I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Now that she was in front of her in-laws, Aunt Zhang naturally couldn't voice her grievances. So she could only give a wink to the old man standing at the door, signaling him to quickly take his wife away.

Then he turned to Liu and said:

"Stop making a scene here. Your in-laws are here. Hurry up and go prepare some food for me. Let them have lunch here before they leave."

When Liu saw that her mother-in-law dared to speak to her like that, she became even more furious.

"So, they come to my door to yell at me, and I'm supposed to cook for them? Do you think I'm that kind of person? Let whoever wants to cook, cook for them! Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

As she spoke, Madam Liu plopped down on a stool and looked at Madam Qin and the others, saying:

"Now that you've come to my door, I'll make things clear so you won't think I'm bullying your daughter."

Zhang Guang brought in a cup of tea from outside. Just as he was about to hand it to Granny Liu, Liu stepped forward, snatched the cup from Zhang Guang's hand, and downed the entire cup of tea in one gulp.

“I’m not trying to cause trouble, but you all have to talk about your daughters. It’s one thing if she never leaves the house, but she’s only been married to us for a short time and isn’t familiar with the locals yet, I can understand that. But we work all day and when we get home we can’t even get a hot meal. What can I expect from her?”

Su Tao didn't mention any of this to Qin Shi. She only ran back and said that Liu Shi had hit her, and that she felt wronged and kept crying.

If Madam Qin knew that her daughter hadn't even been willing to cook, she naturally wouldn't have had the face to demand justice.

But now that they've come in such a big way, it wouldn't be good to just send the selenium drum back like this. Wouldn't that just embolden the Liu family even more?

So Qin glared at Liu.

"You still think you're something special? You didn't give us a kind look the moment we walked in. When my mother-in-law wanted water, you even tried to take it from her. According to seniority, you should call her 'Grandma.' Now you're just a disrespectful person. From the moment you entered the house until now, I don't think your mother-in-law has a word to say in front of you. Now that your mother-in-law is still alive, you really think you can be the head of this household and make all the decisions!"

Aunt Zhang's face fell upon hearing this, and she said unhappily:

“This Liu family member is indeed a bit disrespectful, but I don’t like hearing what you’re saying now, my dear in-law. What do you mean by ‘I’m dead or alive’? I haven’t lived enough yet! As long as I’m here, no one can run this household or make the decisions!”

Liu snorted coldly.

"What's the use of being in charge or not? Let whoever wants to be in charge of this household do it. They act like nobody cares. They're dirt poor, and all they know how to do is pretend to be important!"

As she spoke, Madam Liu threw her teacup onto the table and glared at Zhang Guang.

"What are you standing there for? Your in-laws are asking for tea, why don't you hurry up and refill their cups? Look how thirsty they are, and they're saying I'm disrespectful just because I took a sip first!"

At this point, Madam Liu seemed to be getting angrier and angrier, so she suddenly slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"I'm disrespectful? Even if I'm disrespectful, can I be more disrespectful than your daughter? Look at the good daughter you raised, she just lies at home all day doing nothing. I've seen lazy people, but I've never seen anyone as lazy as her!"

Liu glared at Su Tao, who was standing behind Qin.

"You still have the nerve to cry? I'm busy all day long, running around doing everything. If this family doesn't have me, it will fall apart. Who can I cry to? We both married into this family as wives. Why should I have to do so much more work than you, while you can just stay home all day walking the cat and playing with the dog and do nothing?"

Su Tao, feeling somewhat unsure of himself, called out to Liu Shi.

"Well, that's what you want to do. What does it have to do with me? Besides, you've been married into this family for so many years. If you don't do those chores, who will? You're already used to it. It wouldn't be right for me to take over!"

Upon hearing Su Tao's remarks, Lady Liu couldn't help but laugh in anger.

"You've truly taken shamelessness to the extreme. I think hitting you was too lenient. You deserve to be divorced by your brother and sent home to live as a pampered princess!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guang quickly stepped forward to offer words of comfort:

"Sister-in-law, please stop talking. Don't be angry. Su Tao was indeed wrong, but... but you can't hit her..."

Liu glared at Zhang Guang.

"They say an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. I married into your family when you were little, and I've taken care of everything in your household, including your wedding. Now that you're not home, shouldn't I teach this good-for-nothing daughter-in-law a lesson? And now that you're picking on me, I'm the one who's done something wrong!"

As she spoke, Liu untied her apron and slammed it onto the table.

"Fine, so your whole family ganged up on me, is that it? I've worked like a slave for so many years and haven't gotten a single good thing from you. You're willing to force me out of the house for Su Tao, is that it?"

With that, Liu turned and ran out. The eldest son, who had been leaning against the door with his head down and silent, saw his wife run away because of this group of people.

He couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb any longer, so he followed his wife out.

"Wife, wife, don't be angry, don't be angry. No matter what you do, you're still family. Just talk it out and it'll pass."

Upon hearing this, tears streamed down Liu's face, and she roared at her eldest son.

"If it weren't for you, why would I have to suffer like this in your family? I do so much work every day and still don't get any credit. Now this whole family is coming to my door, pointing their fingers at me and cursing me, and you don't say a word for me. I really regret marrying you. Thinking about it now, I should have married a fool instead!"

Upon hearing this, the eldest son quickly took Liu's hand and comforted her:

"Wife, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. If you're angry, take it out on me. You can hit me or scold me as you please. Just please don't leave. Our family can't do without you, and I can't do without you either!"

Liu turned her head away, ignoring her eldest son, and kept wiping away her tears.

Seeing this, the eldest son immediately stepped forward, grabbed Liu, and pulled her into the house.

“My dear wife, it’s all my fault. I haven’t taken good care of you. From now on, I’ll do any dirty or tiring work for you. I’ll take good care of you and raise you to be the young lady of our family. As long as you’re not angry, that’s fine. It hurts me to see you angry or crying.”
