Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Doubtful Expression_1 Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Doubtful Expression_1 “You! Li Xiaoi, is this how you act as a daughter-in-law, daring to talk back to your mother-in-law, questioning her decisions? Is this how your parents taught you at ho?!”
The Wei Family knew they had always favored the eldest and the youngest sons, making the second son’s wife feel uncomfortable. Just like the five fingers on one hand are not the sa length, she hadn’t completely disregarded the second son’s interests. Besides, the second son and his brothers were siblings; why make such a fuss? Although Mrs. Wei felt she was not in the wrong, she did not want to alienate her second son. Therefore, she beca even more aggressive toward her daughter-in-law, attempting to intimidate Li Xiaoi into silence with her authority.
“Mother, why are you yelling at like this! Am I wrong? Are you not biased? It’s true, my parents taught to be respectful and filial to my in-laws, but they also said that if the treatnt at the husband’s family is too unbearable, there is no need to endure it. I am not without a family of my own; I don’t have to put up with such grievances. If anyone dares to bully , my parents and brothers would never stand for it,” Li Xiaoi retorted.
Mrs. Wei was taken aback by Li Xiaoi’s words. She knew that if Li Xiaoi really made a scene with her family, her own cousins would not be easy to deal with. Furthermore, given that she was the one who was wrong in this instance, and considering how much her cousins adored their daughter, a big fuss was inevitable. The more Mrs. Wei thought about it, the more she regretted having been so enthusiastic about marrying this niece into the family. Now that Li Xiaoi was showing her difficult nature, was she, the mother-in-law, expected to bow her head?
Mrs. Wei felt suffocated with anger. Having been dominant for most of her life, she could never admit her mistake to soone younger. Rubbing her stifled chest, she said, “Second son, control your wife. Do you want to anger to death?”
Zhao Cheng looked first at his defiant wife and then at his still furious mother and two brothers. In the end, he followed his own wishes and stood by his wife’s side, having endured enough for many years. He no longer wanted to keep living this way. He wanted his mother to give a proper explanation.
“Mother, what my wife said isn’t exactly wrong. Just where did I fail to et your expectations? Why do you always favor my third brother and fifth brother? Could it be that I’m not really your own flesh and blood?” Zhao Cheng had never thought this way, but once the words left his mouth, he couldn’t help but have so doubts—there must be a reason his mother was so partial to his eldest and third brothers.
Mrs. Wei could clearly see what her own son was thinking, especially the doubt on Zhao Cheng’s face, which felt like a stab to her heart. “You’re not my own flesh and blood? Then, did you spring from a crack in a rock?! Really, marrying a wife and forgetting your mother—Second, you’re truly a ‘good’ son of mine, helping your wife against your mother. I’ve raised you in vain all these years.”
“Mother, why must you bla everything on , the daughter-in-law? Being partial all these years, anyone would feel discontent and resentnt. Is it so wrong that my husband, Zhao Cheng, decided to speak up?” Li Xiaoi was not about to accept Mrs. Wei’s tactics. Seeing her husband wavering under Mrs. Wei’s words, she quickly spoke up.
“You! Li Xiaoi, I must have been blind to let the second son marry such a wife as you, stirring up discord between my son and .” Mrs. Wei was really furious now, her words becoming almost incoherent.
Zhao Cheng stood up for his wife, “Mother, do not bla everything on Xiaoi. Those were my own words; I wanted to ask you them.”
“You! You all…” Mrs. Wei pointed at Zhao Cheng and Wei Xiaoi, almost as if she wanted to spit blood in anger, but alas, her body was too healthy to produce any.
