Protagonist:
Li Xiulan
Du Xiaojuan was such a person; she could be gentle, but she could also be ruthless.
Whoever treated her well, she treated well.
Whoever treated her badly, she treated badly.
Even her biological parents would be treated this way.
She would not simply endure because of blood ties.
Nor would she burden herself with things she shouldn't carry because of traditional moral views of blind loyalty and filial piety.
Since those vampire parents had come knocking this time, Du Xiaojuan would no longer avoid them; it was time for a final severance.
In the blink of an eye, it was past five in the afternoon.
Du Xiaojuan got off work early, personally went into the kitchen, and cooked a table full of good dishes.
Seeing this, Wang Dashan felt somewhat reluctant:
"They've treated you like this, why go to such trouble? Just make a few dishes to get by."
Du Xiaojuan said instead:
"This last dinner naturally should be more lavish."
Wang Dashan sighed, not knowing what to say.
After a moment of silence, he spoke:
"Xiao Juan, whatever you do, I support you."
Soon, Wang Erhai drove Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi, as well as Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan, to the villa side.
Du Xiaojuan brought Wang Dashan to the villa gate to welcome them.
While welcoming them, Du Xiaojuan had a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Dashan, on the other hand, had a heavy expression; he was very worried that Du Xiaojuan would once again be harmed by her original family during this last dinner.
"When we eat later, don't say anything; I'll speak for some things."
Du Xiaojuan reminded Wang Dashan in a low voice.
Wang Dashan grunted in response.
"Mom and Dad, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, you're all here; come in quickly to eat, I personally cooked a big table of good dishes for you!"
Du Xiaojuan said to the elders with a smile.
Wang Erhai hurriedly smiled and praised:
"Eldest Sister-in-law, you're truly impressive; you can handle the hall, the kitchen, and be a boss's wife!"
Du Xiaojuan smiled and responded:
"Second Brother, don't praise me; you're making me a bit embarrassed."
Li Xiulan also smiled and praised:
"Xiao Juan, what Erhai said is true; you are my good daughter-in-law, both sensible and virtuous!"
Even Wang Zhanggen admitted Du Xiaojuan's goodness:
"You're good in every way, practically flawless, but you should hurry up and have a baby!"
Du Xiaojuan hurriedly responded:
"Father-in-law, rest assured, Dashan and I have already started preparing for pregnancy, but this isn't something that can be achieved in a day or two, right?"
Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi looked at this big villa, but their faces had long turned black.
"Weren't you said to owe a mountain of debt?"
Du Guoqing asked coldly.
Facing her father's sharp question, Du Xiaojuan didn't feel guilty at all; instead, she responded righteously:
"That's right, we owe a mountain of debt; Dashan and I took out a loan to buy the house, and now we owe the bank over ten million yuan."
"Over ten million yuan! My goodness!"
Lin Xiudi couldn't help but exclaim.
Du Guoqing said instead:
"Who are you fooling? Even if you wanted to borrow that much money, the bank wouldn't lend it to you; take a look at yourself in the mirror and see what you're worth."
"Yes, yes, you're right." Du Xiaojuan didn't refute him, not caring at all; she changed the subject and said: "Let's all go inside; the dishes are getting cold."
Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan nodded quickly, and Wang Erhai followed them inside.
Du Guoqing stood still in place:
"Your brother owes others money; shouldn't you help him out?"
Du Xiaojuan readily said:
"Rest assured, I'll help him pay it back. Don't stand here talking; go in and eat while we chat. It's rare that everyone is here today; everyone should be happy."
Du Guoqing was left speechless for a moment by Du Xiaojuan's attitude.
He had already prepared himself to scold Du Xiaojuan soundly, because he felt Du Xiaojuan definitely wouldn't agree to help her brother.
Unexpectedly, she agreed so readily now and would help her brother pay back the money.
No one knew what she was thinking in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, you must keep your word."
Lin Xiudi said something like this at this time.
She was just afraid Du Xiaojuan would not keep her word.
Du Xiaojuan smiled and said:
"Rest assured, I will definitely keep my word. So many people are watching as witnesses, and besides, it's just that small amount of money my brother owes; I can still afford to pay it back."
Du Xiaojuan's attitude suddenly changed by a hundred and eighty degrees, which Wang Dashan also did not quite expect.
He had originally thought that after Du Xiaojuan met her parents, there would be a fierce battle of smoke and fire, but he never expected the scene now to be so harmonious, even somewhat harmonious and joyful.
It can only be said that Du Xiaojuan was really too good at controlling her emotions.
She could not only control her emotions, but also had very strong crowd-control ability.
She was doing this now for only one purpose: she could not make things too ugly in front of Wang Dashan's family; she had to take care of Wang Dashan's face.
Wang Dashan was someone who cared quite a bit about face, and as Wang Dashan's wife, she had long known his root and bottom.
Du Xiaojuan thought in her heart: after finishing this meal, once Wang Erhai took Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan home, she would then deal with Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi.
It was precisely because of Du Xiaojuan's strong crowd-control ability that this dinner, from beginning to end, actually did not have anything discordant happen.
In the blink of an eye the meal was finished, and Du Xiaojuan said to Wang Erhai:
"Second brother, it's not early anymore, and you have to go to work tomorrow. Why not take Grandpa and Grandma home now?"
Wang Erhai glanced at Wang Dashan.
Wang Dashan nodded slightly.
Wang Erhai then said:
【78 "Fine then, we'll head back first. It's just, Uncle and Auntie they..."
"Fine then, we'll Go Back first. It's just, Uncle and Auntie and the others..."
"They'll stay here tonight, and I'll take them back to their hometown tomorrow," Du Xiaojuan replied.
"Fine then, we're leaving!"
Wang Erhai nodded in agreement, then said to Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan:
"Dad, Mom, let's go back."
Wang Zhanggen and Li Xiulan said nothing; they also felt it was time to go back. After all, the construction site had to start work tomorrow, Li Xiulan had to get up early to make breakfast for the workers, and Wang Zhanggen needed to go to the construction site to supervise.
Du Xiaojuan said to Wang Dashan:
"Husband, you go see them off."
Wang Dashan understood, stood up, and they went out together.
In the blink of an eye, only Du Xiaojuan and her parents Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi remained in the huge villa hall.
"Du Jianmei, you really know how to deceive people. You said the bride price was borrowed by your husband through online loans, you said you worked in a factory with a monthly salary of three thousand, but you actually hid from us and bought such a big villa. Do you still have us parents in your eyes!"
As soon as the others left, Du Guoqing started making trouble.
Gritting his teeth, he asked fiercely and viciously.
When others saw their own daughter living so well, they would sincerely feel happy.
But Du Guoqing and Lin Xiudi were different. Seeing their own daughter living so well, they were instead very angry, very uncomfortable, and even felt their whole body was ill at ease.
Their logic was also very simple: their son was muddling along like a pile of rotten mud, so why could their daughter muddle along so well?
Was the daughter depriving the son of his Qi Luck? Was the daughter restraining the son's Wealth?
This was a typical rural psychology of disliking the poor and fearing the rich.
But this kind of psychology was common between neighbors; it was truly rare to find it within a family.
"Look at what you're saying. Isn't this obvious?" Facing Du Guoqing's aggressive questioning, Du Xiaojuan had a face of utter indifference, even seeming rather light-hearted and relaxed, and she spoke very bluntly:
"I definitely don't have you parents in my eyes. After all, you never had me, this daughter, in your eyes either."
Previously, always hiding from her parents, she had not small pressure in her heart.
Now facing them directly, Du Xiaojuan instead became calm and composed.
