Li Si's eyes widened: "I'm standing up for Meng Meng here! This is driving me crazy! You haven't seen the state Meng Meng is in now—she looks like a plant that's been hit by frost. Sigh, just hearing what Meng Meng told me, it's heartbreaking! Thank goodness I don't have a real mother-in-law! Otherwise, being a daughter-in-law would be way too tough!"
If Mrs. Leng were her actual mother-in-law and Leng Mochen hadn't taken her side, she'd face the same problems Su Meng is dealing with.
Maybe in the eyes of a wealthy mother-in-law like Mrs. Leng, both Su Meng and Li Si are girls from modest backgrounds, which naturally makes her feel socially superior to them.
And if you encounter a mother-in-law skilled at playing the sympathy card, all her son sees is her supposed sacrifices.
The woman who gave birth to and raised him puts on a show in front of him. Maybe he could overlook it once, but what about the hundredth time?
