Vicious Mother-in-Law VS Powerful Daughter-in-Law

"Alright, George. If you won't leave, I will go with Mia. Don't regret it!"

"No, Selena. I'm going with you. Let's go, we'll leave right now, immediately."

He became frantic, forcefully pushing Karen aside and striding towards me, reaching for the suitcase.

Karen still stood in the doorway and shouted.

"I said, Selena, you are not leaving today. You can leave tomorrow, but not today."

But I was adamant about leaving today. She was deliberately making things difficult for me. Why should I listen to her?

"Your daughter can come back. Your daughter can visit her parents. Why can't I? I am also a daughter. I have my parents too."

"How can you compare with my daughter? They are married so close by, just a ten-minute drive, no expense at all. But your home is so far. The round-trip train tickets for three people will cost thousands.

"You really don't know how to manage a household. Are you just trying to waste money on train fares?"

"Do you really need to spend thousands just to see your mother? Can't you see her on a phone call or video chat? Or is there some other motive for going back? Are you secretly taking my son's money back to your home?

"A married woman belongs to her husband's family. Do you understand?"

I became increasingly angry with every word she spoke.

This was outrageous.

"I am their daughter. What's wrong with me visiting them? You also have daughters. Why don't you tell them not to come back then? If they can avoid coming back, I can too."

"You are just a cheap wife from afar. How can you compare with my daughters? Don't you have a bit of self-awareness? If you could have married locally, why would you have come all this way to marry into our family?"

The more I listened, the angrier I got.

George couldn't bear to listen any longer and tugged at Karen. "Mom, what are you saying?"

"Am I wrong? That's the fact. I disagreed when you wanted to marry her. We have so many good girls here, innocent and beautiful. But you had to bring back such a cheap thing from afar.

"Can't you see? My friends are all laughing at me, saying my son picked up trash from outside."

I couldn't bear it any longer. "Who are you calling trash?"

She was unyielding. "You! You're the trash that couldn't get married in your area, so you came to harm my son, making me shameful in this village."

Damn it!

She actually said I couldn't get married. I was not ugly and could earn money. How could she say I couldn't match up to her son? Why did she have such sense of superiority?

Was it just because we didn't ask for anything when we got married?

So, she always called me a cheap thing.

People in the village also liked to call me that cheap wife from far away.

I regretted it so much. When I got married, my parents said that since I was marrying so far away, they would not ask for any gifts for the wedding, just hoping my husband's family would treat me better.

In fact, they were wrong, and so was I.

Instead of treating me better, they looked down on me.

They felt that I was so worthless that even my parents didn't ask for any gifts for their daughter.
