Chapter 252 - 127: A Farce
In front of Mrs. Wang, Shi Yumei indeed threw herself into her mother’s arms and cried intermittently in a truly miserable way, while Mrs. Wang gently patted her back, softly consoling her in hushed tones.
Upon seeing Shi Fengju and Sang Wan enter, Mrs. Wang’s expression turned somewhat sour. "You’re here, sit down!"
Sang Wan felt that if it were not for the sake of her brother-in-law, who had a soft spot and cared deeply for his daughter, her mother-in-law would probably have lost her temper long ago.
Shi Fengju pulled Sang Wan to sit down, pretending not to see Shi Yumei.
Upon hearing their entrance, Shi Yumei’s crying immediately escalated, sobbing and wailing "Mother!" and "Make the decisions!".
"Alright, alright, stop crying! You’ll lose your voice!" Mrs. Wang glanced at her son, whose face looked rather unpleasant, and her daughter-in-law with downcast eyes, and patted her daughter’s back to console her.
"Mother! I think my husband and I should just leave the Shi family! We’re only disliked and ridiculed here! A married daughter is like spilled water, I’ve been foolish to expect to still be treated as part of the Shi family!" Shi Yumei sat up, her voice breaking as she spoke.
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Wang said indignantly: "Can’t our Shi family even support its own Mistress? It would be shameful to speak of such things! Yumei, you have never been an outsider in this house, don’t entertain such ludicrous thoughts! You’ve been wronged, and mother will stand up for you!"
"Mother!" Shi Yumei’s nose soured, and tears rolled down anew.
