Chapter 422: Chapter 423: Old Lady Li Visits - Part 2

The moment old Madam Li heard about the Chen family dividing their property at noon today, she immediately brought her grandsons over.

"Chunhua, come out and prepare some food for your old mother and nephews. We want meat and rice!" As soon as old Madam Li stepped into the courtyard, she started shouting. Gone was her previous caution—now she was utterly brazen.

Now that the old Chen family had split up, they each had their own home. She was no longer under the control of that tigress, Ma Xiulian!

Li Chunhua and Chen Jianye were taken aback at her voice. They hadn’t expected news to reach her so quickly!

The couple exchanged a glance, went out, and discovered that her old mother had unexpectedly brought over all five of her nephews!!

Li Chunhua’s forced smile collapsed instantly: "Mom, why did you bring all your nephews here?"

Chen Jianye’s face also darkened; her mother-in-law’s intention to take advantage of the situation was too apparent.

Old Madam Li glared and retorted, "Why can’t I bring them?! They’re all your real nephews! Hurry up and cook. Your nephews and I haven’t had lunch yet!"

She marched towards the kitchen, eager to see the spoils of her daughter.

"We didn’t divide much. How about I make you some eggs?" said Li Chunhua, blocking her path at the door.

She regretted not asking her youngest brother to build a cabinet for them a few days ago to lock up all the food.

Old Madam Li’s face immediately darkened, and she shouted in a screeching voice, "You ungrateful Li Chunhua, I raised you with so much hardship, and all I get back are a few eggs?!

"Let me tell you, that’s not enough! If it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t have been able to marry into the Chen family and live a good life! Now you’re living in the lap of luxury and you don’t even bother to help your old parents. Do you want your father and me to eat wild vegetables every day? How unjust this world is!"

Once she finished berating her daughter, she began to pick on her son-in-law, "I indeed have a great son-in-law! The mother-in-law arrives and you can’t even offer a piece of meat or a glass of water! When you got married, you said you’d treat me like your own mother. But you’ve changed your tune now!"

These antics weren’t new; she had pulled the same stunts at her other sons-in-law’s houses, and it had worked every time.

Everyone had their pride, and couldn’t stand her shenanigans. She knew this all too well.

Ma Xiulian had never fallen for her games before, but now that they had separated, she knew the youngsters couldn’t handle her, Wang Dahua!

When he saw her getting more and more agitated, Chen Jianye, a man who valued his reputation, couldn’t stand her shamelessness. He quickly told Li Chunhua, "Go cut some cured meat and stir-fry it, also add some rice to make porridge."

If this was heard by outsiders, they would think that he, as a son-in-law, was not treating his mother-in-law well.

Li Chunhua, reluctantly parting with her meat and rice, for the first time, wished her mother-in-law was home. Then her mother wouldn’t be so arrogant, maybe she wouldn’t even let her into the courtyard.

Unfortunately, her mother-in-law was out, so she could only grit her teeth and take it: "Mom, please go and sit in the main room with the nephews and have some water. I’ll go cook the meat for you now."

"Also steam some eggs! Hurry up, we’re all very hungry." Old Madam Li said as she arrogantly led her grandsons into the house to wait for the meat.

Once inside, she saw Chen Jianjun who was still eating...the sight of the two large bowls of glossy meat and vegetables made her eyes go wide in an instant.

Everyone’s share from the partition was about the same, there was no way one family got more than the other. That ungrateful girl must have received a lot of good stuff, she just didn’t want to share it with her family!
