Chapter 2

Our house is right across from the school. It's a ten minute journey, and my daughter keeps crying with her head down.

Until I opened the door, a strong aroma of chili peppers rushed in.

My mother-in-law wore an apron and placed the last dish on the table, looking at us impatiently:

"Do you still know when you're back? What time is it?"

I frowned and looked at the table of spicy chicken boiled in water, fish with abundant hair and blood, as well as the sister-in-law buried in front of the table eating. A surge of anger surged in my heart:

"Mom, why are you making another table of spicy dishes? I've told you so many times that Lan Lan doesn't eat spicy food!"

My mother-in-law glared and raised her voice, shouting:

"I worked hard at home cooking for you, but I made a mistake? Your daughter is the only one at home who needs to eat, and no one else needs to eat. Everyone has to accommodate her, right?"

After speaking, she pointed to the oyster sauce lettuce at the edge of the dining table:

"Isn't this dish spicy? Can't we eat it?"

I'm almost laughing in anger. A table of eight dishes, only one dish is not spicy or vegetarian. How does this make people eat it?

Just as I was about to start cursing, my daughter pulled my hand:

"Mom's okay, I can also have some spicy food. Don't be angry."

After speaking, she obediently placed her slippers at my feet and sat at the dining table with her backpack on her back.

My mother-in-law sneered and looked at me with her head raised like a winning rooster:

"Your daughter says she can eat, why are you a mother with so many things to do? You're so pretentious."

After speaking, she turned her head back to the kitchen to serve her meal.

"Calm down, calm down. There are still two children at home who need to take the college entrance examination. Don't argue, don't argue."

I comforted myself in my heart and took a few deep breaths before entering the room.

Just as I sat down, my sister-in-law, who was burying her head in agony, cast a mocking glance at me:

"Sister in law, I heard from my classmate that Xia Lanlan fell asleep in class again. Her classmates also gave her a nickname, 'Sleeping Pig'."

My sister-in-law's name is Xia Ning, and she is one year older than her daughter.

I chose to retake the college entrance examination with my daughter because I failed last year.

Because my house is close to the school, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law moved into my house two weeks ago.

My husband is going on a business trip, but I am busy with work.

She can cook and clean at home, and take care of her daughter who is about to take the college entrance examination.

My sister-in-law and daughter both need to take the college entrance examination, and we can learn and improve together.

But I know, she just felt that my home was close to the school and she could let her precious daughter sleep a little more in the morning, so she just shamelessly moved in.

At first, I felt bad, but my husband did ideological work for me again and again to ensure that his mother and sister-in-law would not be evil. I nodded my head and agreed after my heart softened.

I didn't expect my mother-in-law to only see my sister-in-law, and my daughter is nothing in her heart.

Just because my sister-in-law loves spicy food, she has to cook a table of spicy dishes every day, completely disregarding her daughter's inability to eat spicy flavors.

My daughter is sensible and always chooses to endure.

As the college entrance examination approaches, I don't want to be affected by the chaotic situation in my hometown, so I can only endure it for a while.

But what Xia Ning said today really touched her daughter's self-esteem. She had just been scolded at school and was holding chopsticks, burying her head low.

Tears as big as beans fell into the rice, and I could hear my daughter's sobbing clearly.

I suddenly put down my chopsticks and looked coldly at my sister-in-law:

"No one will consider you mute if you don't speak."

"How do you speak?"

My mother-in-law came out of the kitchen carrying rice and rushed to me shouting:

"Did you do this as an elder? My sister-in-law wouldn't even let me say a word?"

"What's going on when this student doesn't sleep at home and runs to school to sleep? Who knows why he's sneaking around without sleeping at night?"

Xia Ning put down the dishes, hugged her chest with both hands, and said with a strange expression:

"I'm not wrong, Xia Lanlan is famous for sleeping at school every day. If she doesn't study, she will also affect others. Sleeping pigs! Sleeping pigs! Sleeping pigs!"

"You shut up for me!"

I suddenly stood up and shouted angrily.

But my sister-in-law's words were like the last straw that crushed the mule. My daughter threw the chopsticks in her hand and ran into the room, covering her face.

