First Watch.

"You’re obviously not the kind of person to take crap from anyone, but having been sisters-in-law with Li Xinwei for so many years, no one understands her despicableness and shalessness better than I do..." Jiang Xinwan gave a bitter smile, looking at Lin Yanqiu, "You know the outside world’s evaluation, don’t you? They all say she’s magnanimous and say I don’t understand the bigger picture."
Indeed, if she hadn’t known Jiang Xinwan for so long and understood her character, she might have been misled by public opinion. But this was exactly what Lin Yanqiu couldn’t stand about Jiang Xinwan — why let such a person manipulate her like that?
Thinking this, Lin Yanqiu just spoke her mind directly.
Jiang Xinwan’s smile beca even more bitter: "You’re really speaking from a comfortable position. Do you think I’m the kind of person who likes to be wronged? Why can’t I clarify things no matter what?
Let put it this way, if not because you’re Chuxia’s mother-in-law, wouldn’t you think she’s a particularly straightforward person and easy to talk to based on your previous interactions with her?"
Thinking back carefully, Lin Yanqiu nodded. Indeed, before Chuxia married into their family, she actually had a good impression of Li Xinwei. And since Jiang Xinwan never spoke ill of others, she couldn’t see Li Xinwei’s true nature.
"When I’m with her, if there are outsiders, she acts very enthusiastic and always says, although we’re not of the sa surna, we have the sa middle character in our nas, that’s fate, so after I married into the Lin Family, she acted very close to .
If you were in my position, could you say that to Liu Lingi?" Jiang Xinwan spread her hands, "So people just have the skill — as long as there’s sothing to gain, she changes completely. One mont she’s glaring at , the next mont she smiles sweetly at . I’m just not good at pretending, and over ti, hasn’t it beco that she’s generous and I’m petty?"
"If it were , I definitely couldn’t smile and say how great my relationship is with Liu Lingi, but I would certainly expose the other party. I wouldn’t let her consistently step on my shoulder and slander ..." Lin Yanqiu sighed, looking earnestly at her, "In the end, it’s your personality that’s the issue. Knowing she’s that kind of person, why do you let her act? Yes, you have your principles, never speaking ill of others, but with soone like her, your principles only beco a knife that others use to stab at you."
Old Madam Zhou chid in: "Yanqiu is right, Xinwan, your nature is too gentle. Chuxia isn’t an outsider. So, as the old lady, I won’t hold back. Back then, you didn’t fancy Lin Zhidong, but since you chose to marry him, you should have focused on having a good life with him.
Initially, you ignored Lin Family’s matters and were cold to Lin Family’s people, didn’t that leave a bad impression? Later, although you changed a bit, unfortunately, you had such a theatrically skilled sister-in-law who really crushed you down.
As an outsider, I may not know the details, but you should be well aware of them. Even if not for yourself, for your husband, your children, and the harmony of the whole family, shouldn’t you take so corresponding counterasures?
But what I see and hear is your avoidance, avoiding those you can’t handle, a way of doing things that’s least appreciated in our circle.
Even if so know what goes on between you, due to your indifference, the balance in their heart starts to tilt, and over ti, it feels normal.
Why did they act like this this ti? I, as the old lady, can understand a thing or two. Didn’t they just have improper thoughts because Xiaomi hasn’t been ho and there’s been no news for several months?
They were judging the Zhou family with their intentions, but let tell you, my grandson has always been blessed. Even if sothing really happened, our Zhou family will always protect our granddaughter-in-law. Whoever dares to bully her better be prepared to step over my old body first!"
"Mom, listen to what you’re saying..." Lin Yanqiu stared at her mother-in-law, whose expression was sowhat agitated, with a black line across her forehead. Indeed, her mother-in-law’s temperant was as fiery as ever. She hadn’t spoken for a while, and Lin Yanqiu thought the old lady had really llowed. Turns out, she was just holding it in...
"Grandma..." Chuxia was also at a loss for words as she looked at the old lady, not knowing what to say. Usually, people of this generation are superstitious and avoid speaking of such inauspicious things, so why isn’t our old lady afraid of anything?"
