Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 458 - 453 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 08

—————

"Ah, ah, ah~~" The little girl’s practice of vocal scales with high and low pitches made one’s hair stand on end.

Listening to it made Li Xiaochun even more irritable. Seeing her daughter-in-law completely ignoring her, her face darkened even more as she paced loudly around the room, but dared not to reprimand her eldest granddaughter.

If she dared to scold her eldest granddaughter, this young daughter-in-law would dare to scratch her!

Speaking of this, Li Xiaochun felt helpless.

Despite sharing the same surname, there was absolutely no familial relationship between the young daughter-in-law and her.

Speaking of Fan Fengshou’s wife, Li Xiaoxia, Mrs. Li had a stomach full of grievances to complain about.

Her daughter-in-law’s family was originally from the town, and from the most prominent wealthy family in Baiyun Town, the Li Family. She was the pampered youngest daughter with a very sharp and fierce personality.

Back then, nobody knows what good deed Fan Fengshou had done to make the spoiled and precious Li Xiaoxia, stubbornly set her heart on marrying him.

The two even got involved before marriage, forcing the old father of the Li Family to reluctantly agree. It wasn’t until four or five years after Li Xiaoxia married in and had only one daughter that the old father of the Li Family started to show some favor to her husband.

There was no choice, having only a daughter in her husband’s family meant she couldn’t establish a firm standing. Although the Li Family was well-off, they also had old conservative thoughts. Gradually, they lowered their status and even helped Fan Fengshou secure a good job.

Subsequently, Xie Jinghong married into the family, had three sons in five years, which made the Li Family view him differently, and Landlord Li, who truly loved his only daughter, softened his attitude towards his son-in-law.

With her own family no longer taking her side, Li Xiaoxia, knowing her position was weak, started to behave more submissively towards her mother-in-law, and Li Xiaochun felt she could finally have a proper conversation with her daughter-in-law.

Previously, the daughter-in-law had always treated them with disdain.

Who let her family be rich? At that time, they had only their eldest son serving in the military, truly without money or talent, indeed inferior by comparison.

Li Xiaochun, having managed to hold her head high for three or four years, now found herself shamed by her younger son’s deeds and utterly faceless in front of Li Xiaoxia.

It seemed that the eldest granddaughter also sensed something amiss at home these days and had completely changed her attitude towards her, her real grandmother.

Now, seeing her grandmother coming back, she just pouted her lips and blinked, completely ignoring the old lady without even a thought to call out to her elder!

So rude!

Li Xiaochun inwardly exclaimed.

But outwardly, she didn’t dare utter a sound! She even had to force a wry smile towards her daughter-in-law, who was looking her way.

Li Xiaoxia snorted lightly, just lightly twitching an eyelid, showing utter disdain for her mother-in-law’s behavior.

As for the old lady making a fuss at home about adopting the third son from her eldest brother’s family, huh!

Li Xiaoxia sneered scornfully, regretting her shallow judgment in the past by only admiring Fan Fengshou’s looks, completely ignoring the advice of her family.

Back then, blindly insisting on marrying, she was degrading herself. Crying, making fusses, using every trick to marry Fan Fengshou, now she’s reaping the consequences, being despised by others!

According to her father’s words, even if it meant kneeling and crying, she had to grit her teeth and walk this path! In the Landlord Li’s family, there were no daughters who got divorced!

Right now, if it weren’t for her daughter needing a stable family, would Li Xiaoxia put up with this?

Together with her husband, looking like that deadbeat, a surge of anger shoots through Li Xiaoxia’s heart.

Seeing that pretentious act of Mrs. Li, Li Xiaoxia, mimicking her daughter’s actions, simply turned her trendy curly head away, refusing to look, as if it would cleanse her sight!

Seeing Zhang’s daughter-in-law and granddaughter acting this way, Li Xiaochun felt a sharp pain in his chest!

At this moment, the front door was unlocked and pushed open again—

Fan Fengshou, exhausted, pushed open his front door only to see his mother and wife sitting distantly, their dislike for each other evident. His eyebrows, already furrowed, now twisted even deeper.

Holding a briefcase in his hand, he silently sighed, wordlessly placed the briefcase on the tea table, and habitually picked up the water cup on the table—

The large porcelain cup in his hand was completely empty, devoid of the chrysanthemum tea he used every time when he came home to clear the heat!

Fan Fengshou glanced at his wife, who completely ignored him, then at his mother who also ignored him, sitting with her head turned away on a single-seater sofa. Only the sound of his daughter practicing singing gradually stopped, reluctantly calling out "Dad," and without waiting for Fan Fengshou’s response, she directly went back to her room.

This elicited a cold scold from Li Xiaoxia, a "Hmph" that made the atmosphere even more oppressive.

"the youngest, sit for a moment, mom will make tea for you." Seeing her daughter-in-law’s attitude, Li Xiaochun, no matter how angry, did not dare to scold anyone. Her son too was at fault and couldn’t justify himself, leaving both mother and son to only submit.

The old lady stood up and directly snatched the porcelain cup from her youngest son’s hand, going into the kitchen to make tea for him.

If she stayed any longer, she would faint from aggravation.

Only upon entering the kitchen, did Li Xiaochun furiously pound on her chest, a string of curses stuck deep in her throat, none daring to escape.

Finally, with great resignation, she sighed deeply. The situation had become such a mess, alas!

In the past, Li Xiaoxia would make this tea herself. Mrs. Li never liked drinking these kinds of floral teas and wouldn’t know how to brew them, let alone enjoy them.

Another thing was, having seen the high price of this flower tea in a co-op store once, she felt even less inclined to drink more of it.

She took out a bamboo canister, scooped out a small handful of tea leaves, poured them directly into the porcelain cup, saw there was still hot water in the kettle, poured it full, covered it with a porcelain lid and brought it out.

But once she was back in the living room, her son and daughter-in-law were nowhere to be seen!

"Goodness, this is driving me nuts!" Li Xiaochun heavily put the porcelain cup on the tea table.

These past two months, filled with grievances, she angrily hit her chest again. Looking up and seeing her son’s room door tightly closed, faintly hearing her son’s pleading voice from inside, infuriated her to the point of chest pain.

But now, it was almost six o’clock, everyone in the family was home, and not a single dish was prepared. No matter how angry Li Xiaochun was, she really didn’t dare to leave the food uncooked in such a tense atmosphere!

"Really, it’s such a sin!" Thinking back, Li Xiaochun remembered how previously all the household chores were managed by her eldest daughter-in-law, and all she had to do was come out to eat!

But since her eldest son was promoted and moved to the county town with his family half a year ago, all the household chores had fallen onto her!

The comparison only made her feel more frustrated.

You think that lazy daughter-in-law, who usually sleeps until eleven or twelve noon on her days off, would get up early to wash clothes, cook, and do household chores?

You are totally overthinking it!
