After all, her man listened to her mother-in-law. However, she did not expect that her mother-in-law would not stand on her side and she was scolded by her mother-in-law.
No matter how bad her mother is, she is still her family. How can her mother-in-law say that about her family?
"Mom, my family treats Xiangxi very well, but they just won't say it. You know, my family is in a difficult situation. If my family was better off, Xiangxi and I would go back, and they would definitely treat Xiangxi with good food and wine. But we don't have the conditions to do so."
Old Lady Shen snorted, "Whose life isn't difficult these days? Why is it that only your family has such a hard time that your son-in-law comes to your house and you don't even have a sip of water to drink?"
Liu Pandi wanted to defend him, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with any words to defend him. She curled her lips and said, "Anyway, my family has never treated Xiangxi, their son-in-law, badly."
"Whether you have been treated unfairly or not, you know it in your heart. Your own man doesn't even know how to feel sorry for you, so don't come and complain to me that my son treats you badly and treats your family badly.
I don't want to talk about the behavior of you and your family members." Old Mrs. Shen didn't want to pay attention to Liu Pan and went back to the house with the cloth and needlework.
Liu Pandi could tell that her mother-in-law had something against her family. No wonder her mother-in-law was not at home every time her mother came over. It turned out that she did not like her family very much and did not even want to entertain them.
Her husband also has some grievances against her family, and he has rarely gone back to her parents' home with her in recent years.
Everyone in the Shen family treated Liu Pan as an outsider, and also treated her, the Liu family's in-laws, as outsiders.
She touched her bulging belly and straightened her back. She planned to wait until her son was born. She would not rely on anyone but her son. She would see who dared to look at her in a bad light.
Liu Pandi was about to turn around and go back to her room to sleep when she turned around and saw her mother walking in.
"Mom, why are you here?"
Old Lady Liu's sharp voice rang out, "You are pregnant now, aren't you? Come and see how you are."
When Old Lady Shen in the room heard Old Lady Liu's voice, she closed the door immediately. She didn't want to bother with this old woman.
Seeing that the door of her mother-in-law's room was closed in a flash like the wind, Liu Pandi's mouth froze.
Old Lady Liu had not noticed her in-laws' room, and when she saw her daughter with a sullen face, she thought it was Liu Pan who was looking at her to see if she was welcome.
"Why, do you think you are strong now, Old Bang Huaizhu? You don't need your family anymore? You don't even like me, your own mother?"
Liu Pandi quickly put on a smile and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? You are my real mother, how can I not welcome you? I am very happy that you came to see me."
In fact, Liu Pandi didn't want her biological mother to come over, because every time her mother came over, she either asked her to bring money or food. She could not bring anything and would be scolded by her mother, which was very embarrassing.
Old Lady Liu looked around the yard and saw no one there. She was quite dissatisfied. Why didn't anyone from the Shen family come out to welcome her when her relative came?
"Where's your husband? His mother-in-law is here, why don't you come out and greet her?"
"He's helping someone fix the roof."
"He is very active in repairing roofs for others, but he has never been to my mother-in-law's house to help sweep the snow. Your father is so old and still has to climb the roof and sweep the snow. Alas, it's the same as having no son-in-law. I have raised my daughter in vain."
Liu Pandi felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Her mother was playing tricks on her and her man. "Mom, what do my brother and younger brother do for a living? They are grown men, can't they even go up to the roof and sweep the snow?
At worst, we still have my nephews. Why does an old man like my dad have to go and sweep the snow? My family always let the family guards sweep the snow."
"How could your brother, your younger brother, and your nephew get up so early? Besides, the roof is so slippery, what if they accidentally fall down? You silly girl, why don't you feel sorry for your brother, your younger brother, and your nephew?"
"They have their own wives to worry about, and they have you as their biological mother. Why should I, a married girl, care about you? You are so eager to show your support. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law will be dissatisfied."
Old lady Liu told the old man about sweeping the snow in order to make the girl feel sorry for her father and let her son-in-law help them with the housework. She talked for a long time, but the girl didn't understand. She even said that her son and grandson were useless. Old lady Liu was very angry.
"What are you still standing here for? Go get me a bowl of hot water. It's freezing cold and I can't even get a sip of hot water. Do you want to freeze your mother to death?"
Liu Pandi took her time to pour a bowl of hot water. Thinking of her mother-in-law's words, she asked, "Mom, every time Xiangxi came to our Liu's house, why didn't you give him some water to drink, why didn't you invite him to dinner?"
The little girl must be worried about her man. No wonder she was so indifferent to him this time. Old Lady Liu pretended to wipe away her tears.
"You are blaming your family for treating your husband badly. Did your son-in-law say anything to you? Oh, blame your mother. I was not considerate enough. I thought Xiangxi was the son-in-law of our Liu family.
There is no difference between a son-in-law and a son. I always treat him as my own son. He is my son now, and our Liu family is also his family.
Why do you need anyone to entertain you when you return home? You can do whatever you want and eat whatever you want at home.
I didn’t expect you to misunderstand me, ah…”
Liu Pandi looked at Old Lady Liu with suspicion, "Mom, do you really think so? Don't you dislike Xiangxi?"
"What are you thinking, girl? She is my son-in-law, how could I dislike him?"
After her mother said this, Liu Pandi felt much better. In the future, when her mother-in-law said that her family was not good to Xiangxi, she would have a reason to refute it. Her parents treated Xiangxi as their own son.
"Mom, you must be hungry. I'll prepare something for you to eat."
"I'm really hungry. Just cook anything you want. Do you have eggs at home? Fry two for me."
"Mom, there are no eggs, only two sweet potatoes. You can eat the sweet potatoes. They are delicious."
Liu Pandi wanted to prepare something delicious for her mother, but just as she stepped out of the kitchen door, she pulled her foot back. She didn't have the key to the food cabinet, and without food, she couldn't cook anything delicious.
After coming all this way, just to let her eat sweet potatoes, Old Lady Liu was not happy. "You haven't got the key to the food cabinet yet, have you?"
Liu Pan nodded, "Not yet."
Old lady Liu was really disappointed with her daughters. Among them, Liu Pandi was the best married one, but she was the least promising one, unable to even control a man.
"You're already pregnant, won't you use the baby in your belly to bully him? If he doesn't give it to you, won't you say you'll take the baby back to your parents' home and not let the baby have the surname Shen after it's born?"
The son-in-law no longer acknowledges that dead girl Shen Xue, and now values the child in Pan Di's belly very much. Pan Di said this, and he doesn't believe that he can't control his son-in-law.
