Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 594: Chapter 594: Raising an Ungrateful Son

Speaking of which, Big Uncle Kang and Third Uncle Kang’s families lived relatively close to each other, with just three households separating them, while Captain Kang’s house was slightly further away from the living quarters of his two brothers. However, far is relative when everyone lives in the same village. How far can it really be?!

”Kang Li, come over to your aunt’s house when you have time!”

Mrs. Xu stood at the entrance of her own courtyard. Upon seeing Kang Li and her party passing by, Mrs. Xu’s eyes whirled, and she hurriedly shouted to Kang Li.

Upon hearing this, Kang Li, out of politeness, shifted her gaze toward the other party and smiled in response, ”Sure.” This was purely a casual reply since Kang Li and Xu Chunxia were no longer friends, and the Xu family’s preference for sons over daughters completely turned Kang Li off.

For this reason, Kang Li naturally would not visit the Xu family’s house.

”Eat, eat, eat! All you lot know how to do is eat! Look at Kang Li, and then look at yourselves. Besides eating, what else are you good for?”

After Kang Li and her group had walked away, Mrs. Xu turned around and walked into the courtyard. The instant she stepped into the main room, she couldn’t help but lash out at her children.

Well, to be precise, she was ranting and raving at her daughters Xu Chunxia, Xu Chunmei, and Xu Chunxiang.

”Mom, can you keep it down? You’ve frightened your grandson.”

Encountering his wife’s glaring eyes and seeing his son, held in his wife’s arms, start crying out loud from his own mother’s shouting, Xu Chunlai couldn’t help but feel irritated at Mrs. Xu.

His tone was obviously not very pleasant.

”It’s my fault, my fault. I shouldn’t have spoken so loudly,” Mrs. Xu said, her face breaking into a smile as if she had changed her tune. She then walked up to her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Xinger, and reached out, ”Come here, my good little one. Let grandma hold you.”

To her surprise, Wang Xinger got up without so much as a glance at Mrs. Xu, and carried her son straight back to the room she shared with Xu Chunlai.

After being snubbed by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Xu’s hands hovered in mid-air, and her expression kept changing.

”Do you even regard me as your mother, my eldest?”

Burning with anger from her daughter-in-law’s attitude, Mrs. Xu didn’t hold back and fired at her eldest son, ”I gave birth to you, raised you, and you just stand there watching your wife make faces at your own mother? Tell me, do you have any conscience?”

Xu Chunlai frowned impatiently, ”Mom, if you’re upset outside, don’t take it out on the family, okay? If you hadn’t startled my son just now, would my wife have given you a cold shoulder?”

This was her biological son, the son she had doted on from childhood... Mrs. Xu stared at Xu Chunlai, her face growing uglier. She didn’t know what bad luck she had encountered—within just a short time, first snubbed by her daughter-in-law, then impatiently talked back to by her own son. Could someone tell her, where is justice?

Gasping for air in anger, Mrs. Xu pointed at her son, ”Xu Chunlai, are you trying to be an ingrate?”

”One moment you say I’m heartless, the next you accuse me of being an ingrate. Mom, can you talk sense?”

Xu Chunlai slammed his empty rice bowl on the table in front of him, stood up and said, ”For the past two years, every time Kang Li sends things back home, you flare up at the slightest news of it.

This time, not only did Kang Li bring a lot of things back for her family, but she also arrived at their doorstep in a car with her husband. Without thinking too hard, I know you’re even more upset inside.

But what’s the point of being upset? Who’s fault is it that the children you bore aren’t as good-looking as Kang Li, or as capable as Kang Li, or married to a capable man?”

With irritation, Xu Chunlai glared disdainfully at Xu Chunxia:
