Chapter 611 Going Home to Get Things
Seeing Li Shiping returning from outside, she unleashed a torrent of abuse, "Why aren’t you staying at home taking care of the kids instead of running off somewhere? Your elder cousin and his wife came over and they’ve been shut outside all day. How can you call yourself a host?"
Li Shiping, furious, turned crimson, and Shen Mianmian gently tugged at her sleeve to remind her, "Sister Shiping, don’t bother with her. Let’s just grab our things and go."
Staying longer would only complicate things if Wan Dongcheng happened to show up.
Li Shiping nodded, opened the door, and went into the house.
Feeling ignored, Pan Huiyun became even more enraged, following Li Shiping and cursing, "Li Shiping, my son isn’t home, and this is how you treat his mother? Such an unfilial daughter-in-law would have been divorced in ancient times, struck by lightning from the heavens. Wait until my son returns; you’ll regret this."
Li Shiping ignored her, went back to her room with Shen Mianmian, and slammed the door shut, leaving her to spew insults outside without opening the door.
Wan’s elder cousin, seeing Pan Huiyun’s insults getting excessive, couldn’t help but interject, "Auntie, the younger sister-in-law might have had to leave for a bit; she didn’t even know we were coming. You can’t blame it all on her. Please stop the scolding."
After all, they were guests, and since this was the house Li Shiping’s family provided as part of her dowry and her family was wealthy, Wan’s elder cousin felt that going too far was inappropriate; he even felt a bit guilty. Besides, they had to stay there for a few more days, and if they started an argument, their stay wouldn’t be peaceful either.
Wan’s elder cousin’s wife added on, "Auntie, don’t be angry anymore. Look, you’ve been scolding for so long and the younger sister-in-law hasn’t said a word—that’s already very commendable. We’re all hungry. Let her come out and cook some food, and we can put this behind us."
