Chapter 3 - Chapter Three: the Best of the best (1/2)
The next day, Lin Lei saw that there was very little rice in the bowl on the dining table. The water in the bowl was indeed more than half of the bowl. She could not help but say something.
”Mother's rice is so thin that I can't eat my fill.”
Tang Shufen threw the pickled vegetable plate on the table.
”CAN'T EAT MY FILL? You're not the only one who can't eat your fill. How can we eat our fill? Why don't you do anything at home? Do you only think about eating? Are you a pig? No wonder you're so fat. My son is so unlucky to have married you for a lifetime.”
The words were too harsh. In fact, Song De also said casually that he could not eat his fill.
”My child is not full. Tomorrow, you cook more and add more rice to the pot. Isn't that enough?”
Lin Lei looked left and right and spoke.
”Why don't we split up? I'll cook this food myself. This way, my mother-in-law won't have to worry about me.”
She thought to herself, 'If I don't eat your rice, you won't have the right to criticize me.'
Tang Shufen looked at her with contempt.
”SPLIT UP? Do you have food to eat? Can you farm? What can you do? Do you know how to cook? ”
She was so fat that she definitely wouldn't work at home. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She had just entered the house and was already thinking about splitting up. Why didn't she stuff herself to death!
Lin Lei was so angry that she put the empty bowl on the table.
”I can learn things that I don't know. You can just give me the money Song Yi sent. I can go out and live alone. You don't have to worry about it.”
When Tang Shufen heard this, she slammed the table angrily.
”Why should I give you the money my son earns? You want to split up after three days. Let me tell you, I don't agree. If you mention splitting up again, you can quickly pack up your junk and get lost!”
Her mother-in-law was so angry that she bared her teeth and brandished her claws. Li Hui, who was at the side, smiled like a tiger.
”Sister-in-law, I don't want to criticize you. I've been in the family for three years, and I haven't broken up with anyone. Why do you want to split up? Other families only split up after losing their elders. It's impossible for our family to be split up now. We'll be laughed at by the villagers. Don't you understand? As expected, you're still too young. You always think of yourself as free and unfettered. If everyone was like you, would you still let the elders in the village live?”
Lin Lei heard what they said, and in a moment of anger, she flipped the table.
”Why? Just because I'm Song Yi's wife, and my brother lost everything because he saved Song Yi, does this family have to be split up? Without my brother, Song Yi wouldn't be here. Think about it. I'm your family's great benefactor.”
