Chapter 482: Chapter 477: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 12 [Explosive Update 06]
——————
Seeing her mother-in-law’s face turn away in scorn when she asked her question, Fan Hongshan was used to it already and didn’t feel bad inside, but let out a cold ’hehe’ chuckle, bringing up the past:
"Mom, my sister-in-law has been married into the Fan Family for six years now. Over these years, which day has she not done better than that woman Li Xiaoxia? Besides having a powerful maternal family, what does Li Xiaoxia have?
Tsk, she’s such a filial and sensible woman, serving you well as a daughter-in-law, accommodating you in every way. Yet here you are, impressive indeed, rejecting the good role of a ’mother-in-law’ and preferring to dote on your ’real’ daughter-in-law Li Xiaoxia as if she were your granddaughter!"
Fan Hongshan had been holding these words back for several years, seeing her mother-in-law act more and more outrageously, and if she let her continue her mischief, the only future for her mother-in-law would be a miserable end!
But after her long tirade, Li Xiaochun didn’t take any of it in.
Seeing her mother-in-law’s fingers trembling with rage and glaring at her, Fan Hongshan felt even more angry and helpless. She brushed off her mother-in-law’s judgmental, shaking hands and continued to rant:
"Li Xiaoxia caused my sister-in-law to give birth prematurely that year, and Xiao Xianzi’s body is so weak, constantly catching colds and fevers, always needing medicine - all because of Li Xiaoxia! And now you even want my sister-in-law to legally transfer Xiao Xianzi to her as a son? I think you’re not just mindlessly foolish, you must have gone completely mad and turned into an imbecile!"
"Fan Hongshan!" Li Xiaochun roared furiously, grinding her teeth. If she was any weaker, she would have fainted from anger caused by her own daughter’s attitude.
"Mom! You are my real mother, and I’m raising my voice to try to awaken you. If I didn’t know how hard it has been for you as a widow all these years, do you think my brother would willingly demean himself again and again?
He pities you as a widow, and I beg you, please pity my brother too! What has he done to deserve you ruining his family, pushing it to the brink of destruction?!"
As Fan Hongshan mentioned her brother, her eyes reddened, and she looked at her mother-in-law sadly and said:
"Mom, back then you rejected elder aunt’s good intentions, thinking she harbored ulterior motives to snatch your son, making my brother, who was only fifteen, drop out of school to take on the ’first son’s’ duty of supporting the family!
Even to provide for our little brother’s education, to buy him a good notebook, you actually made my brother join the army!"
"..." At this, Li Xiaochun was still visibly angry, but upon hearing this, she fell silent, stunned.
"Mom, not to mention the past, just this matter of wanting to adopt Xiao Xian, you are essentially holding a sharp knife, forcing my brother and sister-in-law to despise you!
Back then, elder aunt simply wanted to help you share the burden of a son! But you felt that elder aunt was trying to snatch your son—how do you think my sister-in-law feels about you in her heart?
Mom, by doing things so ruthlessly, do you think you won’t need my brother and sister-in-law to take care of you in your old age?"
"Bullshit, he wouldn’t dare!" As soon as Li Xiaochun heard this, feeling insecure herself, she immediately snapped back fiercely.
"Ha! Mom, it’s really pointless talking to you. You’ve always felt indebted to Feng Shou, thinking he’s been unprotected since he lacked a father’s care from a young age, and because he looks like dad, you’ve been repeatedly lenient and biased towards him. But turning around, you keep making harsh demands on my brother!
If you don’t come around, all three grandsons of the Fan Family will despise you for life! After you die, who do you think will burn incense for you? Ha, that girl Baozhen?"
"Fan Hongshan, how dare you curse your own mother like this? No matter how much they resent, they are still the Fan Family’s own grandsons!" Upon hearing this, Li Xiaochun felt inflamed inside and spontaneously threw the iron tankard from the table towards her daughter—
"Ah!" "Clang, clang!"
Fan Hongshan watched her mother’s actions and stepped back to avoid her, but Li Xiaochun was truly furious. Being scolded by her daughter and hit right in her biggest worry, she couldn’t save face, and acted without thinking. Originally, she just wanted to throw something to vent, but if the daughter had just stood still, it probably wouldn’t have hit her.
Unexpectedly, Fan Hongshan, startled, instinctively jumped to the side. Like a live target, she moved directly into the path of the flying iron cup, which struck her right in the forehead.
Fortunately, the force wasn’t very strong, and Fan Hongshan had already drunk all the water from the cup in her anger, resulting in a big bluish bump forming on her forehead shortly after.
"Mother, are you trying to kill your daughter?!" Fan Hongshan shouted angrily.
"I, I, now you’re being reasonable? If you hadn’t cursed me to die, why would I be so angry?!" Li Xiaochun, seeing the swelling on her daughter’s face and the iron cup on the floor, shouted back with some restraint.
"Mother, which ear of yours heard me cursing you to death?
You’re my own mother, even if I’m unfilial, I would never curse you! I was just kindly reminding you not to let temporary emotions ruin your old age!
You’re being completely unreasonable!"
"Right, I am being unreasonable, I just want Feng Shou to have a son to carry on the family line! Tell me, are you going to help me or not, if you are then come with me to Qingfeng Village!" Li Xiaochun yelled, hands on her hips.
Angered, Fan Hongshan’s face turned red with frustration. After hearing her words, she immediately rolled her eyes and retorted, "I’m not going! I still have my dignity. You want a grandson, go by yourself!"
Holding her forehead, her mother had injured her and didn’t even care how she was, and was shouting even louder? Her rusted brain was indeed degraded from too many good days. Hopeless!
"Fine, you won’t help me, right? I’ll go by myself!" Fan Hongshan’s attitude only added fuel to the fire, Li Xiaochun shouted at her daughter, then stormed out and slammed the door with a loud bang—
With her head spinning and feeling bitter, Fan Hongshan slumped down, clutching her forehead. Looking at the trembling slammed door, she thought to herself: What a mess! freewebnσvel.cøm
She glanced at the clock—it was three in the afternoon. Thinking Fengshou should be at work in the factory, she was truly frightened by her mother’s foolishness. This was a matter concerning her elder brother’s happiness, and she felt compelled not to ignore it!
But first, she had to find out what Fengshou himself thought!
The more Fan Hongshan thought of her husband’s cold expression, the more her forehead pained her. Were it not for her elder brother’s support, her household would have sooner or later been dragged down by Fengshou!
While listening to the ringtone in the receiver, Fan Hongshan clenched her teeth. When she heard a familiar voice, she took a deep breath and angrily asked,
"Fengshou, about adopting Xiao Xianzi, is it her idea, your idea, or your wife’s idea?"
"Sister?! Uh, is mother with you? I was just planning to tell mother not to mention adoption anymore, because of Baozhen..." Fengshou, hearing it was his sister Fan Hongshan, replied with a dry and weak voice.
"Fengshou! Do you have a brain or not, actually considering not adopting? Why didn’t you clarify it with mother earlier? She just threw a tantrum here, shouting about needing to adopt and ran off!"
Fengshou was stunned: "I didn’t know..."
Last night, his workplace was busy, and he was occupied until eleven o’clock before returning home, covered in mosquito bites. After getting home, he fell asleep on the bed without even taking a bath.
The next day, his colleague came early to call him, and he hadn’t even seen his wife or daughter, let alone his mother!
