CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 140: MRS. LI’S OUTBURST

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you talking about?"

Upon hearing the eldest daughter-in-law’s words, Mrs. Zeng’s face immediately darkened.

All these years, regardless of which daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zeng, as a mother-in-law, never set strict rules for them, nor did she torment them like other families.

She treated her four daughters-in-law as if they were her own daughters, and even at times, if there was a conflict between daughter-in-law and son, she sided with the daughter-in-law.

Since Mrs. Li married into the Yuan Family, Mrs. Zeng never once showed her a bad face.

But today, hearing Mrs. Li’s words, Mrs. Zeng felt that she had been too lenient with this daughter-in-law, to the point where she lacked respect.

"Mother, I’m just telling the truth!"

Mrs. Li didn’t feel she was wrong and looked at Mrs. Zeng before continuing, "Back in Shiqu Village, even if the family didn’t approve of Shougui’s engagement to Miss Sheng, there was no need to say that if Shougui got close to Miss Sheng, it would bring disaster to the family!"

"It’s clear you favor that girl Yuan Bao!"

"Dad, Mom, you always say that now that the Yuan Family has a daughter, it will bring good fortune and better days."

"But with this girl, when did we ever have better days?"

"When we were in Linhe Village, the fourth brother worked as a dock manager and nearly lost his life to Water Thieves!"

"After that, we had to leave our homeland..."

Mrs. Li had kept a lot of words in her heart and seized this opportunity to let them all out.

"In other families, male children, who continue the family line, are the precious ones. But in our family, treating a girl, who will eventually marry out, as precious, don’t you find it ridiculous?"

"And..."

"Enough!"

Seeing Mrs. Li go on endlessly, Yuan Pandi slammed the table, "Do you not want to live anymore? If you don’t, we can each go our separate ways, and I’ll write you a divorce letter!"

At this moment, Yuan Pandi was genuinely furious.

"Why are you yelling at me?"

"As a man, you can’t even protect your own son, what kind of father are you?"

"And, since we’ve already divided the family, we’re each our own household, why can’t we make our own decisions?"

Mrs. Li wasn’t intimidated by Yuan Pandi’s outburst and shouted back, "If you have the ability, then establish your own household!"

"I don’t respect you if all you do is shout at your own wife!"

"Even if you divorce me, I won’t respect you!"

Mrs. Li had made up her mind and was determined to demand justice.

"Second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, now that second and third brothers aren’t here, you two should be the decision-makers for your own affairs!"

"Why should our sons eat the unappetizing millet, while a little girl, who brings no profit, can eat whatever she likes—rice or noodles?"

"Are you two really willing?"

"And fourth sister-in-law, don’t you want your son to eat better too?"

At this moment, Mrs. Li was like a fierce warrior.

Due to her outburst, the atmosphere in the Yuan Family became extremely tense in an instant.

Although Song Family and Mrs. Peng did not respond directly, their expressions were very complex, clearly showing that they agreed with Mrs. Li’s point of view.
