CHAPTER 457: CHAPTER 459: SON-IN-LAW, WHY ARE YOU TURNING YOUR ELBOW OUTWARDS

Wang Xueyong was also fully confident about the university entrance exams, and thus let his son take him to the Liu family.

Upon hearing there would be sweets and meat to eat, Wang Zhengping’s eyes lit up. However, thinking of Liu Haihua, he said, "I want to take Auntie with me."

"Auntie can only stay here," Wang Xueyong said.

Wang Zhengping was immediately torn between the sweets and meat and his aunt. In the end, he chose his aunt, "I want Auntie; Auntie will give me sweets and meat to eat."

Wang Xueyong felt helpless, thinking this must be the natural closeness between mother and child. And because of this, Wang Xueyong became more and more tolerant toward Liu Haihua.

Upon seeing Wang Xueyong arrive, Liu Haiguo greeted him with a smile, but his face clearly showed his troubles.

"What’s worrying you?" Wang Xueyong asked.

"It’s that woman, now that her wings are hard, she’s thinking of flying away," Liu Haiguo said through gritted teeth. The thought of Feng Ying reviewing for the college entrance exams displeased him greatly.

Wang Xueyong laughed, "You should let her try. It’s not like she’s guaranteed to get in."

"What if she does?" This was what Liu Haiguo was worried about. If she got in and ran away, then he, Liu Haiguo, would be the laughingstock for being dumped by his wife.

"We’ll talk about it if she gets in," Wang Xueyong said.

As soon as those words fell, Liu Haiguo’s eyes brightened. Yes, they would talk about it if she got in. There would be ways to handle it by then.

At this moment, Liu Haihua came out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. She had changed a lot over the years. She used to be able to burn down the kitchen, but now for the sake of Wang Xueyong, she was very virtuous.

That was also the point Wang Xueyong felt Liu Haihua was better than Gao Guihua. Gao Guihua was only good for keeping indoors, and her cooking skills were not up to scratch. Occasionally, she would embroider, but beyond that, she didn’t have many skills.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuebi hurried to her daughter’s house, only to see her teaching her granddaughter to embroider. Lin Xuebi slapped the needle and thread from Gao Guihua’s hand and said, "What are you doing at a time like this? Wang Xueyong often visits the Lius to see his son. Why don’t you go with him? How did I raise such a foolish daughter? No wonder you say your son isn’t close to you; with a mother like you, it’s no surprise he doesn’t want to be close."

"Mom, what’s going on?" Gao Guihua asked.

"What’s going on? Zhengping is halfway to the Liu’s with your son-in-law. Aren’t you going to take a look?"

As soon as Lin Xuebi’s words landed, Gao Guihua said, "What’s there to see? The two men are drinking. Why should I go there?"

"It seems reasonable, but your son is there, you fool," Lin Xuebi said as she pulled Gao Guihua to her feet, pushing her, "Go and take a look."

"I know, Mom. Do you want to come with me?" asked Gao Guihua."

"No need, you go. I’ll watch my granddaughter here," Lin Xuebi waved her off, feeling that her son-in-law was problematic, but not wanting him to notice her.

But thinking that her daughter might be at a disadvantage going alone, Lin Xuebi hesitated for a moment before following behind Gao Guihua.

Inside the house, Liu Haiguo was startled and announced, "Gao Guihua has arrived."

"Zhengping, I’m your mother." Gao Guihua looked at Wang Zhengping with a pained heart. Was this the son she had given birth to? Why was he so rejecting of her, so disliking her?

Thinking of this made Gao Guihua extremely angry with the Liu family, especially Liu Haihua. If it weren’t for them teaching her son this way, why wouldn’t her son be willing to be close to her, his mother?

"Zhengping, Mom has some tasty food. Come home with Mom, and I’ll give it to you," she said.

Upon Gao Guihua’s words, Wang Zhengping spat out a sound, "If I stay at that house, I’ll get sick, I’ll die. Don’t think you can trick me into going back."

"Who told you that? There’s no such thing," Gao Guihua said.

"Anyway, I’m not going to your house. This is my home," Wang Zhengping said.

Gao Guihua’s eyes reddened, "This is not your home, it’s just a temporary stay. Our real home is in the city."

Gao Guihua pointed to her house, "That is our home. There’s Dad, Mom, and your sister. We are the real family."

"Not at all. I don’t belong with you people. My dad is here. I have my dad, my aunt, my godfather, my godmother and my brothers," Wang Zhengping replied. He had been brainwashed by Liu Haihua since he was young; how could he easily trust Gao Guihua? Plus, he’d always known that going back to that house meant death. There was no way he would consent.

Seeing Lin Xuebi appear, Wang Xueyong’s mind became clearer. "The child is still young; he can be taught. There’s no need to blame the Lius," he said.

Lin Xuebi said, "Yes, Guihua’s son is being raised in the Liu family, and he’s not close to Guihua. How can a mother accept that? I think Zhengping should come stay with me. There’s no need to have him raised in the Liu family anymore."

Upon hearing Lin Xuebi suggesting her son should be raised at her family’s house, Liu Haihua wanted to rush out but was stopped by Mrs. Liu, "What are you doing? Don’t be rash."

"Mom, didn’t you hear? Gao Guihua wants to take Zhengping to her maternal home," Liu Haihua said urgently, fearing that Wang Xueyong would agree.

"If you go out now, that will really create chaos," Feng Ying said. With that, she walked out without giving Liu Haihua another glance.

At this moment, in the courtyard of the Liu family, Liu Haiguo and Wang Xueyong were together, with Wang Zhengping clinging to Wang Xueyong, glaring at Lin Xuebi with hostility.

Upon seeing Wang Zhengping’s look, both Lin Xuebi and Gao Guihua felt a chill in their hearts. This did not look like their grandson or son, but someone full of animosity toward them.

"Zhengping is fine, and moreover, he’s been raised in the Liu family for a few years now. He’s used to it..."

Wang Xueyong spoke, and as his words fell, Lin Xuebi frowned at him, "Son-in-law, why are you always bending your arm outwards, always siding with the Lius? Where else is there a son born by themselves but raised by others not close to his mom? I’m going to ask everyone to judge this."

Lin Xuebi was angered by Wang Xueyong’s attitude and began to clamor about getting everyone to help decide the matter. At this point, Gao Guihua also turned against Wang Xueyong, feeling that he had gone too far in favoring the Liu family.
