Chapter 474: Chapter 474 As a Matter of Course

Seeing Wan Dongcheng give up so quickly, and really just trying to make a living to provide her a better life, Li Shiping felt a bit more at ease.

"Dongcheng, I’ll talk to mom tomorrow and ask her to have a friend arrange a job for you, okay?" Fearing he might get angry, Li Shiping’s voice was particularly soft, entirely in a tone of negotiation.

She had expected Wan Dongcheng to resist as before, since he was just now fantasizing about doing business and being a boss, but to her surprise, Wan Dongcheng pursed his lips and agreed very readily.

"Okay."

"Dongcheng, you agreed?"

Li Shiping was elated, her eyes shone particularly bright.

A glint of calculation flashed in Wan Dongcheng’s eyes, but his expression remained sincere, "I was wrong before, causing you distress, and it’s no surprise that mom and dad look down on me. It’s my fault for being disappointing, but this time I will definitely work hard and make them take notice."

Wan Dongcheng understood Li Shiping’s temperament very well. Now, by first bringing up the matter of selling the house and then working diligently for a while, when the time comes, he could pretend to be aggrieved at work. Shiping would feel sorry for him, and the matter of selling the house would likely be settled.

"Dongcheng, I just knew you would come around." Li Shiping cried tears of joy, hugging Wan Dongcheng tightly, feeling that the grievances she had suffered recently were insignificant.

At that moment, the child started crying. Wan Dongcheng patted her shoulder and helped her wipe away her tears, "The child is crying, go check on him."

Li Shiping hurried back to the room and picked up the child. Only when the child stopped crying did she notice the wardrobe was a mess.

Without question, her mother-in-law had been rummaging through the house again.

Wan Dongcheng walked in, saw her staring at the wardrobe, and looked a bit embarrassed, "When mom left, she said she wanted to see if there were any clothes you didn’t wear, to take a couple for your sister to wear."

Upon hearing this, Li Shiping immediately thought of the clothes she had laid out on the bed. After circling around and finding none, before she could speak up, Wan Dongcheng added, "Are you looking for the clothes you brought home today? Mom took them to give to your sister."

Li Shiping felt wronged, "How could mom take my clothes without asking me?" Every time she bought new clothes, her mother-in-law would take them when she visited, and now she didn’t even have clothes suitable for going out.

"You weren’t home, she wanted to take them, and I thought you had plenty of clothes, so I let her have them." With the clothes already taken, Wan Dongcheng had no choice but to speak in favor of Pan Huiyun.

"Xiaoyue just paid for those yesterday."

"They’ve been taken now, we can just buy another one later, you didn’t make a fuss before when she took your clothes, did you?"

Listening to his nonchalant tone, Li Shiping felt uncomfortable. She had been considerate of her husband before and didn’t want to embarrass him by speaking out, nor did she want to make her mother-in-law feel awkward, but how had it become something taken for granted?

Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but say, "Mom always takes my clothes when I’m not around, and it’s not just once or twice. She’s taken all the better clothes, I don’t even have proper clothes to wear out now, Dongcheng, can you please talk to mom next time and tell her not to do this anymore?"

Aside from what she was wearing now, all her other clothes were bought before she was married. She was afraid her family would notice, so she always wore this particular item.

In fact, she knew that her father felt sorry for her, which was why he let her go buy clothes. But she hadn’t anticipated that right after she brought the clothes home, her mother-in-law would take them again, while her husband once more adopted that attitude as if it were only natural.
