Chapter 1887: Now Are You Satisfied?

An Jinwei’s father saw the chaotic family atmosphere and was very upset. He was dissatisfied with his wife and Ning Shu. “If you still want to fight, get out of here.”

“What are you yelling at me? My son is gone and you won’t even let me say a few words?” An Jinwei’s mother threw the kitchen knife to the ground with a clatter. She ran out of the room while covering her face and crying.

An Jinwei’s father looked gloomier. He looked at Ning Shu, who was holding the child. His voice was low and resentful. “Now are you satisfied? Do you have to make this house so depressing in order to be happy?”

“Why would I be happy or unhappy? I’m in my confinement and am hungry. I just want to eat something,” Ning Shu said nonchalantly. “Mother-in-law was the one holding a kitchen knife wanting to die with me.”

“I just can’t cook by myself right now. Why does she act like this when I just wanted something to eat? Why can’t she bear even this kind of grievance for the sake of family? Why make trouble like this?” Ning Shu shook her head and went into the bedroom helplessly. She didn’t even look at her father-in-law’s face.

Ning Shu returned to her room and closed the door. She breastfed the child and then sat cross-legged on the bed to cultivate.

Now that her wounds were almost healed, the spiritual energy she cultivated was used to strengthen her body or to give to the child.

The child hadn’t been sick since she was discharged from the hospital and this saved Ning Shu a lot of effort.

While cultivating, she vaguely heard the sounds of a quarrel in the opposite room. It was obvious that An Jinwei’s parents were arguing.

She vaguely heard the sharp voice of An Jinwei’s mother.

“I’ve worked like a cow and a horse for this family…”

“Now I even have to take care of my daughter-in-law…”

“Damned old man, how can you abuse me like this…”

Ning Shu sneered. You’ve been a cow and a horse for the An family and now you think it’s Chen Ning’s turn to be a cow and a horse. It seems that the An family has always had this mindset.

An Jinwei’s mother was the oppressed that became the oppressor.

Ning Shu closed her eyes and continued to cultivate, eliminating the noise from the outside world. She didn’t know how long she had practiced, but Ning Shu was interrupted by the sound of something breaking.

It was also mixed with An Jinwei’s father yelling, “Just look at yourself now.”

“Why should I serve her, the daughter-in-law? Is it not enough to just serve you father and son? I still have to serve that woman?” An Jinwei’s mother yelled. “I gave birth to Jinwei as my first child, and I gave birth to a boy, too. I never acted that unreasonable, but now I have to serve her? I’m a mother-in-law, a mother-in-law!”

Ning Shu opened the door and saw An Jinwei’s father come out. There were scratches on his face, apparently made by his wife.

An Jinwei’s father glanced at Ning Shu and directly left.

Ning Shu glanced at the opposite bedroom and saw An Jinwei’s mother sitting on the bed crying.

Ning Shu found this rather dumb. It was already the modern era, yet the An family still acted like a feudal family.

An Jinwei’s mother suffered when she was young. Now that she had a daughter-in-law, she felt that the daughter-in-law should do everything, and that the daughter-in-law should take care of the family.

She could now enjoy herself and could find a sense of superiority in using her daughter-in-law.

Ning Shu closed the door and continued to cultivate. She was just going to do whatever she wanted. This family could rot. It didn’t matter to her.

Stability and peace relied on human sacrifices, on unofficial unspoken rules. Once someone was unhappy and broke these rules, it was impossible to maintain that peace and stability.

An Jinwei’s father went out and didn’t come back even after it got dark. Originally, An Jinwei’s mother was quite angry, but when she kept waiting and no one came back, she panicked and called everywhere trying to find him.
