In the Tu family, Hu's status is comparable to that of the Queen Mother in the palace, and even worse.

No one in the Tu family dared not listen to whatever she said.

Whatever she decides, they have to do it without even thinking about it.

Whenever she is unhappy, someone must be looking for her to be unhappy.

"Pah!" Ms. Hu picked up the chopsticks at hand and slammed them on the table. In her rage, she didn't like anyone.

Sitting on her left is the head of the Tu family, Tu Cao.

Seeing that Mr. Hu was angry, Tu Cao didn't dare to say anything. He kept his head drooped as usual. No one knew what he was thinking.

"After dinner, I want to meet you again, you...?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Tu Lei held Jing'er's arm, always paying attention to the wounds on the back of her hands, reminiscing about what had just happened, feeling physically and mentally satisfied.

Until now, the heat on Jing'er's face was still burning, making her whole body feel light and weak when walking.

The two of them were in a sweet mood, talking private words one by one, and sat down at the table in a relaxed manner.

"Mom, do you eat...?"

Tu Lei and Jing'er were joking and quarreling while holding bowls and chopsticks to eat. In the past, Tu Lei would put the first bite of food into Hu's bowl and watch Hu eat it. He could only eat it as a son.

Not only him, but also Jing'er, who is new to this family, must do the same.

Jing'er held the food in her mouth and her eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be food for humans?

Although Tu Dian could feel Jing'er's gaze fixed on him, when he thought of his sister-in-law and his eldest brother, he couldn't help but feel pantothenic acid in his heart.

A good woman who doesn't cook and does other things deserves to suffer.

"Mom, this isn't me...?"

"Sister-in-law, before mom said anything, you are eager to express your position. Do you want to be the master of the family?"

Tu Dian stopped Jing'er's words and his tone was still gentle.

However, the crime of being the master of the family is too serious!

Mrs. Hu, who has always had the final say at home, how could she tolerate another woman sitting on her head?

"Stop talking, if you still want this home, kneel down!"

"mom……?"

Hu's unquestionable verdict was undoubtedly a thunderbolt in Jing'er's mind.

Is this still the smiling and polite mother-in-law she remembers?

Before she could react, she was dragged to her feet by Tu Lei in a daze, forced to kneel in front of the table, and was told by the man: "Listen to your mother."

Sister-in-law Tu Yin is Tu Lei’s sister and Tu Dian’s sister.

Before Jing'er could open her mouth to defend herself, Tu Yin gave her brother a wink and shook her head to signal him not to talk any more.

No matter whether the sister-in-law cooked the food intentionally or not, they could not deliberately stir up trouble and make their mother angry or harm her body.

"Mom, if I don't eat anymore, I'll be hungry!"

"Give it to her too, I don't want to be poked in the spine and cursed behind my back."

"Of course, my mother is kind-hearted and a Bodhisattva!"

Tu Dian's mouth was very sweet, which made Mr. Hu feel so happy that even when he ate the glutinous rice he felt it was a delicacy.

Jing'er felt that she had suffered great grievances and unfair treatment, and she tried to defend herself, but no one cared about her thoughts.

Even her husband, who was gentle with her, ignored her dissatisfaction on her face, her unhappiness in her heart, and the humiliation she suffered.

He picked up the dishes and chopsticks from the table and put them into her hands without even bothering to give her an extra glance.

The whole family looked eagerly at Mrs. Hu who smiled again, adding to the morbid family warmth.

In Jing'er's vision blurred by tears, her man kept adding vegetables to Hu's bowl, and he couldn't bear to take another bite.

This is... the man she relies on for her whole life?

"Jing'er, an old widow like Grandma Liu can have relatives who are officials and get money back. What about you, do you have any generous and decent relatives in your family? Even if it's not possible, the young masters from rich families can make do with introducing them to them.

We got to know Yin'er, set up a connection, secured a matchmaker, and it made for a happy marriage!"

"No."

Hu not only speaks beautifully, but also thinks beautifully!

If she hadn't heard Jing'er's timid answer, she would have imagined that through her daughter's blessing, she would be conferred the title of first-grade wife by the current emperor!

She casually pouted and said, "You are a poor girl, I don't know what the use of marrying you is."

"Mom, that's not what you said at first."

"Also, how long have you been married into the Tu family? Why are you acting like an old hen who can't lay eggs?"

"Thirteen days...?"

Obviously, in those few days when she came to Tu's house, her mother-in-law treated her extremely well, not letting her do any work, and always praising her for being virtuous, and even holding a lantern could not find anyone else.

This is only the thirteenth day.

Everything has changed, become outrageous and beyond recognition!

Will she have to live in the Tu family for the rest of her life?

With tears in Jing'er's eyes, she stuffed her mouth into the bowl of raw rice mixed with bitter tears, not wanting to cry.

"Don't think you will cry. When the time comes that you won't be able to give birth to a child and can't keep the lights on for my crooked eldest son, I will drive you away! My family will not raise useless trash!"

"Mom, please don't drive me away! I...I will definitely give birth to a child for my husband, I will!"

"I know! You woman don't have much strength, you don't have to eat so much, and you don't have to watch your man lose weight because of you, and even lose your appearance!"

Saying that, Mrs. Hu took the bowl and chopsticks from Jing'er's hand angrily, poured the rice into Tu Lei's bowl, then stuffed the bowl and chopsticks back to Jing'er and asked her to wash them.

.

Tu Lei glanced at the wound on the back of Jing'er's hand and continued to work hard.

She said it was a small wound, so washing the dishes should be fine.

"I'm going to take a shower." Miss Tu Yin put down the dishes and left as if she was having a temper tantrum.

Tucao, who kept his head down and pretended to be a transparent person, coughed and said: "Ahem, go to bed after washing, and go play with Baner Qing'er next door tomorrow morning."

"Two naughty little kids, should I go play with them? No."

"Your mother said, in order to find you a good family."

"With Uncle Gouzi's face, how can he have any decent relatives in his family? Mom, why don't my daughter go?"

Tu Yin didn't say much to her father. She walked outside the house and walked briskly back into the house.

She was tired of being around Mr. Hu, acting coquettishly and looking at her with wet eyes asking for help, which made Mr. Hu become soft-hearted and lose his temper.

At the door of the kitchen, Jing'er was washing dishes alone under the moonlight. The pain of the water touching her wound aggravated her inner pain.

In the room opposite, there was laughter and laughter that had nothing to do with her.

Thinking of this, tears welled up in Jing'er's eyes again, her nose felt sore, and an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion rushed towards her.

A severe dizziness hit her head, and she staggered and was about to fall to the ground. Suddenly her body became light and she fell into another embrace.

It was still the same voice that made her sick: Sister-in-law, are you okay?

"why you?"

Jing'er struggled to get out of Tu Dian's hands, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break Tu Dian's restraints.

She could clearly feel the strangeness of the man behind her, as well as the voices in the house not far away, and the approaching footsteps, all of which made her feel ashamed and wanted to die.
