Chapter 1799 Realistic Marriage
Chen Chuan looked at his daughter, then at his wife. The two faces, one big and one small, had miraculously merged together, looking unbelievably alike.
They were gossiping over there, their mouths watering.
"I heard that Old Zhang's daughter-in-law slapped her several times."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you tell me, these days daughters-in-law are really something. We never dared to fight with our mothers-in-law before."
"Exactly. My old hag used to be sowing discord, afraid that I wouldn't be able to divorce her son. I used to curse her in my heart every day. I'll wait until she gets old."
"What then?"
Everyone looked at her expectantly.
Even Caibao turned his body towards her, not even daring to blink.
"And then? She didn't live to see old age, she just passed away, haha, I felt so happy!"
Oh hoo.
The people were whispering and discussing among themselves.
Shen Xi and Chen Chuan exchanged glances but remained silent.
Suddenly, a soft, tender voice rang out—
"Grandma Feng, how are you getting along with Xiaoying's mother now?"
Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked and saw it was treasure.
Shen Xi was slightly surprised. When did this little guy wake up? And as soon as he woke up, he asked such a...sensitive question.
Is Aunt Feng's relationship with her daughter-in-law good? Everyone knows they're practically enemies.
The onlookers exchanged knowing yet suppressed laughs.
Only a child would ask such an innocent question. It's no different from pointing at a monk and asking him what the difference is between that and being a bald thief.
Everyone in the neighborhood knows that the Zhang family has the worst mother-in-law/daughter-in-law problems, and Yingying's family is second only to them. They're the kind of families that consistently top the list.
In the past, people in the neighborhood weren't fined for swearing, so they fought every day and swore at each other.
Now they're fining people, they've become a little more civilized, but then it turns into physical violence.
Today, Lao Feng is laughing at Lao Zhang here; it's truly a case of the second brother laughing at the eldest.
Then Caibao exposed his deception with a single sentence...
It was awkward and funny; everyone was trying hard to hold back their laughter, which was tough.
Shen Xi glared at Cai Bao, raised her hand heavily, and lightly patted Cai Bao's fat bottom: "You child, why do you keep spouting such nonsense?"
Her words made Aunt Feng even angrier.
"What do you know? My daughter-in-law is unfilial!! She's rotten to the core. Our Ma family has been cursed for eight lifetimes to have married such a daughter-in-law..."
Whenever his daughter-in-law is mentioned, Old Feng has a bellyful of complaints and starts rambling on and on.
You see, that's how people are. Years later, they become the very kind of person they used to hate.
What she's doing now is exactly the same thing her mother-in-law did back then.
I just wonder if her daughter-in-law will curse her in her heart like she did, telling her to wait and see, and that she'll get what's coming to her when she gets old!
I wonder if she will be as unlucky as her mother-in-law back then, not living to old age, or if this is not due to a lack of contact, but rather good fortune?
Who knows.
Anyway, the moment Caibao asked that question, the gossipy atmosphere was ruined, and everyone's banter intensified.
Chen Chuan and his wife felt there was nothing new to hear if they stayed, so they picked up their child and went home.
As soon as they walked away, Shen Xi gave Caibao another nudge: "You kid, you always ruin the mood."
She doesn't seem like someone who lacks tact; Caibao has a nickname: the Queen of Praise.
Why are you only showing support and not causing trouble today?
Caibao pouted: "Yingying said her grandma secretly pinched her, and pinched her legs until they turned purple."
what?
Shen Xi's expression turned serious: "Did you see that?"
"Hmm." Caibao gestured to his inner thigh: "It's dark."
Aunt Feng has gone too far.
"Why? They say a daughter-in-law is an outsider, but a granddaughter is always family. Why would you secretly pinch her?"
This treasure is known.
"Grandma Feng wanted Yingying's mother to have a younger brother, but Auntie disagreed, so she pinched Yingying."
Did Yingying tell her mother?
“No.” Caibao shook her head: “Grandma Feng said that if she dares to complain, her parents will fight, get divorced, and then she will be an unwanted child.”
Yingying was so scared that she cried every day, but she didn't dare to cry at home for fear that her mother would find out. She only dared to cry in the kindergarten toilet...
She heard it.
Then Yingying only told her, and Caibao was very angry when she heard it.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi clenched her fists in anger.
"Alright, honey, calm down." Chen Chuan pressed the elevator button: "It's not worth getting yourself upset over other people's business."
Besides, Aunt Feng is known throughout the neighborhood for favoring sons over daughters. I heard that when she wanted to name Yingying Zhaodi, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a huge fight and she didn't succeed.
Before she could even choose a formal name, she wanted to give her granddaughter a nickname like Zhaodi Laidi, which infuriated Yingying's mother.
Originally, she was undecided about whether to have a second child, but after her mother-in-law's actions, she declared that she would not have a second child.
She's in charge of her own pregnancy; if she's so capable, she should get a divorce.
Unfortunately, Yingying's mother is a strong woman who earns more than her husband, so Aunt Feng can't control her at all. Therefore, she slanders her daughter-in-law and talks badly about her every day in the neighborhood.
Shen Xi had heard it more than once or twice.
Yingying's mother also argued with her about this matter, and both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had their wins and losses, while the husband only tried to smooth things over.
It's likely that Aunt Feng didn't get any good out of her daughter-in-law, so she took it out on her granddaughter. But she didn't dare to do it openly, so she only pinched parts of her granddaughter that were hidden from view and threatened the child not to tell her mother.
Shen Xi really didn't understand. She could earn money herself, and she heard that Zi Gui's house was bought with her own money. Why didn't she get a divorce?
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Not all women have the courage to decisively end a marriage."
Even if she's a successful career woman, she might not be so in love. Although she said she'd rather get a divorce, the fact that she's still enduring it shows that there's something she can't let go of in this marriage.
As for what it is, it's hard to say.
Shen Xi asked him, "Do you think I should remind her?"
Given her personality, she usually wouldn't meddle in such matters, but after becoming a mother, she really couldn't bear to see her child suffer. What Aunt Feng did was simply too much!
Yingying is only three years old. She is a very well-behaved and introverted baby, and Shen Xi likes her very much.
"Say what you want to say."
Although Chen Chuan has always set aside his desire to help others and respects their fate, Shen Xi is different. She is a chivalrous person who can't bear to see the vulnerable get hurt.
This is her nature, and also her principle in life. Chen Chuan likes it very much and doesn't need her to be cold-blooded for his sake.
Shen Xi was mentally planning how to remind Yingying's mother.
The elevator doors opened; I'm home.
Treasure immediately twisted and turned to get down: "I'll open the door! I'll open it!"
Okay, let her drive.
The little guy stood on tiptoe, raised his chin, and with a "beep," the door opened.
Oh ho, we're home. Time for Treasure's lesson.
