Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time! - Chapter 885

885 Quarrel Between Mother and Daughter-In-Law

Luo Chen had been very distressed recently. She had been married to the Yun family for almost a week and had helped the family a lot, but his mother-in-law, Ma Yan, always picked on her.

It was either this dish that was too bland or that dish did not suit her taste. Even if she spent too much money on the ingredients, Ma Yan would complain about it. Meanwhile, Ma Yan was just resting and doing nothing.

There was a nanny at home, but Ma Yan used the excuse that the food did not suit her taste and asked Luo Chen to buy food and cook every day.

Yun Qiao’s heart ached for her every time he saw her. Until now, he had quarreled with Ma Yan countless times over this matter and even helped her with most of the housework.

!!
Luo Chen always felt that it was because of her that the mother and son quarrelled. She repeatedly tried to communicate with Ma Yan, but she was rejected.

However, when forced into a corner, even a rabbit would get angry.

As soon as Yun Qiao got home, he heard Ma Yan scolding his wife. His first reaction was to shield Luo Chen behind her.

Yun Qiao had trained in the army and was much taller and stronger than before. Now, standing in front of Ma Yan, he was much taller than her and gave off an oppressive feeling.

Ma Yan had obviously noticed this as well. Her tone was much weaker than before, and she was acting pitiful.

“Yun Qiao, Chenchen bought a lot of ingredients this afternoon, and the Old Madam kept saying that it was a waste. There aren’t any guests today, so we should just have something simple. There’s no need to eat so much.”

The support funds from Yun Gang and Yun Shan were all in her hands, so Ma Yan naturally wanted to save as much as possible. Anyway, the Old Adam was also someone who liked to save money, so it was just as she wanted.

Who knew that Luo Chen would use this money to buy things, then Ma Yan would have to spend less for herself, right?

At the thought of this, she was even more displeased with this daughter-in-law.

“Mom! I didn’t buy a lot today, just a few simple dishes. Yun Zhu is still growing, and grandma is getting on in years. They haven’t been getting enough nutrients.”

Luo Chen thought of the three meals a day that Ma Yan had requested. There was no meat at all, only light green leafy vegetables. She could not stand it.

“That’s right, mom. We still have other subsidies now, so we’re quite well-off. The lady in the market next door even gives us discounts when she sees us going there often. It won’t cost much if we eat more.”

Yun Qiao saw that Luo Chen had lost a lot of weight after being married for a few days, so he persuaded Ma Yan along with Luo Chen.

Ma Yan was not happy when she heard this, but what they said did make sense. She could only use the old method to pester them.

“My son and daughter-in-law are disobedient now that they have a family. My life is really hard! How did I end up with such a daughter-in-law!”

“What’s the matter? Why are you making so much noise? I really don’t have many days of peace!”

Old Madam Yun, who was in the inner room, heard Ma Yan’s shout and came out. She had been living in the big house that Yun Gang had rented for the past few days. She did not have to do anything and had been living very comfortably.

It was just that she had just arrived in the city. She did not know her neighbors yet, and she did not have her husband to chat with. Her children also had their own things to do. Compared to her old house, it was a little lonely and boring. Now that she saw something, she naturally rushed to participate.

“Chenchen, this is where you’re wrong. How can a daughter-in-law quarrel with her mother-in-law? Besides, I’m already so old, and I can’t eat much. I think you bought so much because you’re disgusted by the light food these few days and want to use our money to buy ingredients to eat more!”

When she spoke, the Old Madam still looked at Ma Yan and warned her not to lower her standard of living.

Luo Chen was furious when she heard this. Was the Old Madam implying that she was after their family’s money? How much money could be used to buy ingredients a day? Not to mention that she did not understand the market at first, she was cheated and paid for it out of her own pocket. In the end, the Old Madam said that she was greedy for that little money?

Yun Qiao also frowned and looked at the Old Madam with dissatisfaction. Her words were too harsh, and he could not help but rebut and defend Luo Chen.

Before he could speak, Luo Chen said loudly, “I came here to live a good life with Yun Qiao, but you’re going too far by slandering me like this! ”

After that, she returned to her room and closed the door with a ‘bang’.

Ma Yan pouted and said to Yun Qiao, “Look at your wife. She’s only been here for a few days and she’s already so angry. Who can stand her in the future?”

Yun Qiao, however, did not give in to her mother and act as a peacemaker. Instead, he looked at Ma Yan and Old Madam Yun with a serious expression.

“Mom, grandma, you’ve really gone too far this time.” After that, he returned to his room alone, leaving the two of them to look at each other.

“These children are becoming more and more disobedient.”
