Chapter 460 Mother-in-law Visits 1
"If I had known earlier that your wife wouldn’t be of any help, I would never have let you marry her. So what if she’s a professor’s daughter? No help from her family, marrying an emperor’s daughter would be useless, too. You might as well have married Erya. She’s married to someone in the next village and already has a son, unlike her, she gave birth to a loss, never takes care of you at home but runs to her parents’ house every day."
Pan Huiyun didn’t know Li Shiping was outside, she spoke these harsh and sarcastic words while her eyes darted around the house, looking for anything good she could take back to the village to show off.
"Mom, why do you have to say these things? If Shiping hears it, she’ll definitely be upset."
Wan Dongcheng was getting impatient, Pan Huiyun always brought up Erya, and when he was in his teens, he did have a thing for Erya. At that time, he thought Erya was the prettiest in the village, and being with her was a matter of pride.
But as he grew older and went to the city for school, he felt that Erya, who had never been educated, was not his match.
Especially after meeting Li Shiping - beautiful, well-educated, and from a good family - Li Shiping was leagues above Erya when compared. Erya had become the part of his past he least wanted to remember.
He always felt that being mentioned in connection with Erya lowered his own status.
The Li family might look down on him, but bringing Li Shiping out, or even back to the village, always gave him a great deal of pride. Only a woman like Li Shiping was worthy of him - ten Eryas couldn’t compare.
"She’s not home and doesn’t have eyes that can see a thousand miles, what could she possibly hear?" Pan Huiyun snorted with her sharp and harsh words, "Even if she hears, so what? I’m speaking the truth. Look at her, gone for two days and not caring for you. If I hadn’t come today, you would have had nothing to eat for breakfast. Back in the village, though the living wasn’t as good as here, you never went hungry."
