"But she is my mother-in-law, your brother-in-law's mom. What can I do about her? Should I tear faces and argue with her in public, causing a scene? Wouldn't that make us a laughingstock?"
Jiang Xin felt troubled.
She feared being laughed at by others the most.
"If you're afraid of being laughed at, then you and your daughter deserve to suffer. So why did you come back? If you think your reputation is more important than your daughter, then just stay with your mother-in-law with your child."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's words were harsher, each one like a knife stabbing Jiang Xin's heart.
That's right, she cared too much about face.
At home, as long as her mother-in-law and aunt stirred things up, she would immediately compromise, just out of fear of others' laughter and of being called unfilial.
In the eyes of outsiders, she seemed like a filial and kind daughter-in-law, but when it came down to it, the suffering and tears she endured were known only to her.
