Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Long-Suffering Wife Has Become the Mistress of the House
Accompanied by the clang of the courtyard door, Mrs. Xiao Li, who had been chattering endlessly inside, instantly fell silent. She wanted to soften, but still felt she was not at fault.
In the end, Mrs. Xiao Li did not chase after him.
And Yuan Shouhu, who had been beaten, continued to cry out loudly.
Mrs. Xiao Li’s mind was on Yuan Zhaodi a moment ago, but the next moment, she was only focused on how to comfort her son.
"What a sin!"
In the main room, Old Yuan let out a long sigh.
In the past, where were all these issues in this household?
"Wife, what do you think of our youngest and his wife, what’s going on with them?"
"In the past, the two of them were never like this!"
Old Yuan couldn’t figure it out, couldn’t understand it.
Mrs. Zeng, seeing her husband like this, couldn’t help but laugh and said, "You are just confused."
"How am I confused?"
Old Yuan truly couldn’t understand.
Mrs. Zeng pursed her lips and said, "In the past, we hadn’t divided the family. The big and small matters at home were decided by the two of us."
"They didn’t have to think or worry about anything."
"Even if we talked about dividing the family before, it was divided but not really divided. You were still the head, and I was making decisions about everything big and small."
"Think about it, when we first divided the family, wasn’t it a mess of trivialities?"
"The kids cried and made noise!"
"The house was chaotic, and there was noise!"
"If there was a disagreement, there was noise!"
"At that time, I carried the kids back to my mother’s place several times!"
"Uh..."
Old Yuan, hearing his wife’s words, felt somewhat embarrassed. He had forgotten most of what happened back then.
Mrs. Zeng left Old Yuan speechless with her words.
After a long while, Old Yuan solemnly said, "I remember when we argued in the past, my mother helped you vent your anger quite a lot!"
"That’s because you made me angry!"
"Yes, yes, it was my fault!"
Old Yuan chuckled, "Then should we help our youngest and his wife?"
"Help with what?"
Mrs. Zeng snorted, "With the temperament of the youngest’s wife, even if we don’t help, she can be righteous and confident. If we do help, wouldn’t she be overconfident?"
"Now that I think about it, when we first considered the match, I thought the girl was diligent and clever, seemed gentle. Who would’ve thought it was all an act!"
Mrs. Zeng had become a perceptive person now.
Mrs. Xiao Li, when she was at her parental home, was cautious and hardworking due to the preference for sons over daughters. After marrying into the Yuan Family, she was attentive to her parents-in-law.
But now, with the family divided, she has turned from a daughter-in-law into a matriarch over the years!
Mrs. Zeng understood this now, but she also didn’t understand.
Obviously, she had never mistreated any daughter-in-law, so why did the daughters-in-law change their behavior after the family was divided?
The eldest daughter-in-law has always had her own ideas, and now she’s admitting fault to them. It’s unclear if it’s genuine or just for show.
The second and third daughters-in-law, because their husbands are not around, have learned to make decisions on their own. Currently, there seem to be no issues with them.
Only the youngest daughter-in-law has changed too much.
Frankly speaking, the youngest daughter-in-law seems like a completely different person.
Before, the youngest daughter-in-law was gentle, and never showed a preference for sons over daughters. She spoke softly to the youngest, but now her personality has completely changed.
