Chapter 83 Dividing the Family Agreement (Part 3)
She had a clear understanding in her heart.
In this family, her father-in-law was somewhat sensible, although ultimately a bit selfish, favoring those who shared the Xie surname. But on major matters, he managed to be quite thoughtful.
Don’t think she was unaware; during her confinement after giving birth, what Xie Changgen claimed his mother insisted on keeping for her was actually demanded by her father-in-law. It was only because of the fear of her father-in-law that her mother-in-law would bring her food without any discount.
Yet on several occasions, after her mother-in-law brought the food, Jiabao and Jiabao’s wealth would follow in, pitifully staring at the bowl salivating. Her mother-in-law would then grumble about how the children were gluttonous and it was time for them to grow, implying that it wouldn’t be a big deal for an adult to eat less.
Beneath her words was the desire for her to voluntarily offer to share some of her portion with the two of them.
Considering she had to nurse two children, she stubbornly refused to engage and pretended not to understand. Seeing her like this, her mother-in-law did not give up. On one occasion, she even brought in an empty bowl and directly told her that she couldn’t finish so much food and might as well give half to the two children.
At that moment, she bluntly told her mother-in-law that she might as well not eat at all and give everything to Jiabao and Jiabao’s wealth. But since the food wouldn’t reach her anyway, she simply notified her family early on not to send more food in the future.
After that, although her mother-in-law never again mentioned sharing her portion of food with Jiabao and Jiabao’s wealth, her face looked displeased every time she brought in food. Even more so, she noticed that the looks Jiabao and Jiabao’s wealth gave her were filled with hatred.
