CHAPTER 250: CHAPTER 249: BITTERSWEET (EXTRA UPDATE)

"The head of the household says, let’s hold off on this matter for now, and prioritize your sister-in-law’s side. That couple is not quarreling; your sister-in-law is probably speaking out of anger. Second brother, you should think about how to coax her back; that’s the main issue. It’s hot outside; let’s go in first, lest Mother gets upset and falls ill," Hu Lei’s wife, Liu Cui’er, said with a shrewd smile, her eyes gleaming.

Hu Bin looked at his elder brother and sister-in-law’s expressions and sneered inwardly, "No need, dividing the family is the most important thing. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the neighborhood committee and have them come over. Mom, all these years, I’ve complied in every way with you, so filial that I didn’t even care for my own wife and children. I’ve been manipulated by you all my life, and I’ve had enough. I’m not stupid; it’s not that you don’t want to split the family, it’s because you’re thinking about my money, thinking that Xiaoqing is soft-natured and easy to manipulate, so that she can be the maid for the whole family?" Last year, because of the wage card issue, he wanted to divide the family; now’s the perfect time.

"Heartless, oh eldest, look, look! My painstakingly raised son turns out to be a heartless creature. Useless in my old age, I’m despised, I don’t want to live anymore, son... I don’t want to live anymore," Old Fish Woman beat her chest and stomped her feet, crying out heartbreakingly without shedding a tear, just sitting there without much movement.

Afraid of softening his heart again, Hu Bin didn’t linger, got up and went to his room to pack a few clothes, saying he would stay at work for the time being before leaving.

Tomorrow, he’ll have the neighborhood committee come and explain.

...After Lin Wan and the group returned home, Grandma called the eldest uncle and mother-in-law into the room, spoke for a long time, and when they came out, both Grandma and the mother-in-law had been crying.

"Stay at home in peace, don’t return with Hu Bin just because he says a couple of sentences this time. Speak more firmly in the future; you can’t be so soft-natured anymore. If you can hold Hu Bin in your hands, wouldn’t he obediently listen to you? How could his mother bully you? As you get older, all the money you earn gets exploited by that old woman; what will you do in the future? Hu Bin will not divorce you, but this time no matter what, you have to divide the family," Shen Haitao lectured his younger sister with the authority of an elder brother, secretly despising Hu Bin, wondering what kind of man doesn’t prioritize his own nuclear family after marriage.

"Did you hear? Listen carefully to what your elder brother says, or worst-case, learn from your sister-in-law," Han Ying said, giving the eldest a meaningful look.

Shen Haitao felt guilty under Han Ying’s gaze, pulled a long face, and said, "Mom, what did I do now? Didn’t you teach us to treat our wives well since childhood?" What did he do wrong this time?

"You..." Han Ying was cut off by the eldest, well, who could be blamed for this matter?

The two sons listened to him, but his precious daughter didn’t inherit any of his true teachings.

The eldest son cherishes his wife, but the eldest daughter-in-law is a handful.

Ah, this life, the first half was smooth, but why is the latter half so vexing?

The eldest daughter-in-law likes to take advantage sometimes, but she knows to prioritize her own family and protect her children. She’s not muddle-headed in big matters.

The younger son’s family are capable of managing things well, and their child is easy to care for, so she doesn’t worry about them.

Now, her greatest concern is her daughter. It’s entirely her fault, spoiling her from a young age. Made one mistake and her personality changed back, but now she’s too weak, always feeling inferior, and doesn’t know how to resist when bullied.

After coming out, Lin Wan quickly helped her mother-in-law treat the wound; except for some nail scratches on the arm, the waist had been kicked once, which now shows nothing, but a bruise might appear by tomorrow, nothing serious. However, some hair had been pulled out.