The mother-in-law sneered, and the disdain on the faces of the mother and daughter was the same:

"Xiaoran, I said you shouldn't spoil Lanlan too much. What's the use of studying well in the past? When it comes to critical moments, it falls off the chain. Unlike my family Ning Ning, who studies very seriously every day, today they even said they want to enroll in tutoring classes."

Speaking of which, my mother-in-law reached out her hand and naturally said to me:

"You bring me 20000 yuan, I need to enroll my daughter in a tutoring class."

Twenty thousand yuan? Why didn't she go grab it?

I am worried about my daughter in my heart and lazy to pay attention to my mother-in-law's robber behavior:

"Shouldn't your parents have paid for your daughter's tutoring? What's wrong with asking my sister-in-law to pay?"

"If you marry my son, your money is my family's money!"

Nervous, I can't eat this meal anymore.

I stood up and walked to my daughter's room, knocking on the door:

"Lan Lan, can you let Mom come in and have a few words with you?"

The door was opened with a small crack, revealing the tearful face of the daughter.

I was instantly heartbroken:

"Lan Lan, don't cry. Mom is here."

I pushed open the door and held my daughter in my arms.

The angry voices of my mother-in-law kept coming from outside:

"You're not paying, are you? Alright, don't regret it when my family Xia Ning gets admitted to Tsinghua University. Don't blush when the time comes."

Tsinghua University?

With Xia Ning's ability to fill in the blank nine out of ten, roasted sweet potatoes may not necessarily rank high. Do you still want to take the Tsinghua exam? It's just a dream.

"Mom, I don't want to sleep either. I really can't help it, I'm very tired."

My daughter leaned against my arms and cried, saying:

"I really didn't lie, I didn't fall asleep on purpose, I didn't have a proper attitude towards learning. I don't want to be a sleeping pig, I'm not a pig."

My daughter's words hurt me like a knife.

Being given such a humiliating nickname, I can't imagine what kind of strange looks my daughter faces at school every day.

I gently patted her back:

"Mom knows you didn't mean it, Lan Lan, don't be afraid. Mom will take half a day off tomorrow morning to take you to the hospital for a check-up."

As I was speaking, I heard a faint breath coming from my arms.

Upon closer inspection, the daughter has already fallen asleep.

I am a bit worried. My daughter's sleepiness is not right. What if she falls asleep in the college entrance examination room.

I placed my daughter on the bed, took out the computer lightly and started working, sitting by her bedside watching her.

At eleven o'clock, my mother-in-law suddenly opened the door and came in.

Seeing me also in my daughter's room, she was startled:

"You, why are you here?"

I looked at her with confusion:

"Where else can I be without me here?"

My mother-in-law touched her nose and placed the milk in her hand in front of the table:

"I didn't see Lan Lan going to bed, so I heated her up with a glass of milk and drank some sleeping incense."

My daughter has had a habit of drinking milk before going to bed since she was young. Since my mother-in-law arrived, she has diligently taken over the task of hot milk.

I turned my head and said coldly:

"No need, Lan Lan is already asleep."

The mother-in-law frowned and looked at her daughter in bed, muttering:

"I'll have to drink milk before going to bed. I'll wake her up."

"What are you doing?"

I reached out and grabbed my mother-in-law:

"Why do you have to wake up the child when she's already asleep?"

My mother-in-law looked at me and then lowered her head to look at the milk in her hand:

"Isn't this milk wasted?"

My eyes in my heart are almost turning to the sky.

Making eight dishes for my sister-in-law is not a waste, spending 20000 yuan on tutoring is not a waste, and my daughter is wasting one less glass of milk?

I was too lazy to argue with her and reached out to take the milk.

In the shocked gaze of my mother-in-law, I drank it all in one gulp:

"I won't waste it after drinking, will I?"

"You, you, you..."

My mother-in-law pointed at me for a long time, unable to speak, and finally walked out of the room with an ugly expression on her face.

I looked at her angry back a bit strange, just because I drank a glass of milk. As for being so angry?

However, the taste of milk today is indeed a bit strange, with a hint of wall ash.

Maybe I was tired after running all day, and I didn't even want to go back to my room. I just lay down next to my daughter and fell asleep.
