When I opened my eyes, I went back to the night when I forced my husband to give birth to a son.

Su Xiaowan was very angry. She knew in her previous life that Liu Xianglian was very difficult to deal with, but she never thought that she would use this trick.

She immediately said, "Mom, you don't have to pretend. I'm your daughter-in-law, and I should respect you and your parents. I have done so every year. But you are wrong to snatch them openly!"

"Oh, fellow villagers, did you see that? This is my evil daughter-in-law. She asked for some food and then accused me of snatching it away. What sin have I committed?"

Su Xiaowan had a bad reputation in the village, especially because she often beat Xixi, and everyone in the village knew it.

Seeing this scene, someone stepped forward to accuse, "Beiguo daughter-in-law, your mother-in-law is old, she just asked you for some vegetables, which are not valuable, just give it to her, we are all family, why make such a fuss."

"That's right. After all, your mother-in-law raised Beiguo. As a daughter-in-law, you should respect her."

Su Xiaowan listened to the various accusations from the people around her and sneered in her heart.

It’s really easy to talk without any pain in the waist!

She looked at the woman standing in the front, who was Liu Xianglian's aunt next door, Liu Guifang.

"Aunt Guifang, I remember two days ago, your daughter-in-law and your granddaughter ran into you coming back from the market. The little girl saw you gave your grandson a candy and clamored for it."

"Why didn't you give it to me? They are both your children. It doesn't make sense that your grandson can eat it but your granddaughter can't."

Liu Guifang's expression suddenly changed, and she stretched her neck and said, "Beiguo's wife, you are the same, you only want a son, and you are not good to your daughter. How dare you blame me!"

"I was indeed not nice to my daughter in the past. My husband Beiguo told me last night that he doesn't care whether I give birth to a son or not, so I've come to terms with it. My daughter and son are both my own children, and I should treat them equally."

"But my mother-in-law was not like that just now. She said that my Xixi is just a little girl and is not worthy of eating cucumbers!"

"My own daughter can't eat the vegetables I grow, so why should I give them to other people?"

Su Xiaowan's few words were irrefutable. She admitted her mistake and pointed out why she and Liu Xianglian had such a quarrel.

Behind the crowd, Xiao Beiguo stood there. He was about 1.8 meters tall and could see the scene here at a glance.

He pursed his lips, and a hint of shock flashed across his dark pupils.

Su Xiaowan actually said such words, in front of so many villagers.

Could it be that she really figured it out?

Seeing that everyone else started to persuade her, Liu Xianglian became furious and pointed at Su Xiaowan.

"If you marry into the Xiao family and don't give birth to a son, get out of here. You'd be so shameless if you gave birth to a girl!"

Su Xiaowan ignored her accusations and just said, “Mom, I respect you as an elder, but having children is my and Beiguo’s business. Even if we can’t get along, it’s our business. You should stop worrying about it.”

Having said that, she turned around and left with the basket of vegetables, regardless of Liu Xianglian's ugly face.

Then she saw Xiao Beiguo standing behind the crowd, staring at her.

Su Xiaowan paused slightly. She didn't know how long Xiao Beiguo had been standing there, but he didn't come forward to help her.

Is he blaming her for treating his mother like this?

"Oh, when did Beiguo come?" A sister-in-law was very surprised when she saw Xiao Beiguo.

Xiao Beiguo greeted Su Xiaowan and walked towards her.

"Beiguo, look at your wife. Not only did she refuse to give me some vegetables, but she also hit me. You can't keep such a wicked woman. Divorce her immediately!"

Liu Xianglian wished that Xiao Beiguo would divorce Su Xiaowan immediately!

She doesn't want a disobedient daughter-in-law!

Xiao Beiguo glanced at Su Xiaowan's face with a serious look, and his left cheek was swollen.

He glanced at Liu Xianglian and spoke without emotion, "Mother, Xiaowan is my wife. I have the final say on whether she is good or not. Tell me what you want and I will give it to you if I can. Next time I see you hitting her, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between mother and son!"

Liu Xianglian was filled with rage. After hearing this, she jumped up and shouted, "You beast, I gave birth to you, and you dare to threaten me!"

"I should have thrown you into a bucket of urine and drowned you!"

Xiao Beiguo didn't care about her shrewish behavior and just said, "Whether Xiaowan and I have a son or not is our business. Don't use this to criticize her!"

After saying this, he took the basket from Su Xiaowan's hand and the hoe thrown aside and walked home.

Su Xiaowan was stunned in the spot until Xiao Beiguo's voice came, "Why don't you go back?"

"Oh, here I come." She limped after him.

The villagers were talking about it, with shock in their eyes.

"No wonder Su Xiaowan changed her personality. It turned out that it was Beiguo who spoke. Beiguo is really a man."

"That's right. Ever since Xixi was born, this northern daughter-in-law has been taking all kinds of folk remedies to have a son."

"Fortunately, her husband is a good man. He doesn't force us to have a son. We don't have that luck."

Su Xiaowan listened to what those people said, but she felt as if her feet weighed a thousand pounds.

In her previous life, she had heard these things before, but she thought that those people said them on purpose. She thought that Xiao Beiguo must have said these things in front of others in his previous life.

When I thought about how I was possessed by a demon in my previous life, my heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles and it hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.

The two returned home one after another. Xiao Beiguo put down the basket and Su Xiaowan went into the kitchen to busy herself.

When she was pouring water, she saw Xiao Beiguo hurried out.

I didn't think much about it. After such a long time of commotion, it was almost twelve o'clock and Xixi must be hungry soon.

By the time the meal was ready, it was already an hour.

She fed Xixi and Xiao Beiguo came back with a bucket, but she didn't know what was in it.

She shouted, "Wash your hands and eat."

Xiao Beiguo hummed, looked at the bowl with half a bowl of rice left, and said to Xixi, "Xixi, scoop it out and eat it yourself."

Although the little girl didn't know why her father didn't let her mother feed her, she still obediently took the spoon and ate by herself.

Xiao Beiguo glanced at Su Xiaowan who had stood up and said, "Come to the room."

"Xixi, eat your meal obediently. Mom and Dad will come over soon if they talk about something."

Su Xiaowan thought Xiao Beiguo wanted to ask her about the quarrel between her and Liu Xianglian, so she stood up helplessly.

When she entered the room, she saw Xiao Beiguo squatting on the ground with his back to her, not knowing what he was doing.

She limped to the bed and sat down. Only when she stopped did she realize that her ankle was hurting.

"I had a quarrel with my mother because she said Xixi was a little girl and was not worthy of eating the cucumbers I planted. I was so angry that I quarreled with her."

Xiao Beiguo nodded, stood up and walked towards her, holding a plastic bag filled with a lot of ice cubes.

He handed it to her and said, "Apply this on your face to reduce swelling."

Su Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, looking at him, and spoke after a while, "You were out for so long, did you go to find ice cubes?"

"Yeah." Xiao Beiguo nodded, sat on the bed, grabbed her feet and put them on his legs.

When I rolled up my trouser legs, I saw that my ankles were swollen.

Su Xiaowan instinctively wanted to pull back her legs, but Xiao Beiguo grabbed them and said in a deep voice, "Don't move."

He wrapped his palm around his swollen ankle, but before he moved, Su Xiaowan gasped in pain.

"Don't touch it, it hurts."
