Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Can’t Handle Even Two Women

Xi Wanfen stormed out angrily.

Her home was in Yun City, was she supposed to starve?

She went to a nearby mall, enjoyed a nice meal of sushi, did some shopping, drank bubble tea, felt much better, and then returned to the hospital.

She was supposed to be on the night shift today.

Just as she arrived at the hospital, Liang Zhanbai called her with an accusatory tone, "Xiao Fen, did you go too far today?"

"Too far?" Xi Wanfen asked defiantly, "What did I do that was over the line? Where did I go wrong?"

"You could have told me you didn’t want to make dumplings. I also said that I would take a leave to help you make them, but you left without saying a word, slamming the door behind you. My parents must feel wronged. They are now insisting on going back, even to the point of disowning their own son."

Xi Wanfen felt a surge of anger.

She had thought that however difficult Liang Zhanbai’s parents were, Liang Zhanbai would still stand by her side. But now he was also blaming her.

No wonder people say that in your mother-in-law’s house, you will always be an outsider, you can never really become part of the family.

"Yes, I did slam the door and left, so what? I already said I don’t know how to make dumplings, and I’m not good at it. Your mom clearly knows how to do it and yet only came to help when I was clueless. Your dad just sat on the couch, not moving a muscle. Why doesn’t this happen in my family? In my family, making dumplings is a whole family affair, everyone contributes their effort. In your family, everything falls on the woman, burdening her with everything."

Liang Zhanbai said, "I know you feel wronged, but leaving in a huff wasn’t right either. Xiao Fen, if we keep going like this without anyone making concessions, we won’t last long."

"How should I compromise? Tell me how?" Xi Wanfen was so angry she did not even feel like changing into her nurse’s uniform.

After a while, Liang Zhanbai finally said, "It seems we need to cool off, I don’t want to argue with you."

"Then let’s not argue!" Xi Wanfen also hung up the phone.

...

Xi Wanfen went back to live at the Xi Family’s home.

Seeing her return, Li Shirui sighed.

So young, unaware of the complexities of marriage, she’s bound to stumble.

That night, Xi Huarong also came home. Initially, he said nothing, but seeing Xi Wanfen despondent, he finally asked, "Xiao Fen, did you have a conflict with your prospective in-laws?"

Xi Wanfen bit her lip and told him about the dumpling incident.

After hearing her side, Xi Huarong sighed.

"Dad, why are you sighing? Give me some advice, I’m about to go mad."

Xi Huarong said, "Marriage is complicated. In some areas, you need to keep compromising, while in others you absolutely must not. Those who manage marriage well are truly successful people, and such people never fail in any field. Moreover, a woman’s position in her in-law’s house depends on how her man treats her. If her man disregards her even just once, she will be marginalized at her in-law’s house.

We, your parents, can’t decide for you; it’s something you have to experience yourself. But one thing is very important, we don’t want you to feel aggrieved. If you keep feeling that way, both sides should take some time to cool down."

After listening, Xi Wanfen couldn’t help but reflect.

Liang Zhanbai was indeed good to her when they were alone, but in front of his parents, he still tended to have her compromise because he wanted to be a filial son.

...

Liang Zhanbai’s house.

Both Mr. Liang and Mrs. Liang have been angry with him these past few days.

To be precise, only Mr. Liang is angry, Mrs. Liang has been trying to smooth things over.

Mr. Liang is displeased whenever he sees him, constantly muttering: "Can’t even handle a woman, what will happen after getting married? Probably going to sever ties with us directly."

Mrs. Liang then advises, "How could that be? Our son has been outstanding since he was young, it’s impossible for him not to handle a wife. Xiao Fen’s father is an official, she has been spoiled since childhood."

Mr. Liang slaps the table: "Then break up! She thinks just because she’s an official’s daughter, she can bully us regular folks’ parents? Where’s the justice in that? In ancient times, even princesses had to pay respects to their in-laws when they got married!"

Mrs. Liang responded, "Which young lady nowadays still pays respects to her in-laws? Look at the family next door, the daughter-in-law has the in-laws practically serving her."

"That’s getting it all backward! It can’t be like that in my house!"

Liang Zhanbai, listening to his parents going back and forth, was utterly annoyed, so he decided to go out and play games with a few friends.

Noticing his mood, his friend couldn’t help but ask, "Zhan Bai, did you have an argument with your girlfriend?"

Liang Zhanbai sighed, "If it were just an argument that would be fine, at least by comforting her she might listen to me, but this involves our parents, and I really don’t know how to handle it, would you guys know how?"

Liang Zhanbai shared his situation with them.

They were all close university dorm mates, and after he shared, they all looked at each other, equally clueless about how to handle the situation.

One friend said, "Modern girls, each and every one of them thinks they’re a princess, demanding a hefty dowry for marriage, needing a house, and expecting to be taken care of during their confinement and child-rearing; I don’t know who spoiled them, but I’m certainly not brave enough to marry, I’d rather die alone."

Another friend said, "My mom says house and car are no problem, taking care of confinement and grandchildren are no problem, just as long as I bring someone home. But why would I do that? Why would I marry an ancestor? Isn’t it better spending my own money?"

Another friend chimed in, "Be content fellas, it’s good enough to find a wife, I can’t even find one if I wanted."

"If only it were like the old days, when women took care of household chores and children, and we men just needed to work and earn money."

"..." Hearing their words, Liang Zhanbai felt even more annoyed.

He then said, "Let’s play games, stop talking about this, the boat will straighten when it hits the bridge."

...

Xi Wanfen waited at home for two days, but received no calls or messages from Liang Zhanbai, which made her extremely angry, so she also didn’t reach out to him proactively.

Unexpectedly, on the third day, Mr. Liang actually called her.

Mr. Liang said that they would soon be returning to their hometown, and wanted to meet her parents before leaving.

Xi Wanfen’s initial feeling was to not meet.

Liang Zhanbai hadn’t contacted her, and now his parents wanted to meet her parents, what was this supposed to mean?

"I need to ask my parents first, to see if they’re available," said Xi Wanfen.

Mr. Liang agreed.

That evening, Xi Wanfen waited at home for Xi Huarong to return.
