Chapter 293 - 293 Mother-in-law’s Double Standards!

293 Mother-in-law’s Double Standards!

Lin Qiulan brought her husband, Shi Yaoqing, and son, Shi Junxuan, back to her parents’ house.

They had been married for more than three years, but the child was four years old. That was because they had a child out of wedlock.

Back then, they were free to date. Lin Qiulan did not even know that she was pregnant. When her belly grew bigger, she only thought that she had gained weight.

Four or five months later, the fetal movement was small. She did not notice it herself and only thought that it was because her stomach was digesting poorly.

!!

Six months later, when her stomach was moving too much, Shi Yaoqing pulled her over for a checkup.

This examination was incredible.

She was actually pregnant.

Then, the two families hurriedly held the wedding.

As soon as she arrived at her mother’s house, her sister-in-law realized that she had become different.

Her sister-in-law tugged at her husband’s sleeve and asked softly, “Hubby, do you think your sister has become prettier?”

Lin Qiu nodded and said, “Yes, she has indeed become beautiful!”

Her ister-in-law continued, “Her skin is getting fairer and fairer, and it’s even becoming tender.”

As she said this, envy flashed in her eyes.

After a girl got married, it was rare for her to be so glamorous and beautiful, especially for a woman who had given birth. She should have aged even faster.

The more beautiful a married woman became, the more it meant that she was living well in her in-laws’ house.

She looked at Lin Qiulan’s clothes and light makeup. She was really fashionable and beautiful, even more beautiful than when she was a girl.

It seemed that this sister-in-law was really doing well in her in-laws’ house.

When Lin Qiulan returned to her parents’ home, her parents were so happy that they could not close their mouths.

When Mrs. Lin saw the cute and loving little Junxuan, she really liked him.

She hugged Shi Junxuan and said happily, “My good grandson, Grandma misses you so much!”

Her grandson returned the sentiment.

Shi Junxuan said crisply, “Grandma, I miss you too!”

After Mrs. Lin hugged her grandson for a while, Mr. Lin wanted to take the child from her and said, “Let me hold the child for a while!”

Mrs. Lin refused. She said, “Help your son-in-law with some of the stuff!”

Mr. Lin could only take the things from his son-in-law and said with a smile, “Yaoqing, why did you buy so many things? Every time you come back, you buy so many things. We can’t even finish them!”

Every time Shi Yaoqing came back, he would buy cigarettes, wine, and milk.

Mrs. Lin carried the child into the house. When she saw her daughter-in-law still standing at the door, her face darkened and she said unhappily, “Yuan Chunmei, why are you still standing there? Can’t you see that your sister and the rest are here? Hurry up and go back to the kitchen to cook!”

Lin Qiulan and Shi Yaoqing looked at Mrs. Lin’s attitude and frowned slightly.

Lin Qiulan asked in confusion, “Mom, didn’t Sister-in-law go back to her parents’ house today?”

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, many daughters returned to their parents’ house.

In her impression, her sister-in-law would return occasionally.

However, Mrs. Lin said, “Since you’re coming over today, she definitely has to stay and entertain you well. It won’t be too late for her to go back tomorrow!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiulan could not help but feel a little angry.

If the other party was not her biological mother, she would probably have gone up and slapped her twice.

Hearing this, she knew how her mother-in-law usually acted.

How was she a good mother-in-law? She was clearly an evil mother-in-law who had tortured her daughter-in-law.

Her sister-in-law was an honest person, and so was her family. They only hoped that their daughter would live well in her in-laws’ house.

Even if she couldn’t go back to their parents’ house on the second day of the Lunar New Year, they didn’t want to cause trouble and make things difficult for their daughter.

Lin Qiulan’s voice was a little loud when she spoke to Mrs. Lin.

“Mom, how can you do this?” Lin Qiulan said angrily. “Today is the day when a married daughter returns to her family. How can you not let Sister-in-law go back?”

Mrs. Lin said with an embarrassed expression, “Well… didn’t you guys come? I need to entertain you well!”

Lin Qiulan said, “Could it be that your daughter is really a guest after getting married? Do you still need to treat her well? Shouldn’t I come back to my maiden home? Who needs to entertain me when I come back to my own home?”

