After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 178 The Troubling Son

"Grandma Wang, could it be that your daughter-in-law is not good?" Lin Liuyi winked at Princess Mingyue, implying that it wasn't appropriate to speak ill of someone's daughter-in-law like that.

"No, it's not that. Xiaoxue is alright. She always buys us things for holidays and festivals. Recently, it's gotten cold, and she even bought new sweaters for my husband and me. It's just that every time we meet, she's always giving me the cold shoulder. You know what that means, sigh." Wang Yuemei was also conflicted. If her daughter-in-law were really bad, that would be one thing, but actually, her daughter-in-law was alright.

"So you're the one who's wrong?" Liu Mingyue retorted.

“How can I do this? I don’t bother them at all, and I don’t pressure them to have a baby. I even give them money. Whenever I cook something delicious at home, I think about them. I don’t know what to do anymore! I treat her like my own daughter. No, I don’t even care this much about my own daughter!” Wang Yuemei said, feeling wronged.

"I think this young lady has done a good job," said Old Lady Liu, offering a fair assessment.

"That's impossible. If that's the case, how could the two of them not get along?" Liu Mingyue felt that she got along well with her mother-in-law.

The two don't have any major conflicts. Occasionally, they disagree, but it's not a big deal if they try to see things from each other's perspective. It's just that her mother-in-law brings up pregnancy and childbirth intentionally or unintentionally, which bothers her a bit.

She's only been married a short time, isn't it normal that she hasn't gotten pregnant yet?

Just as everyone was puzzled, Lin Liuyi said, "Grandma Wang, could it be a problem with your son? Maybe he can't mediate the relationship between you two at home."

Wang Yuemei slapped her thigh: "Oh dear, that's possible. My son is very bad at talking. He usually just keeps his head down and works. I doubt he'll say anything when he gets home."

"You just said you asked your son to take something back with you today, right? Why don't you just call your daughter-in-law and hear how your son usually relays what you say?" Lin Liuyi suggested to her.

"Ah, Xiaoxue never calls me normally. What should I say if I call her?" Wang Yuemei hesitated.

"Just ask normally, go ahead and call!" everyone urged her.

Seeing so many people on her side, Wang Yuemei took a deep breath and dialed her daughter-in-law Xiaoxue's number.

The phone rang twice before someone answered: "Mom, what's up? Is there something you need?"

"Xiaoxue, I..." Before Grandma Wang could think of what to say, she heard her son return.

"Honey, my mom said she cooked. Eat it if you like, or throw it away if you don't. Also, my mom said you like expensive things, so she gave us a box of cherries. She said if you finish them, ask her for more." Wang Yuemei's son came in with the things, relaying his mother's words.

"Xiao Yanzhe, you little brat! Did I say that? I clearly said that if you find the food too spicy, you can eat a few bites if you want, and if you don't want any, just throw it away. And the cherries, I said Xiaoxue loves them, so I specially asked someone to bring them to you. I'll bring you more after you finish eating! When did I ever tell you to come and ask for them?! Are you stupid? So this is how you pass on messages all the time! You just wait!"

Wang Yuemei originally thought that her eldest son would obediently pass on the message, but what he said made her wonder why Xiaoxue had a problem with her!

If someone said to her, "Eat it if you want, don't eat it if you don't," she would get angry.

And what do you mean you like to eat expensive things? When has she ever complained like that, and even asked the other person to ask for them? Xiaoxue can't possibly think that she's treating her like a beggar, can she?

Wang Yuemei grew angrier the more she thought about it. She didn't care about the people in the group chat anymore; she just wanted to rush over and beat that stupid son up.

"Grandma Wang, I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to ask if your clothes hangers are only for hanging clothes? Don't they have some other uses?"

"Liu Yi, you're right. It was this brat who caused all this trouble. He's definitely going to get that clothes hanger!" Wang Yuemei stormed into her son's house, clothes hanger in hand, seething with anger.

"You little brat, open the door! I know you're home, so open the door now! If you're so capable of hiding inside, why don't you open the door yourself! Open the door!"

The door opened, and it was her daughter-in-law, Xiaoxue, who opened it.

"Mom, Xiao Yanzhe, he..."

"Xiaoxue, wait a minute, let's chat later. I need to deal with this brat first!" Wang Yuemei smiled and comforted her daughter-in-law, then turned around and started hitting her son with a clothes hanger.

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense, you little brat! Did I say that? I was saying that Xiaoxue and I didn't get along, and it turns out it's all your fault, you troublemaker! I'll teach you to talk nonsense, I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"

The eldest son was beaten and ran around the room, still stubbornly insisting, "Isn't that what you said? And Mom, I'm the troublemaker, what are you?"

"You, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget, you dare to argue and frame me!"

After all that commotion, Wang Yuemei was exhausted. "Come here, kneel down. Today you'd better tell us properly what you were trying to convey!"

"Xiaoxue, come here, let's sit down. I want to ask him what he usually says," Wang Yuemei said, pulling her daughter-in-law down to sit.

“Just yesterday, I told Xiaoxue that it was all frozen outside and to be careful when she went out. Come on, let me hear what you said.”

"I was saying..." Xiao Yanzhe reluctantly began to speak, but was interrupted by his wife.

"Xiao Yanzhe said you told me to be careful lately, and I think you're going to find someone to beat me up!" Xiaoxue said cheerfully.

"Fine, you brat, you're going to ruin your mother's reputation like this, huh? Let me tell you, you better watch out!" Wang Yuemei was so angry she was about to have a heart attack. She was just expressing concern, but her son's words turned into a threat.

"What else? Go on!"

"What did you say about that bouquet of flowers last time, Mom?" her daughter-in-law asked.

"I told you I'd send you a bouquet of flowers to add some color to your life, and what did you say, you little rascal?"

"He said, 'You're going to teach me a lesson!'" The daughter-in-law couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Good, good, she's threatened Xiaoxue more than once, hasn't she? Her son has really cemented her reputation as a wicked mother-in-law!

Wang Yumei was so angry she gritted her teeth. "Then what happened last time when he said he didn't want to come home for dinner?"

"When did I ever not want to come home for dinner? Xiao Yanzhe! Mom, what I'm saying is that every time we go back, you cook so many delicious meals for us. I was worried that you would be too tired, so I told Xiao Yanzhe that we could just make do at home. Who knew he would misinterpret it like this!" Xiaoxue couldn't help but glare angrily at her good husband.

Comparing the two women, it turns out there was nothing wrong between them; it was all her son/husband's fault for causing trouble. I don't know how this person spread the rumors.

"Xiao Yanzhe, you'll be kneeling today!" came the angry roar from his wife and mother.
