Chapter 58: Chapter 58: Letting Her off Easy
Translator: 549690339
Mrs. Wang had not expected the situation to be as it was; naturally, she felt guilty, yet she did not regret her own actions. Su Wenyue had always been her nemesis. Ever since Su Wenyue had arrived at the Han Family, her days had never been good. The only regret and annoyance she harbored was that she missed the opportunity to gain any advantage from Su Wenyue this time. Furthermore, the day when big brother’s gambling debt was due was drawing nearer and nearer. If she couldn’t come up with a solution, the gambling house people would not let her big brother off the hook.
“Third sister-in-law, why aren’t you speaking? Weren’t you quite capable? I had no idea you could be so eloquent until I saw it with my own eyes these past days. Why are you silent now? Feeling guilty, huh?!” Mrs. Liu was ruthless when she had the upper hand.
Mrs. Wang felt annoyed at this idiot, Mrs. Liu, who only served to irritate her. She didn’t want to continue being squeezed by Mrs. Liu, so she turned to Mrs. Yang and said, “Mother, I’m feeling a bit unwell in my stomach. I’ll go back to my room.”
With that, Mrs. Wang let Han Lin carefully help her back to her room, serving her step by step as though she was very precious. Mrs. Yang watched with a heavy heart; her once fine son had become something else entirely, completely at the behest of his wife.
“You see that? She always uses the child in her stomach to make excuses. When I and the second sister-in-law were pregnant, we never made such a fuss. We don’t even know if the baby in her stomach is a boy or a girl; who knows what she’ll give birth to! She does something wrong and hides back in her room— how convenient for her!”
Mrs. Liu said whatever came to mind, with no consideration or filter, especially after having had enough of Mrs. Wang’s antics. Because Mrs. Wang relied on the child in her womb to gain advantages, which Mrs. Liu had been forced to endure, she now seized the chance to strike back fiercely. But before she could say much, Mrs. Wang retreated to her room, which naturally upset Mrs. Liu.
It wasn’t just Mrs. Wang’s fault that Su Wenyue had returned to her mother’s family; Mrs. Yang was to blame too. Mrs. Yang felt bitter inside when she heard Mrs. Liu’s unrelenting words. Irritated, she slammed her hand down on the table.
“Enough! Haven’t you had your fill of arguing and yelling like this? We’re a family. Eldest daughter-in-law, if you’ve got nothing better to do, go work in the field. The crops might even grow better. Second daughter-in-law, there’s a child in your stomach, stay away from trouble. If anything happens to my eldest grandson, I won’t take it lightly!”
Mrs. Liu was livid with her mother-in-law’s reprimand, “Mother, it was the third daughter-in-law who did wrong. Why are you scolding me? Isn’t this too biased? No wonder the fourth daughter-in-law was driven back to her mother’s family.”
“If you’re not satisfied, then give me a precious grandson yourself. I guarantee I’ll take care of you just like the third daughter-in-law. But unfortunately, you’re useless; you’ve had two tries and both are daughters. When you were pregnant, I spared no efforts in taking care of you with good food and drink.” Mrs. Yang was also upset when she mentioned this. As the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu only had two daughters and no son. At his age, the eldest son still had no heir.
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt deflated and closed her mouth, daring not to say more. For a woman, a son was the greatest support in life, yet she still had no son, which was very worrying. In the past two years, she had tried everything, consumed numerous prescriptions, but there was still no news from her stomach.
In contrast, Han Hu, who had listened to Mrs. Yang, although he too yearned for a son, seeing his two daughters standing there dejectedly, he was inevitably heartbroken, “Mother, let’s not mention this. I have two obedient daughters, and I’m pleased with them.”