Lin Qiulan had been living in her in-laws’ house all these years. Getting along with her mother-in-law was comparable to getting along with her biological mother.

Her mother-in-law had always thought for her daughter-in-law and had never let her suffer any grievances.

Naturally, she felt the same way. She did not want her biological mother to make things difficult for her sister-in-law and make her feel wronged.

Lin Qiulan continued, “Mom, Sister-in-law is an honest person, but you can’t stop her from going back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, right? Then how worried would her maternal family be? They’re worried that their daughter will suffer in her in-laws’ house. Mom, looking at it from another perspective, if my mother-in-law won’t let me come back to my maternal family, what would you think?”

“If they dare to not let you return to your parents’ house, I will definitely make a fuss!” Mrs. Lin said aggressively.

Shi Yaoqing was speechless. What double standards his mother-in-law had.

“Isn’t that so!” Lin Qiulan nodded. “We’re both daughters. If I don’t come back to my parents’ house, you’ll worry and even cause trouble for my in-laws. Then won’t my sister-in-law’s family be worried?”

Mrs. Lin said nonchalantly, “She’s already married into the Lin family. She’s a member of the Lin family now. I’m her mother-in-law, so she has to listen to me.”

Lin Qiulan was speechless,

She looked at her sister-in-law, who had an aggrieved expression and an ugly expression on her face. She suddenly felt powerless towards her biological mother.

She looked at her brother and asked, “Brother, are you going to go along with Mom just like that?”

Before Lin Qiutian could say anything, her sister-in-law said, “Sister, it’s fine. I was willing to stay.”

...

One look at her expression and Lin Qiulan knew that she did not do it willingly. However, for her brother and this family, she was willing to suffer such grievances.

Although she was an honest person, they could not bully her like this.

Lin Qiulan’s face darkened as she said, “Mom, if you guys continue like this, I won’t come back to my mother’s house in the future. This will save the trouble of causing my sister-in-law to not be able to return to her mother’s house every time I come back to my mother’s house! I feel bad. Those who don’t know might think that it’s because I, a married daughter, returned to my mother’s house to show off my might as a sister-in-law and prevented my sister-in-law from returning to her mother’s house.”

When Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin heard this, their expressions changed.

Mr. Lin immediately reprimanded Mrs. Lin, “I told Xiao Ying to go back to her parents’ house, but you insisted that our daughter was coming back. Great, you made our daughter unhappy. Daughter, don’t be angry. In the future, we’ll let Xiao Ying go back to her parents’ house.”

Lin Qiulan shook her head and said, “Dad, don’t do it in the future. Let Sister-in-law bring Older Brother and the children back now.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Xiao Ying, take Qiutian and the child back to your parents’ house. It’s still early, so you should be able to make it in time for lunch!” Mr. Lin said. “Qiutian, hurry up and accompany Xiao Ying back!”

Lin Qiutian nodded and said, “Okay.”

Sister-in-law Xiao Ying asked hesitantly, “But, what about this meal?”

Lin Qiulan said, “Sister-in-law, I’m not a guest when I come back to my parents’ house. I know how to cook!”

Mrs. Lin immediately said, “There’s no need for you to cook. I’ll do it.” She couldn’t bear to let her precious daughter cook.

...

Shi Yaoqing was speechless.

What double standards!

However, this was his wife’s family’s matter. His wife would deal with it herself.

As a son-in-law, he really couldn’t say anything.

When her sister-in-law went to her parents’ house, Lin Qiulan gave her a gift and a pair of gold earrings. She said apologetically, “Sister-in-law, you’ve suffered. Mom has such a tough personality. I’ll talk to her about it. Please forgive Dad and Mom!”

Xiao Ying nodded and said, “Yes, don’t worry, little sister. I won’t remember it.”

…

After Sister-in-law and Brother left, Lin Qiulan said earnestly, “Dad, Mom, my mother-in-law and Grandma often say that people change their minds. Ten years to look at their mother-in-law, ten years to look at their daughter-in-law! If you treat Sister-in-law sincerely, she will definitely be filial to you in the future.”
