Chapter 38 Shrew or Resentful Woman
"Opportunity? You mean if they cause trouble again, I can lose my temper?" Yao Chunian realized.
"Losing your temper? All you do is lose your temper!" Yao Shula looked at Yao Chunian.
"Flip the table! If everyone thinks your cooking is bad, then nobody should eat it. Think about all the grievances you've suffered. Shouldn't you flip the table?" Yao Shuxin interjected at the opportune moment.
"Yes! We also need a kitchen knife."
With a kitchen knife in hand, no one dared to step forward. "Yao Shuli, who was focused, chimed in.
Yao Shula immediately patted Yao Shuli.
This kid only remembers the time he went to smash up a wedding banquet with a kitchen knife in his hand, and he always has a kitchen knife on his lips.
Yao Shuli chuckled and squeezed closer to Yao Shula.
He's right. Holding a kitchen knife makes you look imposing, and you can solve anything.
"Shuxin is right, if we flip the table, no one will be able to eat."
Your brother-in-law and his wife are probably staying at home too, and they definitely won't help, so you'll still have to cook that meal.
If you flip the table, everyone in your in-laws' family will definitely be shocked.
Then your mother-in-law did exactly what you described: she sat down on the ground and started wailing, either clapping her hands or slapping her thighs.
While wailing, they also cursed you for being unfilial and causing trouble during the Lunar New Year.
At this point, all you need to do is open the front door and sit there howling.
Remember, you must open the door so that all the neighbors can see and hear it.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, every family with a daughter is overjoyed to welcome her home!
If you make such a fuss, everyone will definitely come out to watch the show.
Those around recognized her immediately. "Isn't this the eldest daughter of the Yao family? Why didn't she go home to her parents' house today?"
Sister, now is the time for you to start settling accounts.
Remember, you have to tell everyone what happened during this time while you're crying.
For example, you work hard to prepare a table full of dishes on New Year's Eve, but instead of appreciating it, people criticize your cooking as worthless.
And you're busy in the kitchen all by yourself, while others are considered dutiful daughters-in-law just for chatting with their parents-in-law in the main room.
You've worked so hard for so long, and not only are you being criticized, but you also have to take the blame for your mother-in-law.
She was clearly trying to manipulate her younger daughter-in-law into making you cook braised fish, but in the end, she said you were deliberately causing trouble.
Then, you should also talk about your trip back to your parents' home on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
But you didn't come back to complain!
You came back just to complain.
Then, Lao Yao's family members, who are all kind-hearted, all advised you to be patient, saying that it's not easy during the Spring Festival, and that you should just bear with it and it will pass.
My brother-in-law and his family only come back once a year, so they definitely didn't mean to cause trouble.
Your aunt advises you not to go back to your parents' home during the second year of junior high school.
She stayed at her husband's house, helping her mother-in-law prepare a meal to entertain her sister-in-law.
See, doesn't this make the Yao family suddenly seem like a reasonable family?
But even though you kindly helped your mother-in-law prepare a meal, she still doesn't appreciate it, still finds fault with you, and still says bad things about you.
This really angered you, and in a fit of rage, you overturned the table.
"After such a tearful outburst, who do you think those onlookers will criticize behind their backs?" Yao Shula asked with a smile.
Following Yao Shula's words, Lao Yao's family thought about it...
Haha, that old woman in the Zhang family will probably be known as a wicked mother-in-law from now on!
Also, the younger brother-in-law and his wife, who only come back once a year, have also been accused of deliberately coming back to cause trouble.
Old Zhang's younger sister-in-law...
That guy was never one to be trifled with, and now his reputation is just getting worse.
"Big sister, you used to always swallow your anger. In other people's eyes, you were a good daughter-in-law."
If you make such a scene, people will only think that you were pushed to the limit.
Otherwise, given your past personality, would you have caused such a scene?
"In everyone's eyes, you're just a wronged wife who's been forced into a corner and has nowhere to turn," Yao Shula continued to persuade her.
"Won't people call me a shrew?" Yao Chunian's eyes lit up.
"Fine! So what if she's a shrew?"
"Would you rather be a carefree shrew or a resentful, submissive woman?" Yao Shula asked directly.
“Then… it’s better to be a shrew!” Yao Chunian immediately made his choice.
"That's right! Besides, you're not really a shrew, you're just a little bit shrewish."
Besides, you've become so shrewish, and it's not like they forced you to be.
Big sister, you'd better remember this: only when you're assertive will Qiangqiang have a good life.
"If you're assertive, they won't dare to bully you!" Yao Shula laughed.
Old Yao's family was dumbfounded.
Grandma Yao thought it was a pity to let Yao Shula and her two siblings live outside; Yao Shula should be in charge of the household.
Aunt Yao was relieved.
Fortunately, Yao Shula is not his daughter-in-law. If she were, he would probably be miserable to death.
The others were thinking that they didn't know which unlucky person would become Yao Shula's mother-in-law in the future.
"What if...they make a move against Chun Nian?"
After all, that family is truly of one mind!
"If we really fight... Chun Nian will definitely suffer!" Yao's eldest sister-in-law suddenly asked.
"I'd love for them to make a move, sis! Let me tell you something!"
Even if they just push you, you'll sit on the ground and accuse them of hitting you.
Who are the Yao family? They must be one of the best families around here!
Look, in order to make life easier for the eldest sister, everyone is urging her to help cook at her husband's house on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
If the Zhang family dares to make a move...
The older brothers are vegetarians!
"If we don't go and support our eldest sister now, when will we?" Yao Shula laughed.
Yao Chunian's older brothers immediately perked up.
Yes, they are right. Their sister was bullied, shouldn't they get revenge?
The three sisters-in-law were even more eager to try.
What a great opportunity...
"Um... Mom, I won't be going back to my parents' house tomorrow. I'll have someone talk to them about it later."
I have some things to take care of at Lao Yao's house tomorrow, so I won't be going back for now. I'll go back in a couple of days.
"What if something happens to Chun Nian? That would be the perfect opportunity for us to step in!" Yao's eldest sister-in-law immediately declared.
"Mom, I'm not going back tomorrow either."
The Spring Festival is a big deal; what if they make a move?
Our family has to stand up for us!
“Yes! Mom, I’m not going back either! I’ll stay home and look after the house!” Zhong Xiaochun immediately replied.
Looking at his sisters-in-law's enthusiastic manner, Yao Chunian didn't know what to say for a moment.
Aunt Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.
She was holding Yao Shula's hand, about to say that she should come back and visit more often...
The door to Old Yao's house was pushed open.
Yao Guohua came to wish Grandma Yao a Happy New Year.
He also brought Song Yuling and her son Jiang Xiaotao with him...
