Chapter 1731: Chapter 1731: Don’t Want Such a Daughter-in-law

Zhe Jue feared Lin Caisang hadn’t heard clearly, so he repeated it once more.

"I witnessed it with my own eyes. Despite Su Meihua’s husband constantly trying to persuade her, he couldn’t. She ended up kicking him a few times, and now their house is filled with crying that shakes the heavens."

Lin Caisang blinked and glanced at Sui Zimo beside her before looking back at Zhe Jue.

"How can... How can there be such a woman?"

Murmuring between her red lips, she was furious to death yet couldn’t utter a single harsh word.

How on earth was such a woman raised?

"Heh,"

What could she say anyway?

All she could say was that she was sitting and waiting for Su Meihua to come to her door. When the time came, she’d avenge everyone’s grievances for them!

...

At Su Meihua’s in-laws’.

Several sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law were commanded by Su Meihua to slice numerous cuts on their own faces.

Scars weren’t feared as they had secretly prepared medicine, which could be slowly healed.

But those were cuts on the face, carved out from the flesh; how couldn’t it hurt? The women were in such pain they didn’t even have the strength to sit up, lying on the ground and howling in misery.

"It’s a sin, what kind of sin have I committed!"

The old lady sat on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

It wasn’t as if she pleaded for Su Meihua to be her daughter-in-law; rather, it was Su Meihua who fancied her son.

If it weren’t for the fact that Su Meihua’s father was the commander of the Lotus Commandery and she couldn’t refuse the marriage, she wouldn’t have wanted such a daughter-in-law, even if she were offered a mountain of gold and silver.

Fortunately, Su Meihua couldn’t get accustomed to living with her in-laws and often stayed at her parents’ house for months without returning, giving them a break.

Yet even so, whenever Su Meihua returned to her in-laws’ house, trouble was sure to follow.

Like this time...

She finally found a divine doctor and thought her daughters-in-law’s faces could be saved, going through great trouble to get the medicine.

Who would have known that her good-for-nothing son would leak it to Su Meihua.

Now look, the house was upset again.

Oh, what should she do?

"Mother, Mother, please... please don’t wail,"

Listening to his own mother cry, Su Meihua’s husband wasn’t very upset but rather worried.

He feared that his lady would grow even angrier after hearing his mother wailing, making his own days harder.

After all, it was not easy for him to marry Su Meihua, a wife with such authority; of course, he had to cherish her and couldn’t let his own mother ruin his good fortune.

"Mother, please stop crying. Meihua will get angry if she hears it. You wouldn’t want your son’s life to become unbearable, would you?"

"You—"

Hearing her son’s words, the old lady almost choked with rage.

"You... you scoundrel, get out, get out of here! From now on, you’re no longer a son with a spine in this house!"

She pointed towards the door and roared at her son.

His sisters-in-law had suffered so much, yet he couldn’t see his fault, even daring to lecture his own mother.

Was he really her son?

"Mother!"

Su Meihua’s husband looked reproachfully at his own mother.

"How am I spineless? If it hadn’t been for me staying with my father-in-law these past two years, could our family have such a status in Lotus Commandery? Don’t you know to give way a little to Meihua? Why must you oppose her?

And my sisters-in-law, too, why do they insist on treating their faces? Can’t they live if they look a little less charming?"
