Chapter 562: Chapter 562: Mom, Everything is Fine

Wang Xiaoni was taciturn, but that did not mean she was someone to be taken advantage of.

"I don’t care what others say, I just want mom to be alright. You all know better than anyone how mom has treated us since we were young!"

"During the famine years, even if mom had to eat tree bark, she would save the food for us. No matter how hard it was at home, it was always her and dad who bore the brunt, what hardships have we ever faced? Yet now, in her old age, she still has to endure harassment from the daughter-in-law. Have you all lived your lives in vain?"

Wang Hai and Wang Hong showed embarrassed expressions, but their wives just smirked, unconvinced.

Wang Ya, the second brother’s daughter, even laughed, "Aunt, what are you saying? A little argument at home and you make it sound so serious, isn’t frictions in daily life normal?"

Li Banlian chimed in, "Exactly! Mom, tell us, has Haizi mistreated you?"

Wang Xiaoni’s mom hesitated, "No... No, he hasn’t."

Wang Xiaoni was so angry she was at a loss for words. They were so aggressive; how could her mother tell the truth if she ever wanted to live with her son.

She still had to find ways to cover for them.

Seeing Wang Xiaoni about to cry, her mom quickly comforted, "I’m really fine, Xiaoni, don’t be upset."

Wang Xiaoni could no longer hold back, turning to stare at Li Banlian.

"Then tell me, why is the gold bracelet that my mother-in-law gave to mom on your wrist?"

Li Banlian hadn’t expected the truth to come out today; no wonder Wang Xiaoni had suddenly shown up.

It must have been that wretched girl Yue Xingxing who snitched.

Seeing the mother-in-law acting like this, she had grown bolder.

"Mom gave it to me. The things your family gave to mom, isn’t she allowed to give them to someone else?"

Wang Xiaoni looked at her mother, wanting an answer.

The old lady sighed, "I gave it."

Wang Xiaoni took a deep breath, "And the gold earrings on the second sister-in-law’s ears, did you give those as well?"

She had just noticed that Liu Ping’s earrings looked familiar too.

It seemed that only when she came home were these things on her mom, usually, they benefited her two sister-in-laws.

Liu Ping reflexively covered her ears with her hands and turned her eyes around without speaking.

"It was me, I gave them all," Wang Xiaoni’s mother said with tears streaming, "Xiaoni, please don’t ask anymore, okay?"

Wang Xiaoni was pushing her mom; she wanted her mom to come with her.

But Wang Xiaoni’s mother didn’t see it that way.

In the village, there was never a family where a son was still there, and the mother would go live with a daughter. Even those with only daughters wouldn’t do such a thing to avoid offending others.

Unless they were marrying off a son-in-law.

She didn’t want to trouble her daughter. If she moved into the Yue Family, what would Wang Xiaoni’s mother-in-law think?

Living in such a big house as a senior, would Chunju mind if she found out? Would that cause her to start disliking Xiaoni as well? And how would Jianxi respond?

She’d rather endure some hardship herself rather than make Xiaoni’s life difficult.

After all, what was listening to a few harsh words in comparison?

At her age, she could endure this much hardship.

Wang Xiaoni could roughly guess her mother’s thoughts, yet the more she understood, the more it hurt.

Her mother always wished the best for her and her brothers, as she always had.

But how could her brothers watch their mom be treated so poorly?

Seeing the mother-in-law dared not make a peep, Li Banlian grew even more brazen.

"Xiaoni, it’s not for me to say, but a daughter who’s married off should not meddle in her parental home’s affairs. People would talk, even saying Yue Jianxi hasn’t managed you well."

Wang Xiaoni’s mother looked strained, finally unable to hold back.

"Enough, stop talking."

Li Banlian huffed loudly, momentarily silent, preparing to deal with the mother-in-law once Wang Xiaoni had left.

The old lady looked pleadingly, "Xiaoni, you go back first, mom’s doing just fine."
