Rebirth in the 80s: The Scholar Wife is Cute

As soon as these words came out, Cheng’s mother’s face changed instantly. She already looked down on Shen Mianmian and was unwilling to show her a friendly face, but she didn’t expect Shen Mianmian to be so presumptuous.

Thinking about this, she frowned and said, "Mianmian, no matter what, I am your aunt. What are you talking about? Would I ever poison you by putting something in the bedding?"

After she finished speaking, she took the bedsheets back, "If you don’t want them, forget it. This set is quite expensive, I really didn’t feel like giving it away anyway."

Before Shen Mianmian could speak, Ruan Lingyu intervened, "Then take it back! Our family is not short of this set, I can still afford a set of sheets and quilts as a dowry gift, we don’t need anyone else’s generosity."

Ruan Yiqian and Ruan Feng initially wanted to speak up, but unexpectedly Ruan Lingyu spoke first. Both of them changed their minds and remained silent, knowing Ruan Lingyu was protecting Shen Mianmian. This was a good thing, possibly an opportunity to alleviate the tension between mother and daughter, so both tacitly avoided interrupting.

Let these four women argue among themselves, perfectly matching mother and daughter against mother and daughter. They knew Shen Mianmian and Ruan Lingyu were capable of holding their own in verbal disputes, so they wouldn’t lose out anyway.

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn’t talk like that." Cheng’s mother didn’t expect Ruan Lingyu to actually support Shen Mianmian, "I came here with good intentions to celebrate your event, what are you doing? Disrespecting the gift I brought? My family might not be as well-off as yours, I didn’t have sons who have their own companies, so you look down on me, I probably deserve it..."

Hearing Cheng’s mother’s nagging voice, Shen Mianmian felt a headache and stood up, "I’m going to rest for a while."

Ruan Yiqian and Ruan Feng thought she was really tired, so they quickly said, "Then go rest! We will call you when it’s time to eat."

"Hmm." Shen Mianmian nodded her head and went upstairs.
