Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Supplementing the Parent’s Home More

But the two towns were far apart, and Ma Xiulian didn’t like her. Apart from when they first got married, she only visited once when Xiaobao was a month old, so she had no idea that the Chen Family was living so freely and lushly.

Li Chunhua quickly begged for mercy, "It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that my mother-in-law won’t let me. Otherwise, she would send me back to my parents’ home."

She felt a bit regretful for impulsively telling her mother everything, but luckily she had a formidable mother-in-law who even her mother feared.

As expected, as soon as the old lady Li heard this, she believed it, "That damned old hag!"

She didn’t think that her daughter, whom she had controlled since childhood, would dare to deceive or defy her, but she was very unsatisfied with her daughter’s timid and useless nature, "You’re Guibao’s real mother, isn’t it true that you can take whatever good things she has in her hands?!"

Li Chunhua immediately cried out unjustly, "Mom, as you know, that damn girl isn’t close to me at all. She’s never called me ’mom’ from when she was little. Moreover, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have clearly said that they won’t let me control anything; they will bring her up."

Seeing her look of grievance, the old lady Li thought to herself, how could she have given birth to such a useless waste!

Not to mention being suppressed by her mother-in-law, she couldn’t even control her own daughter!

Her other daughters had more or less stolen good things from their mother-in-law’s house to make up for the needs at home, but her best- married daughter hadn’t even contributed an egg!

If it was before, she would have taken action and given her daughter a good beating long ago.

But her daughter was too stupid and useless, and her mother-in-law was too clever and cunning. Beating her was also useless, so it was better to coax her and find opportunities to steal something to contribute to their family.

So, for once, the old lady Li patiently held her temper. Holding her daughter’s hand, she spoke earnestly, "My daughter, you have to understand that in the eyes of the mother-in-law’s family, a woman will always be an outsider. And since you only have one son, if you are bullied by the mother-in-law’s family, only your brothers from your own family can help you. You must remember that only your brothers who share your bloodline can be your support and reliance."

She completely forgot how she used to oppress her daughters multiple times with the excuse that "daughters are nothing but a burden others have to pay to raise."

Li Chunhua nodded emotionally, "Mm, mom, I know."

However, what echoed in her mind was a phrase her mother often had on her lips: only sons can be a woman’s support and reliance.

She deeply agreed with this phrase because both her mother and mother-in-law had many sons, so they had such strong positions within their husbands’ families!

Once she had given birth to five or six sons, her days of suffering would come to an end!

By then, she wouldn’t have to worry about being disliked by her husband’s family or about being abandoned by her parents’ family. Being in charge, she would live a relaxed and commanding life!

But now, she had to grit her teeth and silently swallow all the grievances from both her husband’s and parents’ families and save a way out for herself.

"That’s good to know"

The old lady Li didn’t know what she was thinking and pretended to sighed sorrowfully, "Ah, look at you, feasting in your husband’s home, while your brothers and nephews are barely scraping by, unable to fill their stomachs. As their sister, you ought to help out your parents’ family."

But Li Chunhua believed not one word she said!

She knew very well that even if her parents were eating coarse grain and vegetables, they would never let their son and grandson go hungry.

She showed a troubled expression, "I’d like to help out our family, but all the grains at home are locked up by my mother-in-law, and she carries the key with her all the time. Even if I want to contribute, I have no way to do so."
