Chapter 462: Chapter 462 Mother-in-law Visits 3

Hearing her husband’s continuous complaints, Li Shiping felt disheartened, "Dongcheng, my parents and my brother are all trying to do what’s best for us, how come you can’t put yourself in their shoes for a moment?"

"Li Shiping, now that you’re married to me, you are my wife, and we’re in this together, like grasshoppers on a string. Can’t you stop siding with your family all the time? You need to think more about our own little family and have your parents and your brother help us live a better life." Wan Dongcheng couldn’t stand Li Shiping and her family’s principles, always preaching about staying grounded and criticizing him from a moral high ground.

In plain terms, they just looked down on him, right?

If he were some rich second-generation heir, wouldn’t the Li family be fawning over him?

Would it be like this now?

"My dad and Xiaoyue aren’t unwilling to help; it’s just you who’s always trying to aim too high without being willing to stay grounded." Facing her husband’s lack of understanding, Li Shiping’s heart was indescribably heavy with sorrow.

"It’s obvious that they could help me soar to great heights, so why insist on me staying grounded? Isn’t it just because they look down on me?" Already unsatisfied with his desires, Wan Dongcheng’s frustration boiled over into anger, and with these words, he bluntly voiced his deepest thoughts.

"How could you have become like this?" Li Shiping looked at him incredulously, feeling that the husband before her was profoundly unfamiliar.

Before marriage, Wan Dongcheng had always stressed that it wasn’t because of her parents that he liked her, and promised that after marriage he would work hard to achieve something on his own, to show her parents that she hadn’t chosen the wrong person.

But why is reality like this?

How can someone change so much?

Is this still the person she knew?

"I have always been like this," Wan Dongcheng said with a scoff, filled with scorn, "It’s just your family acting all high and mighty. Go out and ask around, who wouldn’t secure a path for their son-in-law? It’s either your parents looking down on me or they favor sons over daughters, not caring about your wellbeing at all and only wanting your brother to have it good."

Li Shiping stared at him, tears streaming down her face. Other than crying, she didn’t know what else to say.

Her family had been so good to her husband, yet this is what he thought of them.

"Cry, cry, cry, what else can you do besides cry?" Wan Dongcheng, irritated at seeing Li Shiping crying, angrily threw the pillows and comforter from the bed onto the floor.

Before their marriage, he found Li Shiping’s gentle nature appealing, but after marriage, he realized that not only was Li Shiping of no help, but she only ever thought about her family and was prone to tears.

He would have preferred that she argue with him, then go complain to Xiu Min; this way, Xiu Min would sympathize with her daughter, and who knows, might influence Li Julin.

No matter what state their lives were in, she just wouldn’t grumble.

In the past, she always brought money from her family, and though he said he was unwilling to accept it, in reality, he wished she’d talk to her family and get him a good job, like a leadership position or something.

He was trying to put on an act of integrity, but she, on the contrary, actually stopped accepting the money from her family.

Foolish woman.

Li Shiping’s heart clenched in pain, and other than cry, she didn’t know what else she could say.

Suddenly, a child’s cry came from the living room, and she quickly wiped her tears and went out to soothe the child.

Seeing her come out, Pan Huiyun put the baby into her arms and started complaining with a sullen face, "Your daughter’s got quite the temper. I’ve never seen a child so hard to take care of. Other people’s kids gulp down water, finishing half a bowl quickly, but not her; she just refuses to swallow and keeps slapping the bowl with her hand."
