I didn't expect that one sentence would ignite all of her anger. After she put on a teapot pose, she started to taunt me endlessly. She almost grabbed the soy milk in front of my table and splashed it on my face.
She snorted in disdain, "I really don't understand how your parents raised their daughter. Apart from having a body full of problems, you have nothing to pick on. You don't have a princess life, but you have a princess disease. You made it sound like the whole world is pointing knives and guns at you."
I felt uncomfortable listening to all kinds of heart-wrenching words. As an elder, I naturally couldn't be too rude. When Ling Feng walked into the kitchen, he heard her scolding me, but he just glanced at me faintly and waved his hand, "Forget it, mom. After tomorrow, I'll ask Moxin to wake up early to make breakfast."
The mother-in-law rolled her eyes impatiently. She grabbed the fried dough stick on the table and took a bite, "How would I dare to ask him to wake up early to make breakfast? Marrying a wife is like marrying an ancestor."
Ling Feng patted his mother-in-law's shoulder and comforted her silently.
I sat across from the two of them. The sweet soy milk in my mouth suddenly turned sour, and I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.
Ling Feng had been different recently. Ever since that night, he distanced himself from me a lot. His clear mind was a little unstable.
When I had just married into the Ling family, my mother-in-law had made things difficult for me, but he could always help me solve the crisis with a few words. But today, not only did he not restrain himself, but he also seemed to be on my mother-in-law's side.
The breakfast tasted like chewing wax.
When Ling Feng returned to his room to change, I followed him in with overwhelming emotions. I lifted the pillow on the bed and pointed at the red lipstick mark on it. "This was left by Lin Keke after he spent the night at our house. There's a strange perfume smell on it. Ling Feng, I don't need to think too much about what happened that night, do I?"
Ling Feng covered his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Why are you throwing a tantrum now?"
After putting his hand down, his face was full of fatigue. "What could happen between me and Keke?
I've always treated her like a younger sister since we were young. It's not like you don't know how Keke feels about me. Her actions are nothing more than an attempt to drive a wedge between us. Why do you have to fight with a little girl who hasn't even stopped breastfeeding? "
"Also, you know that my mother is a person of the older generation. She brought me up alone and lived a hard life. Even when I eat meat, I have to think twice about my wallet. It's actually meaningless for her to scold you today."
"I don't mind you venting all your unhappiness on me, but Moxin, I'm under a lot of pressure too. Can you not act like it's the end of the world for such a small matter?"
His attitude was tough, and he said a lot of things. Every word was filled with impatience. I couldn't refute him, and I had nowhere to vent my anger. Moreover, what had happened that night had stirred up my heart. My mind was on the verge of collapse.
Look!
The most disgusting side of marriage had gradually emerged.
"Forget it!"
I was thoroughly disappointed in him. Endless exhaustion drowned me. "Ling Feng, the seven year itch hasn't even arrived, yet our lives have already changed and become estranged. Neither of us is willing to live a heart-wrenching life. Let's separate while we still have no children to tie us down!"
"Let's not talk about how your attitude has changed recently. I didn't marry into your family to be ordered around by your Ling family."
Hearing that, Ling Feng instantly panicked. It seemed that he hadn't expected me to talk about divorce so calmly.
As I spoke, the scenes of him treating me gently in the past appeared in my mind. It was a stark contrast to the current situation. The disappointment in my heart piled up, and the grievances swept over me like a beehive.
