Rebirth of a Farming Wife Chapter 67 – Extremely Ferocious

Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Extremely Ferocious

Mrs. Yang felt particularly apprehensive. The deed she had committed that day was indeed unwarranted, and even if the in-laws were not visiting because of that matter, she still felt somewhat embarrassed to face them. However, although that was the case, she absolutely couldn’t neglect them since they had arrived. Mrs. Yang intended to personally greet them at the door, but Su Wenyue persuaded her not to.

“Mother, you still have a wound on your head, so it’s best to just lie in bed and rest. I’ll have my mother come to see you instead. Otherwise, if you disturb the wound, both I and my father and mother would feel uneasy.” Su Wenyue, too, noticed the anxiety on Mrs. Yang’s face and couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.

Mrs. Yang felt a sigh of relief at Su Wenyue’s words but also felt a bit of remorse: “Then, then I won’t go out. Fourth Daughter-in-law, please hurry and welcome the in-laws for me, apologize to them on my behalf, and ask Fourth child to take good care of them. It’s not often they visit, and look at me, unable to entertain them properly with my injury.”

“Mother, don’t worry. My father and mother must have heard about what happened in our family and came over because they were worried about your injury. Knowing you’re okay is good enough; we’ll always have opportunities in the future to entertain each other. We are in-laws after all, one family no need for such formalities. I’m going to head out first.”

Although it was just a family visit, the status of the Su Family was still evident in the treatment they received at the Han Family. To show earnest respect, Old Man Han personally led a few of his sons to the gate to welcome them, and with all due civility, escorted the guests into the main hall. The sister-in-laws busied themselves, some pouring tea, others serving fruit plates, all very enthusiastic! Only Han Lin and his wife shrank in their own room, not daring to come out for fear that Mr. and Mrs. Su might trouble them, especially after the incident involving Mrs. Wang’s elder brother from her mother’s family; another ordeal awaited them.

Indeed, Mr. and Mrs. Su were somewhat worried about the situation at the Han Family. The person who had come to notify them yesterday was unclear, and moreover, their daughter and son-in-law had gone directly back to the Han Family without stopping by the Su Family, leaving them uneasy. That’s why they came early in the morning to check in, and incidentally visit the mother-in-law, also to save face for their daughter. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied because of the previous incident, Mrs. Yang was after all Han Yu’s birth mother. Seeing that Han Yu had behaved well and Mrs. Yang had been injured, they decided to set aside the matter for the time being.

“Daughter, you went straight back to the Han Family yesterday and didn’t send anyone over to explain the situation. Both your father and I were worried, so we came over early in the morning. How is your mother-in-law now? Is her injury serious? Your mother has brought quite a lot of tonics, all for your mother-in-law.”

Su Wenyue glanced back and indeed saw that the family servants were carrying quite a lot of things, probably all tonics brought for Mrs. Yang.

“Mother, really now, why are you bringing so many tonics? A token gesture would have sufficed. Besides, don’t you have a grievance with my mother-in-law? Why the sudden generosity?” Su Wenyue whispered this into An Family’s ear. Between mother and daughter, there were no need for such roundabout talks, so Su Wenyue spoke quite directly.

An Family tapped Su Wenyue on the forehead: “Silly daughter, what do you know? I intentionally brought extra tonics to show your mother-in-law just how generous and magnanimous we are; that we’re not even holding a grudge over the past affair. Let her be embarrassed; let’s see if she dares to make things difficult for you afterwards!”

“Mother, don’t worry, my mother-in-law is okay; she just lost a bit more blood. She just needs to replenish and rest. But mother, you are really too good to me!” Su Wenyue showed her most spoiled daughter demeanor only in front of An Family.

An Family was pleased with Su Wenyue’s coquettish behavior and the smile that she had been forcing on her face became much more genuine: “Of course, who else but my daughter, and such a silly one at that. If I don’t plan for you, you’ll be bullied to death!”

The group entered the Han Family home, where Mr. Su followed Old Man Han into the hall for a chat, while Su Wenyue led An Family to see Mrs. Yang. The two mothers-in-law exchanged pleasantries for a while before Su Wenyue took An Family to her own room to show her mother where she lived now.

“Mother, look, this is the room Han Yu and I live in. Though it’s a bit rundown, I’ve tidied it up nicely, haven’t I?” Su Wenyue proudly showed off her handiwork to An Family.

An Family looked around and felt a pang of sadness. What kind of place was this for living? So rundown that even the servants’ quarters in their home were better. Her precious daughter must be suffering terribly, all because her child’s father had been so heartless to insist on marrying her into this family. She couldn’t understand how he did not pity their daughter—no matter how good Han Yu was, he wasn’t worth letting their daughter endure such hardships.

“Mother, what’s wrong? Why are your eyes red all of a sudden? If father sees this, he might think I’ve been disobedient and made you cry, and he’ll certainly give me a good scolding! ” Su Wenyue knew her mother felt sorry for her and said it half-jokingly. In normal times, her father doted on her even more than her mother did, never willing to scold her—except for insisting she marry Han Yu. He always pampered her. An Family clearly noticed the catch in the statement, but she played along with her daughter’s words.

“He dares! If it wasn’t for your stubborn and unyielding father, how could you have married into the Han Family and be living like this? I haven’t yet settled things with him; let’s see if he dares to scold you!”

An Family’s demeanor indicated she was ready to fight Mr. Su, truly fierce in her protective stance, and Su Wenyue found it to be the most endearing gesture in the world. She never felt such warmth before, convinced that nothing was greater than a mother’s love. How could she have been so bewitched in her previous life to abandon her own son? He was such a good and obedient boy; she must be the most heartless mother in the world.

Thinking of her son from her previous life, Su Wenyue’s mood instantly plummeted, but she maintained a sweet smile on her face to prevent An Family from worrying.

“I know with you here, Dad certainly wouldn’t dare to scold me. Hehe, Mother, don’t be sad anymore. Look, I’m living quite well right now, am I not? Though life is a bit frugal, we’re not lacking in food or clothing, and Han Yu is good to me, always considering my needs. One can’t have everything perfect in life, and to have what we do right now, I’m truly contented. Besides, Han Yu is a promising man; our days ahead will only get better. You should trust your daughter and son-in-law, and not blame Dad anymore.

“Alright already, I won’t blame him if you insist. You’re content with your situation—there’s no reason for me, the mother, to keep fretting about it, or I’ll be accused of meddling. However, if Han Yu dares to treat you even slightly wrongly, I won’t let him off easily. Otherwise, how can I make up for all the hardships my precious daughter has endured?”

After seeing off An Family, Mrs. Yang’s tightly wound nerves finally relaxed.. She exhaled deeply, goodness, how different the speech and demeanor of wealthy ladies were…
