Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Making Mischief (8)_1

She learned today that not only was Ruan Jianguo going to build a multi-story house, but he had also bought a car, and this yellow croaker car was way more expensive than a bicycle.

Moreover, it was she who had scraped together all her savings to buy a bicycle for Liao Laifu. So why could Ruan Jianguo afford a car and also construct a multi-story house?

She would never believe that the Ruanlin Family hadn’t given her any help—she would sooner die than believe that!

Li Family saw the yellow croaker car too, staring unblinkingly with greed in her eyes, and muttering to Liao Zhaoji, "Zhaoji, your mother-in-law is really rich and truly favors the main house. Over all these years, I’ve never seen her buy anything for your family. Now she’s buying cars for the main house and building multi-story houses. One might think that your Jiandang was a foundling, considering how hard it is just to scrape together some medical expenses. For a mother to be this biased, there’s really no one else like her."

Li Family’s mission today was to stir up trouble.

While she spoke, she deliberately raised her voice so that everyone standing around could hear.

Some people from other villages who didn’t know the situation joined in the conversation: "Really? Wasn’t the multi-story building funded by Ruan Jianguo himself? It was his mom who gave the money? And bought him a car?"

"No way, could Ruan Jianguo’s mom really be that rich?" Some doubted.

"Of course she could. Don’t you know who Ruan Jianguo’s mom used to be? She was from a landlord family. Even though they had some property confiscated, who knows if she hid some assets? It’s really uncertain," another chimed in.

"That’s also true, but, sister-in-law, what do you mean by saying that?" someone asked Li Family, bringing the focus back to her.

Seizing the chance that someone had engaged with her, Li Family immediately replied, "What do I mean? It means that her mother is biased!"

"It’s the same son, isn’t it? A couple of days ago, my son-in-law fell and injured his leg, right? We had no money at home and asked her for a loan. She wouldn’t agree. If it hadn’t been for my daughter begging, her son’s leg would have been ruined," Li Family spoke with a note of righteous indignation.

"That can’t be true, can it?" someone questioned immediately, after all, it was her own son. How could she possibly let her own son’s leg be crippled?

"How could it not be possible? She’s just biased. Look, she buys cars and builds multi-story houses for her eldest son. Even squeezing out a little money, just a tiny bit, would have been enough for her second son’s medical treatment, right?" Li Family shook her head and sighed, looking pitifully at Liao Zhaoji, "It’s also because my daughter isn’t capable; she doesn’t know how to sweet-talk and only knows to work hard day in and day out. Even giving birth to three sons, she couldn’t win a sliver of favor from her mother-in-law."

With these words, she not only portrayed Liao Zhaoji as honest, hardworking, and capable, she also highlighted the impressive achievement of giving birth to three sons.

Right on cue, Liao Zhaoji began to wipe away tears at the side, casually trying to stop Li Family, "Mom, please don’t say anymore..."

"You’re too naive. Things like this should be let known to everyone. Isn’t it right to ask for a judgment?" Li Family looked around at the gathered people. Seeing a circle of heads nodding in agreement and urging her to continue, she spoke on.

"As in-laws, we really shouldn’t bring this kind of matter out in the open, but seeing my daughter so foolish and honest, I as a mother just feel too heartbroken. I can’t keep it inside, it’s just too hard to bear."

"When we’re talking about the same son, how can she be so biased? A while ago, didn’t the Ruan Family return from the back mountain with two wild pheasants? Clearly, it was my grandson Chizi who caught them, but her mother-in-law insisted it was her granddaughter, a little girl, mind you. Could such a small girl really get a pheasant? Do any of you actually believe that?"
