Chapter 578 - 579: Exaggerating the Bull to the Heavens
...
"Times have changed, don’t always compare us to when we were kids. Back then, we didn’t go to the hospital because the family couldn’t afford it, but now things are better; of course, we should enjoy ourselves. If Shiping is really avoiding us because we’re from the countryside, I’d be the first to disagree."
Wan Dongcheng said this partly to Pan Huiyun and partly for the relatives to hear. He wanted to show off how well he was doing now and also boast about his authority in the household.
"You’re so capable, yet you let her manage the money?" The more her son defended his wife, the angrier Pan Huiyun got, and her words became nastier. "Getting you a job at No. 2 Middle School, that’s nothing compared to a government-assigned position. Dongcheng, let me tell you, your father-in-law favors sons over daughters. You’ve married this daughter-in-law in vain. Beyond looking a bit pretty, she’s good for nothing. It would have been better if you’d married Erya..."
"Mom, will you ever stop?" Wan Dongcheng, annoyed, smacked the table. He could tolerate her nagging usually, but now with so many relatives around, his mother didn’t give him any face at all.
Pan Huiyun was taken aback by how angry Wan Dongcheng had become.
Seeing his son’s face turn green with anger, Wan’s father also glared at his wife, "Dongcheng has said the child is seriously ill. City kids are more delicate; how can you compare her with the village children? Go check if the meat in the kitchen is stewed yet."
His son was his pride in the village, and Wan’s father doted on Wan Dongcheng the most. As for his daughter-in-law, whether she brought her daughter back home or not, he really didn’t care.
