Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 2035 - 2053: Little Rascal

Should she drink the water or not?

She decisively handed the water Shen Zihang was holding to Li Erhua and went to pour herself a glass.

Shen Zihang blinked his bright black eyes and said animatedly, "Strange, did the sun rise from the west today? Cousin, you’re pouring water yourself? At home, you wouldn’t even pick up a fallen oil bottle."

During the New Year when visiting the hometown, grandparents always scold cousin this way. In Shen Zihang’s mind, cousin is the laziest person in the world. Usually, when mom asks him to do housework, she uses cousin as a negative example.

Shen Zihang is a big mouth; thanks to his tireless spreading, Shen Zian’s reputation for being lazy, sharp-tongued, and stingy spread in the community even before he arrived.

Neither Zhao Honglian nor Shen Weixing knew about this. If they did, they’d probably beat this mischievous kid.

When Li Erhua heard someone say her daughter was lazy, she immediately disagreed and pointed at Shen Zihang’s nose, scolding, "Little beast, who are you talking about?"

Zhao Honglian heard her son being scolded so harshly from the kitchen and immediately became unhappy. She inherently disliked her relatives from the hometown, none of whom she liked. Now coming to freeload, she was extremely annoyed. And then Li Erhua acted as if it was her own home, scolding her son, how could she be happy?

Even the kind and honest Shen Weixing got angry.

"Sister-in-law, how can you scold the child like that?" Zhao Honglian, with an urban household registration, grew up in the city, and wasn’t as sharp with words as Li Erhua.

"Why shouldn’t I scold him?" Li Erhua had no awareness of being wrong, instead felt she was right to scold, "He deserves it; how do you educate such a child? Daring to talk back to cousin, I think he needs to be dealt with."

Shen Zian considered knocking out his own mom directly to avoid offending everyone.

"Mom, can you stop? Little cousin is fine, why are you scolding? Besides, I am lazy; little cousin wasn’t wrong." Shen Zian pulled Li Erhua forcefully, making her stagger and almost fall.

Shen Weixing was shocked to hear his niece talk so sensibly, staring wide-eyed.

Not only him, but even Zhao Honglian didn’t expect it. Just now, she was ready to face them two against one. Returning to the rural hometown for New Year, she had many experiences seeing Shen An and Li Erhua team up to fight and scold with the young women there, never losing an argument.

She’d seen firsthand how vicious and foolish this niece can be.

If it weren’t for her husband’s sake, she would have driven the mother and daughter out long ago.

"You crazy girl, why such strength?" Li Erhua shouted, "I’m standing up for you, yet you blame me? Wings grown hard, huh? You need dealing with too?"

"Stop it, I don’t need you to stand up for me." She initially planned to discuss things privately with her mom, not in front of everyone, but seeing her mom offending people too much, if she didn’t speak now, Third Aunt might be angry enough to kick them out before dinner.

"Mom, this is Third Uncle’s house; we’re guests. How can you act like this? As guests, we should be courteous, polite, and respectful to the hosts. And little cousin is so cute; you should be praising him."

As she spoke, she glanced at little cousin, looking at his dusty little round face, and flattered him despite herself.
