She said she wanted to return to her maiden home merely as a way to allow her mother-in-law to give her a graceful exit, not because she actually desired to go back to those hard days where she could barely afford a meal.
But the words had come from her own mouth. Going back on it now would surely cause her to lose face!
So, pretending to ignore the situation, she continued to wipe her tears, hoping to keep this up until her mother-in-law left to do chores.
But Ma Xiulian clearly knew what she was up to. She decisively declared, "Second daughter-in-law, pack up a few clothes for her so she can go back to her maiden home for a while."
Zhou Zhaodi instantly agreed, exclaiming, "Alright!"
Li Chunhua's face turned pale in an instant. If she returned to her maiden home with her clothes, everyone there would know she was driven out by her mother-in-law's family.
As if they would treat her politely! What a joke!
